Loved it!
From the moment we arrived in Siena in the pouring rain and was picked up at the bus stop by Alessandro we knew we were in for a great stay. The apartment is incredible with amazing views of Siena. Even being winter I spent every morning on the deck watching the sun rise. A great way to start the day. It is a short walk to the escalators to get you up to the old town and was nice to come back home at the end of the day. The supermarket is fantastic and down a flight of stairs from the apartment as is the car hire place. A perfect spot to base ourselves while exploring Tuscany. We easily parked the car in the street outside the apartment. Alessandro was very helpful and attentive and we appreciated him checking in with us. The kitchen was well stocked as was the bathroom. We can not recommend Attico highly enough.

Fantastic, clean and homely and all of the little touches from the hosts were lovely.
Alessandro met us and gave us all of the information we needed on the property and Siena. The apartment has a stunning view and is close to everything. Only wish we had visited in summer as well. A great place to stay. Lovely and clean and so much room. All of the lovely little items the hosts left us made it so comfortable. Coffee and breakfast supplies were wonderful. We would love to visit again.

Brilliant Stay
A wonderful apartment, clean, great location but most of all our hosts were amazing. Alessandro really was a pleasure to deal with and went above, and beyond when one of us needed some medical advice by putting us in touch with a trusted local doctor who was amazing. The whole stay was a complete delight.

Exceptional Tuscan Apartment in Siena
What a wonderful apartment with a fantastic view of Siena from the terrace! This was a perfect location for us to stay in Siena with a car. We could explore Siena easily from the location. It is an easy walk to the escalators taking you up to Basilica San Francisco. From there an easy walk the rest of the way to Il Campo and the rest of the inner city. One may find it hard to leave the apartment with the stunning views and double doors opening to the terraces and fresh Tuscan air. We enjoyed our wine, salami, and cheeses while watching the moon set over the city. The apartment is well appointed and comfortable. It can easily accommodate two couples and another single if needed. The beds are very comfortable. You could make your own meals in the well equipped kitchen. Plenty of snacks provided as well. We were well attended to by Alessandro for any needs and guidance in Siena and around Tuscany. The location provided a perfect center of Tuscany to visit surrounding areas such as Montepulciano, Pienza, Florence, San Gimignano, and a nice drive through the Tuscan hills around Chianti. We would emphasize as in the description that this is a 4th floor walk up. For anyone with limited mobility or difficulty with lots of walking, it may not be the right spot. If you like walking and exploring the sights of one of the best Italian cities, and relaxing in a quiet neighborhood with glass of wine in hand, we would highly recommend. We would come back in an instant.

Siena vista
Alessandro is the ultimate host! Providing breakfast treats, bath amenities and a plethora of information on Siena and surrounding environs. The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beds are restful and an abundance of towels are provided. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and the view is unsurpassed. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails and evening dining are a must an abundance this amazing view. Travel into the city on foot is manageable as are day trips by car, bus or train. Highly recommended for a memorable holiday.

Perfetto!
We spent 23 days at Penthouse San Francesco and it could not have been better. The host is AWESOME! His only goal was to help us have a spectacular time, and we did. The location is perfect (1 minute to a supermarket, 1 minute to a pharmacy, 3 minutes to the city entrance) and the view is stunning. The Penthouse is as advertised, very clean, very well provisioned, and very quiet: we slept great! We will be back. I cannot say enough about the host - he was the best I've ever had and I've had them all over the world!

Absolutely Amazing
This is without out the greatest Vrbo we have ever stayed at in our lives! Five stars does not even begin to explain the property! Alessandro picked us up from the train station, and when we could not find a taxi for our departure, he came and picked us up and took us back to the train station! The villa itself was exquisitely, clean and completely stocked. Reviews are the wonderful city from the terrace were absolutely gorgeous. We were so impressed by our stay in our house that we are planning a return trip next year!

Gracious living with every thoughtful comfort
The view, the view, the view; the terrazzo floors; the generous and thoughtful hosts; the beguiling 70 travertine steps; the comfortable beds and wonderful linens; the bottle of wine and nougats that awaited us.... We could have lived for months at Attico San Francesco, in a daze of gracious living. A grocery store below the apartment offers quality goods from pre-made lunches and dinners to basics for breakfast. The apartment has a wonderful view of Siena from outside the walled city, with easy access for all able pedestrians via escalator into the heart of the old city. A binder at the apartment offers guidance for sights, dining and local points of interest. All basic and many additional thoughtful amenities are provided, from a really generous array of breakfast goods & snacks to washer / dishwasher / blackout shades to shower & personal grooming accessories (good shampoo, etc.). Communication with Maria Rosario and Alessandro was easy and fast; Alessandro kindly picked us up at the train station which made our travels so much easier and nicer, then helped us carry bags upstairs, no small feat! In sum, this is one of the best places in Italy with thoughtful and experienced hosts who excel in gracious and generous welcomes. Thank you, Alessandro and Rosario.

Amazing stay in Siena
I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Attico San Francisco. The apartment was spacious, clean, charming and perfectly located for our activities both in Siena and the surrounding areas. While not in the heart of town, it was extremely walkable (just a few minutes to the Piazza del Campo), and we preferred the privacy and relative quiet of its location. Our host Alessandro was wonderful! He met us upon arrival and made sure we were able to find parking during our stay. He went above and beyond make us feel welcome and had supplied his apartment with everything we needed to start each day with delicious coffee, tea and local snacks. We would highly recommend this property to friends and family and plan to return in the future for another, longer stay. Grazie mille, Alessandro!

Thanks for your hospitality, your thoughtfulness made our stay at Attico a once in a lifetime experience. the 180 degree views are epic!

Also, thank you again to N, who saved us, as we had forgotten our key and were locked out! Such a beautiful view from the main terrace which we enjoyed on many evenings. The apartment is perfect, the location is perfect for walking into the walled part of Siena and is easy car access to all the beautiful surrounding villages, wineries, etc. MR&A provided great information on things to do, places to visit, the history of Siena, restaurants, available services, parking, etc. MR&A are great hosts, very helpful and thoughtful.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous
If we could give more than 5 stars, we most definitely would. The location is fantastic, just 5 minutes walk to the city wall, with free parking close by. The apartment is perfectly set up for a family or two couples, quiet and very comfortable. The host was beyond welcoming, kind and generous, meeting us on arrival and even providing generous breakfasts and snacks for our whole family, a lovely bottle of delicious wine, and advice throughout our stay. The kitchen is well set up for cooking, including spices, olive oil. Plus comfy beds, great towels, good wifi. And the most spectacular view from a huge terrace - breathtaking both at night and in the morning, We fantasized about moving in, and living surrounded by such beauty. Grazie mille, Alessandro, for making our special week in Siena even more amazing.

What is better than perfect?
Quickly, perfect location, perfect town, and a host that goes way out his way to ensure that your stay is memorable. A view that we will not soon miss. And a balcony that is large a wonderful spot for meals. There are stairs to climb in the building, the only downside for some. Alessandro offered tips and suggestions for your stay. He is a host without compare. Would we stay again? In. Blink of an eye. Don’t delay, book this one.
