 Date of Stay: December, 2006
 My girlfriend and I spent a wonderful three nights at Scacciapensieri. Although originally only two nights were available, and I had booked our third night in another hotel, the very helpful staff made it possible for us to continue our stay for the third night and engineered our move to another room so smoothly it was barely noticeable. Correspondence was friendly and extremely helpful, and staff were very courteous and helpful throughout. The rooms in the new extension were very comfortable and well-appointed, the grounds beautiful, and the lounge area very comfortable. The swimming pool was also a delight. We dined in the restaurant one night as a treat and, though not cheap, the meal was exceptionally well-prepared and presented. The clientelle was mostly older couples (we were the only young couple present as far as I could establish!) but this suited the old-world patrician charm of the location.

 The Villa was all we expected from the rave reviews we read. It's a great facility in a lovely setting, but the best part is the service. The concierge and manager could not be stumped by unusual requests. The dining room staff displayed the highest standard of etiquette. Their pride in their meticulous style of serving added to our enjoyment of the delicious breakfasts and dinners. The location afforded easy access to Chianti Classico explorations as well as Siena. Views of the surrounding countryside, especially in the morning mist, were magical.

 Great place. If you are driving get good directions because, if you do not know the area, the hotel is hard to find. Although convenient, don't take the bus into Siena, a cab from / to the hotel is easy and reasonable.

 Overall the place was very nice. We would choose this place again and recommend this facility to others....The food service was more than we needed but we were happy with that service. Overall it was a nice place to stay....Parking being free was great and the internet service was reasonable and convenient..would have preferred a self service breakfast but no big deal...the Shayne's

 The villa was absolutely perfect from the staff, to the rooms to the restaurant. The staff in the restaurant treated you like family and thoroughly enjoyed explaining the dishes and local cuisine. They made the dining experience pure heaven. Not to mention the dessert cart....which was fabulous. The atmosphere in the villa was friendly and very helpful. They helped us schedule trips and made sure we knew the best ways to get around. One of the most delightful parts of our trip was getting to know the administrative staff that ran the villa...Caroline, Paul, Barbara and Valentina were gracious, kind and so understanding and helpful. It was an excellent experience and we have recommended the villa to everyone we know. I wouldnt stay anywhere else in Siena but the Villa Scacciapensieri. Kathleen Bell

 An oasis in Italy. One day we stayed at the hotel until 2:00pm because we enjoyed the quiet setting. Dinner is excellent and the view from the terrace is great with a glass of wine. My husband and I run for exercise and we were able to fine a dirt road close to the hotel and run through the wine and olive country. A beautiful hotel with a staff who goes the extra mile.

 Villa Scacciapensieri is an oasis of peace in the otherwise uninspiring suburbs north of Siena. The location was not as we anticipated in the Chianti countryside but rather in the suburbs close to, what appears to be, one of the major hospitals in Tuscany. The hotel however cannot be faulted in terms of comfort and service. We were particularly impressed with the quality of food and service in the restaurant. The grounds of the hotel are well kept and peaceful. The public service bus into the centre of Siena is convenient but not as we also anticipated a hotel run minibus service. Other residents were mainly friendly Americans. Our confirmed booking price through Venere did not match the price the hotel tried to charge us upon checking out. When this was pointed out our confirmed booking price through Venere was accepted without argument. Although I have said I would not return to the hotel this is not because of the hotel itself or its quality and service, which was exceptional and well worth revisiting, but because of its location.

 My wife and I went to Siena for the first time. Villa Scacciapensieri sits on top of a hill overlooking the valley and surrounding hillsides. Our room overlooked the beautifully landscaped garden, and beyond green rolling hills dotted with Italian homes. I will stay at this Villa again with no reservations what so ever. And we will definitely return to beautiful Siena.

 We really enjoyed our stay at Villa Scacciapensieri It is in an excellent position a short bus ride into the centre of Sienna and either a bus or a seven euro taxi ride back at night.The restaurant was first class and lunch taken in the garden was very relaxing.All the staff were very proficient and helpful but a special mention to Bruce who kept us right with our drive into Florence and his tips on route and where to park were first class and saved a few shatterd nerves.Could recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a quiet relaxing visit to this part of Tuscany.
