"Two things that really made our stay at the Palazzo Ravizza exceptional were the charming terrace with a view of the Tuscan countryside, and the included continental breakfast offered in the morning, including plenty of drip coffee! ☕️ Our room was also undeniably European, with a painted ceiling and rustic furniture. The AC was sufficient, considering the daytime high on our visit was 100°. Service from the staff was very helpful, and they even called a taxi for us. The shower was hot with strong water pressure. The architecture of the hotel had some historic charm as well, with leaded glass doors, black and white marble floors, and vaulted ceilings in the public spaces. But that terrace... 😍"
"Wonderful hotel in great location just a short walk from the centre but quiet and peaceful in the evening. Fabulous helpful staff. Breakfast always fresh and lots of choice. We used the terrace restaurant once and it was fabulous - what amazing views! Highly recommended for a short or longer stay"
"Location was great - 5 mins to the bus station and town centre. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was comfortable. Only issue we faced was with the hairdryer - attached to the wall in the bathroom - it kept cutting out. Luckily one of the team were able to bring a portable one - but was a bit of a pain. Would defo recommend if you are in Siena."
"one of the best place to enjoy Tuscany area. there are 2 very beautiful pool in the top of the hill, and a very nice restaurant facing west where you can see fantastic sunset."
"We spent a wonderful week at Borgo Scopeto and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. It has everything you'd hope for from a luxury Tuscan retreat: beautiful historic buildings, immaculately kept grounds, and a peaceful atmosphere full of character. The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming without ever feeling intrusive, and the food was consistently excellent.
One of the biggest advantages is its location. Siena is only a short drive away - you can even see the city's campanile while having breakfast - so it was easy to combine days by the pool with exploring one of Tuscany's most beautiful cities (and, inevitably, a bit of shopping to keep our teenage daughter happy).
A fantastic place to stay, and one we'd happily recommend."
"Great property with unique setting being an old monastery. We thought we had booked a room with A/C but there wasn’t. They moved us to a room with A/C at no additional cost."
"Absolutely loved the outdoor patio and dining spaces. Our room was lovely and comfortable too. Staff was very helpful with restaurant recommendations, taxis and basic questions."
