Family Vacation for 11

My husband and I spent a week of a family vacation in Italy at Villa Maria with our two adult children, their spouses and five grandchildren in celebration of our 70th birthdays. Our time at Villa Maria was a spectacular experience! The villa is meticulously cared for – spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, with ample seating and dining spaces and breathtaking views. You really need a car to explore the surrounding area. Driving was harrowing at times as the local roads are very narrow. It took us longer than expected to visit other towns and we found that we enjoyed being at the villa so much that we did not travel as often as we planned. I suggest getting the smallest car you think you will need as it will be easier to navigate on the narrow side roads. The highways are fine. Our host Tomasso was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with, answering our questions leading up to the trip and remaining extremely helpful during our time there. His English is excellent and the response time short. He met us at check in and left the refrigerator stocked with enough goodies to hold us over until the next day when we could shop. We hired Chef Donato for 3 nights and he was fantastic! He prepares a delicious multi-course meal right at the villa that left us stuffed with plenty left over for lunch the next day. We felt it was an excellent value for the variety, quality and quantity of food prepared. You can book this property without hesitation – you will not be disappointed!

Tuscany Family reunion

Our family of 11 enjoyed 4 wonderful days at this once in a lifetime villa. Tommaso, our host was a delight to work with. He was attentive, gave us great information and was available for any questions during our stay. One of our highlights was having Donato cook for us for the 4 nights we were there. Five star meals and great personality. Highly reccomend this gem of a person for your stay.

A gorgeous villa with an indescribable view-you can just sit with a glass of wine and stare for hours. Plenty of privacy for everyone and several group gathering spaces both inside and out. Tomasso, our host, was always available to answer our questions and see to our needs. He made everything so easy. This is a memory we will all cherish forever 💕

Paradise in Tuscany

This experience with Villa Maria went so far beyond our expectations that it’s hard to put into words. Tommaso was a never-ending help with the patience far beyond what we could’ve asked. The house was immaculate, the location prime, and the views never to be forgotten. Working with Marco and Tommaso was flawless and easy. Hope to go again

Return Visit Even Better

Our second visit to Villa Maria with extended family was every bit as magical as the first. We enjoyed evening dinners on the veranda, lounging by the pool and visiting the Tuscan hill towns. Our dinner prepared by chef Donato was exceptional…a highlight of the visit! Our host, Tommaso, was very helpful and available as needed.

The villa in the Italian hills did not disappoint. Even the flowers were blooming and abundant as they were in the photos. We enjoyed all aspects of the property…the well-maintained pool, the various dining spaces, and comfortable areas for visiting and reading. The newly renovated bathrooms were a great surprise. Tommaso, the on-property manager/owner was incredibly helpful and assisted us with many requests and valuable advice. The advice ranged from restaurant recommendations to helping with car mechanical issues. Tommaso is a wonderful host and seemed to enjoy his work.

We stayed for the week between Christmas and New Years and had an absolutely amazing time. The villa is beautiful and really spacious for our group of 10 people. Tom was so welcoming and helpful and a wonderful host. The location is perfect for exploring the area, so much to see and close enough to Florence for a day trip. We can't say enough good things about this wonderful spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Fabulous Holiday

This is a beautiful house with lots of space inside and out . The terrace has THE best view! The pool is beautiful and well maintained. There is a loggia with a shower room and table tennis table for those who want to stay out of the sun. The tennis court is great with a beautiful even bounce. The bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms and air con have been upgraded and there are mosquito nets for the windows. The kitchen is well equipped , there is a great bbq, and everything works. Donato cooked a resplendent feast for us all two of the nights we were there. It was excellent. Tommaso is a perfect host: there when you need anything but unobtrusive. Excellent recommendations for restaurants and shops . We had a great family holiday and highly recommend.

THE BEST WEEK EVER

Wow! What can I say? We had the most surreal, wonderful week at Tommassos house in Tuscany. The pictures do not do it justice. The views from the property are from a movie! Donato the chef was amazing. An absolute MUST. We wish we had him more! Prepared the most delicious Italian authentic food. Tommasso is a delight. A wonderful host. Best rental we have ever stayed in. If we get the chance to come back to Italy we would love to stay here again. Every morning we would walk down the Cyprus tree drive to get coffee (5 min walk). It was perfect. Thank you so much.

