We recently stayed at this property for 2 1/2 weeks to celebrate our 60th birthdays with our family and friends. We had an amazing experience with Giuseppe and Marina. Prior to arriving they were very helpful, providing information on activities, car rentals, cooking classes etc. When we arrived we were welcomed like we were family, with a bottle of wine and fresh fruit from their trees.
The Villa was beautiful! It was renovated to perfection. The rooms were large and everything was spotless. The commercial kitchen had everything we needed and more. The grounds were spectacular with olive trees, fresh fruit trees and lavender. The infinity pool was beautiful, we really enjoyed the pool after a day of touring.
The location of the villa is about 20 minutes from Arezzo, 1 hour and 20 minutes from Florence and an hour from Sienna. We visited many towns and drove about hour to most. On the last day we were fortunate enough to go to The Paleo in Sienna which was such a life experience.
Giuseppe and Marina lived in the villa and we were so happy they were there. They helped us with scheduling restaurant's and wineries etc. Marina did a cooking class for our group which was so much fun. When we left we felt like we were leaving family.
If you are looking for a beautiful villa, wonderful hosts in an amazing setting I would highly recommend this villa. There is nothing worse than going so far away and being disappointed, I promise you that you won't be disappointed. The pictures of this property don't do it justice!
