We loved our recent stay at this property! I stayed with my partner on a part of our trip to Italy. The villa is quiet, and it was so fun to stay in an old villa that had been converted to small villas. We never heard our neighbours, and though there were several people staying at the same time it felt very private. Our room was comfortable. We did have a jacuzzi in our room, the only downside which we did not realize the first night is that you have to fill it up, which took about 30 minutes so took some extra planning but was perfect for our second night. The restaurant on the property was absolutely delicious and one of our favourite meals. Breakfast was delivered in a very cute box to our room. The property is beautiful and peaceful. We had a lovely stay!

Old world charm
The charm and architecture of these old world buildings was a special treat. The countryside was idyllic. Staying there is a different world for those used to western, industrialized cultures. And I appreciated that very much. Check-in receptionists were very friendly and helpful. One of them, Daniela, even offered me a ride to my destination a few kilometers up the road. I was asking about taxis, and for later a time at which she was leaving to go home. I really appreciated that generosity.

A bit like an episode of faulty towers. The staff seemed flustered and communication was very poor. The apartment was not at all as advertised and the member of staff couldn’t even get the door to unlock or lock again. They bought us a can of WD40 to spray into the keyhole and left it on our doorstep to use every time we needed to get in or out of the door. The air conditioning was broken which they didn’t bother to let us know despite it being 35-38 degrees during our stay. The apartment itself was dark and gloomy, which wasn’t helped when we had to draw the curtains during the day so people walking by couldn’t see straight into the bedroom when changing. There were squashed bugs on a couple of the walls and there was a small lizard running around in the bed linen. Despite having a restaurant on site there is no option to go for a normal breakfast and they don’t offer lunch there either. The pool water was quite dirty and the pool area was poorly kept with some patio tiles which flipped up as you stepped on them and un-mowen grass areas. The sun beds were old and didn’t fold flat and each room was allocated 2 beds in a designated area away from the pool. The whole experience was not one we would want to have again.

First, this is a renovated Abbey from the year 1263. It is absolutely beautiful. The rooms are large and most have great views of the surrounding area. Staff was very helpful (Patty and Danielle). Central location in the Trequanda region of Tuscany, but must have a car. Great restaurants, groceries, and other services in nearby Sinalunga. Also close to Montepulciano, Pienza, Montissi and Montalcino. We highly recommend this place.

Absolutely idyllic and magical property. Serene and quiet, away from civilization tucked away in the mountains of Trequanda. Perhaps one of the best resorts I have ever stayed at, not just in Italy, not just in Europe, but in the entire world. Definitely recommend a room with a jacuzzi and sauna, that is the moneymaker right there. The restaurant onsite is world class as well. All in all, 5 out of 5 stars, actually make it 6 out of 5. Definitely recommend and hope to return one day.

The property is absolutely stunning. It is like you are stepping right into a fairy tale. The staff was super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant at the hotel was one of the best meals I had in Italy. They also have full kitchens if you want to make your own meals, which we did one night. They have the basics like plates, silverware etc. Just make sure to get some extras like napkins, seasoning and soap to clean up afterwards. There is WiFi but it’s spotty.

We were very happy with the accommodations and location. Since I’ve stayed at Abbadia Sicille twice before, I was expecting the same wonderful breakfasts. We were very disappointed with the food: cold, undercooked eggs, lack of selection of breads/ pastries, and cold coffee. Espresso was hot. Wonderful staff. Wi-Fi was available only in the Reception area which wasn’t always available.

Gorgeous place, but a bit short on amenities
Probably more of a 3.5 star... This abbey is absolutely gorgeous, and all the grounds are fairytale like. We really appreciated how close it was to towns of Pienza, Montefollonico, Montepulciano, Bagno Vignoni, Montalcino, etc. It is centrally located, and the countryside around it is breathtaking. The check-in and check-out process was easy and friendly, and staff were very helpful in providing information about local dining, markets and wineries, as well as assisting us with some small needs and requests throughout our stay. We haven't stayed in other B&B properties in Europe before, so we can't compare the breakfast, but we thought it had a lot of variety, with warm options, lots of delicious baked items, so we were happy! There are some concerns with the rooms - they are pretty bare and basic, so if you are OK with a somewhat ascetic stay, you are in the right place. Our room had a decent kitchen, but all we had for supplies were two coffee cups, two wine glasses, two coffee spoons, a tea kettle and one single pot. That's it! I am not sure why provide a kitchen if it is not stocked with basic cooking supplies, plates, forks, etc..? The only other major concern was the shower. Yes, it is smaller, like in many European rentals, but the problem was with its fluctuating temperature. The water flowed on a hot/cold repeating cycle, so the only way to take a decent shower was to step under the water during the warm part, and step out during the cold. Rinse, repeat... There must be a problem with the tankless water heater in the kitchen. The room has fairly cold floors (our stay was in early October) with no rugs, and the extra wool blankets are pretty rough to the touch. It was overall a bit monastic. But again, we didn't come to Italy to linger in our rental, and its beauty, and proximity to many interesting sites still left us with mostly great memories.

