Penthouse San Francesco

A few steps from the historic center of Siena, the apartment is located in front of the Basilica of San Francesco, is located on the fourth and top floor of a building (WITHOUT elevator) and has two magnificent 100sqm terraces that offer a unique view of the city. The apartment, newly renovated, is equipped with every comfort, and consists of a large living area with crystal table and smart TV, two large double bedrooms both equipped with wardrobe and desk, a single bedroom plus a children's bed 0 to 5 years, two bathrooms both with shower, a kitchen with coffee machine (Nespresso), kettle, oven, microwave, refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher and a cellar. On request it is possible to add an extra single bed. In the whole apartment there is the super fiber wifi to surf without limits at high speed.
The area is really quiet and is only 10 minutes from Piazza del Campo, easily reachable on foot with the escalators of S. Francesco. Below the house there are: bus stop, supermarket, bank, pharmacy, tobacconist, church and gym. The station is only 1km away and is well connected by bus or reachable on foot in 15 minutes.
What makes the apartment unique are certainly the two panoramic terraces of 100sqm which offer an incredible spectacle. The views of the Basilica of San Francesco and part of the historic center of the city of Siena are enchanting, and offer a unique place to relax, eat or taste a good wine offered by us!

Alessandro is the ultimate host! Providing breakfast treats, bath amenities and a plethora of information on Siena and surrounding environs. The apartment is spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. The beds are restful and an abundance of towels are provided. The terrace is perfect for al fresco dining and the view is unsurpassed. Morning coffee, afternoon cocktails and evening dining are a must an abundance this amazing view. Travel into the city on foot is manageable as are day trips by car, bus or train. Highly recommended for a memorable holiday.

We spent 23 days at Penthouse San Francesco and it could not have been better. The host is AWESOME! His only goal was to help us have a spectacular time, and we did. The location is perfect (1 minute to a supermarket, 1 minute to a pharmacy, 3 minutes to the city entrance) and the view is stunning. The Penthouse is as advertised, very clean, very well provisioned, and very quiet: we slept great! We will be back. I cannot say enough about the host - he was the best I've ever had and I've had them all over the world!

Absolutely Amazing
This is without out the greatest Vrbo we have ever stayed at in our lives! Five stars does not even begin to explain the property! Alessandro picked us up from the train station, and when we could not find a taxi for our departure, he came and picked us up and took us back to the train station! The villa itself was exquisitely, clean and completely stocked. Reviews are the wonderful city from the terrace were absolutely gorgeous. We were so impressed by our stay in our house that we are planning a return trip next year!

Gracious living with every thoughtful comfort
The view, the view, the view; the terrazzo floors; the generous and thoughtful hosts; the beguiling 70 travertine steps; the comfortable beds and wonderful linens; the bottle of wine and nougats that awaited us.... We could have lived for months at Attico San Francesco, in a daze of gracious living. A grocery store below the apartment offers quality goods from pre-made lunches and dinners to basics for breakfast. The apartment has a wonderful view of Siena from outside the walled city, with easy access for all able pedestrians via escalator into the heart of the old city. A binder at the apartment offers guidance for sights, dining and local points of interest. All basic and many additional thoughtful amenities are provided, from a really generous array of breakfast goods & snacks to washer / dishwasher / blackout shades to shower & personal grooming accessories (good shampoo, etc.). Communication with Maria Rosario and Alessandro was easy and fast; Alessandro kindly picked us up at the train station which made our travels so much easier and nicer, then helped us carry bags upstairs, no small feat! In sum, this is one of the best places in Italy with thoughtful and experienced hosts who excel in gracious and generous welcomes. Thank you, Alessandro and Rosario.

Amazing stay in Siena
I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Attico San Francisco. The apartment was spacious, clean, charming and perfectly located for our activities both in Siena and the surrounding areas. While not in the heart of town, it was extremely walkable (just a few minutes to the Piazza del Campo), and we preferred the privacy and relative quiet of its location. Our host Alessandro was wonderful! He met us upon arrival and made sure we were able to find parking during our stay. He went above and beyond make us feel welcome and had supplied his apartment with everything we needed to start each day with delicious coffee, tea and local snacks. We would highly recommend this property to friends and family and plan to return in the future for another, longer stay. Grazie mille, Alessandro!

Also, thank you again to N, who saved us, as we had forgotten our key and were locked out! Such a beautiful view from the main terrace which we enjoyed on many evenings. The apartment is perfect, the location is perfect for walking into the walled part of Siena and is easy car access to all the beautiful surrounding villages, wineries, etc. MR&A provided great information on things to do, places to visit, the history of Siena, restaurants, available services, parking, etc. MR&A are great hosts, very helpful and thoughtful.

If we could give more than 5 stars, we most definitely would. The location is fantastic, just 5 minutes walk to the city wall, with free parking close by. The apartment is perfectly set up for a family or two couples, quiet and very comfortable. The host was beyond welcoming, kind and generous, meeting us on arrival and even providing generous breakfasts and snacks for our whole family, a lovely bottle of delicious wine, and advice throughout our stay. The kitchen is well set up for cooking, including spices, olive oil. Plus comfy beds, great towels, good wifi. And the most spectacular view from a huge terrace - breathtaking both at night and in the morning, We fantasized about moving in, and living surrounded by such beauty. Grazie mille, Alessandro, for making our special week in Siena even more amazing.

Quickly, perfect location, perfect town, and a host that goes way out his way to ensure that your stay is memorable. A view that we will not soon miss. And a balcony that is large a wonderful spot for meals. There are stairs to climb in the building, the only downside for some. Alessandro offered tips and suggestions for your stay. He is a host without compare. Would we stay again? In. Blink of an eye. Don’t delay, book this one.

Amazing Stay in Beautiful Siena
If I could give this experience 100 stars, I would! The apartment itself is truly incredible - very spacious, well stocked and thoughtfully appointed. But even better than all of this is the outside space. The terrace has the most amazing panoramic view of Siena! However, the best part of all is the property owners. Alessandro offered to meet Me and my family at the train station to transport us and our luggage to the apartment. We ended-up arriving during a bad thunder storm, and our train was significantly delayed, but Alessandro was intrepid and insisted on waiting for us. At the apartment, his wife, Rosario, was waiting for us. Together they had stocked the apartment with supplies and food staples, including items specifically geared toward our children. They spent considerable time with us going over everything in the apartment and the highlights of the city. They even helped us decide on a dinner spot, given our tastes, and Alessandro facilitated a reservation. I cannot say enough positive things about our experience here! We will definitely be back, and we will recommend this property to all of our friends and family.

Spacious Penthouse with a lovely view and all the amenities
Attico San Francesco Penthouse his was the perfect place to stay in Siena. In the heart of wine country, it was walkable to the center of Siena. It was comfortable with cute touches and maps/pamphlets of the surround area. There's a grocery store right down the hill, restaurants, pharmacy, and all the things you could need close by. Allesandro and his wife met us when we checked in and explained all the details necessary for us to enjoy our stay. They provided some nice touches like some cereal, milk, coffee, etc. so that we didn't have to go out and buy groceries straight away. Although we never "cooked" the property is outfitted for a longer stay. Unfortunately, for us the weather for the most part awful and rainy but we did manage to sit outside and enjoy the Patio on one evening and it's a wonderful place to be. If I was in the area again I would certainly stay here.
