Great location, pool and Thiago was really helpful. Booking restaurants and giving advice. Was so lucky to be here when the Palio was on, amazing experience and atmosphere. Siena is beautiful and one of the favourite places my family have visited. You can’t go wrong with this villa. Just be prepared to walk up a short steep hill to enter the walled Siena but worth it.

We had a lovely stay here. It is the smaller, quainter guest house on the estate of a beautiful and much bigger house, so some days we heard maintenance work being done on the big house. However, it was so nice to be in walking distance of the center of Siena, and the pool is glorious—big and clean with a killer view. (Note: The pool is a one-minute walk from the house.) We had a problem with the washing machine, but Thiago was very responsive and his father who lives in the big house was very helpful. They can also help book local tours. We so appreciated the air-conditioning, and the generous spread Thiago welcomed us with. Hospitality at its finest. This is a perfect home-base for those looking to spend their days in Siena and neighboring cities/towns.

Loved our 10 days staying here couldn’t fault anything! Amazing location, would love to return.

We had a wonderful one week stay at the villa, right from the booking, Thiago was extremely helpful in answering our questions about the property. Check in was smooth and the villa was extremely clean and well appointed upon arrival. Our family of five enjoyed the swimming pool, tennis court, outdoor terrace with bbq and proximity to great shops and restaurants within Siena’s walls. We would strongly recommend this villa for a family vacation in Tuscany! Ciao!!

This beautiful villa is walking distance from central Siena. Set in its own well kept grounds, it offers 2 pools and a tennis court complete with equipment to play. Inside is incredibly spacious, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The owner was extremely helpful from start to finish and we were met with a fantastic array of food and drink on arrival- just what we needed after a long day of travel. This villa would suit families with children of any age or groups of friends looking to chill and explore. I would not hesitate to return!

I was looking for a place in Siena that could act as a central hub for our adventures in Tuscany. I was attracted to this property because of its location just outside the walls of the city, its attractive location with views of both the city and the countryside, and its privacy. The villa satisfied all these criteria and so much more. Entering into the gates of the estate after a day in town is like entering an oasis. The pool and tennis court are huge pluses. The internet is excellent, which was good because I had to do a little work during the trip. Thiago is extremely responsive and thoughtful. He recommended restaurants that were all excellent, and set us up with a private chef for the night when we arrived (highly recommomended if you are travelling from afar). Staying at La Tortore is a no-brainer if you can get a reservation. We would stay here again in a minute! Thanks to Thiago and his family for an amazing stay!

Beautiful villa with a countryside feel, yet just a 15 min walk to the Del Campo and Siena. We really enjoyed the outside patio and ate several meals there, enjoying the views. We also enjoyed resting and visiting with our friends at the pool. Thiago was very helpful and wonderful to work with. He had suggestions for tours and transfers, which we used and were very pleased with. Note, there is 1 bedroom with 1 large double bed and a 2nd bedroom with 2 twin beds and 1 bathroom w/ a shower upstairs and there is 1 bedroom with a twin bed downstairs. There is also 1 small bathroom with a shower downstairs. Thank you so much for a great stay with our friends!

We loved our stay, it was clean and had everything we needed for our 10 day stay. We had 4 adults in our group and the bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice, clean and comfortable. Our host Thiago was quick to respond with any questions. We enjoyed the quick walk into Siena and plan to stay here again in the future!

My partner and I had an incredible time at Thiago’s place!! The house is so beautiful and close to town which was great as my partner and I were able to walk into the city center every evening with ease. When we arrived there was a spread waiting for us in the kitchen with cheese, meat, wine etc that was such a wonderful touch to begin our stay there. The house was perfect and my partner and I spent many afternoons out on the patio. From the time of my initial booking Thiago was so helpful in providing recommendations for actives, making dinner reservations for us, etc. The tours that we did which he put us in contact with were the highlights of our trip! I’m addition to all of this Thiago truly helped us when my partner realized he had forgotten his passport (which was very stressful as we were in a whole other part of Italy at this point in our trip) Thiago responded immediately and helped arrange postage of the passport to us. He truly created a 5 star trip for us and we will definitely be coming back in the future!!:)

Fantastic villa which offers the best of two worlds, the vibrant life of beatutiful Siena within a short walk and the tranquillity, view and fresh air of a Tuscan hill rescidence. Don’t get me started on the swimmingpool, we - 2 adults and 2 teenageres - spent hours in and around the large pool playing, relaxing in the sun or enjoying lokal tuscan specialities in the shades of the gazebo. Thiago and his father Andrea was the perfect hosts, helpful in every situation

Fantastic time in the Carriage house of the Villa at the bottom of the hill to Siena! We had a fantastic time and the house is perfect for the 4 of us. The pool has a stunning view of Tuscan countryside yet we were at the doorstep of Siena, just climb the hill to the Roman Portal and you are inside the walls of Siena. Thiago was brillant and helpful, the house is fully equipped. We even got to cheer on Italy for the Euro cup!!! We will be back again!!!

