Sina Villa Medici, Autograph Collection

Spent three nights here earlier this month while in Italy for a family wedding. It was my first time at this hotel (and in Italy, for that matter), and overall, it was a lovely stay. First impressions were very positive. Check-in was quick, efficient, and friendly. My room wasn't ready when I arrived, but I only had to wait about 30 minutes, which was perfectly fine. When it was ready, I was pleasantly surprised by a lovely suite with a spacious living area, separate bedroom, and large bathroom. The view wasn't particularly impressive, but that's the way it goes sometimes. There was also a thoughtful welcome note and some sweets waiting for me on the table by the couch. A nice touch. Unfortunately, after spending some time in the room, I noticed a strange smell. Initially, I shrugged it off, thinking it might have been something I was imagining after a long day of travel and very little sleep. However, the smell was still there the following day, and after asking a family member for a second opinion, I decided to request another room. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. They arranged a room change without any fuss. The new room wasn't quite as spacious as the original suite, but that was perfectly fine with me. The bed was very comfortable, and I slept well throughout my three-night stay. The property also has a small gym in the basement. Nothing elaborate, but perfectly adequate for a quick maintenance workout. Harry's Bar, located on the property, serves good food and has a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit. Breakfast was perfectly fine, with a selection of eggs, bacon, breads, and other standard offerings. Nothing extraordinary, but a good way to start the day. What really stood out to me was the staff. Every interaction I had was pleasant, professional, and friendly. Even when I needed to change rooms, everything was handled smoothly and without hesitation. Despite the minor room issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. I'd happily stay here again.

Sina Villa Medici was a beautiful hotel and the location was perfect to walk in the city. The staff we all very professionalal and helpful. The lobby and outside at the pool were very nice. The room was excellent and very clean and quiet. The room had a balcony that had a lovely view of the atmosphere.over the pool.

Overall assessment - Not five stars and not worth the price. We stayed for four nights in a nice balcony room overlooking the garden/pool. Pros: The common areas are gorgeous, the hotel has a lovely pool which sits in a beautiful garden where you can also enjoy food and drinks. Cons: While in our room, we heard lots of door pounding and what sounded like someone running in the hall in the mornings. Not sure if it was housekeeping knocking on guest doors, but it was disruptive. The noise level in the rooms is undoubtedly exacerbated by the wood flooring which does not muffle sounds. Wood floors were scuffed and scratched. Be aware that when the hotel has events, you may be unable to dine at the restaurant or go to the bar. On one night, they had an event in the main restaurant, and it was closed to guests. On another night, they had an event in the bar, and it was closed to guests. As to service, they appear to be short staffed - there was only one waiter in the bar/garden area whenever we were there which resulted in slow service. The bartender was unfriendly. Location - a bit of a walk through what appeared to be a sketchy neighborhood to get to the main historical area and bars/restaurants. Finally, (and I see the GM already tried to explain this issue in regard to another review), our room had a strong odor of a (very) dirty diaper when we arrived. We called for housekeeping who arrived quickly and cleaned the bathroom, which helped. The smell eventually dissipated completely after a day. While the GM seems to suggest this is a sewer issue, even so, why not check the room before we were sent up? They could have eliminated the odor before we arrived and this would not have been part of our experience. It was quite off-putting to say the least.

Great location, my upgraded room was nice but dated. The reservation showed photos of what an updated room looked like, not what we received. The balcony was a bonus and needed because the air in the room was very stale.

Spent five nights at this beautiful hotel and from check-in to check out, the staff was truly amazing and would handle any requests that we had. I thought this had a very homey feel, and I enjoyed the neighborhood being near a great deal of authentic restaurants, that were not touristy. The room was well appointed and the service was exceptional. The only hiccup was the WIFI, it wasn't the best, and would keep dropping, however for me, it wasn't of great importance. The outside grounds by the pool, are very nice, and a great respite to relax after walking the city all day. All in all, I felt like a valued guest and I want to commend the staff for making our vacation memorable.
