Staying at La Canonica with Robert and Stefania and Jessica was a quintessential Tuscan countryside experience! About a 15 min drive from Siena, it is tucked away among the hills in a national park. The house is large and gracious, but has a cozy, homey feel. Our room was wonderful, set on a corner with French windows opening on two sides, looking out on the beautiful Tuscan countryside. We enjoyed the sitting area with arm chairs and a table with coffeemaker and snacks to relax and read. We loved the authentic historical feel and totally real Italian culture and hospitality. Roberto and Stefania were warmly welcoming and very happy to look after our every need and desire! They even went to the neighboring dairy farmer and picked up a wheel of the delicious pecorino cheese that they were serving at breakfast! Their breakfasts were the best, with a variety of Italian meats and cheeses, fresh omelets to order and bottomless cups of wonderful Italian coffee every morning! In three weeks in Italy La Canonica was our favorite stay.
