Our family loved our stay at this villa! The views are truly amazing. The house was very comfortable for the 5 of us. The location worked great for us. We enjoyed visits to nearby towns and day trips to Siena, Florence, and San Gimignano.
We had an excellent stay at Villa Ampella Torre.
It was immaculately clean with a brand new kitchen with all the utensils and basics you need including a very appreciated welcome basket. The beds were very comfortable and very much a home from home. The crown jewel is the patio and the amazing sunsets and views.
It is very quiet and has a lovely shared pool but mostly we were the only ones using it.
Villa Ampella Torre is very centrally based for all the beautiful Tuscan towns.
Lovely property quiet and spacious. Well appointed and handy to all little villages. Very helpful caretaker who helped us with a few problems we had with our car rental after we blew a tyre. We found out there were no local taxi services and Jo suggested places we could try.
We went with our granddaughter (2 years) and my son and girlfriend. The villa was in a great location in Tuscany if you want to be in the southern section. The villa is large, great for groups and has a lovely patio outlook. The dining living area has several French doors that open out to the patio/garden. There was one issue I raised with the owner regarding reliability of water pressure which I hope they addressed. The ‘host’ was super responsive. I’d stay again.
Our family loved this wonderful and well located property. Naomi is an excellent host and we received a warm welcome from Jo. Communication before and during our stay was excellent, including many wonderful recommendations that we took advantage of.
The home is well appointed and spacious. It was perfect for our family, including our two kids. They loved the pool and we loved relaxing on the patio.
The home is lovely and the photos don’t do the incredible view justice. We would have loved to stay longer and will remember our week forever. If you are looking for a home base in Tuscany to explore, this is it.
All 5 star: Naomi, Jo and ALT! Naomi provided great info on places to visit, places to eat, things to do nearby, very helpful logistical info about the place and surrounding area, responded promptly to our enquiries, and there was a basket of local goodies to welcome us! Jo is the guy you want on site. He was there to greet us, fun to chat up, very helpful and thoughtful and he also responded quickly to our enquiries. ALT was everything we hoped for, great accommodations, great location, great vistas. Very wonderful to stay and enjoy ALT and as a base from which to travel to all the beautiful nearby villages, wineries, restaurants, etc. V&M
The Villa is perfect in many ways...the kitchen is well-equipped, has a very comfy sitting area, has incredible views and sunsets of the Tuscan countryside from the lovely outdoor patio, and overall is well appointed. Podere Ampella is quiet and peaceful and we really enjoyed our ten nights there.
The location is excellent for driving to the major sites, Siena, Assisi, Cortona as well as the small villages that are close by to explore. Our communication with Naomi was superb and she provided excellent instructions and directions to us prior to our arrival at the Villa. We were met by Jo, the caretaker who was super helpful and nice throughout our stay. He made us feel comfortable and shared some of his favorite places to visit with us.
We would highly recommend the Villa Ampella-La Torre to anyone wishing to stay in a lovely Villa in the Val d' Orcia area of Tuscany.
Thank you, Naomi and Jo for a wonderful stay at your Villa. Nanci & Al
We spent a week at the end of July in this beautiful property. The communication before we travelled to Italy was great and when we arrived there was a local gentleman, Joe , on hand to answer any queries, sort any problem and even booked a restaurant for us as our Italian is very limited. The house was well equipped and very clean and comfortable. There was a helpful information book containing suggestions of what to see, where to eat, local grocery stores etc.The outdoor space was great with a large table and chairs, a BBQ and two loungers. Despite there being a few other properties on the site there was no noise and it often felt we were the only people there. The pool was beautiful and was never very busy. The views from the pool and from the garden were incredible as were the starry night skies. The surrounding area was full of vineyards, olive groves and beautiful villages to explore. If you are a cyclist you will love this location. I hired a gravel bike and had a great time cycling some of the local routes. All in all this property is beautiful, the views are stunning and it was hard to leave. Many thanks to Joe for being about for any queries etc.!
We were guests at Villa Ampella La Torre in August 2023 and had a wonderful stay. The restored farmhouse is updated with modern amenities but still retains all the charm and rustic elegance of a country manor house. The advertised panoramic views of the Val d'Orcia from our villa surpassed our expectations. The sunsets were glorious. Nearly every evening we admired the fantastic view from our patio with a good glass or two of local wine. We thoroughly enjoyed all the amenities of the villa; the swimming pool was especially delightful after a full day of touring and wine tasting. The villa is conveniently located near several wineries and hilltop towns, and Naomi provided great tips on nearby restaurants, wineries, and other activities. We took a cooking class at the Tuscan-Chef Cooking School in nearby Montisi and highly recommend it - it was great fun learning to make and eating delicious traditional Tuscan dishes. Other highlights were trips to Pienza, Montalcino, Montepulciano, and Siena. One of our favorite winery experiences was at nearby Santa Giulia where we had an amazing tour and wine tasting with lunch. Since our first brief trip to Tuscany 10 years ago, we've dreamed of spending more time in a Tuscany villa. Our stay at Villa Ampella La Torre was everything we had imagined and more. Thanks Naomi!
