- SIENA QUIET VILLA -
Daily room rentals in a liberty style villa in the center of Siena
|
||
 |
Would you like to visit Siena, but do not speak Italian? It is so simple! Just ask Helen, an American with two bi-lingual children, who as of this year, rents guestrooms in her centrally located liberty style family villa. It's on a quiet street across from Siena's Medici Fortress and next to the old town walls in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods: San Prospero.
|
| Her
family lives above on the second floor and will gladly offer assistance, help plan day trips
or just have a quiet chat about local customs and activities for those
seeking a warm and friendly welcome. More independent travellers are free to come and go as they please, as everyone has their own house keys. If, however, you would prefer to sit back, relax and reflect in tranquillity among chestnut trees and wildflowers on a breezy hilltop, consider isolating yourselves in her family's country residence with its own private woodland park at Marmoraia. |

In addition, for wine lovers,
her husband Orlando's underground wine cellar, located in the old town center, dates back to the 1200's.
It contains a collection of about 800 bottles of Italian wines, of
which, more than 450 bottles are from different Chianti wineries (some no
longer in existence) and boasts a spectacular rainwater well. There is neither tasting nor selling of this exclusive collection. |
|
| The quiet Siena villa is a 10 minute ride from the train station, a 3 minute walk from the bus station, a 10 minute walk to the famous town square - Piazza del Campo and numerous museums and churches, a 2 minute walk to the local grocery store, a 3 minute walk to the Italian National Enoteca, 2-4 minute walk to local restaurants famous for their home cooking, good Chianti wine and inexpensive menus. The villa is located right across the street from the open-air market, around the Medici Fortress, on Wednesdays, of 250 vendors from all over Tuscany. |
