What a treat to stay at this charming family home right outside the walls of historic medieval Siena, Just a five minute walk away from the Porta Romano entrance into the walled city. Villa Santa Chiara was perfect in every way. Anna, Mario and Claudia were the most welcoming hosts and the property was breathtakingly beautiful. I highly recommend to anyone planning a Tuscany vacation.

Perfect spot for a trip to Siena with friends. The hosts were helpful and available for questions. Easy walk to the city, but away from the hustle and bustle. Small grocery/deli close by. Highly recommend!

Anna and Mario wer fabulous. The accomodations and the grounds wer fabulous. For a stay in Siena you can't beat this setting. It is abut a 15 minute walk of the hill to get to center city, but the apartment and grounds ae well worth it.

Anna and Mario were terrific hosts! The location could not have been better for our trip to the Siena region. Their recommendations were top notch and the accommodations were wonderful. Our time spent was too short.

Gorgeous property so close to Siena City Center
We had a fabulous stay at Villa Santa Chiara! The apartment was spacious, well stocked with everything we needed with gorgeous views of the Tuscan countryside. We had a tour of the property, including the chapel, before we settled in and it’s stunning. The owner grew up on the property and it has been in her family for 300 hundred years, so her knowledge of the area is extensive. She was able to help us get dinner reservations in Siena as well as recommend sights. We can’t wait to come back to this incredible city!

Villa Santa Chiara appt 4 review
The apartment is very near Porta Roma, definitely within walking distance of the historic Siena center. It has a lovely large living space, adequate kitchen and good beds (one king and 2 twins). Also, 2 full bathrooms. All were clean and ready for our arrival. Definitely recommended. One thing to know in advance, it is a second story appt (one flight of stairs to reach it), and a few stairs to reach one of the bedrooms.

Beautiful apartment
Fantastic location for our few days in Siena. The apartment was great and just as described, well looked after and very clean. We enjoyed the gardens and pool. The location was perfect for walking into Siena for evenings out and exploring the city.

Beautiful property and location
The property is beautiful but the host’s responsiveness could have been better. The communication break down started after we settled in. We would not get a response for our questions about the heating system. Even when the internet stopped working on the third night of our 4 night stay, there was no acknowledgement of the issue unless we happened to see her outside the house. She seems to be only interested in selling the winery tour for her family wine business and selling the family olive oil. The refrigerator was running too cold and broke a water bottle in the process of freezing it. No acknowledgement from the host of the malfunctioning appliance, only that of the broken bottle.
Aside from these snafus, we love the property. It’s a lovely home in a breathtakingly beautiful setting. The Brunello winery tour is highly recommended.

Love Siena!
Claudia was so responsive with our questions and helpful with suggestions. The location was awesome with a short walk to the city center, which you do not want to drive into. There was a bottega just down the road that had basics needs and decent food options. Siena was so much more manageable than Florence, relaxed and felt like you were with only locals in the evening.
We would definitely stay there again.

Beautiful Home Walking Distance to Siena
I stayed in this beautiful villa with my children (ages 14 and 10); we all LOVED it!!! We swam in the wonderful pool every morning and late afternoon. We would walk to Siena and explore the town during the days and evenings. We also used this as a base to explore the many hill towns of Tuscany. Villa Santa Chiara was clean and beautiful with everything we needed for our stay. The hosts, Anna and Claudia, were warm and welcoming, answering all of our questions. We bought some of their delicious olive oil to bring back home with us. I highly recommend Villa Santa Chiara for a place to stay in Tuscany!!!

Wonderful apartment and gardens for a family stay
We loved our stay at Villa Santa Chiara 6. The apartment was lovely and much nicer than the pictures can show. The gardens are lovely, the views spectacular and the pool was a great way to relax after long travels. We shopped and ate at the market nearby and walked into Sienna several times. The villa are s conveniently located right below the city walls. We wish we would have had more days in our trip to enjoy the property. We hope to return for a longer visit. Fabulous Siena location with teens. Anna was a very welcoming host and helped us book a great cooking lesson at the local school and recommended the city tourism walking tour, which was perfect, 2 hrs and on 8 people on the small group tour. Definitely stay here if you can.

A wonderful family run property. Perfect location to walk to Siena.
Wonderful location, Claudia was so accommodating and grounds were beautiful. We stayed with another couple and it was a great place to reconnect and relax. Claudia also gave us a private tour of Siena. She was knowledgeable and very personable. We enjoyed everything about our stay.

Beautiful views and really spacious
There were 4 of us staying in this apartment and it was perfect. 2 twin beds and 1 queen bed. AC only in the bedrooms, other rooms were hot and no fan was provided. WiFi was spotty. We used the kitchen once to make pasta and there wasn't a ton of kitchen supplies but enough to get by. No dish soap though so all the dishes we washed were just with hot water. There was no soap in the bathrooms either so we had to use the shampoo or body wash that we had with us.
The pool was fantastic, turned my swimsuit green, but other than that it was really nice.
There was a small grocery store about 2 min walk away so that was really nice.
The walk to town was about a 10-15 min walk but up a steep hill so not ideal to walk to town if you have a disability. Good news is the taxi system works decently well. Probably would've been easier if we spoke Italian but 30 minutes later we were able to get a taxi. (Sundays are busy for the taxi company)
This is a great choice if you have no car and want to walk to vibrant Siena.