Beautiful Villa in Tuscany area with so many close towns and wineries to visit. Villa was cozy and clean and well stocked with all you need. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets and sunrises.
Absolutely amazing! Such a well stocked, modern kitchen with a full-size refrigerator. Lovely home with spectacular view and within easy driving distance of quaint but lively cities. Wish I didn’t have to leave! Our host helped us with everything from driving directions to booking cooking classes. I highly recommend this home and dream of returning myself.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying here. After touring around we would come back and sip wine on the patio and look at the beautiful vistas. Really enjoyed using the well equipped kitchen before retiring to comfortable beds.
Great place to rent
Our group of four adults had a wonderful stay! The condo has breathtaking views and is in a perfect location for exploring. We rented a car a visited several cities in the area and also got a feel for the true Tuscan lifestyle in the country villages nearby. The owner is so helpful with planning. We would love to return someday!
Beautiful updated Tuscan Farmhouse with gorgeous sunset views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this villa. The owner Naomi is very prompt in response to reservations with great details. Jo the caretaker is very friendly and gives great recommendations on the area. Enjoyed great wine tasting in local towns. Siena and Florence are not too far for day trips. This is a must stay if visiting the area!
We had really good time, surrounded with pure beauty. The location is central to many famous places and we enjoyed visiting them. The villa is equipped with everything one can need for a comfortable holiday.
Naomi is a great host who establishes a nice friendly relationship ahead of arrival of her guests. The caretaker, Jo was very kind and always contactable for anything we needed.
Beautiful villa and beautiful views really just perfect…. Location allowed peace and quiet at morning and night watching the sun rise and set. Also was perfect to visit many local towns as they were just a quick drive away…. Rent the villa, rent a car and enjoy Tuscany away from the crowds nearer Florence…. Thanks to Jo for his conversations and check in!!! We will be back!

Beautiful home and property with stunning views!
This property has the quintessential Tuscan charm along with stunning views and all of the modern finishes and conveniences. The sunsets each evening are breath taking and we couldn't get enough of it. We loved the property so much that we stayed in most nights to enjoy it and cooked as opposed to going out for dinner. The kitchen is equipped with anything you would need. Naomi was a pleasure to work with and Jo the caretaker was so kind. I would highly recommend staying here for your perfect Tuscan getaway!
We recently stayed at Villa Ampella la Torre and have nothing but great things to say. The communication with both the owners and the caretaker before, during and after our visit was exceptional - particularly their care, attention, and advice they gave on visiting local attractions and booking a private chef through the Tuscan Chef (highly recommended). The house is beautifully decorated, new, clean, spacious and well equipped, and the pool there is amazing. While we had a couple of issues with the AC and water supply, these were immediately addressed (despite us saying there was nothing urgent). Their caretaker is so lovely and went out of her way to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The only reason we did not rate the location as excellent is due to the distance from other amenities (e.g., groceries, restaurants, etc.), but the property is beautiful and the views are stunning. We would absolutely recommend staying here and hope we have the opportunity to return one day. Sincere thanks to our hosts and Jirina for making this an unforgettable vacation. Grazie mille!
Perfect. Peaceful. Beautiful beyond our dreams. Clean. Exceeded expectations in every way. Magical. Restful. Convenient to charming, small villages and hilltop towns. The air in Tuscan towns was sweet with Jasmine. Gracious hosts. Generous gift basket upon arrival. Olive oil soaps and shampoo were wonderful. Amazing. We did not want to leave. Magnificent in every way. We want to return! Thank you. Grazie!!!!! Love this home!!!
We had an amazing experience and few days off in Naomi's Villa. The communication with her was great. We were welcomed by the caretaker Jo who is super friendly and helpful. The villa is equipped with everything one would need. The bedrooms are all spacious, the beds comfy, the bathrooms are big enough as well. The kitchen has everything in it that is needed and more (i.e. 3 or 4 different coffeemakers, just one example). To top it off the villa is "sparkling" clean! It is located behind a locked gate with views that are priceless! How we enjoyed having our morning coffee and late afternoon snack overlooking the green rolling hills of Tuscany. So so relaxing! Long story short if you are able to book this wonderful house do so - you won't be disappointed! Thanks Naomi, Jo and Irina!
