Our host Francesca guided us from reservation to checkout ensuring our trip to Tuscany was flawless. It started with arranging transport from Florence. Our driver was Vincenzo. We arranged to get picked up early so we could make a stop on San Gimignano (Francesca's suggestion). He not only provided transport, he also provided us information on the area and suggested lunch at a Chianti winery which was a highlight of the trip. It felt like a friend or family member was showing us around. We had a delicious and informative welcome dinner when we arrived at the apartment The apartment is beautiful, very spacious and has two beautiful balconies. We booked a wine tour to Montepulciano/ Pienza. Our driver-tour guide sommelier Ambra was great and ensured we had a very special experience. All of our excursion were arranged directly with Best of Mas and it was very convenient and worth while having a local person guiding us to make the very most of our trip to beautiful Tuscany.

As the title suggests-we could not have found a better place to stay for our Tuscany adventures. Francesca, our hostess, has to be the kindest and most gracious VRBO owner I have ever encountered. And I use VRBO a lot.
She met us at the train station with 2 cars—not just the one we rented- she knew the five of us had a lot of large bags. She took time to orient us to the beautiful apartment rather than just pointing to the book with detailed information.
We were a group of five—my brother, sister, their spouses and me. The four had never been in Italy so Francesca arranged a “welcome” dinner our first night, which we requested and paid for. Two fun ladies came and cooked an authentic Tuscan meal. What a night!
We rented a car from Francesca—a very new Jeep Compass with automatic transmission and all the safety features which allowed us to safely drive around Tuscany.
The apartment itself is as advertised. Spacious, well equipped, comfortable and clean. We all slept well. Kitchen seems to have been remodeled recently and we enjoyed making breakfast and cooked one dinner there.
I wish I could accurately describe how easy working with Francesca and Marta who helps Francesca. Again, Francesca is the most gracious person I may have ever met. We all agreed we would book the home again.

We stayed in this apartment in Oct2023. Overall our stay there was good. The front of the apartment is on a busy street on the 4th floor. The website shows beautiful views which are from the balconies from the front of the apartment. The views were incredible and we enjoyed watching the sunrise from the balcony. What wasn't clear from the posting was that right below the balcony is a busy street. In the morning before traffic started up it was peaceful but for the rest of the day there is quite a bit of traffic. The back of the apartment looks into a large block of apartments. We raised the shades to let light in and you are looking into your neighbors windows and balconies.
The apartment itself was nicely sized. There are 4 bedrooms, and two of those have en-suite bathrooms which was nice. This is not a "modern" apartment. The appliances and the furnishings are fine but older. We had problems with the clothes dryer continually shutting off and the toaster didn't work well, but everything else was functional.
Other than the traffic we liked the location. It was well situated for our travels both within Siena and for our travels outside the city.
One thing that could have become an issue but didn't was that approximately 10 days before we were going to arrive I received a note that we had to pay for electricity above 60kWh (this was not in the contract). The AC unit controls were not there when we arrived and it was muggy but they brought them the next day.

The unit has a nice view from the balcony and was very spacious. 3 couples could easily stay there and not be crowded. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms modern. The A/C worked very well and was quiet. The host was very nice and helpful.

Francesca & her team were wonderful! She arranged a Van to pick up the 4 of us in Florence and driver is to VRBO. We walked to grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, El Campo, cathedral, etc. Our ages 78,75,74,66! She helped us navigate healthcare in foreign country while feeling unwell on 2 occasions. She arranged a truffle tour that had to be cancelled due to sickness and have us a rental car for ~2 days. She went above and beyond and we are so grateful.
Only a few suggestions: kitchen- task lighting for cooking, bathrooms- hooks, shelves, towel racks.

