Luxury apartment with pool: dolce vita at 15' on foot from the heart of Siena!
Typical apartment in Tuscan villa, well renovated, for two people, with the possibility of accommodating a third guest in the sofa bed in the living room. The entrance, on the ground floor, leads directly to a large room (with sofa, armchairs, 32 '' TV and fireplace) which also includes a dining area, with table and six chairs. Also on the ground floor, on the left as you enter, there is the kitchen. The furniture includes a small table with two chairs, in wrought iron, which guests can place outside the main entrance and thus make quiet breakfasts or unforgettable dinners with a view of Porta Pispini, in the quiet of Santa Chiara. On the first floor there is a lovely double bedroom with a 17 '' TV and a bathroom. The apartment is equipped with a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, oven, wi-fi, hairdryer. Guests can also use a washing machine available in a common area.
Santa Chiara is an ancient complex, a former convent of 600, carefully restored and consists of a large building that houses three apartments as well as the home of the owner. It is located on the top of a hill just outside Siena (only 15 minutes walk from Piazza del Campo where the famous Palio is run twice a year!). It is accessed through a gate and a tree-lined avenue that flows into a large garden with ample parking facilities and beautiful views of both the city and the hills typical of the Tuscan landscape. It is surrounded by 5 hectares of well-kept countryside, with a large olive grove that produces an excellent extra virgin olive oil. The estate can be turned on foot making a pleasant walk going to rest under a hundred-year-old oak tree. A swimming pool, an indoor car park and a washing machine are included in the price.

Beautiful gardens
This villa in Sienna was lovely. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and the apartment was true Tuscany and plenty of space for 2 couples .
A 20 minute walk took you to restaurants and shopping.
Wineries are close to drive as well.
Enjoyed our visit.

Great Location
The house was wonderful. The A/C in the bedroom was great. It was super convenient to have a washer in the apartment. The location is perfect. The walk into Siena is workable but we usually ended up there at night after our day trips and it was very easy to park. This is a wonderful location to do day trips to all of Tuscany. We will be back for sure! Claudia is extremely helpful with recommendations on food, touring and all things Siena.

Nice property/misleading description
This is a very nice property with an excellent location. The issue we had was that the property was advertised as 2BR while it actually was 1BR for a party of 2. I was traveling with my cousin, necessitating 2 bedrooms. When I learned on the day of check in that it was only 1BR, I was informed quite inflexibly that an additional bedroom would cost an additional €200, required to be paid in cash upon checkin. I do not believe they were trying to deceive us, but rather I was offended and felt pressured by their lack of understanding and inflexibility on the point of their description having been misleading. The overall cost was reasonable for the high quality of the apartment. They just need to work on communication and customer service, in my view.

Excellent hosts!
This accommodation was exactly what we were looking for in Siena post lockdown! An idyllic compound perched on a hillside overlooking the walls of Siena, a very comfortable home and a short walk into town for a little wander and food. And when we wanted to a simple spread, a large supermarket was just 10 mins drive away making self catering a good option as well.
Thank you Anna and Claudia for a comfortable 2-week stay. We look forward to coming back again soon!

Peaceful oasis in Siena...
Santa Chiara was an incredible place to stay while we enjoyed Siena and the Tuscan countryside. It had beautiful grounds where we had various places to enjoy the views of the olive groves and the city. It truly is a peaceful oasis to return to each night. Claudia is a very accommodating host. I would recommend hiring her for a city tour early in your stay. We learned a great deal about the city, its traditions, history and art. It is a great foundation for your visit. We would gladly return to visit again. This is a lovely place to stay and in 15 minutes you are in the city.
The apartment we stayed in was spacious and well equipped. I like to cook and had everything I needed.

Short stay in Siena
A friend and I were in Italy for a wedding in Firenze, so we decided to take a short trip to Siena (3 days). Claudia and Anna were excellent hosts and the villa and surrounding grounds are beyond beautiful. This is the perfect location for someone without a car who wants to experience the countryside yet have walkable access to the city. We lounged at the pool, walked on paths near olive groves, went shopping, ate delicious food, and roamed the gorgeous streets of Siena. The apartment is quite large and newly renovated with views of the countryside and city. I slept with my window open every night and haven’t slept better in years. This was perfect for our ladies trip, and I can’t wait to return with my family. On our last day, we purchased olive oil produced by Claudia’s family. I highly recommend doing so. If you have time, I think Claudia would be a wonderful tour guide. More information is on their website (separate from VRBO), which I wish we knew about in advance of our trip. Enjoy!!

fantastic 2 week stay in Santa Chiara
Anna & Claudia welcomed us into their stunning house. The apartment was recently stylishly refurbished and immaculately clean. We ate out each day on the peaceful and sheltered patio. In the evenings we sat overlooking the medieval walls of Siena watching the sun set. In the day we relaxed by the pool surrounded by olive groves (I recommend the olive oil - it is very special) overlooking the unspoilt Tuscan countryside. Porta Roma is only minutes walk away and another 20 minutes gentle stroll into Il Campo. There is a grocery shop at the bottom of the road with a small delicatessen of local dishes. The supermarket is half way to Il Campo. Anna asked if there was anything I could recommend she changed. Simple answer - No. This is a special place that we will visit again. Thank you so much Anna & Claudia. Steve, Lynne & Holly.

