Hi-end Villa
This Sienna home provides amazing high-end accommodations for a small family that enjoys quality. The photos do not do it justice. The villa could be featured in Architectural Digest, with top of the line kitchen appliances, high quality tile work in both large bathrooms, comfortable furnishings and quality antiques. and large windows with high sloped ceilings in great room. My family of four adults very much enjoyed our stay in this private villa in a gated estate.
Several caveates--you need a car and navigation system to truly enjoy the villa and the surrounding areas. It is at least a 45 minute walk to the old city of Siena, and it is easy to get lost. Parking mid-day was impossible near the old city. There is public bus nearby if you know enough Italian to navigate the system.
Also, the two twin beds int the third (children's) bedroom are short and my 6 foot plus sons did not fit in the beds. They would be great for younger children for whom they are intended.
We ate at the nearby "Jolly" restaurant and had a great meal at a reasonable cost. We highly recommend it.
This is a great comfortable luxury base for exploring Siena and Tuscany. I only wish we had had more time on our busy trip to stay longer.
