Siena Cathedral, or the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, is a 13th century church in Siena, Tuscany. As it houses works by Donatello, Bernini, Michelangelo and Cimabue (among others) and is one of the main sights in the city, chances are that it is already on many itineraries of visitors to the city. However, if you have found a luxury villa in Siena and are making the trip there this summer, there is even more reason to visit the Cathedral.

Michelangelo
Nous avons été très bien accueillis à l'heure prévue. Le logement était conforme aux attentes. Brenna est un village charmant. Tout serait parfait si le propriétaire changeait les fenêtres sur rue, s'il fournissait un nécessaire de nettoyage pour le sol et s'il avait précisé que les environs de la maison abritent des scorpions.

Brenna is a quiet little village which is a great base for exploring the Sienna region. The villa is wonderful. There is a really nice cafe/restaurant only 20m away which is open from lunch time. We really enjoyed our stay. You do need a car to get around however.

Tiziano+Leonardo
The villa is located in a very small village, surrounded by amazing views! Also great starting point to drive around the area. Very close to Pisa, Florence and Sienna. However the car is NEEDED!
Villa is an amazing condition! beautiful and clean inside (make sure you get the wood for the fire place, real treat!), great bbq/dining area outside, 2min away from a restaurant serving fantastic pizzas! Would recommend to anyone.
The lady who owns the restaurant just around the corner - Liliana, was helping us whenever needed! She was really really nice any time we asked for anything.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Galileo
We stay in the Galileo unit and the unit was as magnificent as the pictures. Very modern and brand new. There were two bedrooms, one of the bedrooms had a man-made chimney which causes the room to be cold at night. However, there was a central heater to warm up the place. There was a back and front yard which were pleasant at night but can get very hot during the day (we were there in early June). The property is located in a quiet area in Brenna that is friendly to cyclist and runners; bikes are available at the property for no charge. Brenna is approximately 15 minutes from Sienna, one hour from Florence and 2 hours from Pisa; very convenient for day trips. There are two huge supermarkets (Penny, forgot the other name) in Sienna for shopping that are open late There is also a restaurant right across the property, just in case you don't want to cook. Linens and towels are provided and there is a washing machine for cleaning. The person who looks after the house is conveniently located a few blocks away from the place. Although she speaks very little english, she is extremely friendly and made our stay very comfortable. The one drawback for me was the bugs/critters. I did expect mosquitoes and flies since it felt to me like being in the country, but I was surprise to see scorpions. We made them part of our adventure and learn a bit about them. Truly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again my next time in Italy.