Excellent 1 bed apartment 20 mins walk from the main square
Part of a wider (small) complex, with owners living on site. Photos do NOT do justice to the property. Nice bedroom and newly (and modernly) refurbished bathroom and (small) kitchen. Nice living room space. Outside dining space and separate sitting area with view back to Siena. Just don't arrive own the day of the Palio as everything stops in Siena (including the supermarkets, which are closed).

Amazing place to stay in Siena
This was walking distance from town but also great views and a feel of being in the Tuscan countryside. Hosts were wonderful as they are on site. The apartment itself was wonderful and comfortable. There were gardens/patio areas plus the pool onsite.
We also tried the olive oil that was made on site. Great! Bought 2 bottles!
The host helped us set up a cooking class in our apartment one evening and it was an amazing experience.
We would stay here again and recommend anyone traveling to Siena to stay here.

Amazing apartment and property near Siena Center - a real gem!
We are a family of 3 and had the pleasure and fortune to find this amazing place to stay near Siena. We stayed in early July for 3 nights. We wanted to be close to Siena center and also have a place with a pool - and from the description we saw that this place would be perfect. And we were not disappointed.
We drove in from Firenze via San Giminiano (worth a visit for sure!) and as we approached our destination, we could not believe it would be so perfectly located. The property is magnificent with a super view of the city of Siena on one side and rolling hills on the other side. We were greeted by Claudia, who was an fantastic host, very very friendly and ready to help us with anything we needed. She brought us some nice bread with fresh olive oil, home made from the olive trees that grow on the property. Delicious!
She showed us around the property and explained the history of the house and her ancestors - it was very nice to get that background!
The apartment was super - we had apartment 2, located in the villa where also Claudia and Anna (her mom) live. The place was immaculate and very spacious, it has two floors, with a bedroom and bathroom upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs. The living room is so big that you can just leave the sofa bed unfolded, very convenient. Our son loved the bed and so did we.
The pool area is gorgeous and the views from the pool deck are amazing as well. I did my laps daily, a nice size pool, well maintained and perfect temperature.
They also have private parking on site.
As described - the walk to Siena Center (Campo) is only 15 minutes, and the grocery store is literally down the street. Claudia recommended several restaurants to us and we were not disappointed. In the apartment itself is plenty of information about Tuscany, restaurants around and things to do.
We really loved Claudia, she was so nice an friendly, a super host. We also saw Anna, her mom, several times on the property and she was very friendly and hospitable as well.
We had an amazing stay here and would like to thank Claudia and Anna for opening their house to us and making it a super time for us. Thank you and we will definitely stay here again when we return to Siena.
Love from the 3 of us!

Santa Chiara provides a wonderfully unique way to experience the Hilltown of all Hilltowns. This beautifully restored rustic property combines, with its close proximity, the energy of a stay within the walls and the character of the Italian countryside. I would recommend this property to both families and anyone who prioritizes authenticity over luxury. Our stay was comfortable and made all the more enjoyable by Claudia’s support and recommendations, along the way. The pool gave us refuge from the heat between our short walks into the town to explore, while the west-facing view from the property’s green space back over the town at dusk could put Kodak back in buisness. Brunello sunsets at Santa Chiara have left a stain of the most positive varietal in my mind. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to return some day. Pete

Beautiful villa outside the city walls
We had three great nights in Siena. The villa is private and walking distance to the city walls. It was clean and the pool was a great bonus. We enjoyed our morning coffee outside. One issue is that the listing says air conditioning and it does not have AC. That said, we didn't really need it. Not sure how August would be but we did fine with the windows open in the evening. The grounds were well kept. The kitchen is tiny and not very well equipped so if you want to really cook a meal, it might be difficult. Beds were very comfortable! Claudia was helpful in getting us a ride to the train station on our check out day. Anna, the owner, lives in the other villa. She checked us in. Overall our stay was great!

Adorable but Spacious Apartment with Beautiful Grounds
My husband and I stayed in Villa Santa Chiara for 3 night during our recent trip to Italy. The apartment had everything you could need and was so spacious for the 2 of us. The villa is just a 15 minute walk to the Il Campo and has a grocery store near by which was perfect for getting some wine and meat and cheese to sit on the beautiful lawns and take in the views. Unfortunately, the pool wasn't open when we were there but I'm sure it would have only made it more amazing. Claudia and hosts were so responsive to all my questions prior to arriving and recommended a great tour company for a wine tour. Claudia gave us all the information we needed to see all the sights in Siena as soon as we arrived and was very helpful. Beautiful property with great hosts, I would highly recommend.
