Home truths
The home is set in the idyllic Crete Senesi hills, just 5km from Siena, so we would recommend a car for getting around. There is a free parking space in front of the house.
The interior living spaces are located on the first floor, so it may not be ideal for those with limited mobility.
The swimming pool is fenced – great for peace of mind if you're travelling with little ones. Please note, it is only open from May to September.

One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay.
