AGRITURISMO LA TERRAZZA SUL MANGIA, Siena

Agriturismo La Terrazza Sul Mangia is located 5 km from Piazza del Campo and the National Picture Gallery, offering a convenient base for visiting Siena while being surrounded by lush olive groves and vineyards. Florence Airport is 80 km away. The property sits on the edge of a suburban area but feels rural, thanks to sweeping views of the Tuscan hills in one direction and Siena's historic skyline in the other. A car is essential for getting around: the drive to Siena's historic centre takes about 5-10 minutes, and parking in front of the apartment is free and always available. For those without a car, a paid shuttle service to the town centre operates, including evening and night transfers; the nearest bus stop is also within walking distance. The area is quiet and well-positioned for day trips to Montepulciano, Val d'Orcia, and other Tuscan highlights.

The property offers two types of spacious apartments: a one-bedroom unit with a separate living room, and a two-bedroom unit with two separate bedrooms and a living room. All are ground-floor apartments with private entrances. Each features a fully equipped kitchen including a stovetop, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, and kitchenware, plus a washing machine and dryer - ideal for self-catering. The living areas are comfortable and elegantly furnished, with flat-screen TVs, soundproof walls, and air conditioning in all rooms. The large private bathroom includes a spacious shower, free toiletries, and trouser press. Outdoor space varies by unit - a private terrace or patio with garden furniture, some with garden and countryside views, perfect for morning coffee or sunset. Beds are new and comfortable, and the apartments are spotlessly clean. The property is quiet and well-maintained, making it suitable for couples, families, and business travellers. All apartments are non-smoking and wheelchair accessible.

The optional breakfast (€15 per person) is a standout feature, offering a rich buffet with continental, Italian, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and American options. Ingredients include high-quality local products such as Tuscan cheese, ham, honey from the property's own bees, homemade cakes, and jams - widely appreciated for their freshness and taste. Breakfast can be served on the terrace with views of Siena. For dinner, the property offers a three-course menu with home-brewed beer on request, served on the terrace. Alternatively, guests can cook in the well-equipped kitchenette; a supermarket is a short drive away, and the family has been known to provide transport for grocery runs. A pizzeria is about 2 km away, and there are several other dining options in Siena. Packed lunches and room service are also available.

Wellness facilities include free-use sun loungers and beach umbrellas on the terrace, a solarium, and outdoor furniture perfect for relaxing with views of the Tuscan hills. The large, fenced garden has a children's playground with outdoor play equipment, and a games room is available for indoor leisure. The surrounding area offers plenty of outdoor activities: cycling, hiking, fishing, horse riding, archery, bowling, and tennis are all possible, mostly at nearby locations and some at an additional charge. The property itself hosts walking tours and bike tours (charges apply). For families, there are baby safety gates, board games, and babysitting services on request. The peaceful setting and facilities make it a comfortable retreat after a day exploring Tuscany.

Practical amenities include free Wi-Fi throughout the property, free private parking directly in front of the apartments (no reservation needed), and a paid shuttle service to Siena town centre.
