Lovely traditional hotel, great pool and good food. I’ve had better breakfasts, but more than adequate to get you started in a morning.

Garden around this property is beautiful and there is little swimming pool which was excellent. Rooms are a bit outdated, but they serve delicious Italian breakfast.

Here's an elegant English translation of your text, incorporating your points into a cohesive narrative:  Nestled just outside the enchanting city of Siena, Villa Scacciapensieri Boutique Hotel stands out as an excellent choice, whether you're traveling solo or with family. This charming villa truly shines if you resonate with the following sentiments: First, after a day of bustling activity, you yearn for a clean, tranquil retreat away from the city center's clamor. Second, you appreciate rooms that, while not ultra-modern, offer ample space, full functionality, and impeccable cleanliness. Third, recognizing the notorious parking difficulties in Siena's historic heart, you'll delight in the convenient and affordable public transport links right outside the hotel's gate – a benefit I've personally experienced and can attest to. Finally, should you wish to sidestep the pitfalls of tourist-trap restaurants while still savoring authentic Tuscan cuisine and wine, the hotel's own restaurant is an absolute gem. Indeed, that evening, to toast my discerning choice, I indulged in a fine bottle of local wine.

Most relaxing Tuscany venue and area with a refreshing pool and attentive staff. On site breakfast delicious with a nice assortment of fruit and pastries. The full bar available 24 hrs . Only two notes : In room coffee would be preferred and is not available. Only USB in the rooms for charging and adapters only worked in the bathroom; the other outlets could not accommodate EU plugs or phone chargers .

Very neat property, but a full on ban on bringing in outside food or beverage seems a little bit overbearing considering people have different dietary needs.

It really is an extraordinary place. Amazing building, high ceilings. Elegant, top service. My wife loved it and we rather thought it was worth the money in spite of a couple minor points. The bath/shower knob did not engage fully to shower mode, so the water ran heavy through the tub spout during showers. But the pressure was still good at the shower. This was complicated by slow drains (both in the shower and also the sink). We stayed 3 nights but no repair was forthcoming (hard to get a plumber I guess). The shower was in the tub which is a tight squeeze. These places use an old dungeon key for room entry...no security risk I think, but it would be nice to upgrade to electronic card access? We booked understanding that there was air conditioning but there was none, or not functioning...consulted staff. The weather was temperate so not a problem but, travelling through Italy can be sticky and we like to dry out at the end of the day. Even with all this, the place is extraordinary and it was a fine place for the money. Also I wanted to get some laundry done as we travelled for weeks, but thee seemed no way to get it done. The pool is nice but in this season alot of flies were in the pool. The staff and service and food are top notch. The place is on a road that has the usual Italian motorbikes zipping up the road. But at night it is quiet. Beautiful property gardens. There was no shuttle to town, but the buses stop right at the property. We drove.

Nice place to stay at without paying too much. Frederica at the front desk was attentive and helpful. The hotel is clean and has a very Italian rustic feel to it. Had great views of the landscape around Siena.

We had a great 5 night stay at the Villa Scacciapensieri. The room was cozy and very comfortable. We loved the outside of the facility, it was beautiful, flowers, lemon trees, beautiful landscape. The staff were good, the staff who worked breakfast were amazing! The front desk seemed a bit stressed out. We rented the bikes which was a blast! Our minor complaint, they refused to uncork a bottle of wine we planned to drink in our room. They gave us a beer opener, but not wine. The facility offers very little, which was what we were looking for, just FYI if you want extras

The Worst Stay Ever !! This hotel management team will tell you it’s illegal for them to heat the rooms more than twice a day for short periods ….this is fraudulent behaviour. We checked into the hotel - premium room and upon entering the room it was dark, damp and very cold. We asked for the heating to be turned on and was told this was not possible because of local government rules on heating times. Given the condition of the room it’s damp state and temperature I would not ask my pet dog to stay there. This is NOT a 4 star hotel and does not justify all of the positive ratings. - if you look at those - most were pre covid after which I am told the hotel went into administration and emerged in a poor state - no refurb and no investment. We were moved to another room , however this was a mezzanine up steep stairs with no handrail - joke. I’m a very regular traveller and stay in hotels at least 80/100 nights per year - this was the worst in terms of description and mid match to reality. We asked for a refund and were refused. After some further complaint to Hotels.com they did assist - but I would suggest that you PASS on this hotel AT ANY COST. - you have been warned. This is at best a poor 2 star premises and only stay here if you like to be cold and damp

The hotel grounds and facilities were beautiful and well maintained, and the views were great. The room was comfortable, and the air conditioning was effective. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The receptionists had great recommendations for restaurants. I don't really have any negatives.
