Emilia's Home - the largest terrace in the historic center of Siena

Lovely apartment and beautiful terrace and view. Just gorgeous, my favourite place so far this trip.

The apartment location was excellant. There are two markets just minutes away as well as several restaurants and a gelato/pastry/coffee shop just below the apartment. Everything in the town was in walking distance. The apartment is a good solution for couples traveling together who need their own bedroom and bathroom. The only hiccup was the check-in. After waiting for almost an hour I had to call the host who actually sent someone else to check us in. Not sure what was going on but the fill in was courteous. Limited essentials. We ended up having to buy our own TP since they only provided one roll for the entire week stay.

Great property. Perfect location for all of the sites in Siena. Centrally located. Great balcony.

My sister and I stayed for 10 days and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The location was central to everything with a taxi stand right out front. A fully stocked grocery was directly below along with an outstanding pizza restaurant, gelato shop and another restaurant on the square. Inside, the rooms were comfortable and well appointed. We did cook several times and found everything we needed. The balcony was lovely for people watching down below, listening to the church bells and watching sunsets over the beautiful hills. Our hosts, Christina and Luigi, responded immediately with answers to our questions even days after we checked in. I highly recommend this flat.

Spacious apartment, very well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and nice bedrooms. Huge terrace with view of church tower and plaza below. 7 minute walk to Duomo and other attractions. Great supermarket below the apartment around the corner and coffee shops and restaurants. Good working heat and cooling system. Bus terminal one block away.

Yes, we rented this place because we were going to be staying in Europe for a month and had a lot of heavy luggage and needed an elevator. We were informed on arrival that the elevator was not available for rental guests. My husband had an injured shoulder and was not able to lift heavy luggage. We met with the manager of the apartments since Siena Rentals manages a number of places. They said they would come back when we left upon check out to help us down with the luggage, but despite the fact that I texted twice the day of our check out to remind them they were not there on time and we had to leave. The other negative thing was the lady who checked us in spent about two minutes with us and wanted nothing more than to get out the door so we weren’t even given basic information about the property like Wi-Fi codes and garbage instructions. We found the showers in very poor condition with the door not opening and closing properly since it was jammed and they were really too tiny to have a proper shower and unappealing dirty and grungy. The apartment was smaller than it appeared in the advertisement, and you really would have a difficult time cooking there. The apartment also looked as if it needed a good cleaning. The beds were uncomfortable and too soft. I could go on and on. The only positive thing was that it was a central location and they did leave plenty of towels. Also , the kitchen did seem well supplied with equipment, despite the fact that it was very tiny.

I would rate this property as “ok.” It is in a good location near restaurants, bars and the Conad grocery. Overall our stay was alright except for: - the showers did not drain properly. The manager sent some one over to check this but didn’t solve the issue. - kitchen did not feature a coffee maker, just two tiny moka pots - the sink in one bath was totally clogged, this was fixed. - the only electrical plug in the same bath did not work. Reported but was not fixed. - the outdoor furniture on the terrace was tattered and in sore need of replacement. In short, we didn’t feel like the property measured up to the money spent for it.

The location was great for touring but there is a late night bar/restaurant below the master bedroom. This made for lots of noise well into the night. The second bathroom shower did not drain well and the fan didn’t work. I did message about these two bathroom things but have yet to hear back. The patio area was lovely but of course very hot in the summer. The washing machine was for sure apartment size and would wash only a 4-5 items at a time. No big deal as they dried very quickly on the patio. Our biggest concern is that someone in the building was engaging the second lock on the exit from the building. This was done with a key so you needed a key to get out of the building. Not safe if there was ever a fire or you were leaving at the end of your stay and had left the keys in the apartment already.

We are a family of three and thoroughly enjoyed our three night stay in July of 2023. The apartment is very roomy with excellent air conditioning and the beds are comfortable. Our Nespresso machine didn’t work when we got there and after I mentioned it we had a new working one sitting there when we got back from our exploring a few hours later. There was some renovations being done on the aperment below us but other than that the place is very quiet and secure. It’s a great location and only a few minutes walk away from the main square of the city. There is a massive rooftop patio all to yourself and we enjoyed glasses of wine in the evening after dinner. Really only very good things to say about this place and I highly recommend it. It is close to a major outdoor arena which you can see clearly from the patio but there was no events held while we were staying there.

One of our favorite places we stayed while in Italy! Very easy to walk to all the main areas of the city. The terrace was wonderful and unique—we didn’t see anything else like it in the city. The apartment itself is beautifully decorated and had everything our family of 4 needed.

Beautiful apartment, all the amenities of a nicely stocked kitchen,, comfortable beds and bonus of a beautiful outdoor terrace with lovely views of the sunset and Sienna. We enjoyed our 3nights stay very much. Only challenge we found was the apartment is very close to the sports stadium, and every night there was a game, with very loud fans. Difficult sleeping until after midnight each night, even with ear plugs. Would highly recommend this apartment. Just be aware, if not attending the sporting events, may be a bit noisy at night.
