to get started.

Beautiful property and grounds, great having breakfast and dinner outside. Maitre D was wonderful.

Watson&watson, United Kingdom

Friendly staff, old world charm. Excellent customer service, beautiful gardens, lovely dining room. Great views with both a pool and tennis court.

Rhondda, Australia

Super location, quirky hotel but an absolute pleasure to stay there.

Stuart, Ireland

Beautiful room with antiques in a villa sitting atop a hill. Had a west facing window with shutters so the sunset was beautiful. Evocative if 'a room with a view'. Too cold to swim but there was an outdoor pool. One pizza restaurant in walking distance as old city centre s bus ride away. Quiet place and breakfast very nice. First place with boiled eggs available.

Louise, Australia

The property is very nice and green. Nice grounds to walk around... The bathroom was nice.

Cat25, Brazil

The staff and the villa were excellent. Extremely helpful and made you feel comfortable as soon as you arrived. Our suite was more than I could ask for. And the restaurant was also incredible, both food and service

Raymond, United States of America

Very friendly staff. Wonderful location. The grounds of the hotel are very tranquil. Although the villa is outside of Siena, it is easy to take public transportation from right outside the property (you can even buy tickets from reception). Coming back is a little more difficult, so make sure to ask the driver to let you off at the right stop. The restaurant staff for both breakfast and dinner were extremely helpful and efficient. Overall, a very pleasant and comfortable stay.

Barry, Switzerland

Atmosphere and staff and food. Everything for the client: you don't like the room - we'll change it, you missed the brakfast - we'll bring you the coffee and croissants, you want to have a winery tour - we'll help. The silence - you can take a rest on the beautiful pool, the super seats outside, in the garden. And the maitre de restaurant - amaizing, profi and helpful man - thank you for your kindness. The food in restaurant OUTSATNDING - don't even try to go to SIena restaurants - you will not find nothing better. We had super stay there and surely will back. Thank you.

Beata, Poland

Travelling with 3 children so the pool was fundamental. The suite slept 4 and it had amazing views and was the size of an apartment. We had the quadruple room for 3 people.... all was perfect. The restaurant was fab, with efficient staff. Close to siena by car yet happy to NOT have stayed in town

Marianthi, Spain

Had a lovely dinner in the garden under beautiful trees.

An Inside Look at Villa Scacciapensieri

"... A haunt of ancient Peace" (Tennyson) The Villa was built 1800 as private home to escape from the city during the hot summer. My aunt Emma opened hotel and restaurant in 1934, we, Michela and Martina Nardi, take care of it today. Through the years many guests discovered our peaceful oasis. One particular guest came back time and time again, the mother of Antoine de Saint-Exup

눇Very nice hotel outside of Siena, located in a small park. Car can be safely parked on the premises of the hotel. It is very easy to get to Siena, bus stop (lines 3 and 8) is directly in front of the hotel with service to the city center basically every 15 minutes. Hotel staff extremely attentive and friendly, besides Italian all seem to speak at least English very well. Option to eat for dinner in the hotel's own restaurant (recommended, as there are basically no other restaurants in the neighborhood), both service and quality of the dinner is really excellent, especially the dessert buffet is worth mentioning.

눉Best for travellers with a car, although I coped with local bus. Mine was a single with adjoining door so some sound evident between rooms. They don't seem to cater for self making cups of tea. Mini bar in room but expensive.

“Looks nice, but super super old everything...”
- • Leisure trip

- • Economy Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The hotel is super super old, when you enter the room its like you entered a room in 1858, the bed seems like its falling apart and the furniture as well. The bed was old, we asked for a queen size bed and its two single beds put together, so someone is falling in the middle during the night. The sheets were normal and there is no duvet. There isn't even a TV, its like a mini computer monitor. The staff wasn't the friendliest at check-in. We were tired so we went to have dinner at their restaurant at night, since I am pregnant I can't have raw meet, so we ordered the beef fiorentine, which is 60 euros only for the beef. Then we ordered a risotto milanese....Dinner was a huge disappointment. We asked for the meat to return 3 times to cook it more, then the waiter got all moody saying that not how it should be eaten. If we are paying and we have a preference, why can't I say how I want the meat cooked??? The risotto which is the simplest risotto in the world was beyond horrible. We had a 90 euro meal and it was the worst meal of Italy in 20 days. The breakfast was very very simple, the cold cuts had bees flying everywhere, sitting on the cold cut, inside the conduct box...it wasn't pleasant.
눇The property is very nice and green. Nice grounds to walk around... The bathroom was nice.

“Avoid these people. The epitome of bad hoteliers.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Economy Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉This hotel has got the same sad lack of customer respect that is endemic in Italy and they wonder why their economy is so bad. I had booked this on the advice of friends who live in Siena as it was unknown if they could host us themselves, which they regularly do for friends that come to visit. Booked as a cancellation possible up to a certain date, but due to an error on the system it booked at as confirmed. Before you say I am inept, I have both a private and business account with tem and book about 20 hotels a year, so I know full well how their system works. I immediately called the Hotel (within 5 minutes) and was told that it was impossible to change this. I called the next day and spoke with a manager who was so unhelpful it was way typical of the usual Italian could care less attitude, even though I dais I would pay a 50 Euro inconvenience charge to them (what inconvenience?, but never the less I offered) We ended up staying with our friends who were disgusted and have said they will never send anyone there again. I purposely did not cancel the room, as they would have ended up renting it again and making double the money from it. I checked when we arrived and they were fully booked, so I am glad I did not return the room. The upshot is that they have annoyed me, our friends and their other friends, so they will miss out on more business from them and I will ensure that they get the reviews they deserve and hopefully they will miss out on other bookings as well. I would strongly suggest that you avoid this place, as they are obviously so hard up for money, will your room still be there when you arrive?
