Guest Reviews

• Sharon (8/5): Great stay in an amazing location lovely people we met with the shared kitchen. - The location and the view.
• Gjergj (10/5): -
• Olga (10/5): - I stayed in Villa Socini for 5 days and it was absolutely amazing! In spite of Villa is located close to town center (1 minute and 5 minutes from train station) - it was always quiet and piecefull, design made of like village style like at grandmother' home , very cozy and warm, feel like you are at home ❤️.... especially i liked beautiful terrace with a scienic view of Tuscany hills, very romantic, especially in the evening! Also, the lady Vitoria who was taking care of everything - is a very friendly person and hospitable ❤️💋🌷 If im goi g tocome back to Siena, i will go directly to Villa Socini! Recommend to everyone for 1000% Thank You Madame Vitoria for Your warm hospitality!❤️
• Francesco Zucconi (9/5): - Pulizia, posizione, comodità del check in.
• Emilija (3/5): - I would like to let you know that it was very cold in the villa, which made our stay uncomfortable. Also, we did not like having to share the bathroom.
• Francesco Zucconi (9/5): - Pulizia (anche degli ambienti comuni), posizione, comfort. Niente da segnalare.
• Lilit (10/5): Schönes Haus mit schöner Aussicht - Sehr zentral und schönes Haus.
• Danie (8/5): - The suite was large and splendidly located and the hostess was kind and friendly.
• Iryna (10/5): - It was an amazing experience and excellent value for money. A truly authentic historic villa with beautifully preserved interiors, perched on a hilltop just beyond the walls of the old town. The terrace overlooking the Tuscan hills is the perfect place for breakfast or dinner. You will be charmed by the thoughtful little details and the rabbit in the garden. The location is very convenient — close both to the main historical sights and the railway station. The hosts were warm and welcoming. I would definitely recommend it.
• Zhanna (10/5): - Marvellous place, the view from the backyard is amazing. Close to the historical centre. We didn’t regret choosing this place 😍
• G (9/5): - Het is een hele fijne ruimte, dichtbij het station. Erg mooie kamers. En een prqahtige omgeving met mooi uitzicht.
• Juan Ignacio (10/5): - Tutto perfetto, eccellente rapporto qualità prezzo
• Snizhana (10/5): -
• Natty 89 (10/5): -
• E (9/5): -
• Richard (9/5): -
• Sandra (9/5): - L'emplacement est parfait pour accéder rapidement à la zone piétonne de la ville de Sienne. Le logement est spacieux et propre. La déco était très typique et agréable. La proximité à la route est pratique mais donc un peu bruyante si on cherche beaucoup de calme.
• AnnelotSophia (10/5): - La habitación era muy grande, todo muy limpio y la ubicación genial!
• Iryna (9/5): -

• Tristan Rafael (10/5): -
• Andrea (8/5): Siena - Struttura molto bella essendo una villa antica. Le camere ben arredate e letto comodissimo. Subito fuori dalla ztl se arrivi in macchina. Parcheggio un pò caro. Acqua e caffè a pagamento.
• yves (10/5): Une parenthèse enchantee - Villa avec beaucoup de charme ( boiseries,marbres,architecture ) qui vous plonge d entrée dans une atmosphère de vacances du 19° .située de plus a 50 m d une des portes de cette ville magique.fabuleux
• Filippo (9/5): - La posizione rispetto al centro storico e alla stazione e la qualità della struttura e delle stanze. Penso che l'accesso alle camere potrebbe essere mediato da qualcuno, almeno in fase di arrivo.
• amalia (9/5): - Le sistemazioni, due camere con bagno in comune, ampie comode e silenziose.
• FOREL (9/5): -
• Caren Estefania (10/5): Bellísimo todo - Todo, la ubicación es muy buena, cerca de todo Nada
• Paola (9/5): Buona soluzione - Camera spaziosa, pulita. Posizione comoda vicino all'ingresso di Porta Camollia Bagno in comune con un'altra camera, anche se molto pulito e spazioso e soprattutto costo delle 2 bottigliette di acqua in camera. Più elegante sarebbe usarle come omaggio di benvenuto . Parcheggio esterno a fortuna
• Consuelo (10/5): -
• Domenico (8/5): - Posizione felice. Persole disponibile e cortese.
