Absolutely gorgeous property and truly exceptional hosts! Our family had a wonderful stay at Podere Ferrale. After 5 busy days exploring the sights of Rome, it was the perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the beauty of the Tuscan countryside.The villa has been meticulously restored, preserving all of its historic character while offering every modern comfort you could want. Every detail of the property reflects the care, pride, and passion that Samanta and Franco have invested into creating such a special experience.The property tour and wine tasting were a highlight of our visit, and we’re really looking forward to our wine shipment arriving soon! What truly set this stay apart, however, was the kindness and generosity of the hosts. During our visit, one of our toddler grandchildren had a minor accident and needed to be checked at the hospital in Siena. Sam and Franco immediately stepped in to help and cared for us like extended family. What could have been a stressful experience in a foreign country became much more manageable thanks to their kindness and support, and thankfully everything turned out just fine. We genuinely could not have asked for better hosts or a better experience. It’s obvious they truly love what they do, and it shows in every aspect of Podere Ferrale. I hope to visit again in the future with our family - or on a couples trip. The property is perfect for both!

Our family had a wonderful four-night stay at this beautiful villa which has been meticulously restored to provide all the comforts while maintaining its Tuscan charm. The property itself is amazing with a large pool and plenty of outdoor seating areas to relax and enjoy the panoramic views and beautiful sunsets. Owners Samanta and Franco were gracious and very helpful in providing recommendations for restaurants and things to do in the area. The quaint, nearby town of Castellina was most convenient to the villa offering great shops, cafe and dining options, and a supermarket. We also visited the towns of San Gimignano and Sienna. Samanta arranged for a chef to provide a pizza dinner on the night we arrived and that was fun and delicious. Another highlight was the complimentary wine tasting where Franco and Samanta shared the vineyard's history and how the wine is made. A total Tuscan experience - wine estate, food, villages, shops - and many lasting memories made!

One of the best proprties we have ever stayed at. The house and grounds are well appointed and pristine. Samanta and Franco go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. We loved every minute of our visit! We hope to return when the weather is nicer and stay longer so we can enjoy the pool. Don’t miss the wine tour and tasting - it was such a great learning experience and you can taste the love they have for their vineyard in the wines. Simply exceptional in every aspect.

The property was fantastic and Sam was a great host. Do not miss her wine/olive tasting from the property.We also had a cooking class/dinner at the property that was excellent and enjoyed by all.Thanks again!!!
