About this property

Our guests (and in particular the little ones!) always enjoy several indoors and outdoors ... amenities (trampoline, basket, soccer & volley areas, table-tennis, fossball and beach tennis on the grass, ...).

Dream VILLA for GROUPS, FAMILIES, kids & pets: relax, bbq, tennis table, basket

ADDITIONAL INFO:

The house has AC in all rooms, internet WiFi coverage, a fully equipped large & modern kitchen and SmartTV in the living room.
The ping-pong table in the living room becomes easily a large dining table for 18+ppl, in addition to the big 8 ppl table in the kitchen and a couple of outdoors tables sitting 18+ppl
On the 1st and 2nd floor there are 4 bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms.

One additional bedroom is on the ground floor.

All bedrooms have AC, mosquito nets and adjustable shutters: the area in summer is nice and ventilated and you can sleep with open windows, listening to the countryside night sounds.

If availability allows, alternative check-in/out times can be considered upon request.

Very interesting price (around 7 Euro/day) to the local (10 min drive) outdoor multi-swimming pool complex is available during summer months (mid June to end of August).

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS:

If I am not around, at any time you will be able to contact us by phone, What-App and email. When in the house you will have WiFi internet connection.
Moreover, our dear neighbors (also experienced hosts) and our friends in Siena will be helping you with all you need.


THE NEIGHBORHOOD:

Search for "monteriggioniturismo" on the internet for relevant tourist info.

It is the ideal location to start your bike and mountain bike tours of the area.

Get used to greet hikers passing by and asking for directions to Monteriggioni's castle: the house is located on a portion of Via Francigena, that the pilgrims in the Middle Ages used to walk to reach Rome from France - today it is a well indicated and beautiful hiking track, across olive trees fields and vineyards.

Across an easy path though the fields and alongside the woods, you can bike to Monteriggioni in 15 min or walk there in 30 min. The last part is uphill, so you need good legs ... but the nice view and an ice cream at the castle will repay the effort!

The house is located 300 mt out of the small village of Abbadia Isola, so you will enjoy the nature and the natural sounds of the countryside, while still being at 5 min drive from the nearest supermarket, bank, pharmacy & bus & train stop.
You can park your car in front of the house or inside the property.


GETTING AROUND:

Siena is the closest main town and can be reached by car in 12 minutes, while Florence is 45 mins drive away.

Rapolano Terme (thermal baths area) is also within 35 mins reach by car. Free thermal baths of Petriolo and of San Filippo also within a 30 min drive.

Driving to the seaside (Cecina, Piombino, Castiglione della Pescaia, Marina di Grosseto) would take a little more than one hour, while ski mountains can be reached (Monte Amiata) in one an a half hour.

San Giminiano, Volterra, Pienza, Montalcino, Bagno Vignoni, S.Galgano, San Quirico d'Orcia are just a few of the nice excursions within less than one hour drive.

A home away from home!

We enjoyed our stay at this home! It is in a great location, close to Siena, San Gimignano, and Chianti, as well as other cute towns. The home had plenty to entertain our five children (volleyball, trampoline, basketball hoop, and soccer net), and the family favorite was the ping pong table. It was especially hot and humid while we were there, so the AC in the kitchen, one bedroom, and attic were appreciated and utilized. The mosquito screens on the windows were another bonus!! Barbara was an excellent hostess, she was wonderful in communicating with me, and had detailed instructions on everything you need to know about the house. We would love to stay here again, and if we make it back to Siena and the Tuscan region, we will call Barbara!

Lovely and graceful

Our stay was wonderful. The house had all the amenities we needed. Barbara, the owner when above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our visit and a had memorable experience. She was helpful from the moment we booked our stay. She was super responsive and showed tremendous patience with all of our questions. Two recommendations: rent a car and book your taxis in advance if possible. Especially upon your arrival at the Siena train station. Grocery store is about 20 minutes from the home. Thank you Barbara for your generosity with your time and attention. With gratitude, Lorraine
