On our visit to Italy we stayed at VRBO properties in three different cities (Florence, Siena, and Rome). All three properties were excellent--we were fortunate, and they were all clean, well-maintained, and well-stocked. But this one in Siena really was special. And I know that my wife, my kids, and I are going to be thinking about it and our time there for a very long time. A few things . . . (1) The hosts, Bianca Maria and her husband Andrea, were truly outstanding; they were super-responsive to any questions we had, and they offered great restaurant recommendations, even making last-minute reservations for us. (2) Everything mentioned in the other reviews about the physical beauty of the property is accurate; it really is striking. The photographs of the property, while nice, do not do it justice. (3) The view from the rooftop veranda is beautiful, and I regret not spending more time up there. (4) I'm not sure it would be possible to beat the central location of this property. (5) Staying here was a unique and wonderful experience, and my wife and I are already talking about how and when we might be able to get back.
