Villa Il Borghetto

Found this place on Airbnb -- but then looked it up and saw you could book direct and save some $$ -- so we did that and were SO HAPPY WITH OUR STAY! Wanted a place with easy parking as this was our "home base" during our four nights in Siena to explore Tuscany by car. We chose the three bedroom, one bathroom "Il Campo" apartment with a great view of the hills and nice kitchen, living room, etc. Very clean and modern. They provide a coffee machine and coffee in every room -- plus there is a supermarket a few minutes drive away to stock up on supplies. Right across the street is the bus stop in case you don't want to drive into town (walking up that big hill next to the road is not advisable). Short 5 min. ride and the Villa will even sell you the bus tickets (1.75 Euro each way). Last bus is at 8:30ish -- but you can always get a taxi back at one of the taxi stands or by phone. Special thank you to our hosts Claudio and Cristina -- the brother and sister team who run the place. We dealt more with Cristina who was incredibly helpful answering our many questions about Siena, the Villa, and just about anything else! She is the best and if I could give 100 stars, I would. Thank you lovely Cristina for making our stay in Tuscany special. Hope to see you again as Siena is very central to everything and has many great restaurants.
