Villa Scacciapensieri

Location in the hills just above Siena. Villa lies in a charming park with a pool and is very peacefull and relaxing.

Rooms could need some general restoration.

A very beautifull hotel with a nice atmospheer, a nice garden with swimmingpool and an excellent diner in the garden.

The sitting area and the luxery bathroom in the split level room is too small and too narrow. The sleeping area is OK.

Superb! Excellent location an hour's walk from Siena with commanding views of the Tuscan countryside. The view of the sunset from the upper terrace was magnificent. Refined service with excellent attention to detail. Excellent breakfast and the set menu at dinner is a must for those wanting to experience local cuisine. I'll be back.

The villa was ideally situated just a short bus ride from the centre of Sienna.The Villa enjoyed large nicely kept gardens with lovely views of the Tuscan hillsides and a large pool to cool off in. The food was excellent, we chose the typical Tuscan menu which we felt was good value.

The pool lost the sun in the late afternoon which was a shame. We also felt that although we chose to eat from the Tuscan menu, the main menu was very expensive.

Pleasent grounds, relaxing, good and attentive staff.

Basic double room on the small side

The hotel had beautifully arranged gardens all around and dining on the outside patio was lovely. They offered two prix fixe menus for dinner in addition to the a la carte and the more moderate one was an excellent value with a very Tuscan flavor. The staff, from bellmen to waiters to deskclerks, was friendly, knowledgeable and went out of their way to be helpful. The local bus service, stopping right outside the gates, was very convenient for getting into the city.

Our room had only a view of the hotel roof which was a shame given the surroundings but our daughter's room, a true single, looked out onto a garden. The old fashioned shower setup in our room made it hard to shower without getting the floor near the sink quite wet. Our daughter's room had a stall shower instead of a tub so there was no problem there. They do not supply hair conditioner.

Great breakfast. easy access to Siena by bus available at gate.

Air conditioning unit in our unit was very noisy

Beautiful gardens and lovely terrace for meals. Quiet , comfortable rooms tExcellent Bus Service into Siena from Bus Stop outside the hotel

park garden, swimming pool, although just couple of hours in the sun per day because of tall trees, tennis court.

one receptionist was rude and spoke something to himself in German like Blode Frage, after asking a normal question in english. Pitty for him we understand German. hotel has classic style, but need some modernisation, like very small old fashion tv standing next to bed which you could not watch from the bed.

The grounds are beautiful, just outside the city. The bus stop to the center of town is right at the gate - very accessible. The food served at the hotel is a little expensive, but well worth it- excellent meals!

The view was exceptional from our bedroom. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast was good.

The living room was very small and uncomfortable. It's a bit overpriced based on the room size and amenities offered. We happened to be unlucky to arrive when the water in Siena was unsuitable to drink.

Andrew and staff for there remarkable service at Dinner every night. Barbara at reception for her smilie face and always so helpful.

Beautiful scenery surrounding the villa and the garden grounds
