In the historic center of Siena, prestigious and charming apartment on the top floor of the ancient Bichi Borghesi Palace still belonging to the owners family and a few steps from the famous Piazza Il Campo.
The apartment has an elevator up to the third floor, and a flight of stairs to access the independent entrance
Over the centuries the Palace has undergone several restorations and in particular, the house has been created from the attic of the building transformed into an original and comfortable home. But the real highlight of the apartment is the roof terrace, a large and bright space right at the top of the house. At the end of '800 the roof has been conceived and built by one of the owner's ancestors as a photographic studio, so he makes the most of the extraordinary light of this area of Tuscany. The room overlooks two balconies, one of which boasts, in particular, a magnificent view of Siena: the Duomo, the Palazzo Pubblico and the Torre del Mangia, San Domenico and the hills of the Val d'Orcia up to Monte Amiata, literally they surround the viewer.
Despite being in the center, the house is rather silent.
