"An absolutely magical Christmas holiday in a perfect location! The house...well, really a main house with an incredibly spacious guest house... was beautifully appointed and spotless with plenty of room for our family (that included our two adult children and their spouses as well as an 8 month old baby) to gather - and to spread out.  The property feels like an authentic Tuscan villa....but better; the bedrooms each had new ensuite bathrooms and the new kitchen was well outfitted for us to be able to cook and serve wonderful holiday meals.  Even at that time of year, we were able to spend afternoons playing bocce and enjoying lunch on the well manicured grounds while soaking in the far-reaching views over rolling groves of olives and vineyards to nearby iconic hilltop towns.  Jeannine, the house manager, could not have been more accommodating and responsive.  Her warm welcome - complete with a delicious homemade lasagna and Tuscan Christmas cake - made us feel like we were visiting an old friend.  She worked very hard to make our Christmas holiday stay feel festive and comfortable...and she totally succeeded in every way.  We will be back for sure!"

"We absolutely loved our stay at this villa! It was just wonderful, and Luigi was a fantastic host! The views from every part of the villa are amazing! It was so fun to see all of the sheep each morning and watch the sunset in the evenings. We were fortunate enough to be in town for the olive festival in Montisi, the quaint little village just a few miles away. We had a blast! The recommended chef who cooked for us at the villa, Giancarlo from the Tuscan Chef, was incredible! What a fantastic recommendation! We also loved the food in town at Cantina 97. It was awesome! We hope that we can come back to this special villa again someday!"

" liked the grounds and views. did not liked limited use of spa service and confusing instructions about those services"

"This is an extremely lovely property. The grounds are beautiful. There is parking and a pool. Lots of little areas to sit and relax. The attention to detail is appreciated. Love the decor. The staff is helpful and the breakfast was very good! I highly tecommend! . "

"Luigi went above and beyond in providing suggestions of restaurants and things to do in the area. He was also helpful when we were have trouble calling our car rental….always willing to help out and answer questions. The home is very clean and has the old Italian rustic charm. The beds were comfortable. There is no AC but fans are provided for every room. There were beautiful sunsets every night by the pool. The views of the rolling Tuscan hills were spectacular. The color and intensity of the photos pictured online are a bit more vivid of the property and inside the home than in person, but we were still very happy with our stay. It is centrally located to many Tuscan villages. There is a great Gala grocery store in Sinalunga that has everything you need including a deli and bakery. There are endless castles, fortresses, grape fields, olive trees and cypress trees. "

"Great hotel! Very clean with a lot of extras! Will be back! "

"The property is beautiful and the host gracious but the bed was so hard we had to cut our stay short."

"We had stayed at this property for years before Jennifer purchased it. And do hope to continue. We appreciate the effort and care to details she put into updating it and providing an excellent experience. This property is well located to see numerous villages in the area."

"It’s difficult to describe just how fabulous Casa Marta is. The listing is completely accurate and the host could give a master class on how to host gracefully and with kindness. You will lack nothing staying here. The location is spectacular, easy to find, easy to park, easy to access. The view, WOW! The home, PERFECT! Easy access to local villages, larger cities, shopping, etc. You will not regret staying here. We already are dreaming of a return to Casa Marta!"
