Guest Reviews for Fornacino
Fornacino 2
Everything was really nice, but keep in mind that the telephone number provided by the app is not the right one. I communicated with this number and then they gave me the right one. Also, you have to first drive to a different location to get the keys of the apartment and then back to the apartment, and we weren’t informed from the website for this. Regardless, we were excited with the villa, the apartment was big and clean, and the garden with the pool great.

Eine richtig hübsche und gut möblierte, geräumige Wohnung mit zwei Bädern in einer ursprünglichen toskanischen Gebäudestruktur! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, zwischen Rebbergen und Olivenhainen und Wäldern, mit schöner Aussicht über die Hügel und ganz knapp, aber doch sichtbar, die Silhouette der Kulturstadt Siena.
In der Anlage bloss 6 Wohnungen, dafür ein (in einem Teil leider etwas wenig tiefes) Schwimmbad von sympathischer Grösse von 5x15m. Ev sind die Wohnungen etwas ringhörig, gegeneinander nicht besonders gut lärmgeschützt. Da zur Zeit unseres Aufenthaltes bloss 3 der 6 Wohnungen besetzt waren und die Anwesenden alle rücksichtsvoll waren, gab es für uns jedoch keine Geräuschprobleme. Die Küchenausrüstung/Geschirr ist eher knapp, aber es ist so machbar, auch wenn man (wie wir) gerne selber kocht und die Küche wirklich benutzt.
Vor Ort gibt es jedoch keine zusätzlichen Services, auch keine vor Ort sich aufhaltende Betreuungsperson; diese wäre jedoch problemlos übers Handy erreichbar und sowohl freundlich wie verfügbar.
Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt, es hat uns richtig gut gefallen und wir können es ohne Vorbehalte empfehlen.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Nice building with typical tuscany view. Everything according to the discription on the dedicated webside. We were there in August so air conditioning would be helpful. But the real disadvantage were very thin walls between the appartments in one building - we could hear almost every sound of our neighbor.

Als het rustig mag zijn is deze vakantiewoning ideaal, fantastisch. Wij bewoonden borgonero (fornacino 6). Een ruime woning, voor 2 personen, met mooi uitzicht o.a. op Sienna. Heerlijk zwembad, schaduw door het afdak. Bij wind frisser (ben een koukleum;-) )
Voor ons was het super, één van de betere huisjes...
Enkele bemerkingen? De bedden zijn wat harder, als de ene beweegt wordt de andere wakker geschud (medebewoners beaamden dit), 's nachts rond 4 uur geluid vd watersproeiers. Met slaapkamerramen dicht geen hinder en wel stil.
Voor boodschappen even met de auto tot Sienna (warenhuis COOP, PAM). Bij de PAM vanaf 12 uur gratis parkeren, roltrap tot boven voor bezoek aan Sienna, interessant!
Goede restaurantjes (2) in de buurt (met auto). Geen kruidenier of dorpskern in de nabije omgeving.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] If you are looking for a quiet holiday, this property is ideal, fantastic. We stayed in Borgonero (Fornacino 6). A spacious home for 2 people, with a beautiful view of Siena among others. Lovely swimming pool, shaded by the canopy. In the wind even fresher - I'm shivery ;-)
For us it was great, one of the better houses ...
Some remarks? The beds are harder, if one moves, the other may wake up (other renters confirmed this) and at night around four o'clock sound from the water sprinklers but with bedroom windows closed you have no nuisance and silence.
For groceries you can drive to Siena (COOP supermarket, PAM). At the PAM supermarket you can park for free from on noon and take the escalator up to visit the Siena town centre, interesting!
Good restaurants (2) near (by car). No grocery or village in the vicinity.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

The apartment is on the top floor of the big farmhouse. Nicely renovated. The large living area is a bit empty with just two small couches. Unfortenately the is no electric kettle so that means heating water in a pan. In addition to the swimming pool photos there is a shaded area now. There were lots and lots of hornets (probably a nest in the loggia) and gadfly's. That made swimming in the pool a challenge. Two extra pillows would be nice, now there is just a thin pillow per person.
The view is amazing, looking over the hills and seeing Siena.
Location is near Siena and the highway to Florence, Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni and the Chianti region.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Prachtig typisch Italiaans huis. Schitterd uitzicht naar alle kanten. Doodstil. Goed onderhouden mooi zwembad. Voldoende terrasjes, (lig)stoelen, tafels, lichten. Heel schoon en gezellig ingericht. Goede bedden. Een groot voordeel is dat je willekeurige dagen kunt boeken. Hun eigen wijn is niet goedkoop, maar wel verrukkelijk. Een kwartier rijden van Siena en een grote supermarkt in Siena. Die dicht bij een van de roltrappen van Siena ligt.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Magnificent typical Italian house. Stunning view in all directions. Very tranquil. Well maintained swimming pool. Ample terraces, (reclining) chairs, tables, lights. Very clean and cozy. Good beds. A big advantage is that you can book random days. Their own wine is not cheap, but delicious. Fifteen minutes drive from Siena where you will find also a big supermarket which is close to one of the escalators.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Looks just like the pictures. Clean, very spacious and comfortable, gorgeous property. Access to Borgo Scopeto Relais for use of amenities (hotel facilities - pool, spa, wifi, restaurant) was an added bonus we learned about upon our arrival. Very close to Ponte Bozzone for restaurants if you are staying local for the day. The pool was lovely, unfortunately it rained, so we didn't get to take advantage.

The property is in a beautiful but quiet location surrounded by vineyards and spectacular Tuscan scenery. The apartment was spacious and generally cool inside despite the high temperatures outside. The pool area is superb with extensive paving and plenty of sun-loungers.
Our only gripes were minor. The beds are very firm and there is only one thin pillow per person; perhaps the owner could supply more for different sleeping preferences.
The regulations request that the pool is not used after 8pm. After a long hot day slogging round the tourist dens of Siena and Florence an evening swim is exactly what is required!
Overall a lovely family holiday though.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Beautiful apartment in the former, but fully renowated barn.Fully equiped kitchen a large bedroom a dining and a livingroom. 2 large and well equiped bathrooms. Very undisturbed and quiet place in the hills, among olive- and wineyards and a wonderful view to Sienna 10 km away. We really enjoyed it.

Good: Nice house, nice pool and nice reception. Very nice environment (if you like to be in the middle of nowhere).
Not so good: There is no usable shade available outside the house. A few parasols at the pool and a common room with one side open, but that is filled with a table tennis and not really a rest area.
Sprinklers are loud and go off at 3am and 6am. If you happen to be in an apartment where the bedroom sides with the grass you'll likely get no sleep.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Absolutely amazing views from the pool and windows. The apartments are near to Siena which you can see from the pool area. Very quiet and very clean. Would be back there tomorrow if we could. Julie W - Scotland July 2009
