A Tuscan Jem

Bryan Melbourne Melbourne, Australia
Review Submitted: October 18, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We stayed for a week in this wonderful apartment in September 2009. It is situated just inside the ancient town walls in a quiet street but just two minutes from the heart of town and shops and restaurants. The apartment is comfortable, spacious and beautifully decorated with pastel colours and paintings that reflect the Tuscan region. In the kitchen we found everything we needed for cooking and dining and so we made the most of the wide range of local produce. Buonconvento is a lovely medieval town off the usual tourist trail. For us it was an ideal base for exploring the art and architectural delights of Siena and the towns of the Val d’Arbia.

Do not pass up the oppotunity to stay in this beautiful apartment in this gorgeous town in a stunning part of Italy. Comfortable, quiet and sunny it was more than we could hope for. Local restaurant Da Mario is great and fab pasrty and meat shops nearby, with great market on Saturday. Very close for touring to the best small hill towns in the region.We LOVED it- thank you so much,
