- SIENA QUIET VILLA -
|
 |
Visiting Siena is simple
even if you do not speak Italian! Just ask Helen,
an American married to a Sienese with two bi-lingual children, who as of
this year, rents guestrooms in her centrally located family villa. It's on
a quiet street across from the Medici Fortress and next to Siena's old
town walls, in one of the most prestigious neighborhoods: San Prospero.
 |
| For those seeking
a warm and friendly welcome, her family will gladly offer assistance, help
plan day trips or just have a quiet chat about local customs and
activities. More independent travellers are free to come and go, as everyone has their own keys.  |

For wine lovers, her husband Orlando's wine cellar,
located next to Piazza del Campo in Siena's historic center, dates back to
the 1200's. It contains a collection starting from 1941 of about 900
bottles of Italian wines (over 500 bottles from different Chianti
wineries) and boasts a spectacular rainwater well. There is neither
tasting nor selling of this exclusive collection. Visits by appointment
only, for their guests. | |
| They are just a 10 minute taxi ride up from the train station, a 5
minute walk from the bus terminal, a 10 minute walk into the famous town
square - Piazza del Campo, nearby to numerous museums, churches, family
delicatessians and restaurants famous for their home cooking, good Chianti
wines and affordable menus. Located across from the Italian National
Enoteca and open-air Wednesday market of 250 vendors from all over
Tuscany. A unique experience of unhurried hospitality and warm, caring assistance in English, especially for extended stays. |