• Celine (10/5): Bonne adresse! - Très bon emplacement, beaucoup de charme, terrasse, jardin à l'ombre, on reviendra!
• Giulia (10/5): Soggiorno piacevole a due passi dal centro di Siena - Abbiamo soggiornato una notte a Villa Socini e l’esperienza è stata molto piacevole. Camere curate e accoglienti, ambienti puliti e ben tenuti. Ottima posizione per la vicinanza al centro di Siena.
• Valeria (9/5): -
• Austin (8/5): Great location and comfortable rooms. - Great location and very secure. There was a strange smell coming from the hallway leading to the bathroom. Unsure if it was the water in the heater or something else. Additionally, charging for private parking on the premises seems like a money grab and put a bad taste in our mouths. Just include the parking in the price, not charge additional.
• Giovanna (9/5): -
• Sibylle (8/5): - Die Lage ist optimal - direkt ausserhalb der Stadtmauern und es gibt einen Innenhof zum verweilen. Trotz Zimmer in Richtung Strasse sind die Fenster so gut, dass man die Autos etc. nicht hört. Es wird alles vor Ort sehr unkompliziert gehanhabt Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist etwas klein und dunkel - gerade bei nicht so gutem Wetter wenn man nicht draussen sein kann.
• Maciej (9/5): -
• Diogo (10/5): - Historical room with antique objects, authentic atmosphere. Confortable beds and showers. Excellent space and furniture offer. Excellent cost- benefit.
• Diogo (10/5): -
• Mia (10/5): Lovely place to stay would definitely come back! - The kitchen was well equipped and the bathrooms were very clean. The view was more than we expected with a lovely spot to sit down and eat. It was still an easy walk to the centre of Siena in a safe and pretty area.
• Mary (9/5): Wonderful Stay - The villa was very nice. It sits and overlooks the countryside and is an absolutely stunning view. The room was very comfortable and clean. It is also unique with old fashioned dressers and bed frames. The host was wonderful about getting us instructions on arrival and reaching out to make sure we were comfortable. It would have been nice to have a hairdryer, but that was our only complaint. Truly great stay.
• Alessandra (8/5): - Pulizia ineccepibile, camere dal gusto antico, pronta reattività della host e grande disponibilità anche per l'appoggio bagagli pre-partenza. Posizione fantastica: solo le strisce pedonali separano la struttura da porta Camollia Mantenendo il gusto retrò, credo sia possibile ammodernare un pò il mobilio delle stanze
• Amani (8/5): -
• Ruslan (4/5): Я бы сюда никогда не хотел больше вернуться - Местоположение в целом комфортное Во первых платная парковка. Считаю очень дорого 18 евро за машину. Во вторых тут холодно 🥶 и нельзя добавить тепла. В третьих все очень слышно, когда кто то ходит по коридорам. В четырёх сервис очень плохой - даже бутылку воды тут стоит 1€ в номере. В пятых сам номер немного мрачный
• Emmanuel (1/5): A fuir - Rien Personnel extrêmement désagréable nous n avons pas pu rester et avons dû trouver un autre logement Vous devriez retirer cet hébergement de votre site internet
• Tu (10/5): -
• Gianfranco (9/5): - Tutto
• beltran (9/5): - La ubicación es excelente, y tiene todo lo necesario para descansar, además fueron muy amables permitiéndonos el check in con anterioridad
• Stephanie (9/5): Perfekt für einen Städtetrip in Siena… - War für 2 Nächte in der Unterkunft und alles war super! Zimmer und Bad waren sehr sauber und man ist in wenigen Gehminuten direkt im Altstadtkern… Kommunikation mit der Unterkunft war immer freundlich…
• nir (9/5): - המיקום של החדר היה מצויין מספר דקות הליכה מהעיר העתיקה של סיינה. החדר היה מאוד מרווח וכלל שני חדרים גדולים. המארחת הייתה נחמדה ולא נתקלנו בקושי כלשהו למרות המצב המורכב באיטליה ביחס לישראלים. החניה הינה ברחוב על בסיס מקום פנוי.
