Disappointed in general with the rental. There was no wifi as advertised. The bathroom in the master bedroom was in disrepair. The beds were very uncomfortable. Dogs on the property barked all night. The property, though once probably very lovely, is just not kept up and in good shape.

Mr. Pepi was a gracious host and was most helpful. We enjoyed our stay in Siena very much and also meeting and interacting with his household including his dogs. The Villa is very spacious and is filled with memorial of days gone past

2 /5 Poor   Villa Review Rating Details

Although in a very good location for easy access to places, the property is in very poor taste and was dirty when we arrived. We had planned to cook our own meals but there were too many problems in the kitchen and lack of good pans that we were discouraged from cooking and ate out every night. The apartment is amazing and big but is full of the owners personal stuff which we found uncomfortable to live with. No Pets are allowed but the owner has 3 dogs which roam the ground! The pictures were misleading in that we thought we would sit outside but the seats and table are in need of a very good clean or replacing and the area wasn't clean enough to sit out.

We had the pleausure of spending a week at Villa Scaletta earlier this month (May 2011). It was wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful anitiques in spacious clean rooms. The sitting area with the great view made our mornings a treat and the lovely Italian kitchen made meal preparation a breeze. We would truly recomend this property to others.

2 /5 Poor   Villa Review Rating Details

I cannot recommend this villa. We arrived to find most furniture very dusty, a dirty bath tub, filthy oven, food drived onto cooking utensils and cutlery and no hot water for the first 24 hours. The bed's mattress was so hard we had little rest while there. To make matters worse, after we purchased cleaning items and tidied up the place, the owner tried to keep our deposit when we checked out - saying (130 euros) were for "linens" and cleanup. (I have rented many villas and NEVER been charged for bed linens and towels.) He refused to look at the photos (taken when we arrived) of the filty oven, a refrigerator that would not properly shut,. someone else's hair in the bathtub and on its floor, dead bugs on the floor, and refused to go and see how much cleaner we left it. Had we been able, we would have moved out but his wofe suffers from Parkinston's disease and I did not wish to further upset her. (The photos he put on the web site are misleading, to say the least.) Finally, we had our privacy invaded when, in the wee hours of the morning, someone entered the villa (from a hall door leading to his residence) without so much as a tap on our door or request to enter. I hope the photos I am posting will help others in making their decision. The rags shown are the ones we used to dust and c;ean the entry way and one of the bathrooms.
