About the Experience
What could be better than a week or two (or more!) right in the middle of historic Siena - in your very own apartment in Tuscany located close to the Piazza del Campo, the center of the city. There is not doubt about it - the Piazza del Campo is surely one of the most beautiful piazzas in the world and a great place to see while you take Tuscany holidays. Whether or not you plan your trip around the Palio, Siena's famous house races, held once in July and once in August, you will find yourself fully immersed in the Sienese sights, sounds and flavors. While it will be easy to hop a bus or train to other parts of Tuscany, we recommend that you spend most of your time enjoying the life of the town from your own Tuscany vacation rental
Location
Located on the top floor of a Renaissance palazzo in the heart of the old city, this Siena apartment rental is approximately two hundred yards from the central square, the Piazza del Campo, the setting for the Palio (medieval horse race) race in July and August. There are delis, markets, restaurants, and a bakery nearby, and plenty of sights to keep you busy. Siena is one of Italy's most beautiful cities, filled with art, history, and traditions. Explore the art and monuments in the Museo Civico, Il Duomo, Il Battistero, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale Etrusco - the list is endless. You are also just a few miles away from the wine producing regions of Chianti and Montalcino, and from the historic town of San Gimignano, should you feel so inclined to leave your pied-a-terre in central Siena.

    Enjoyed Most:
    The location near the heart of Siena. The view was wonderful as well, although the window framing the view was small. Still, we did not necessarily expect this great view, so it came as a nice surprise.
    Unpleasant Surprises:
    Only things so minor that if we mentioned them, we would sound picky indeed. The place was quite nice.
    Surrounding Area:
    Siena! A beautiful city. Certainly a contender for the most beautiful city in the world.
    Tips or Restaurants:
    List of restaurants provided in the room was fine. It being an apartment, the basic first necessities are provided, but the renter must bring or purchase own shampoo and cleaning supplies.

    Enjoyed Most:
    The apartment was great! It had plenty of room for our family 5 people. We were happy to spend time in our apartment at night, just hanging out. The apartment was within walking distance of Siena's major sites. We loved the city of Siena.
    Unpleasant Surprises:
    We thought that the cleaning and utility charges should be included in the price of the rental.
    Surrounding Area:
    Siena was beautiful! It also had great transportation methods to surrounding areas.
