Villa Montelisi, With The most Unique View On Siena (6km)

A group of 6 friends. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. There was also a half bath. Very positive experience. Loved the Tuscan villa and beautiful scenery from each room. The wine tasting experience was excellent. Staff were very helpful. Recommend it highly. Would come back again!

We had an amazing stay - the villa was more than adequately stocked. We didn’t have a car so we planned to eat in every night. The Tuscan sunsets & views from this villa will be hard to beat. We enjoyed our wine tasting & learning more about The Estate from Lorenzo. The only thing we were not prepared for was taking the garbage to entrance of the estate which was about 1/2 mile from villa & virtually impossible without a car. Lorenzo was gracious to not charge us the 50 euros for not transporting the garbage. I would definitely stay here again!

Villa Montelisi is now part of our family history. Everything about our stay was wonderful. Our host Lavinia made check in easy even though we arrived late. The villa with its old world charm, high ceilings, and amazing views overwhelmed us. We loved waking up to a beautiful painting of the Tuscan countryside, the large windows, balconies and patios enhanced the view, making us feel like we were in a movie. The kitchen had all the modern conveniences, so making breakfast or a late night snack was easy. The property is only a 20 minute drive from the heart is Siena and only an hour from sites like Montepulciano, Arezzo, and Cortona. Lavinia’s restaurant recommendations did not disappoint. We enjoyed every place we tried. But my family especially loved our time together at the property. Playing pool in the downstairs sitting area, ping pong in the backyard overlooking the grapevines, and walking the property gave us precious time to just laugh and talk. I will never forget this place. It made our 30th anniversary celebration a lifelong memory.

Everything about the villa was perfect. Loved the property, the owners and the extra bonus of the wine tasting .

The Villa is in a beautiful setting, with views of the Tuscan countryside, as well as of Siena in the distance. The rooms were very comfortable, all with bathrooms, the whole place spotless, and the kitchen very well equipped. Perfect for a family or group of friends. One of the highlights of our trip was returning to Villa Montelisi at the end of the day. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Villa Montelisi is breathtaking - the views, the gardens, the whole estate is magical. We loved every minute soaking up the peaceful countryside. Lavinia was an amazing host - communicative, warm, and friendly. It was great learning about the family vineyards during our wine tasting with Lorenzo. Lavinia and Lorenzo, thank you for sharing your family home with us - it is a special place, indeed! Can’t recommend highly enough!

Gorgeous property in Tuscany and the hosts were exceptionally helpful and nice.

My family had an incredible stay with Lavinia & Lorenzo in their Villa Montelisi with beautiful views of their 300 acre property. They took care of us like family, offered perfect recommendations and ensured at every point of the trip that each one of our family members were taken care of. It’s hard to describe in word the beauty od this place. The property has vineyards, olive orchards, flowers, and a series of villas with Italian cypress lined driveways and ancient villas that have been lovingly restored to modernity. We stayed in Montelisi which had stunning views of Siena and the surrounding landscape. The walls of this villa were originally built in rhe 13th century! It provided a perfect jumping off point to visit Siena (15-20 min), San Gimignano (55 min), Cortona (55 min), Montepulciano (55 min), Pienza (55 min), Montegiorri (35 min), Florence (60 min). If you want to discover Tuscany, this is the perfect jumping off point. Be sure to have a wine tasting with Lorenzo, the wine he produced is some of the best we tasted on our trip! Especially fond of the 100% Sangiovese from the 50 year old estate vines. The olive oil is arguably the very best I’ve ever had, we enjoyed it every day and left with a case of 12 bottles to share with friends and family. Don’t go here with our visiting their butcher - visiting this place is an experience in itself! Their restaurant recommendations were on point, not tourist places, but genuine Osterias filled with locals. I gauge my trips on my desire to come home and the longer I stayed here the longer I wanted to stay. We will definitely come back and I can’t stress how important the human element is here - Lavinia and Lorenzo were AWESOME! We are eternally grateful for their hospitality and for creating a place where an Italian dream vacation comes true. 10 days and nights was not enough!

1. Spacious inside and outside for a comfortable stay 2. Location surrounded by vineyards with a view of Siena just a few kilometers away 3. The location close to Siena makes this a perfect base if you plan to visit all those fascinating hilltop towns of Tuscany that surround Siena in just one hour's drive distance. To visit this area, we would come gladly back with groups of up to 6 or 8 (3-4 couples).

7 friends met her from USA for a marvelous week. Lavinia was outstanding to get us settled. Lorenzo gave a fun wine tasting. The views, sunsets are beyond any photo can express. It is away from Siena so get a car or arrange a driver. We also had 2 dinners cooked at the villa during our stay- quite the experience from Chef Roddy and worth every penny.