• Jeanette (9/5): - The Villa enables you to be near to the old city of Siena but outside the gates. The villa is in a quiet location with a good balcony area for guests to enjoy breakfast or a drink. We made our own breakfast and had use of a guest fridge in the kitchen. Facilities are clean and everything is available for guests. The kitchen was a little dark but no other issues ! We had a double room with shared facilities.
• Justine (8/5): - L’emplacement près du centre historique était parfait.
• Xiaoli (1/5): - Bedding
• Brigitte (3/5): - Avant tout personne à l’arrivée et cette insistance à vouloir me faire payer à distance sur un lien sumup J'ai craint une arnaque car elle a beaucoup insisté via envoi de messages sur WhatsApp. Elle a EXIGÉ que je paie par sumup ou en liquide . Donc du stress à peine arrivée. J'ai donc dû installer sumup ! Et j'ai fini par y arriver avec l’aide d’un Inconnu. Bonjour Sienne !
• Bezuidenhout (9/5): Fantastic place. - The accommodation was beautiful, and the location exceptional. The host was lovely. Thank you! No wifi, through no fault of the host.
• Luciana (10/5): pasamos dos noches en el lugar y estuvo buenisimo, es un lugar hermoso! - la casa es hermosa, está muy cerca del centro histórico -
• huihui (7/5): - good location near to centre and.the station the mattress is overused, is like sleeping in a hole, the towels are overused too
• paula (8/5): - Excelente ubicación. Tiene para estacionar, lo que es super practico. . Las instalaciones son básicas, pero comodo
• Paulien (7/5): -
• Francesca (8/5): - Posizione ottima, a pochi passi dal centro storico e dalla stazione ferroviaria. Camera ampia, pulita e bagno in comune pulito e grande.
• Davide (9/5): -
• Pertti (8/5): - Paras paikka kohteita ajatellen Yhteispesuhuone
• federica (6/5): - Posizione comodissima al centro di Siena. La camera non era pulitissima e non mi era chiaro che il bagno fosse in comune con un'altra camera, ma questo ovviamente è anche un'errore mio che probabilmente non ho letto bene la descrizione della camera. Non ne vale neanche la pena il posto auto interno dato che fuori per strada il parcheggio è gratuito.
• Mikhail (10/5): - Excellent!
• June (9/5): -
• Marco Marcel (10/5): -
• castiglia (6/5): Bella villa in posizione centrale ma priva di servizi - Villa bella e curata, ottima posizione anche per chi arriva con la macchina Servizi scadenti, mancanza di acqua gratuita solitamente presente in strutture di questo genere. Letto con struttura scandente che mi ha impedito di riposare, mancanza di informazioni sul possibile uso della cucina e tutto a pagamento.
• Marco (7/5): - Posizione ottima! Situata proprio di fronte alle mura storiche. 10 minuti a piedi da piazza del campo, una passeggiata piacevole immersi nel centro storico di Siena tra locali e negozi. Stanza ambia, presenti set da bagno e phone. Presente un mini frigo. Mancanza di condizionatori, presente però un ventilatore. Rigidità sugli orari di check in e check out.
• gomez (9/5): -
• Marc (8/5): Séjour agréable très proche de la ville - L’emplacement très proche de la ville Isolation moyenne on entend les autres Le verrou des toilettes est à revoir (n’a pas empêché quelqu’un de rentrer)
• Louise (9/5): Fabulous stay in a lovely location! - The location was really convenient for exploring Siena. The Villa itself had lovely views from the terrace and the room was lovely and comfortable. Highly recommend! Nothing
• Palkama (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, amazing accomodation with a lot room, such good value for money! :) Host was super quick to answer and made sure everything was okay 🙏🏻 10/10 recommend
• Charlie (10/5): Great location. Easy communication throughout. I would highly recommend to anyone thinking of staying here. -
• Kate (10/5): Great location! - Room was HUGE! Great location, an easy walk to the main centre in Siena. The patio right out the front door had AMAZING views (the fort nearby also had awesome views of the area). Very clean and comfortable. Appreciated that there was a fan in the room.
