Apartment with large veranda and terrace with breathtaking views of Siena

area Centro - Contrada Civetta - Siena ( Siena)

Gorgeous attic with two terraces and amazing view.

Prestigious and charming apartment in the historic center of Siena, on the top floor of the ancient Bichi Borghesi Palace that has belonged to the owners for generations, just steps from the world knows square "Piazza Il Campo".

Over the centuries the Palace has undergone several restorations, and this apartment in particular has been created in the attic of the building that has been transformed into an original and comfortable home. The real highlight of the apartment is the veranda, a large and bright space right at the top of the house. At the end of the '800 the veranda was conceived and built by the owner's ancestors as a photo studio, that made the most of the extraordinary natural light. The veranda has access to two terraces, and both the varanda and the two terraces boast a magnificent view of Siena that literally surround the viewr; from here you see the Palazzo Pubblico and Torre del Mangia, the Cathedral, the big church San Domenico and the hills of the Val d'Orcia all the way to the mountain Monte Amiata.
Despite being in the heart of the center, the house is rather silent.

The apartment comprises: 2 bedrooms (1 double and 1 twin) with two bathrooms. A fully equipped kitchenette, a comfrotable dining area, and the unique living room located within the veranda from which you access the two terraces.

The apartment is on three levels and is perfectly furnished with antique furniture belonging to the family.

Given the layout of the property and the presence of stairs, we recommend the choice of this apartment for adult guests.

First level: double bedroom (bed 160x190 cm), twin bedded room (each single bed measures 100x190 cm), two bathrooms, one with a Jacuzzi and the other with a shower. These private quarters have a wooden flooring.

Mezzanine: the floor is in antique Tuscan terracotta with finishes in Iroko wood. The small, perfectly equipped kitchen opens onto a double height dining area with ceilings characterized by impressive beams and bricks.

Third level: a staircase leads to the veranda, a spectacular room of 20 sqm with inner heights that reaches 6 meters.
On the walls there are portraits of the owner's ancestors and from every window the view is so amazing it's like a painting.

There is a lift in the building, but you still have to consider many stairs to be able to enjoy this apartment during your vacation.
