About this property

Luxury apartment with pool: dolce vita at 15' on foot from the heart of Siena!

Typical apartment in Tuscan villa, well renovated, for two people, with the possibility of accommodating a third guest in the sofa bed in the living room.
The entrance, on the ground floor, leads directly to a large room (with sofa, armchairs, 32 '' TV and fireplace) which also includes a dining area, with table and six chairs. Also on the ground floor, on the left as you enter, there is the kitchen. The furniture includes a small table with two chairs, in wrought iron, which guests can place outside the main entrance and thus make quiet breakfasts or unforgettable dinners with a view of Porta Pispini, in the quiet of Santa Chiara. On the first floor there is a lovely double bedroom with a 17 '' TV and a bathroom.
The apartment is equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, wi-fi, hairdryer. Guests can also use a washing machine available in a common area.


Santa Chiara is an ancient complex, a former convent of 600, carefully restored and consists of a large building that houses three apartments as well as the home of the owner. It is located on the top of a hill just outside Siena (only 15 minutes walk from Piazza del Campo where the famous Palio is run twice a year!). It is accessed through a gate and a tree-lined avenue that flows into a large garden with ample parking facilities and beautiful views of both the city and the hills typical of the Tuscan landscape. It is surrounded by 5 hectares of well-kept countryside, with a large olive grove that produces an excellent extra virgin olive oil. The estate can be turned on foot making a pleasant walk going to rest under a hundred-year-old oak tree. A swimming pool, an indoor car park and a washing machine are included in the price.

fantastic 2 week stay in Santa Chiara
Anna & Claudia welcomed us into their stunning house. The apartment was recently stylishly refurbished and immaculately clean. We ate out each day on the peaceful and sheltered patio. In the evenings we sat overlooking the medieval walls of Siena watching the sun set. In the day we relaxed by the pool surrounded by olive groves (I recommend the olive oil - it is very special) overlooking the unspoilt Tuscan countryside. Porta Roma is only minutes walk away and another 20 minutes gentle stroll into Il Campo. There is a grocery shop at the bottom of the road with a small delicatessen of local dishes. The supermarket is half way to Il Campo. Anna asked if there was anything I could recommend she changed. Simple answer - No. This is a special place that we will visit again. Thank you so much Anna & Claudia. Steve, Lynne & Holly.

Excellent 1 bed apartment 20 mins walk from the main square
Part of a wider (small) complex, with owners living on site. Photos do NOT do justice to the property. Nice bedroom and newly (and modernly) refurbished bathroom and (small) kitchen. Nice living room space. Outside dining space and separate sitting area with view back to Siena. Just don't arrive own the day of the Palio as everything stops in Siena (including the supermarkets, which are closed).

Explore Siena from this fabulous hillside oasis
Santa Chiara was exactly as described, well equipped, the perfect location from which to explore Siena - just 15 minutes walk to the Piazza del Campo, and a little further to the bus station. The spectacular pool and accommodation were wonderful to retreat to at the end of a full day, or a lovely tranquil place to relax or take a walk through the olive groves, while enjoying views of the ancient city and its walls. It is the best of both worlds, having close pedestrian access to Siena and the peace and quiet of the countryside. Anna and her daughter, Claudia, were very welcoming and helpful. Be sure to take Claudia's free tour of the Duomo and city, and learn more about the art, history and customs of Sienna. We can't imagine a better place to stay and hope to return one day.

Idyllic
The location of the apartment is just perfect. Once inside the estate you could be deep in the Tuscan countryside yet it is only 20 minutes walk to the hustle and bustle of the Campo. We first visited Santa Chiara in 2008 and fell in love with the place and have stayed here nearly every year since. Anna is a very attentive host and the bread, olive and salami on arrival is most welcome The apartment is spacious and well furnished and is a real haven to relax in after a day’s walking round Siena or sightseeing in San Gimignano, Florence, Pienza or any of the many sights within an easy drive from Siena. A lovely way to see many of the hidden gems in Siena is to see if you can locate the emblem of each contrade. We spent many enjoyable hours trying to find a Porcupine or Eagle. There are many restaurants to choose from in Siena. Trattoria Fori Porta is a relatively short walk and is very good. Gallo Nero in via Porrione serves good wholesome Sienese food and also does medieval dishes. An alternative route back from the Campo is to go behind the Torre Mangia, through the Piazza del Mercato and down through the green valley and gardens of Orto de Pecci. This brings you out through the former psychiatric hospital at Porta Romana. We would wholeheartedly recommend this property and will be visiting again in August/September 2014.

Aussi bien que la description sur le site
Tout était parfait aucun bemol. Accueil chaleureux, hôtes disponibles, confortable et propre. Les activités de Sienne sont bien a distance de marche mais il faut se préparer a quelques côtes. Le bon côté est que nous descendions apres le souper!
