Overall Ratings & Reviews Villa Scacciapensieri Boutique Hotel

Lovely antique location with very accommodating staff.

Very attentive staff. Beautiful property.

Beautiful magical property to stay close to the city but not in the "middle".

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Scacciapensiere! The grounds are beautiful and the staff was lovely and very helpful!!

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 loved our time! The hotel is truly a boutique hotel. Our room was clean and cool which was nice. The grounds and pool etc were just beautiful. We really enjoyed the kind staff.

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.

Our best eksperience ever

Great quaint spot

Very lovely property, clean, fresh rooms. The staff was very hospitable and the complimentary breakfast was wonderful.

Nothing special about the room. We really appreciated the bathtub after 7 days with only showers at other places. Disappointed that we weren't informed of all the breakfast options until the second day.

Absolutely beautiful location and the grounds are stunning! Had wonderful food and service from start to finish

Gorgeous place. The staff we’re very friendly and helpful. Included breakfast is very yummy , the only complaint I would have is the food at dinner , didn’t look good and didn’t taste good . I suggest you going down the street there a pizzeria near the camping , there pizzas were amazing . The rooms are cute and comfy. I would recommend this place .

Beautiful hotels and grounds. The staff was so attentive to our every need.

Out of town so very quiet.