Amazing Hotel in Tuscany
Amazing! Hotel is a 400 year old former monastery in the heart of Tuscany. Our room was huge- large bedroom, living area and kitchenette. Old world charm to the room and very clean, well maintained, and comfortable. Great breakfast with dining area overlooking Tuscan hills. Again, the best part is the location, you're staying in a castle with nobody around you in the middle of Tuscany. Only stayed one nite, but if ever back in this area will stay several days.

A hidden gem
We just loved our stay at Abbadia Sicille, from the beautiful surroundings to the relaxed and helpful staff - most noteably the lady on reception who went out of her way to assist with convinient check-in / out and lots of information during our stay. The hotel itself was delightful, beautiful gardens, quaint breakfast hosted in an old court yard, where growing was the best Wisteria I have seen in years! There is no on site restaurant, so if you arrive late in the day make sure you bring your own provisions. While the rooms could be finessed, the faults did not detract from what turned out to be a wonderful break in a small friendly hotel in the Tuscany hills.

Basically it was a monastery many centuries ago. In general the suite/room allocated to us was quite disappointing after viewing many great photos while booking here. The location is in the middle of no where. The view of the property is okay, the room and breakfast was below par and relatively pricey among of all the hotels we stayed in Toscana, unfortunately.

A relaxing stay in a stunning setting.
I loved every moment of our stay. Our Family suite was spotless and spacious, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms. I felt so relaxed here, the grounds and buildings are just stunning. It is the most beautiful place to stay. The cleaning ladies do such a good job and the lady on reception was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was average for my husband but my daughter and I have coeliac disease which was not catered for well despite plenty of warning. The breakfast is included in the price so we did not mind but if we had to pay for it on top of the room we would not have been that happy. All in all a wonderful stay. If in the Tuscan countryside a stay here is a must.

Upscale facility
Great facility, awesome view, very romantic and unique experience. The only reason I give a 4 is because this wonderful hotel does not have a receptionist or a customer service desk open all the time. They attend from 8am to 10am and from 4pm to 7pm. If you need help out of these hours, you need to wait. Ahhh forgot to mention, people on this area are very slow and laid back meaning if you are short of time you will be in trouble

Ancient building but well-preserved and well-equipped. The location is wonderful but a bit far from Siena. Its very dark at night and there is no lighting in the parking area. Should certainly improve its lighting. Staff a little less alert to the needs of the visitors. Overall recommended.

Lovely hotel nestled in Tuscan landscape
Management went out of their way to switch our room when we explained we expected a view. Suite #1 met that need completely. A spectacular breakfast is served in a beautiful courtyard and included homemade bread and pastries. Eggs, bacon cheese were also included. My only complaints would be inadequate wifi, and not finding one chair that was comfortable in suite or on patio. They were either sling like chairs or wtought iron with no cushions.

Really wonderful experience at the Abbadia Sicille! Reserved a room last minute on the night we were going to stay and they were very accommodating. The room was perfect and clean, the environment was charming, and sitting poolside in the morning was a perfect way to start the day. Also, the breakfast buffet was fantastic!

Amazing place steeped in Tuscan History.
Stayed here one night only - it is a spectacular building and really impresses. Rooms are in other buildings and, whilst a little dated, are full of character. The check in lady could not have been nicer and, as we were on honeymoon, provided us with a bottle of wine as well as giving us a large room with jacuzzi! There is a nice pool too. I loved this place as it was so full of character and really gave a sense of being away from everything. For the price, it is a great experience and I would definitely recommend it if you are touring Tuscany.
