We stayed 4 pleasant days at the tenuta and it's beautiful surroundings and enjoyed the tasteful interior and pleasant reception. The place is excellent if you don't mind being with "other people", because all the apartments are facing the same centre, where the comfortable couches, chairs and, tables are placed. There was just one thing, the couple next to us... More

We spent 5 nights in one of the flats. It was a basic but comfortable place with the minimum needed for cooking. We loved the courtyard in front of the flats with table, chairs and sofas for eating and relaxing while enjoying the view and the quietness of the place. The swimming pool is beautiful and offers one of the... More

We found this lovely location for our first family holiday, and it was everything we hoped for. Genevra and the rest of the family made us feel welcome, even after we called for directions and still toured all Siena before we found Tenuta di Papena! The apartments had everything we needed, the location is spectacular with views from the eternity... More

We had a lovely stay here in the first week of June. The apartment was spacious and clean, the bathroom is basic but absolutely sufficient for the price we paid. The pool is a really lovely feature to have and we spent many an afternoon in the sunshine enjoying it. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and the assorted... More

We got back yesterday evening after what can only be described as the trip of a lifetime! My partner and I decided to book the villa after finding it on Owners Direct and what a find it was. We organised every detail of our stay with Ginevra who was more than accommodating with my many questions! The property is absolutely... More

We stayed at this beautiful place for 8 nights in May. In general, we are not the “relaxing holiday” types, but this place will melt the hearts of even the most intensive holiday goers. The swimming pool, as you can probably tell by the photographs, is absolutely fantastic. We went in May, so the pool was freezing cold, but the... More

We stayed at Tenuta di Papena for 4 unforgettable days. The whole experience was beyond our expectations. An amazingly beautiful setting, with sympathetically-restored buildings, a gorgeous pool with a magical view, very well-appointed apartments, free wi-fi, horse- riding. It was a great jumping off point for day trips in Tuscany to Florence, Siena, Montepulciano, Pienza, San Gimignano etc. Our apartment... More

We had an amazing time in Tenuta di Papena. Peaceful, quiet, romantic, relaxing! The pool was amazing, cottages kept in Tuscan style, all you need for holiday is there! Very close to Siena, and even closer to San Galgano ruins. We are going back this year again!

Fantastic place:) nestled in the Tuscan hills. Nicely furnished apartment with big terrace. We spent hours sitting on the terrace with a glass of delicous wine. We could hear owls hooting, frogs croaking and watch fireflies. On hot days we were swimming in the pool. We did a lot of sightseeing (Siena which is very close, Florence, San Gimignano etc)... More