An authentic Tuscan experience

My family and I recently stayed at the villa and had an incredible experience. Our host Tomasso was super attentive, knowledgeable and very helpful when it came to navigating travel in the area. We also hired Chef Donato for dinners and his food was incredible - I highly recommend him! The property is family friendly - we had children with us and they loved using the outdoor pool and soccer field. We did not rent a car but I would suggest it for those looking to do daytrips outside of the town. Thank you Marco and Tomasso for an incredible tuscan experience!

Under the Tuscan Sun

Marco and his son Tomasso are wonderful hosts! The Villa is amazing and we loved our time there. We spent every other day relaxing at the pool, playing tennis and ping pong in the pool house. We were two families with 5 kids all age19-22. We also hired a private chef, Donnato, who prepared two fabulous meals paired with wine, which we highly recommend. The Villa experience was definitely a highlight of our trip to Italy and we look forward to staying there again. Thank you Marco and Tomasso!!

An Unforgettable Stay.

My husband and I chose Villa Maria to host both of our families and it was the perfect place for a very intimate wedding celebration (14 people total). Tommaso was an incredible host. He checked in on us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We needed a steamer, he ordered one and it was there the next day. He was kind enough to show us his olive grove near by and gave us lots of great information. Tommaso really enriched our Tuscan vacation with his wealth of knowledge and all of his recommendations. Chef Donato cooked two meals for us: a casual pizza dinner and a special 4 course menu for our wedding celebration. Every minute was incredible. The food was amazing and being able to enjoy the view from the outdoor dining table was perfect. Everyone loved walking down to the little market/coffee shop for breakfast and to pick up a few things for lunches. The tennis court was in perfect condition, the pool was fabulous and clean, and everyone enjoyed playing pingpong and pool. The AC in the bedrooms was amazing and the newly renovated bathrooms were a nice surprise. We can't say enough good things about our stay at Villa Maria! Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

Beautiful Home in a Spectacular Setting

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Maria! The house lived up to all the reviews and photos, and the view was stunning. The location was very convenient. We especially liked being able to walk to town for coffee and pastries each morning, and having the train station so close made it easy to get to Florence. Like many others, we had Donato cook for us 2 nights. We had arranged to have him come our first night, and this was a life saver since, due to flight issues, we didn't arrive until quite late. The food was amazing, and there was enough left each time for lunch and dinner the next day. I would recommend that everyone have him cook at least once during their stay. Thank you for a wonderful time!

Wonderful Tuscan Retreat

We just got back from a week's stay at Villa Maria and it exceeded my expectations in all respects. We were a group of 9 (2 families with a total of 5 teenagers) and the villa provided ample space for us all to relax together without stepping on each other's toes. The villa is exactly as pictured on the site. The pool is beautiful and the outdoor bathroom/shower was perfect. The tennis court was beautifully maintained. The house remained cool even through the hot July days and we were never uncomfortable at night. Morando took wonderful care of us and our first night's dinner by Donato was a highlight. As other reviewers have noted, the villa is so nice that it's hard to leave to see the other wonderful sites of Tuscany. We'll have to come back for another trip to see the rest!

Absolutely Fabulous

I booked this villa for family and friends because I loved the photos. Amazingly, the photos don't do it justice. The grounds are immaculate, the house is warm and inviting and the views from the terrace and pool decks are stunning. We had the most marvelous week. We toured a bit, went horseback riding, walked to the village, but mostly relaxed by the pool and enjoyed the villa. We had Donato cook for us two nights, which was excellent. Marco and Tomasso were wonderful hosts. There was great communication leading up to our stay and daily check-ins while we were there to make sure all was going well. Thank you both for sharing this wonderful spot and providing treasured memories for all ten of us. We hope to come back!

