Overall: We enjoyed a very memorable 9 days at Villa Senese. The property is gorgeous, with an honorable history, fantastic views and accommodations. The owner is very gracious and helpful. Enjoyed Most: Gorgeous property and views. Wonderful owner and staff. On-site winery. Enjoyed Least: Catering cost is separate from the property rental. Surrounding Area: The property is about 5 km from the heart of Siena (if you do not get lost), and about 40 km from San Gimignano. Nearby Events or Locales: Ponte Bozzone is within walking distance. Its two restaurants are fantastic. Check In Out: The directions stated check out at 9 am, and we prepared to leave by then... except the staff hadn't arrived yet. Apparently, it was news to them that the check out was then. On the positive side, the owner wanted us to stay for an extra day without charge. The problem was that many of us had planes to catch.
