Siena Cathedral, or the Metropolitan Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption, is a 13th century church in Siena, Tuscany. As it houses works by Donatello, Bernini, Michelangelo and Cimabue (among others) and is one of the main sights in the city, chances are that it is already on many itineraries of visitors to the city. However, if you have found a luxury villa in Siena and are making the trip there this summer, there is even more reason to visit the Cathedral.

Guest Reviews for Casa Francesca
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour dans cette maison de village sur 3 niveaux avec une place de parking bien commode, bien équipée et agréable à vivre. Loin de l'affluence touristique à seulement 13 km de Sienne.
Prévoir d'y arriver de jour arriver car située dans une ruelle un peu difficile à trouver de nuit.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this three-story village house with its convenient parking space, excellent amenities, and comfortable atmosphere. It's far from the tourist crowds and only 13 km from Siena.
Be sure to arrive during the day as it's located on a narrow street that can be a little difficult to find at night.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Een compleet huis voor de prijs van een hotelkamer in de heuvels van Toscane. Douches zijn te klein en douchekoppen passen niet. Bedden zijn lage kwaliteit en wifi was aanwezig maar gaf geen respons. Maar als je voor rust en uitzicht komt, heerlijk! Siena is half uur verwijderd, en alle touristische lokaties zoals Florence, de thermale baden of de leuke kustdorpjes zijn alemaal een uur van dit centrale punt.
