Typical dwelling in the heart of the Tuscany between FLORENCE and SIENA
(Text automatically translated) The apartment is located in a former Benedictine abbey situated along the Via Francigena. Inside there are 700 furniture and original frescoes.

Nice house, a lot of space & quiet environment
House located in very quiet environment outside of the city. Well fournished with kitchen tools ans beds. It was clean and in good condition. Just a bit difficult to find on our arrival but it was really worthing it. Garden is a bit small to eat outside. I would cerrtainly recommend the place.
Ruime woning op een perfecte locatie voor auto en openbaar vervoer in het centrum van Toscane.
De woning is net en zeer goed uitgerust. Enige minpunt: slechts één toilet in de badkamer vraagt wat organisatie 😀.
Abitazione confortevole, ben fornita di accessori e comodità, ma sopratutto con un magnifico camino "monumentale". Proprietario disponibile e cortese. Un ottimo soggiorno, nn c'è che dire!!!
Très bon et chaleureux accueil dans un logement tout confort, calme, spacieux, disposant de tout le matériel nécessaire. Très bien situé, assez central. A recommander.