Would recommend this place

The Casamia penthouse was beautiful, spacious and clean. Just as presented in the pictures. Francesca was wonderful- so responsive with all of our requests. We arranged with her airport and cruise ship transfers, as well as winery tours and a cooking class. All arrangements worked out perfectly. Quiet location and walkable to Siena

Enjoyed our 3 day visit to Siena. Casamia Penthouse is an awesome place, exactly as described,Wish we could have enjoyed the hot tub and terraces but it was chilly and rainy! Did have difficulty finding the place but Sabrina was awesome helping us!! Very clean, bed very comfortable, fully equipped kitchen, centrally located. Would definitely stay there again!!

Francesca was very kind! Our travel up from the Almafi Coast was long (even though we were on a fast train) as there was trouble with lines on the track that held us up. Therefore, we were 2+ hours later getting to the property on a Sunday night. Taxi’s we’re very few and far between so we dragged our luggage all the way up the hill at 22:00! Not the hosts fault though, we didn’t have enough communication ahead of time. She came by the following evening and showed us everything we needed to know about the apartment. She gave us advice and tried to help us with travel arrangements to some of the mid-evil towns for the following day. I learned that even though we were traveling near the end of the season it’s still imperative to make even the smallest arrangements well in advance of your travel date! Francesca did all she could to help us make our short time in Siena worth while and was even able to arrange transportation to Florence at the end of our stay! The location to the mid-evil city of Siena isn’t as close as I’d hoped but everything we needed was still within walking distance. The apartment was very nice and comfortable for our group of 5 and I even cooked! I would definitely recommend this apartment!

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay in this spacious, clean and art-filled apartment. The rooms and decor are even nicer in person. We so appreciated the air conditioning during the very hot weather, the apartment was a great place to cool down and relax after exploring the area in the intense heat! The beds were comfortable, the kitchen fully-stocked and Francesca was easy to communicate with. Given the heat, we may have chosen an accommodation slightly closer to the main part of Siena to avoid extra time walking in heat. But overall, we would happily recommend this unit!

Grazie Francesca! Your knowledge & hospitality made our family trip very memorable. Excellent suggestions for sights and restaurants. Casamia was spacious, well located and easily accommodated our family. We will gladly recommend to family and friends!

This appartment hosts easily 7 persons, with 8 persons it gets tight as one bed is pretty narrow. Beautiful living room with kitchen which is well equipped for cooking. Bedrooms are all fine as well as the bathrooms. We only missed a few hooks for towels. Everything is new or in good shape (exception are the antiques obviously, which give the appartment a nice touch). The appartment is very well placed to explore Siena and the surroundings like the Chianti region, San Gimigniano and Florence. The host Francesca is very helpful and provides a lot of useful information. There are a couple of Pizzerias in easy walking distance, we liked the pizza at „The Jolly“ very much.

A great penthouse apartment
We had a fabulous time in the Siena area and Francesca's apartment was a great base of operations. My wife and I were traveling with one other couple and there was more than enough room. We each had a bedroom with a private bath. There were actually two more bedrooms and a shared bath with a large shower. There is a large dining room table and a smaller kitchen table as well.
There is a working hot tub on the patio that we were very excited about when we checked in (and then never used because we were so busy and tired at night). I sat on the balcony having coffee each morning - a perfect way to start the day.
The apartment has a parking spot that was available to us but we found street parking right across from the entrance every time so we never had to use the available spot.
Francesca was a wonderful host. We were in touch each day and she was always sending me restaurant recommendations and tour tidbits for the different areas we had planned. She also delivered home backed nutella cookies that were delicious with our morning coffee.
I would highly recommend Francesca's apartment if you are looking to explore Siena and the surrounding Tuscan area. It is close to highways and an relatively easy 15 minute walk to old town Siena. Take advantage of Francesca's local knowledge of the area and you will not be disappointed
Thank you Francesca.

Fabulous
The property is fantastic and would comfortably sleep eight people with enough space not to be on top of each other. Everything you need for a complete home from home. Lovely balcony and hot tub. Ten minutes walk to the gateway of Siena.

This is a lovely spacious apartment and was a great base for our Tuscany holiday - much larger than we expected 😊. Francesca was very welcoming. Large dining table and plenty of seating options on the 2 terraces. We were a party of 4 adults and had plenty of room - the appartment can accommodate 5-6 adults comfortably. It is probably a 15-20 minute easy walk to the Siena city wall. The appartment has a private parking bay behind the building however we parked in front as there were always spaces available.

