Its so hard to condense how amazing this place is into a short paragraph. We were booked to stay here July 4th to July 11th but due to flight delays we ended up getting there July 5th. The host was available and flexible about our change of plans and kept in regular contact. Our group was a party of 11 people and there was ample space for us to gather together in the evenings as well as have our alone time without disturbing each other. The house is decorated in a beautiful traditional Tuscan style but with a very modern kitchen, pool area and wellness centre. The grounds are spectacular, well maintained, private and safe to let the children play without the need for constant supervision. The trees, plants and flowers set the scene for a beautiful, family oriented, trip of a lifetime. The rooms are spacious with plenty of storage available and every room has an en suite of some nature. The house was spotlessly clean. We booked Francesca for a chef-made meal for one of our nights which was a luxurious treat for everyone. We were very impressed! We also booked Francesca’s pasta making class which was great fun and a memory for the whole family to last a lifetime (even though i was not naturally skilled in making pasta!). The pool is about 120cm at its deepest so our 7 and 8 year olds could comfortably stand up in the pool with head and shoulders out of the water. The pool was very clean and there was plenty of furniture to sit or lie in the sun or the shade.

We were 8 adults and 2 children. The villa was impressive and the pool was perfect in 34 degree temperatures. Each room had an en-suite and they were immaculate. The grounds were beautiful.

Villa Carda surpassed our expectations in every way! The pictures are beautiful, but it is is hard to capture the full scope of it's beauty and serenity in pictures. We stayed for two weeks in June. We relaxed into our Italian countryside rhythm varying easy lounging days with adventurous days exploring Tuscany as well as Rome and Florence. Andrea was such a gracious and attentive host. Francesca and Elena are absolutely lovely. They cooked for us as well as taught us how to cook pasta- unforgettable and a must do! This was a vacation full of joy, connection, peace, and a much needed respite. We have already booked another stay!

Amazing villa! Great pool, garden and hosts! Everything was simply perfect! Thank you so much Andrea and family