The house is beautiful, very clean, private and fully equipped.The pool is big, clean and with a stunning view. Thiago is a very helpful and friendly host We really enjoyed our stay, and no doubt; we will come back again!

Magical in every way!!!

This property is amazing. Thiago was amazing! We couldn't have picked a better property to stay at for 7 nights. The Villa is very clean, and well stocked with everything you need, including coffee! Thiago greeted us upon arrival and had cheese, bread, fruit, vegetables, wine, pop and chips waiting for us. We are so grateful for his kindness. The pool is beautiful and serene. Thank you Thiago for being such a wonderful host!!

Our family of four (two adults, two teenage daughters) have recently returned from a happy and hot August week staying at Le Tortore on the edge of stunning Siena. After the two hour drive from Pisa airport, we were warmly welcomed by Andrea, Thiago's father, with gifts of tomatoes, cucumbers and aubergines from his vegetable garden as well as a delicious spread of other local treats to get our holiday off to a flying start! The villa is set on the family's estate, surrounded by olive groves and cypress pine trees, but within 15 minutes walk of the bustling heart of Siena. Inside, the rooms are attractively furnished with antique pieces, and the efficient modern air con in the two bedrooms was much appreciated as the temperature never dropped below 30 degrees all week. The kitchen is well appointed with everything needed for cooking and we all enjoyed sitting outside for meals on the shady terrace area. And what an incredible view from the bathroom! However, it is the stunning private swimming pool that made the holiday for us, with its sweeping views across the Tuscan countryside to the south. Using Le Tortore as a base, we thoroughly enjoyed walking into Siena, climbing Le Torre Mangia, marvelling at the richly decorated Duomo and exploring the mysterious shaded streets, hung with flags following the second Palio horserace which had taken place just before we arrived. Make sure you try the ice creams - huge, rich and delicious! Thiago also recommended a meal at La Taverna di San Giuseppe and we saved this treat for our last night - the food and atmosphere were truly fabulous, so make sure you book! We also drove to Florence on two occasions, using the new park and ride at La Costanza on the motorway. The large car park is linked to the city centre by a modern tram service which stops at the central station, just a few minutes walk from all the main sights. We booked in advance to climb Brunelleschi's Duomo dome - an amazing experience and worth the queue - and also to see Michelangelo's statue of David at the Accademia, but beware - the sheer numbers of tourists and the intense summer heat are pretty overpowering ! In the end, the highlight of every day of our week was escaping the crowds and returning to the peace, quiet and beauty of Le Tortore and swimming in the lovely pool. Thank you Thiago and Andrea for our wonderful Sienese holiday - we feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to stay in your beautiful "home from home".

Our best holiday ever. The villa, the pool, the tennis court, the facilities, the location, the family who deal with you, the communications and the surroundings are all amazing and perfect. We could not have been happier with it all. All the positive comments in all the other reviews ring true. Many thanks Andrea and Thiago!

We spent 2 weeks here with three teenage boys. The villa is great, the swimming pool fantastic - and the tennis court was well used by the lads. You are a short walk to the centre or Siena and Andrea and Thiago were simply amazing hosts - nothing was too much trouble from booking good local restaurants to arrange supermarket shops for us. Would highly recommmend.

We stayed for a week during the July Palio. Andrea was a gracious host, welcoming us with fresh fruits, wine and other staples upon our arrival. During our stay he offered us fresh cucumbers and plums from his garden. I was expecting a fairly long trek to the gates and walls of Siena and was pleasantly surprised by the proximity. Wonderful little grocery not far away. The pool was so clean and refreshing and very private. Lovely property full of Tuscan charm. We would stay again in a heartbeat!

