A lovely villa with a nice shared pool. Host communicates extremely well and is very responsive. We really enjoyed markets at both Sinalunga and Montalcino, dinner in San Giovanni D’asso and had a wonderful day cooking at Demetra Cookery school. We enjoyed the lovely coffee machine in the morning, games in the heat of the day and watching incredible electrical storms and sunsets

Fantastic location with breathtaking views of the area. House is located between two beautiful medieval villages. Only 30 minutes away from Montepulciano and Pienza, two places not to be missed. Great big, clean, refreshing pool. The host is very friendly and helpful, providing all informations upon booking. The caretaker is super nice and very quick to reply. The house has everything needed to cook and relax. The terrace is comfy with beautiful views. There is shade almost all day so that we spent all of our time outside. It was a very relaxing vacation. Just one tiny thing, the bathrooms need renovations but everything worked and they were clean. We strongly recommend for people needing a quiet, beautiful place.

This is our first VRBO and it was fantastic. The communication was great. The check in process was easy and very well explained. The recommendation book was great and we used it plenty.The villa was amazing, comfortable and relaxing. We had many home cooked meals, the kitchen was great and the outdoor cooking area was great as well. We used the pool, the water was cold but it was very hot outside so it worked great.We had a private cooking class at the villa which I highly recommend.We would return.

Calum and Norma

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.

Beautiful villa and beautiful views really just perfect…. Location allowed peace and quiet at morning and night watching the sun rise and set.

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!

Great villa in Tuscany

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.

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 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!

Beautiful Villa in Tuscany

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.