Wonderful place to stay
From the beginning, Francesca answered every question and was an exceptional host. Her penthouse was clean, bright and expertly decorated. It was clear to us upon arriving that she cared about her property and took time to make sure her guests were comfortable! There are 4 nicely decorated bedrooms (2 bedrooms contain bathrooms; and there are two bedrooms that will share a very nice bathroom on the hallway).
Her husband picked us up from Fiumicino airport and drove us to the property. He certainly did not have to do that but we greatly appreciated
There are 2 food markets near the house, and from one of them, you can park underneath the mall and walk thru the mall and take a series of escalators up and out and walk through the city to get to the area where the Palio horse races take place. we had just missed it by a few days...along the walk are shopping stores and restaurants...great distance for kids to walk (just watch out for the random cars that drive thru).
Back to the house, there are about 3 separate balconies to enjoy the spectacular spacial views across the street (2 are off bedrooms and the largest is off the dining area).Francesca makes sure that you lack nothing inside the house...there’s a washer and dryer there too.
She cares about her guests too, so when my son (9) developed stomach pain and fever, she was able to schedule and drive us to the pediatrician (all within 30 minutes)! I am truly grateful for that. After we left the doctor’s office, she took us to get the prescription filled, and without missing a beat, she came and gave the rest of the group cooking lessons. They made 4 different types of pasta, by hand, and we ate it all for dinner, while Francesca cleaned the kitchen and left us to enjoy the food.
From the penthouse in Siena, you can take a scenic drive to Montalcino (oh! Francesca rented to us a 9-seater van for our group of 8 - it is a manual though, so be sure someone in the group can drive that)....or just be lazy and let Francesca take you on the tours through wine country, Tuscany. There were very few tourists in Montalcino, so if you want to avoid the crowds, visit and see a beautiful castle, shop for wine, eat gelato and just walk. There are beautiful scenic views along your stroll. We had a wonder 6 day stay in Francesca’s penthouse and I would love for everyone to get a taste of Italy. Stay at her house, you will love it!
Thank you Francesca!!

Four of us (2 couples), recently stayed in Francesca's apartment, and had a great time. Her apartment is spacious, well furnished, and supplied with everything necessary for a pleasant stay. Also, the location is excellent; close to restaurants, shopping, and a short distance from the city center. Added bonuses were air conditioning throughout, and two very large terraces with incredible views (both furnished with patio furniture and extra seating; one with a hot tub). Francesca is a brilliant cook, and our first night there, served us an excellent meal with wine; this certainly made our settling in much easier.We would not hesitate to return to this apartment should we travel to Siena again.

A Tuscan Gem!
This property is truly special and the owner, Francesca, is a super host and made our experience one we shall never forget. Casamia is clean, comfortable and centrally located. We stayed three weeks and the apartment, with two furnished terraces, felt like home. Please note: Francesca cares about you and goes out of her way to meet your every need. Her tour options, which she leads, were among the best we’ve experienced. If you are looking for a memorable Tuscan holiday - Casamia is the place to start.

Spacious property with nice views
Enjoyed staying in Siena at this location, apartment is large enough for four couples with four bedrooms and two outside terraces. Hot tub outside master bedroom is nice touch. On top of building so there are views of countryside and is high enough to keep street noise to a minimum. We mostly ate out in Sienna (25 min walk to city center) and 10 mins walk to train station. Overall good experience here and would rent again. Used this as our base while visiting Tuscany wineries - did put over 1,000 Km’s on car but wanted to explore the whole region.

