Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
The swimming pool, open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, isn't fenced and the outdoor space is quite steep and rocky in places. If you're bringing children, they'll need to be supervised at all times.
We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. Parking is available for three cars here.

Local guide
About Siena Province
Step back into medieval Italy with a trip to Siena. The city is famous for its contrade, the maze-like historic districts that haven’t changed a beat in over a hundred years. Join the crowds in July and August when Siena’s famous Palio horserace thunders around the Piazza del Campo, or visit outside of the peak summer months for a calmer experience. Siena, rich in tradition, is also a great spot...