• Sarah (7/5): Good -
• Patrocinio (7/5): Good - Super location, clean room, equipped with fan and super host. It was not clear on booking that it was a communal bathroom.
• Roberta (6/5): Ok! - We had a large room (suite), it was very clean. The Villa is located just outside one of the town gates so it was a very easy walk to the centre. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and there is a lovely terrace with a view where you can sit. Unfortunately our room faced a busy road so it was noisy at night. As there was no AC we had to keep the windows open which meant we couldn't rest properly. We were provided with a fan but in June is very hot, so AC would have really made a difference. The owner texted me to ask if I had a dog in the room just because I had a dog in my Whatsapp profile picture which I found invasive.
• Adriana (6/5): Beautiful villa for a true Tuscan experience - Beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view of the Tuscan countryside. I enjoyed sitting out at the little tables. I only saw a small part of the villa but I’m sure the rest is very beautiful and historic. The location was perfect, right next to the wall around old town. Very quiet despite being near a busy road. Easy walk to the train station escalator and an amazing Pasticceria. I met Vittoria and her children, so adorable and gives the place a family energy. The shared bathroom was fine, I never saw anyone else use it. I only book one night because I know there is no AC units in the room, so I’m not sure how I would do as I’m from a cold climate. The fan was fine but AC would have had me staying more nights. I would have liked to see more of the villa but maybe it is all private. The check-in/check-out is all done yourself and I didn’t want to wander around and intrude but the photos look so beautiful.
• Kenny (10/5): Exceptional -
• Matthew (8/5): Very good -
• K (7/5): Good -
• Pawel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Brown (9/5): Ideal location with a beautiful view from the garden. -
• Mishina (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (7/5): Beautiful Villa, Rude host… - The room itself was lovely! clean, spacious, and well-located near the train station and Siena’s center. We appreciated the early check-in, and the property has a lot of charm. Unfortunately, the experience was tainted by the host’s behavior. We encountered an issue with the heating, which turned off around 10pm, leaving the room cold at night. Despite being told the heating would run from 6pm to 6am, this wasn’t the case. When we brought it up politely via message, we were met with a hostile response the next morning. The host insisted that we are rude for texting her after the “operating hours” (despite no reception hours being listed anywhere), brought up her children multiple times even though it’s not our business nor something we should be worried about during our holiday, and dismissed our concerns. While I understand this is a family-run accommodation and not a hotel, we are paying guests and expected basic hospitality and professionalism in return. Her personal situation is not our responsibility, and as paying guests, we should be able to raise concerns without being treated with disrespect. A beautiful place, but I would not return due to the host’s attitude. With better communication and a more respectful approach to guest concerns, this stay could have been much more enjoyable.
• Svetlana (9/5): Superb -
• Longtalker (9/5): Superb Villa with an excellent position and view - Beautiful traditionally-Tuscan villa, in an exceptionally good position, close to one of the historic city gates and at the same time to the train station, yet tranquil with a splendid panoramic view, thanks to the ample backyard where you can take refuge from the busy street on the opposite side of the house. The staff were very welcoming an accommodating with our needs. The common kitchen and bathroom were clean and very well equipped. There was nothing major to criticise really!
• Nicola (8/5): Very good -
• Carolyn (2/5): Place is amazing but the owner isn’t - I liked the view from the place and the Promt response Behaviour of the owner , I had addressed one of my concerns and she was being too rude. I had asked her if it was possible for me to increase the thermostat as it was cold for me. She was saying it heated appropriately. It wasn’t well heated for us who were not used to the cold weather and started screaming at me.
• Dimidzievski (10/5): Exceptional -
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Umut (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tiziano (9/5): Villa Socini (& Vittoria) made for an excellent stay in Siena. - What a great villa, location and view from the outside terrace... :) Vittoria was away holidaying, but we managed everything via WhatsApp - she even checked in during our stay to see how things were going. Will definitely look to stay here again if the opportunity presents itself.
• Javier (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, 15 minutes from train station, walking distance to city center.
• Poihong (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. Quaint stay in a beautiful villa