Great base for your Tuscany trip!
My family and our family friends (also a family of 4) decided that we want to explore Tuscany and its surrounding areas during spring holidays and we booked Francesca's place well in advance for that. She was super helpful before our arrival and during it as well. She came to fix when jacuzzi wasn't working, so we fully took advantage of it that night! :) Extra nice after a long day of wine tastings and wanderings through the Tuscan countryside. The location of the apartment is great - you can get to Siena easily and quickly, but can also be on the highway/motorway in no time. The apartment itself is great, well equipped and spacious, with great views from the balconies. We really enjoyed staying there and would thoroughly recommend everyone to stay there. Thank you Francesca for making our family getaway as amazing as it was! :)

Great Place to Stay
The penthouse was a great location for our time in Tuscany. Easy access the Medieval City of Siena, as well as the grocery store. Centrally located for wine tasting in Chianti and Montalcino. The penthouse was roomy and comfortable. Francesca was very responsive to questions and helpful to suggest wineries to visit as well as other places we were interested in.

Fabulous spacious apartment within easy walking distance to to the heart of old Siena
Our family group of 4 brothers and their wives gathering for a reunion in the beautiful town of Siena found ourselves in Francesca’s apartment. It had a stunning view from both terraces overlooking the Tuscan Hills. The apartment itself was incredibly spacious and very well appointed and clean. We all immediately relaxed on walking in.
Francesca herself was excellent in her communications with me throughout our planning stages and organised a pick up for all 8 adults and luggage from the train station and took us to the apartment without any fuss. Nothing was too much trouble for Francesca as she organised a cooking class at the apartment for all of us and patiently took us through the process of pasta making and taught us about the close link between wine and food for the Italians. It was a memorable week for us all and to Francesca I say thank you for being part of that week showing us and teaching us about your Siena. Being there in the week prior to The Palio was very special and being a part of your ancient traditions - Unforgettable! I would not hesitate to recommend this apartment for a stay in Siena. I will go back as I left a piece of my heart there 🙂

Lovely, spacious, comfortable apartment close to the old city
The apartment was lovely and spacious and had everything you could need. Located about 10 mins walk from the train station and 20 mins from the city walls.
Francesca and Francesco were the perfect hosts. Always on hand and contactable any time. We booked Francesco as our driver for airport transfers and to drop us in San Gimignano. Francesca was there to welcome us on our arrival and was an absolute pleasure to deal with, always able to give advice on everything and has a great knowledge of the area. She even provided a mobile phone to contact her on when we were exploring.
The apartment is huge with two great outdoor terraces with views across the surrounding hills as you are 4 floors up. Only slight draw back for us was some traffic noise when on the terraces - but we soon became used to it after a few days (we don’t live in a town so are being a bit fussy on this point!)
We had an absolutely fabulous time and thank you Francesca for being a great host and letting us stay in this great place!

Amazing! Clean, comfortable, convenient, beautiful views. Would definitely go back!
Wow; what can we say! This was the perfect place for four adults to enjoy a week in Siena. Close to the grocery store, easy walking into the wall and the Piazza's, cathredals, restaurants and coffee bars. Icon experience.
The very best part was Francesca taking us on a day long wine country tour. She is amazing, fun, informative and very kind. We had a wonderful day with her. I highly recommend you spend the day with her! And she came by the night before we left to say good-bye. She is attentive and helpful and clearly loves what she does. Don't miss this!!

Charming apartment on edge of town with country view.
The apartment was spacious and functional. Kitchen had all of the modern features with a large refrigerator. Would have been nice to have more than one electrical outlet in the kitchen but it was manageable. Living quarters had a collection of antique furnishing which added to the charm. However, would have been nice to have had some more comfortable seating. The balconies were perfect for late afternoon relaxation and unwinding after a busy day with very nice vistas. The off-street parking was very good for security. The biggest down side was the quality of the mattresses. Would suggest these be upgraded for future guest.

The penthouse was wonderful! Excellent location near train staion, bus depot and shopping.
The Penthouse has a real "homey" feel to it. All you need for a comfortable stay. The large balcony with a beautiful view was a great cocktail lounge. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, bowls and lots of dishes. The extra large refrigerator had lots of space for all the groceries and wine, too. All the amenities of home. The owner was very gracious and helpful with special requests. We highly recommend this lovely property. We enjoyed it VERY MUCH!
