We had an amazing time at Casa Virginia!
Set in a beautiful location looking onto the Tuscan hills, it was such a wonderful, peaceful villa to relax at.
The villa was sparkling clean, and spacious for us five adults. And the pool area was a great place to relax and enjoy the outdoors. We loved the availability of several outdoor areas to sit.

Within an hours drive are many charming villages.
Nearby Lecchi had a small grocery store, a cafe for cappuccinos, and a great restaurant called Malborghetto.
The quaint town of Radda, about a 20 minute drive, had a larger grocery store, nice restaurants, and lovely small shops.

Our hosts Elena and Massimo couldn’t have been lovelier! Very welcoming, kind, and helpful. They even opened up their pool a little earlier than usual for our stay. Very quick to respond to any questions and genuinely cared about us having a wonderful stay.

We would highly recommend Casa Virginia to anyone looking for a beautiful stay in Tuscany!

We stayed at the villa for a week with three teenagers, and it was a wonderfully relaxing holiday. From here, we were able to explore all the beautiful Tuscan villages, and the restaurant next door was very authentic and absolutely delicious! The kids really liked the pizza oven, and our pizzas at sunset were a highlight. Elena had given us some good tips and was very friendly and accommodating. We will be happy to come back again.

Top Anlage!

Cudowne miejsce, chociaż to był już masz 4 wyjazd do Toskanii dopiero tym razem trafiliśmy w 10! Cudowne miejsce, przesympatyczni właściciele a lokalizacja - po prostu bajka. Malusieńka miejscowość, na szcycie wzgórza, z dała od wszystkiego, za to z klimatem jak z filmu. Willa z wielkim urokiem, w pięknym ogrodzie z basenem i z widokiem na okolice. Właściciele zatroszczyli się o nas, udzielając wszelkich informacji i wskazówek. To jest takie miejsce do którego na pewno chce się wrócić, nie trzeba szukać innego!

W miasteczku jest restauracja - z przepysznym jedzeniem, chociaż ceny trochę wygórowane. Warto zrobić rezerwacje szczególnie w weekend.

We had a great week at the villa to celebrate a special birthday. The house is exactly as the pictures showed and the pool is even better than we expected. It is so well equipped and the hosts ere so welcoming and helpful. Such lovely Tuscan views from the house and the pool. We would absolutely recommend it.

We enjoyed a couple of meals at the restaurant in the village and also did the wine tour and tasting at the San Sano winery across the road from the villa. While the short drive to the tour was a bit uncomfortable it was an interesting visit and we would definitely recommend the tasting, which you can do without the tour first. The wines are accompanied by a plate of bread, meats and cheeses.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful villa. When we arrived we were met by Elena who walked us around and made sure we were knew everything we needed, which was a great start. The property is in beautiful grounds with wonderful outlooks all over the Tuscan hills. It is so peaceful and quiet. The house was spotless and well furnished and equipped.

The pool area is just incredible. We spent a while trying to find a pool in the area that had a shallow end for our children (9 and 12) so they could play, as well as swim, and this was perfect. We went in the pool every day of our stay, and there were so many loungers and umbrellas to choose from.

The house is in a wonderful location, with spectacular drives, we explored somewhere new for food every day. Thank you for a wonderful week!

We loved Radda in Chianti, Pizza Hot was our favourite for food and Lo Sdrucciolo for the best gelato! The restaurant within walking distance of the house was one of our favourites, lovely food and such friendly service. We also loved the food at Osteria Al Ponte in Gaiole, very special.

This was the fifth time we rented a house in Toscana, this time for two weeks. Casa Virginia is a nice place to have a relaxed holiday. Many good smallish cities/towns to visit near by.
The house itself is very nice with good cocking possibilities, we also loved the pool area. The scenery is gorgeous. Also there are many pots of flowers and plants which is not so usual…

UNESCO World heritage site Pianza and Radda. If you have not visited Siena before you should naturally do that too. But I find Siena a bit too touristy La Grotta della Rana restaurant in San Sano is a must during your visit. It’s so conveniently located, just a very short walk from Casa Virginia.

