Galileo

4 ^/5 Very Good   Villa Review Rating Details

Nice place and good value for money accommodation. The cooking course was really good and useful.
Restaurant nearby in Orgia is also worth to visit - great local place and meal.

5 ^/5 Excellent   Villa Review Rating Details

We stay in the Galileo unit and the unit was as magnificent as the pictures. Very modern and brand new. There were two bedrooms, one of the bedrooms had a man-made chimney which causes the room to be cold at night. However, there was a central heater to warm up the place. There was a back and front yard which were pleasant at night but can get very hot during the day (we were there in early June). The property is located in a quiet area in Brenna that is friendly to cyclist and runners; bikes are available at the property for no charge. Brenna is approximately 15 minutes from Sienna, one hour from Florence and 2 hours from Pisa; very convenient for day trips. There are two huge supermarkets (Penny, forgot the other name) in Sienna for shopping that are open late There is also a restaurant right across the property, just in case you don't want to cook. Linens and towels are provided and there is a washing machine for cleaning. The person who looks after the house is conveniently located a few blocks away from the place. Although she speaks very little english, she is extremely friendly and made our stay very comfortable. The one drawback for me was the bugs/critters. I did expect mosquitoes and flies since it felt to me like being in the country, but I was surprise to see scorpions. We made them part of our adventure and learn a bit about them. Truly recommend this place and would definitely stay there again my next time in Italy.
