Elen did a wonderful job of transferring our vacation wishes into a detailed itinerary. We went through a couple of iterations before settling on the final plan, and she was very patient with our changes. Once in Italy, our local contact Maria made sure we were always informed about pickup times and tour guide details, ready to support us if necessary.
Florence was awe-inspiring (as expected) - in hindsight I wish we had spent a couple of more days in Siena, but that was our choice, not a criticism of Elen.
Will definitely use Kim Kim for planning our next vacation!

Hotel Athena Siena
Siena

Hotel is just within the walls, easy free monitored parking without worrying about the ZTL zone. It’s a 10 minute uphill walk to the Piazza, which means downhill after dinner! It’s a surprisingly large hotel, and the breakfast area was extremely crowded. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable, with a small balcony.

Authenticity & Character
Large hotel that feels small, not overwhelming.
Location
Close to the Piazza, easy parking.
