to get started.

Old, historic building converted into a hotel may years ago.. So enjoyed the old-worlde experience, from the maid making your room ready for sleeping in the evenings, to the excellent cuisine, and on the very courteous and attentive staff. One or two elements/components of the hotel that won't be everyone's cup-of-tea, but overall a great experience and one that I'd recommend.

Martin, United Kingdom

The view, able to leave the window open at night. Some noise, as this is located nearby the hospital. The gardens are pretty.

John, United States of America

Love this oasis of calm just outside the mania of the historic center. Beautiful property with lovely grounds and pool to cool off after a day exploring. Staff are all so nice and helpful. Absolutely recommend.

Grant, Australia

Fantastic atmosphere and lots of charm. The fact that not eveything is perfect makes this place perfect. And extremely pleasant staff. No effort is to great for them. Lovely breakfast and diner under century old trees.

Alexander, Malta

The place is spacious with a vibe of an old school classy hotel where waitresses and maids wear black dresses and white aprons. And then a headwaiter in a suit and a bowtie is there for you listing dishes of the day and recommending wine. You don't meet this in a lot of even good hotels these days. Atmosphere (not the look) reminds me of Hotel Grand Budapest movie. Garden is super beautiful, big territory, nice pool, big parking, nice outdoor seating for dinner and breakfast. Everything is very picturesque. Perfect location to travel around for discovering south of Tuscany. (But if you are interested only in seeing Siena it is still ok, there is a bus to the city center and the bus stop is literally at the entrance, by bus it takes 10 min.) To sum up, the hotel is very atmospheric and relaxing and an absolutely great value for money! Don't miss a chance to book it!

Kseniia, Russia

Authentic ambiance and very friendly staff. Lots of shade for sitting outside, nice view. Good place for trips to Siena yet quiet.

Hans, Netherlands

This is a great place to stay if you are wanting to be just outside of Siena but within easy travel distance. The villa is beautiful and very well kept and the staff are very helpful and friendly. It is a very relaxing place to stay and we had a room overlooking the garden - which was lovely. I would definitely recommend this villa to other travellers.

Fionula, United Kingdom

Great hotel with great location to see Siena as well as go to Tuscany area by car. Hotel staff doing a great job and is very accommodating towards families.

Jan, Sweden

beautiful location, beautiful setting, felt like royalty (Grace Kelly stayed there)

Bernie, United Kingdom

Probably the best hotel experience of my life. Magic. Wonderful dinner at the terrace, pleasant swimming pool (great in summer heat), charming garden, very nice room, and all staff like actors from a beautiful film. I will long to come back.

One of our top picks in Siena.

Villa Scacciapensieri is surrounded by a large park just outside Siena, and offers beautiful views of the Chianti Hills. This 4-star hotel features a range of rooms, a swimming pool, and excellent cuisine.

Villa Scacciapensieri's main building was built in the late 18th century and has rooms on the 2 upper floors. Other rooms are in 2 annex buildings.

On the ground level of the main villa, there is the 24-hour front desk desk, a bar with lounge, a library, a private chapel, and a media room with internet access.

The Altri Tempi Restaurant serves typical Tuscan cuisine, including homemade pasta.

The center of Siena is just 1.5 miles away. Public buses to the center of the city stop in front of the Scacciapensieri, and run every 15 minutes during weekdays.

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

Want to send a special request to Jesus, Ada and her staff of chamber maids, Andrea lo chef and his crew, Andrea il maitre and his waiters, Barbara and the front desk colleagues and the Nardi family, the owners? Add in the next step!

눉The bed. It was two twin beds pushed together, not a true double/queen. The rooms need a little updating. Different pictures from site. Continental breakfast only, nothing hot to eat.
눇The view, able to leave the window open at night. Some noise, as this is located nearby the hospital. The gardens are pretty.

“Beautiful atmospheric villa you should not miss”
- • Leisure trip

- • Economy Double or Twin Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉- Breakfast was not so good, only boiled eggs out of egg options, no veggies, average selection of cereal. (but to be honest, there was a good selection of fruits, pastries, and sweets, but personally, I don't understand how can eat something sweet in the morning) - There is no iron in the room and there is even no ironing station anywhere in the hotel. The only way to get you things ironed is to order pressing from the hotel, which is priced from 3 to 6 euro per item. I find it ridiculous that's there is no choice like in all hotels I ever stayed before. And when I asked about the iron board at the reception looked at me like I am the first time in a good hotel and told me contemptuously (at least I got the feeling) that in their hotel you don't iron yourself. Did not like it. -Also, the same manager was not very nice to me before when I was starting to look at the list of guest which lay openly at the reception to show her our names since I wasn't sure which room number we have. She told me a bit in a rude way that's it's not my business. If it's not my business then don't leave it in a prominent place. To be honest, if not this lady I would be much happier with our stay in this beautiful villa. But even she made me very pissed one day I still would recommend this place because it's so special and atmospheric.
눇The place is spacious with a vibe of an old school classy hotel where waitresses and maids wear black dresses and white aprons. And then a headwaiter in a suit and a bowtie is there for you listing dishes of the day and recommending wine. You don't meet this in a lot of even good hotels these days.

눉For the money that we paid? overall not happy. The rooms were warm (granted it was very hot!) but the air conditioning looked and felt old- the beds gave us all a little back-ache and no coffee maker in the room- we had dinner- the appetizer was great- the rest was not- they brought us an ash tray after we finished our meal but didn't clear the plates- felt for the money we paid we got better service at other hotels!
눇Grounds are beautiful.
