Great stay!

We had a very nice stay at Villanovia. The house offers everything what you need: lots of space for a big group, a pool, jacuzzi, table tennis, fusball/kicker, lots of different sitting areas, … Every room has their own bathroom. We can recommend to have the pizze cook come over - great experience! Delicious! Volterra is about a half hour drive away. We can recommend this place!

A great sunny family week in an amazing place

We spent a splendid week in VIllanovia Estate. The location is breathtaking. Chilling next to the swimming pool, discovering the natural reserve and visiting the beautiful cities in the neighborhood. To recommend. The villa is really spacious, the accommodation conform the description. All generations may find their pleasure there. Sabine & Constantin Woronoff

The property is off the beaten path but we found it with the directions from Marco. Once we got there, we got a tour of the property from various people, and then we settled in. The house is amazing, the views are stunning. We also opted for the chef made dinner and it was delicious. Everyone enjoyed it so much. We had some appetizers (charcuterie, bread, etc), green beans, pasta and Chianti beef...plus some semi-fredo and fruit for dessert.We also went for the cooking class and made ravioli (so much!) and stuff pork loin. OMG, it was so good.The property was amazing and we did some local hikes to the nature preserve. We used the pool and hot tub (tho, not so hot, oh well). Anytime I had a question for the owner, he answered right away.Saw lots of birds, a snake, a weasel (?), pheasant, sheep, horses and even a wild boar at night..I can't recommend this villa enough. Thanks MARCO!

Spacious house in nature

The place is in the middle of a huge green area, ideal for those who want peace and quiet location. We were in group of 19 and there was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Marco, the owner, is very attentive to all details and always around to help. House ammenities were a plus for those rainy days when we could not visit sorrounding Tuscan cities.

Perfect location for family holidays

We (12 adults and 1 child) had perfect holidays in this spacious house. We enjoyed the roomy and well equipped kitchen, the pool and the hot tub as well as the ample possibilities to eat inside or outside of the house. The owners gave us nice tips for restaurants around the location. A highlight was the vegetarian buffet we ordered for the last evening - we all could barely walk so much did we eat. We highly recommend this location, it is quiet, well maintained and staff and owner are very friendly. K

Fantastic property

We stayed in this beautiful villa with a big group of over 20 adults and kids, and it was perfect. The house is spacious, maintained well, with beautiful views of the hills and vineyards all around. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, both indoors and out.The pool was a major highlight. The outdoor dining area was ideal for long group meals, and the kids enjoyed exploring the grounds while the adults relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.Our host, Marco, was very thoughtful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We’ll have a lot of special memories from our week at this villa. Highly recommend for large groups looking to enjoy the best of Tuscany together.

Panoramic Villa with breathtaking views

This property is in free heart of rural countryside and as it states, the last few miles are a dirt track. However, the property and views are worth it. Superbly equipped kitchen , lots of seating areas to appreciate the views . Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Only 35 mins to Volterra. Recommend a car with good tyres.

11/10 recommend! We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at this beautiful private villa with amazing views. Words can not even describe the perfection about our stay with all our friends and family. Communication with Laura to organize everything at a distance was great, and Marco was lovely and so kind to answer all our requests during the week! They recommended vendors for our wedding and it was wonderful. The food and service was great. There was so many places to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany. Everyone had a private bathroom and air conditionning. The rooms are comfortable. The kitchen is bigger than we thought and worked perfectly for our big group (however we did not really cook haha). Thank you for everything!!!

The property and the owners exceeded all expectations. We hosted our wedding at the venue and housed all 16 guests. The house comfortably accomodated everyone with enough indoor and outdoor space to be comfortably spread out.The views are breathtaking and we spent multiple evening sitting under the pergola or in the hot tub watching the lightning storms roll theough the mountains. The hosts did a great job arranging the outdoor areas to take advantage of all of the natural beauty of the property.Marco and his family were unbelieveably accomodating hosts, going far above and beyond what we expected. We also booked the hosts catering partner for our wedding dinner, a pasta class, and a pizza night; Consuelo and her family were absolutely amazing and their cooking is lights-out. Beware though, like all italian chefs, they will make sure you have enough leftovers to feed a small army.To sum up our experience, this property including the hosts and the catering vedors were great! I woukd reccomend this to anyone and look forward to returning in the future!

