Il Boschetto an oasis of peace and nature in Siena

We had an amazing stay! This place exceeded our expectations! We had everything we needed and the host is very good at communicating. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

If I could give this property 100 stars, I would! We had such a fabulous time on this trip. The house is so picturesque and feels like stepping into a dream. The grounds are meticulously maintained, the home was tidy and we were greeted by the kindest man upon arrival. Our kids spent their time wandering through the olive trees, playing endless ping pong tournaments and braving the colder weather and jumping in the pool. My husband and I enjoyed drinking espresso by the fireplace, watching the sunset over the Tuscan valley every night and wine tasting in the gardens. If we could live in this house, we would! We cannot wait to come back and, hopefully, spend an entire summer. Hosts: Incredibly responsive and helpful. They even contacted the bus station and local police on our behalf when our son's backpack was left on the bus. Transportation: As a family of six, the only change I would have made was to rent a car. The bus was very close and convenient, but with only speaking a "little" Italian and trying to navigate the bus schedule and apps, we spent many frustrating moments stuck without transportation. If you are traveling with older children or solo, the bus system is amazing, but takes patience to learn and understand. Our children are ages 4-10, so a car rental would have been a bit more convenient. Location: Siena is amazing and we felt very safe. The house is about a 10 minute bus ride from town. You can find a grocery store at the main city stop.

We stayed for the month of September and feel it was just what we expected from the reviews and price. Everything was a bit "tired" and needed some maintenance, but there is lots of room and we enjoyed the authenticity of the experience. The pool was great and we enjoyed the outdoor space. We had hoped to rent bikes and/or walk into town, but the roads around the villa are much too narrow. The bus is easy and the stop is just across the road, but the last bus from town is around 8:30 so not workable for dinner. You will need a rental car and the drive to closest Siena parking was only 8 minutes.

At this beautiful property just outside Siena, we truly enjoyed all the amenities offered. The infinity pool after a hot day of sightseeing was amazing as was the sunset each evening. Francesca and Gino were wonderful hosts. We enjoyed a fun evening creating special pizzas with Chef Gino. Perfecto !! Francesca looked after all our needs . We would definitely recommend this place to anyone for a relaxing and fun vacation. -R&J Sept 2018