Maison très belle et très confortable. Beaucoup d'espace pour jouer avec un enfant en bas âge. Le lieu est bien clôturé. La piscine est bien aménagée et idéale pour un enfant.
Notre plaisir fût de pouvoir être dehors, et de profiter des différents lieux pour se poser, déjeuner.
Voir le magnifique couché de soleil Toscan.
Le village est beau et les habitants très acceuillant.

Nous avons beaucoup apprécièla ville de SIENE. Les domaines viticoles. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié la visite et la dégustation du domaine Castello di Brolio. Nous recommandons le restaurant qui se trouve à côté de la Casa Virginia. Notre coup de coeur et le restaurant Osteria del Pontz à Gailole in Chianti

We stayed as 2 couples in Casa Virginia and it met all of our expectations, and more. Maria Elena was a great host, helpful when needed and didn't bother us when not. The location was great for us, out of the way and quiet, about a 20min drive to Radda for provisions etc but never a problem as we stocked up on our way back form days out. The views from and around the villa are typical fabulous Tuscany and we will definitely be returning and would heartily recommend staying in this beautiful villa.

Check out Grotta Del Rana in the village, fabulous food and a nice little bar on the side with great choice of drinks and a small deli, perfect Tuscany vibe.

Elena and Massimo went beyond expectations to welcome us and help make our stay enjoyable.
Pool was lovely, villa comfortable and spacious, we even cooked pizza in the outdoor oven!

Tasting menu at Castle Brolio was superb. We loved Siena.

A great place to spend relaxed time with adult family. Wonderful views with local walks & restaurants & vineyard in the village.

Restaurant in Lecchi, a nearby village, excellent food & very friendly owners. Vineyard in the village, casual evening with simple food, friendly family who had time to chat about the history & wines. A lovely day in Siena with an easy 35 minute drive.

We hebben een heerlijke week gehad in Casa Virginia, alles was tot in de puntjes verzorgd. Het zwembad was fantastisch. Host zeer responsief en gaf goede tips. Uitzicht en directe omgeving prachtig.

We hebben allerlei uitjes gedaan vanuit San Sano. Oa de Diborrato waterval en Siena waren erg leuk. We hebben gegeten in het dorp en in een dorp verderop (Lecchi), de laatste was onze favoriet!

Quite possibly one of the most fantastic vacations we have taken as a family; in no short part because of Elena and Massismo. Not only was the location completely as described prior to arrival - it was superior. After arrival their assistance with planning our adventures, combined with fantastic communication, ensured a great stay. This was possibly the hardest review I have written - as I am torn between being honest.. and lying to ensure noone ever books this again so I have no competition. Honesty, however, prevails.

Too many to share here. The village of San Santo was small and quaint - but exactly what we wanted. The winery tour to nearby Castello di Selvole was definitely (graciously arranged by Elena) was certainly a high point.

It’s a beautiful villa inside and out. It’s the last villa in a small village. You have sweeping views of the rolling hills of Tuscany, with vineyards, olive trees, and other small villages. And you can walk from the villa through a charming small village with one restaurant ( it’s pretty good, too!)

Inside, my favorite room was a sun room, something I’ve not seen in Italy before. It had nice light from morning until the afterglow of sunset was finished. (Most villas are built into the hillside and are quite dark inside.) The villa had every appliance, tool, dish, everything you could possibly need. I’ve never seen a condo or home rental so well-stocked.

Outside, there are three distinct areas you can choose to sit based on whether you want sun, want a breeze or not. Two of them are covered if there’s rain. That doesn’t count the pool area, which is huge—the pool itself was plenty big enough for me to keep up my home routine of swimming laps.

Elena and Massimo were wonderful hosts, offering to bring anything we need and bringing us gifts we didn’t expect. Elena encouraged me to contact her on WhatsApp anytime I had any question.

Malborghetto in nearby Lecchi is minutes away. It’s so good, I don’t understand why it doesn’t have a Michelin star. Great food, very friendly, English spoken fluently. Radda is my favorite town in Tuscany. It’s a 15 minute drive from Casa Virginia. It’s just large enough to have several good restaurants, a wonderful deli/grocery, Casa Porciatti and its companion wine store where Riccardo will quickly learn your taste preferences and recommend wines that you will love. He will teach you if you want about Italian wines and which ones go best with which foods. Radda is small enough that it is not overrun with tourists. In fact, most of the tourists seem to be Italians.
