Renter Rating: 5/5.

The houses were fine, albeit sparsely furnished.
In the house and in the bedrooms/bathrooms the light was insufficient for reading etc.(we were there in mid oktober). As we had planned to play bridge in the evenings (4 tables) we had a problem. This was solved by letting us play in a separate building, where we also had our evening meal.
The cooking was excellent and varied, as were the wines.
Our group will certainly be back!

Fantastic Home Base!

We have traveled Europe in the past and have moved locations every few days. It can get tiresome living out of a suitcase, so this time we decided to find a Villa where we could unpack our things and stay for the entire trip. The Villa was central to the areas we wanted to see, and we did day trips. Ventena Vechhia was perfect for this, and we are so glad that we spent the full three weeks at this location. Whether you want to spend some days relaxing at the villa or go off on a day-adventure in the Tuscany region, this truly was the perfect place to be. It really felt like home for us, and the people who own and operate this Villa made it even more special and memorable for us.

The unit we stayed in was the Corbezollo. It was perfect for the two of us, allowing us to cook when we wanted to, provided a patio with amazing views, and the pool directly below us. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was great. Lots of room overall. More importantly, we loved the time we spent with the owners and the staff, as well as meeting all the other travelers who stayed at the Villa. Twice a week they put on an amazing three course meal that is optional for you to take part in. We all gathered in a beautiful Tuscan dining room to experience fresh Italian food and fantastic local wines. It really felt like home to us, and we met amazing people around the table.

Also, make sure to ask the owners all the things they can do to make your stay even more amazing. They have many different things available that we took advantage of throughout the stay, like touring to a local vineyard they recommended and learning about homemade pasta. They are so accommodating and love when you are interested in learning more about the Italian culture.

I am recommending this place to all of my family and friends. We would love to return and do it all over again!

Grazie Mille!!

This Villa was a perfect place for us to holiday in completely relaxing surroundings. The location was very central. We had complete privacy but always felt that we could approach the very friendly owners for help and advice. The Villa is beautiful and perfect for two couples. Very well maintained and more than adequate utensils for allof our needs. With the permission of the owner I took a video of the villa and uploaded it to utube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o10zERxuXIM
