Summary of reviewsBeautiful property with spacious rooms, lovely pool, and stunning views. Ideal for large groups. Excellent amenities and communication. Highly recommended.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
We had a wonderful stay att the villa. It would have been even better if the weather had been warm and we could have used the pool. We could instead use the big, wall to wall, fireplace which created a fantastic warm feeling.
Vilma and her husband took good care of us and recommended places when I asked her of things to do nearby and her husband arranged the fireplace and fixed the firewood, among other things.
It was also nice with the pool table, which we used frequently.
A little minus was that the oven in the stove did not work and the standalone oven did not do the job.
It is a fantastic house with a lot of history.

Nice villa in a great location
6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
The villa was as historic as it gets. The views from the backyard were amazing. There was plenty of room for our family holiday of 8 adults. Everyone had their own space and bathrooms were plentiful. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with plates, pots, pans and glassware for all. Communication with the manager of the property was A plus and they even helped us coordinate an amazing birthday dinner on property. On the downside, the property needs a lot of deferred maintenance. We were there during rain storms and three of the rooms and bathrooms had large leaks which made everything in those rooms wet. Also, the humidity was off the charts which did not allow us to wash and dry clothes because nothing can dry in those damp environments. Additionally, it seems the house must have been left open because there were bugs all over inside when we arrived (and we’re from Florida so we know bugs). Also, the weather did not provide much opportunity to enjoy the outdoor spaces and the mosquitoes were off the charts bad. The location was also quite challenging to find so following the written instructions was essential with a minimum 25 - 30 minute drive to most locations of interest. All in all, we had a lovely time together and enjoyed Tuscany as a whole. There is so much beauty.