Breathtaking countryside location

We were a group of 12 women and found Villanovia to be the perfect place. Some of our favorite things about Villanovia *panoramic views from all sides of the property *multple ourdoor seating areas, both for relaxing & dining/games *each bedroom/apartment has its own bathroom We had the villa chef, Mama Toscano, prepare 2 meals (pizza & Lasagna) and did a ravioli pasta making class. We loved the food and the cooking experience. We do not speak Italian so had a use google translate when needed, but it all went very smoothly. Before i booked the villa i had read other reviews about the road getting to the villa. It is a gravel road that is pretty rough/bumpy in places but we had no issues driving our cars on these roads. Just slow down, take your time and enjoy the amazing views. I would definitely return to Villanovia!

Wonderful property!

While the house is located far out in the Tuscan country side down a gravel road (closest small town is 15 away), it's location within Tuscany is unbeatable - 90 min from Florence, 25 min from Volterra - and Siena, San Gimingnano, Pisa/Lucca, wineries, beaches in between. The location is so peaceful and beautiful - bring bug spray for the mosquitos! A small price to pay for the views. Laura and Marco were very responsive and helpful. The place was spotless. Consuela and her family (Dominque is so sweet!) were AMAZING cooks - I would recommend doing the chef meals. One item of note - the 3 downstairs suites (Carraia, Mugnaia, and Volterrana) are only accessible from outside the villa - which is fine, we just didn't expect that. And Carraia does not have it's own kitchen, but it right next to a door to the house. Each room having it's own bathroom was a huge plus for our large group. I would recommend anyone to stay here!

Simply wonderful

The villa and the surroundings were beautiful. We were three families and there was plenty to do for everyone. A swimming pool with a beautiful view, table tennis, football table and a jaquzzi. The drive to the villa was beautiful despite the 4.5km dirt road. It was well worth it. Reception by a very friendly manager, who was also the chef, went well. (despite the language barrier). She cooked for us one evening which was really delicious and another evening she brought food. Highly recommended!!! The house and all the room were beautiful. It was nice that everyone had their own bathroom. The large common area was lovely, as was the spacious fully equipped kitchen. Contact with the owner was very good via Whatsapp and they were very helpful. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the house and the beautiful view. Thanks Laura and maybe see you in the future.

Never-ending views and birds singing.

Celebrated a big birthday with my family members and friends at Villanovia. We were a total of 24 ranging in age from 6 to 74 spending 11 fabulous days in perfect peace and harmony. The house lends itself to big groups and felt in fact empty when we were only 18 the last couple of days. Situated at the end of a scenic "driveway" (was technically not our driveway but felt like it) the house perch, like many Tuscan structures do, on a hill with 360 degree views with not a man-made sound to be heard, utter bliss to a city dweller. The house itself is kept in impeccable condition and is fully equipped. The owner was in the area for work the first 4 days and stayed at their separate house on the property. He was very helpful, friendly and full of information about the area. I would definately go back and my brother and his family is already planning on returning next summer. Camilla

The PERFECT Getaway!

My wife and I found and booked this house for our family and friends to join us for a celebration, and not one part of our experience was disappointing. We showed up late Friday night after a longer day of travel than expected, and we had people at the house waiting for us. They were very gracious and kind and I was communicated with the entire way. I was given a tour of the house and grounds and then we settled in. The house itself is huge and absolutely gorgeous. It’s a picturesque home with plenty of room and amenities. The following morning we got to see the unbelievable views surrounding the house and were shocked with the beauty. We had booked a dinner in house with the owners (which was an added cost) and it was such a great experience. The team that cooked was perfect and made us an amazing meal for our celebration. As for location we had a lot of options. There was a full grocery store about 25 minutes away in Volterra. Volterra also has a lot of shopping restaurants, and options. We drove to Cecina to the beach in about an hour, and up to Pisa in about 100 minutes. Florence is also only 90 minutes away. Overall, our entire experience was amazing. The owners communicated and answered all questions and gave us everything we needed to enjoy our trip. We were so happy with the entire experience and would definitely come back here. Grazie mille!!

Ein tolles Anwesen, welches wir mit einer Gruppe von 18 Erwachsenen und drei Kindern bewohnt haben. Es ist alles sauber und für solch eine große Gruppe ausreichend Platz. Es gibt viele verschiedene Sitzecken und Aufenthaltsmöglichkeiten, sodass man sich als Gruppe nicht auf die Nerven fällt. Es ist nicht mehr alles hoch modern - aber genau das haben wir auch nicht erwartet. Der Blick ist atemberaubend und lässt den beschwerlichen Weg zur Villa schnell vergessen. Den Kochservice können wir nur empfehlen, es war immer lecker und mehr als ausreichend. Wenn wir noch einmal mit einer größeren Gruppe in die Toskana reisen würden, würden wir jederzeit wieder diese Villa wählen.
