Siena House

Our stay at the Siena House in Tuscany was so perfect, it’s almost difficult to describe. But I’ll do my best…
The Grounds
The house itself is amazing. It’s airy, extremely well decorated, peaceful, and a mix of modern and rustic. The surrounding yard, summer kitchen, garden, terrace, pool, and outdoor furniture is all so tasteful and inviting. The pictures on the website tell a good story, but it’s obviously even better in person.
The Owners
From the very moment we showed up, Malvin & Amanda were so unbelievably welcoming and personable. We felt comfortable right away. All the 5 star reviews and great ratings on TripAdvisor are not a coincidence as we felt like we mattered so much every moment of our 3 night stay. From restaurant recommendations, to being greeted with a bottle of prosecco and even allowed to borrow their GPS for our entire stay, this was hand-​holding at it’s best. But they also made sure to give us a ton of space so we felt a sense of privacy the entire time.
The Breakfasts!
Each morning offered a new take on a delicious (and luxurious) breakfast with a very generous amount of food. The fresh, local and seasonal ingredients combined with Malvin’s exceptional skills in the kitchen made these breakfasts a huge highlight of the stay. Quite possibly the 3 best breakfast’s I’ve ever eaten in my life. And he took beverage requests and would whip up an espresso, cappuccino or tea to pair in a jiffy (often offering seconds)
The Location
The location was ideal. The house itself felt very tucked away in the country and was very peaceful. It was also just 5 – 10 minutes from the A1 freeway so that traveling by car on day trips to further away towns was convenient. Or you could take the country roads to some of the closer Tuscan villages. All in all, we went to around 7 towns in just 3 days and still felt like we spent a good amount of time at the house itself.
The X Factor (s)
Quite simply, the generous balance of feeling pampered in Tuscan luxury but also having very approachable hosts who made you feel like their home was yours. Plus, having only 4 guest suites in the property keeps things very quiet and allows them to keep offering the personal touches that make the stay so rewarding.
Based on the way we were treated, the wonderful food and how beautiful the house and surroundings were, we would never choose any other place, should we go back to Tuscany in the future. 5 stars all the way!
