Alla Scala 1746

We all enjoyed our stay. The apartments were beautifully decorated. 🤣We enjoyed the restaurants and the friendly people we met. Tomorrow we fly back to Canada. 🇨🇦 Grazie mille!

Siena was quite a unique city. For us seniors it was a bit of a challenge walking the streets. We all wished we were 20 years younger.

Location, interior/design

Middle od Maj, it was cold in the room, even when warm outside, with no possibility to warm-up the room

The location within the city walls made it very easy to walk around the main attractions. Although there was no one to greet us when we arrived in the afternoon, the host got us through the process by phone. We met Camilla (the co-host) twice in the mornings of our two-night stay and she was very friendly and informative about Siena's traditions (we can speak Italian).

The noise from the street, though not within the control of the hosts, can be annoying sometimes, especially early morning. It takes a while to get hot water, which seems to be an issue with all accommodations in historic buildings. The water pressure is not very strong, but not too bad. Just to clarify, the accommodation is a sub-divided (into rooms) apartment, part of a historic building. The room could have had better heating, especially in the bathroom. Also, the windows lacked a proper curtain to block light, especially for the morning when we wanted to sleep in.

The room, the location and the attention of the host were excellent. They really exceeded our expectations!