The only problem we have, is that we are only allowed to rate this property with 5 stars...it is above and beyond!! There is absolutely nothing that could be improved. Thiago was wonderfully communicative: every question answered, every response to our inquiries within hours. The property itself is beyond words. It is absolutely spectacular. We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 grown children) with plenty of room for everyone. We were greeted with a beautiful array of food and wine, the house was impeccable, the grounds so incredibly beautiful, the location perfect (a 5 minute walk to a botega, 15 minute walk to the center of the Piazza il Campo)...there wasn’t a detail overlooked. Thiago arranged for a day-long wine tour for us that was out-of-this-world (Gianmarco, our driver, was the loveliest man). We literally cannot say enough about this stunning property. It has been pure perfection. One downside...we have to leave. BUT, we will be back!! Grazie Mille, Thiago!!

The property was beautifully clean and we were greeted by a lovely array of local foods to welcome us upon arrival which was a very thoughtful touch. We were shown around the property by the owner who was extremely helpful and very kind. The property is situated in a truly unique location within walking distance of a well-stocked supermarket. The pool is a delight although very deep at one end so be careful with children. The pool is a few minutes walk from the villa but part of the main grounds. The children really liked the remote control gates at the entrance to the property. I would recommend this property without hesitation and would like to thank the owners for their warmth of welcome and helpfulness.

The Villa is lovely and despite the weather we made good use of the pool which is excellent. The Villa is part of a private estate and is well set back from a road - so nice and quiet but close enough to the city gates of Siena that you can walk. Although we didn’t request it we were provided food and drink on arrival and our host took time to show us around and make us feel really welcome.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Le Tortore. The Villa is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Thiago, our host, was helpful and welcoming. We used this home as a home base for our tour of Tuscany. We spent time in Siena, Pisa, Florence, San Gimigiano, and visited local wineries including the highlight Verrazzano. There is not a lot within walking distance but we very much enjoyed the local Bottega (a few minute walk) for morning coffee, groceries and take-out food. We were there too early to enjoy the pool and grounds but it is all lovely. The family chapel adjacent to the home is open for use and is very interesting. The only thing that stopped this from being a 5-star experience was insufficient towels, no kitchen towel/cloth,or toilet paper. This may have been because we were there early in the year. We would stay here again and would recommend it.

Very nice place, close to the center of Siena.

My husband and I stayed in Le Tortore and could not have been happier. The house is pristine and very well stocked. The Master bed was very comfortable (it was just the two of us, so we did not use the second room. But would imagine it is just as comfortable). The views from the home are like something in a movie. The grounds of the property are beautiful and the pool is to die for. We were greeted by Thiago at check in with a lovely welcome gift of cheeses, meats and breads. He checked in regularly to make sure that we had all that we needed. I did not want to leave this place. Siena is wonderful and the villa is just icing on the cake. I would very highly recommend this to anyone! Thank you Andrea and Thiago for your hospitality. We loved our time at your place!

My husband, daughter and I have just spent the most delightful week staying at Villa La Tortore in Siena. We were warmly greeted by Thiago and his father Andre. Their welcome gift of a generous spread of cold meats cheese fruit & wine and basic grocery items was a great start to the holiday. The villa is fully furnished and has every comfort to make it feel like a ‘home from home’. On our relaxing days in between busy touring days we enjoyed sitting outside on the patio in the warm sun or around the pool - it was still a bit too cold to swim. We loved the ambience, the beautiful gardens with spring flowers starting to bloom and tranquillity of the property and highly recommend Villa La Tortore. We will be back!! Rosemary, Phil and Kim

We spent 9 nights at the Vill La Totrore. Our host greeted us and spent time giving us directions and advice. It was clean and quiet (there was some construction going on, but we were gone most days and it was not loud power tools or anything). Walk down the drive and 1 short block to the small grocery store, or continue uphill to Siena. We were lucky enough to arrive just before a special Palio, which made the stay special. We say some of the olive harvest on the property. Sadly, the pool was also undergoing repairs, but only one day was warm enough to tempt us anyway. I highly recommend the villa. A great price and a relaxing home away from home.

My friends and I loved our stay at Villa "Le Tortore" during our visit to Siena in Tuscany. When your arrive at the villa there is a gate and a driveway that is lined with cypress trees. The property is gorgeous, clean and well maintained. The pictures of the property are just as they are listed online. We were greeted by the owner, Andrea, upon our arrival who gave us a tour of the house and garden (Andrea, "Thank You" for the tomatoes from your garden). We were surprised and delighted to see the delicious spread of food (cheese, dry salami, fruit, bread, olive oil and wine) that was presented to us in the kitchen! I enjoyed waking up to the gorgeous views from the windows throughout the villa! The location was perfect for day trips to surrounding beautiful towns by car or a 15 min. walk to Siena, bus station and a small supermarket. I would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!