Magnificent Villa Maria

We had the most wonderful family vacation in Villa Maria! All 11 of us hated to leave. The property and villa cannot be outdone. The Villa is beautiful, charming and very spacious with ample room for all of us. The property itself is stunning and meticulously maintains with gorgeous and relaxing views. We all enjoyed the pool and the lighted sports court allowed for late night tennis and soccer games. Tomasso is the best VRBO host we've ever encountered as he is engaging, informative and was responsive to every question and need we had. As others have mentioned Chef Donato is a gem that should not be missed. He is a fabulous cook with some of the best food we have ever tasted. He works hard to meet requests as we had two family members that are gluten free. Book Villa Maria...you will leave with happy hearts and wonderful memories.

Tuscan Hospitality at its Finest

It’s very difficult to choose only one aspect of this stay that our family enjoyed most - the glorious views of the valley below, the beautiful pool area with umbrellas and loungers and soft towels, the immaculate house and grounds with fragrant flowers on arbors, the comfortable beds with finishes like hand-carved wooden headboards, the soccer pitch on which my teenagers spent hours running around, brand-new modern bathrooms with rain shower heads, the list goes on. Even with all of that, the real standout at Villa Maria is the warm hospitality extended by the hosts, Marco and Tommaso. Our group included grandparents, parents, aunts/uncles, teenagers and a nine month old baby, so a wide variety of needs. Our hosts communicated with us prior to our arrival to ensure that we would have everything we would need ahead of time (key as we arrived on a Sunday and many stores were closed that day which we would not have known). The walk-through at check-in was thorough and well thought out. And during our stay, Tommaso was incredibly helpful to answer any questions we had and to offer advice and assistance. Additionally, we hired Chef Donato to provide some of our dinners and lunches and as many other reviewers have said, he was amazing at every meal. I’m not sure when I will ever eat so well again. So, if you are considering staying at this jewel to bask in the Tuscan countryside, by all means, book it.

Amazing Experience

We had a great experience. There were 6 couples and the villa never seemed fully occupied. The setting was surreal looking out to the gorgeous Tuscan countryside. Tomaso was there for our every need. He provided rides to and from the train for some, took us for a tour of his family's olive farm, and became part of our family of friends. Donato prepared 3 of our dinners for the week's stay and each meal was delicious and perfectly prepared. Not having to cook or go out in the evening was a real treat. Side trips to Florence, Sienna ,San Gimignano, and area wineries were most accessible. Hiking trails were right out back. The walk into town for essentials was only a few minutes out the gate. The group all highly recommend Villa Maria as the perfect way to connect to the essence of Tuscan life.

Great place for relaxing break

Everyone in our group enjoyed staying at the beautiful property during a holiday with my wife's family (8 adults and 6 children). The house is plenty big enough with good size bedrooms and good living spaces as well as useful outdoor space. It was a shame that no welcome pack was provided unlike the ones you get at other properties - maybe a bottle of wine and some milk and bread would have been a nice touch. During our stay (August 2023) the temperatures hit 38-40 degrees centigrade and it meant the bedrooms (no air conditioning) were really hot at night even with ceiling fans. We did request freestanding fans but none were made available. The swimming pool is large and clean and warm - the children and adults loved spending time in the pool to cool off! As we were on holiday in August the mosquitoes and flies were a big nuisance and the whole group got bitten plenty so I'd recommend good bug spray and burning a candle at night!! The walk into town is via a dusty track and the local town has a basic shop. To go to good eateries you will need to drive. That said the property is a great location for getting to Florence. The tennis court and football pitch was fantastic and enjoyed by many of the family. The view from the property was breathtaking also. In summary if the property had air conditioning in the bedrooms (you pay for electricity during your stay anyway!) then it would be 5 stars. Certainly the host Tomasso was really friendly and full of good tips!

About the host

Hosted by Marco or Tommaso

Host profile image
My family has more than 12000 olive trees nearby and produce olive oil.

Why they chose this property

This was our family's country villa since the 60's and due to the fact that we don't use it anymore (because every new family has his own country house) we rent it.

What makes this property unique

The real place it's a lot better than the photos let you imagine. You can read the rewiews and be sure you don't be disappointed by this fantastic place. You pay 1/2 than to stay in a 4 star hotel in Florence and you are in an unforgottable private villa with pool and a beautiful enlightened tennis court. This is a practical place to visit all the Tuscany.