Truly a gem of a location and a great somewhat private location offering easy access to Siena
We will return to this VRBO in the future. The location is simply fantastic. Just a 10 minute walk to a gate of Siena and a perfect location to launch day trips to surrounding towns. The hosts were lovely and the accommodations perfect for our needs (it was just 2 of us). Convenient walk to grocers in Siena and rarely was the pool area occupied by more than 2 couples at a time. The kitchen had basics for our needs, refrigerator/freezer, gas cook top with 4 burners, oven, dishwasher. The parking was convenient and the drive was gated, keeping a sense of peace and security. One of the owners is a licensed guide, though we did not use this option. Take pool/beach towels with you as they are not provided and regular bath towels are not really suitable for the pool. This is a quiet place with no distractions from other guests. The views are exceptional from the hilltop on which the property sits. The upper bedrooms can get a bit warm but air conditioners are installed and work well, so no worries there. Really just a charming place. See you folks again...the Cannons, USA

A beautiful place on the outskirts of Siena
A fantastic apartment for 4. It suited us and our needs perfectly. Parking for the car, rooms for us and the children and two bathroooms/showers, as well as a separate dining room and kitchen. Perfect!
The pool was lovely, with great views across the valley.
The location, 15 minutes walk from Il Campo was great. Walking up the hill to Porta Roma was a good way of staying fit!
The shop/cafe/bar 100m away at the end of the street was a treat and I loved my morning espresso from there.
We would happily stay there again. Really enjoyed it and lovely Siena.

Peaceful and nice landscape
Nice place to stay. Beautiful landscape, peaceful place and garden, very close to Siena piazza del campo. Nice pool, not used because we didn't have time. We spent 3 nights in the apartment 6. It was all clean and cozy. They provided us bread, salami and wine as a welcome gift. All kitchen equipments that we neede was available. Good shower and nice bed to sleep. I recommend it.

Siena Gem
This Villa is perfectly place outside the wall of Siena. Just a quick walk to all the historic beautiful buildings, restaurants and all the sites. The hosts Claudia and Anna are there to recommend and accommodate all your needs for a pleasant holiday. One evening they arranged for us to have two chefs, who came to our villa/apartment. These chefs were so much fun, they gave us a fabulous hands on cooking class. We made pasta and other dishes from scratch. So delicious and one of our highlights of our stay.
The grounds are beautiful, comfortable, a safe and secure gated property. It also is very centrally located to explore the Tuscany region. I highly recommend this villa, you will complete your vacation with great accommodations and true Italian flare.

Great house in a wonderful location
We stayed nine days in July in this house. It is very nice and comfortable. Walking distance to Siena, and at the same time very calm (apart maybe from some barking dogs in the distance some time). Claudia is a great host. We enjoyed her guided tour (which is included in the "package") of Siena. When things got a bit to hot, the kids (and the parents) were enjoying the pool. We were able to do some star gazing in the evening as well.
All in all, a highly recommended place to stay, to enjoy beautiful Siena and the surrounding area.
Thanks Claudia!

So nah und doch so fern....
Schon vor der Anreise war die Kommunikation sehr gut. Bei der Ankunft fühlten wir uns willkommen und die Wohnung präsentierte sich in einem ordentlichen und sauberen Zustand. Sie war sehr geräumig und doch gemütlich, man fühlte sich auf Anhieb wohl. Die Küche ist zwar sehr klein, aber wirklich gut ausgestattet.
Am schönsten waren die Ausblicke aus den Fenstern, besonders morgens, wenn der Nebel noch in den Tälern lag.... wirklich unbeschreiblich.
Das Anwesen liegt wirklich perfekt, einerseits ist es sehr ruhig, andererseits ist man aber in 10 Minuten zu Fuß mitten im Zentrum der traumhaften Stadt.
Wir müssen unbedingt noch einmal wiederkommen, wenn wir den Pool benutzen können...

Une adrese parfaite pour visiter Sienne en famille
Nous avons passé une semaine dans l'appartement 6 avec nos deux enfants.
La propriété est incroyable: un oasis de calme à 15 minutes du Campo.
Nos hôtes, et surtout Claudia, ont été très agréables et nous ont apporté quantité de (bonnes) suggestions pour visiter la ville et les alentours.
Une excellente adresse!

Tuscan experience
Great property, just 15 mins walks to Siena downtown. I spent a week in apartment 3 with my wife and a 14 months baby. This place has a beautiful yard and swimming pool and it is perfect for families. The owner Claudia is a professional historical guide that will help you discover Siena and surroundings.
Thank you very much Claudia for this perfect vacation, we will come back soon!

Perfect house in a beautiful town
This estate is the perfect getaway! It feels like a country retreat but is only a few minutes walk to the beautiful campo. The apartments are very well appointed and spotlessly clean. The owner is lovely and make sure you arrange to bring home some of her home-pressed olive oil- it is amazing! Siena is a like a wonderful dream and staying here makes it a dream come true.

Charming and convenient
This place was even better than what I was hoping for. It's right on the edge of town and an easy walk into Siena. The property was more beautiful than I imagined it would be. The apartment itself was spacious enough for the 5 of us, with one sleeping on a bed in the living room. The bedrooms and bathrooms were really nice. The living room could have been a bit more comfortable but who wants to be inside anyway. The kitchen was adequate and the dining room nice. The only downside, I found, was that the people before us left absolutely nothing in the kitchen so we had to buy all the small things like sugar and salt in order to cook at home, which of course we couldn't finish.
