    My boyfriend and I arrived earlier than the check-in time, and Maurizio was kind enough to let us leave our bags early so we didn’t have to carry them around. A lovely apartment with a private bathroom and a kitchen we shared with other guests....

Maurizio & Glenda
Fonte Gaia Experience combines the charm of an ancient structure with the modernity of the interiors. The wooden roof in all the rooms, and a truss, refers to the origins of the construction; at the same time the historicity interacts with the colors and the chosen materials, warm and welcoming: designer tiles, striking wallpaper, an original, joyful and comfortable furnishing. The reference to the Senese tradition is cheerfully represented by the "zucchini" of the districts, small helmets hand - painted with the reproduction of all the emblems and placed in a display case in the breakfast room. In our structure you will find maximum attention to detail and comfort of the customer: the bathrooms are equipped with chromotherapy shower, natural products for the person, soft and enveloping towels; in the rooms, the memory foam mattresses with double surface (summer / winter) guarantee a perfect rest; all rooms have a 43-inch flat-screen TV and a relaxing area with a kettle and herbal teas. In addition, the junior suite has a balcony allowing guests to opt for an outdoor breakfast during the summer.
About two years ago we chose Siena, as an ideal place to live and work. We tried to transfer the emotion experienced in this city, in our structure, with the intent to communicate joy and tradition, welcome and dynamism: qualities that characterize us. The name itself, has been chosen both as a link to the city for the reference to the fountain in Piazza del Campo, but also because it refers to the enthusiastic joy that, from the colors of the stairway to the apartment, envelops those who enter. Every single object in Fonte Gaia Experience, speaks of our passion for beauty and art. In it we have channeled our skills, as I, Glenda, are an architect and Maurizio is passionate about design and a lover of refined details. We are lovers of art and photography, we like traveling and hiking in the mountains, cinema and reading. We believe in a more natural and slow pace of life, respecting relationships, in the freedom of expression of each individual and kundalini yoga and meditation help us to respect this feeling of ours.
We are located a short distance from the most beautiful sources of Siena, those of Fontebranda and 120 meters from Piazza del Campo. Just 50 meters away, the escalators allow you to reach the Duomo in just a few minutes. The structure is in the heart of the district of the goose and a few steps from the Sanctuary of Santa Caterina. A unique location to live fully in the historic center, especially on the days of the "palio" when you find yourself surrounded by the exciting atmosphere of the race. With a pleasant walk you can admire the most beautiful historic buildings, the Mangia tower and the Civic Palace, the Cathedral and Santa Maria della Scala, discovering charming corners and unexpected views, have a rest in the many bars and restaurants with local and interesting revisitations. And after visiting the city, you must immerge yourself in the changing nature of the surroundings: from the lunar landscapes of the "Crete" Senesi to the spectacular colors of the Val D'Orcia, or passing through the soft succession of Chianti vineyards or prefer relaxing days in the thermal baths. We suggest you the natural and free thermal baths in Petriolo, Bagno Vignoni and San Filippo.
