We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Siena is like. They answered...
"A typical expat home or apartment in Siena, is likely to be located in the historic city center or in the surrounding countryside. These homes often feature traditional Tuscan architecture, with exposed wooden beams, terracotta floors, and stone walls. The apartments in the city center are usually situated in old, renovated buildings, offering a mix of modern amenities and historic charm. They may have one or two bedrooms, a living area, a small kitchen, and a bathroom. Some apartments may also have a small balcony or terrace with views of the city's narrow streets and picturesque landscapes. In the countryside, expat homes are often found in restored farmhouses or villas, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards. These homes usually have more space, with multiple bedrooms, larger living areas, and outdoor spaces like gardens and patios. They may also have a swimming pool and other amenities for outdoor living and entertaining. Regardless of the location, expat homes in Siena are likely to be furnished with a mix of traditional and contemporary Italian furniture and decor, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The cost of living in Siena is generally more affordable than in larger Italian cities like Rome or Milan, making it an attractive option for expats seeking a more relaxed and authentic Italian lifestyle," commented one expat who made the move to Siena, Italy.
