Wonderful Stay!
We had a wonderful time at Villa Torre! The views were amazing and Jacopo and Beatrice were so helpful with anything we needed! They cooked a few breakfasts and dinners for us which were delicious and the cooking class with them was very fun! We even made homemade pasta! We spent so much time outside with the views! A few more comfy chairs out there or up in the tower would be nice but we found plenty of places to sit! I do recommend having a car to get around - the walk to the nearest town is a little scary walking along a 2 lane road with no shoulder! We had a car starting the second day and loved exploring the area!

Gorgeous Villa with Outstanding Hosts!
We stayed with a group of 9 ages 11-75. The Villas was gorgeous and you cannot imagine the sunset views. Our hosts were outstanding and they made great recommendations for places to eat and made reservations for our large group. I would recommend the welcome dinner. It made it so easy to arrive to the house and have that first meal taken care of for you. All of their recommendations were spot on and our group loved the experience. It is also a great location in Tuscany and very close and easy to get to Florence.

Amazing experience, no words to describe
We had 3 families, 14 people total, who have been life long friends visiting Italy and I can not put into words how great our experience was. The house was amazing. Convenient to Florence and the small towns around Florence. Lots of room, incredibly clean and comfortable. However, what really made the trip so special were our hosts, Beatrice and Jacopo. From the breakfast every morning, to the welcome dinner, cooking class and last night in Florence BBQ, they exceeded all expectations. I strongly encourage anyone looking for a great Tuscany experience to stay at this wonderful villa and enjoy the beautiful scenery, great food and wine, and to take advantage of all that your wonderful host can offer.

A beautiful villa
There is nothing negative to say. Our group of 12 friends could not have been happier. As has been said so often, the hosts were incredible. The breakfasts and suppers were excellent as were the restaurant recommendations. One of the highlights was the olive grove and pressing tour on the property next door.

Excellent location
Nestled in Chianti country, this beautiful villa offers an idyllic setting, access to delicious food and wine and is less than 1 hour to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and many picturesque Tuscan hill towns. It is slightly more than an hour to Lucca and Arezzo if these two less crowded gems are on your radar. The hosts (Jacopo and Beatrice are welcoming and helpful.

Family Tuscany week
We loved the property and our lovely hosts, Beatrice and Jacopo. Traffic from a nearby road the only thing which marred the otherwise perfect property for a family like ours, 13 people, ages 8-83. Beatrice and Jacopo prepared 3 wonderful meals for us and the meal on the Saturday of our arrival was particularly appreciated. The 8 year old, in particular, loved the pool. All in all it was a delightful week.

Jacopo and Beatrice were great hosts and were always available to answer any needs we might have. The Villa became our home for all 18 of our family while we celebrated our 55th anniversary. It was spacious and so close to Florence and the many other beautiful towns. The cooking class is a must as was the wine tasting. If you want a magical time in Tuscany, this is the place to create wonderful memories for your family. You will not be disappointed. Joan and Tom and family

Incredible Week!!
My husband and I booked this property more than one year ago for a cousins trip to Italy, fifteen of us in all, ages ranging from 18 to 63. We read all of the reviews and hoped this would be the right place for our family to spend quality time together in Tuscany. Well, the reviews were spot on and we were thrilled!! The villa was gorgeous and comfortable. Our group loved the pool, the tower for beautiful sunsets and absolutely fabulous meals at the outdoor table. We chose to have breakfast prepared each day before departing on day trips to Florence, Siena, Pisa and Lucca and the Welcome, Tuscan and BBQ dinners during our stay. Each meal was incredible!! There are not enough adjectives to describe our outstanding hosts, Beatrice and Jacopo!! Dedicated, friendly, responsive, gracious, fabulous cooks, a simply wonderful couple who made our stay perfect in every way possible!! We could not be more grateful to you both for all that you did for our family, grazie mille!! Look no further, book it and enjoy, you will be glad you did, we certainly are!!

Spectacular!!!
The home was spectacular, but the hosts were the icing on the cake. Jacapo and Beatrice did a wonderful job, and the experience wouldn't have been the same without them. they are very helpful and good people. Close to Florence, but with a beautiful country setting. I suggest: -breakfast by J and B -a few dinners by J and B -the cooking class by J and B -let J and B arrange local transportation -dinner at the place about a mile away (at Machiavelli's house) but I can't remember the name -don't rent bikes, the roads aren't made for them we will be going back.

Dream Trip to Tuscany!!
The Villa exceeded my expectation in every way! The views and sunsets from the terrace and tower were unbelievably stunning. Beatrice and Jacopo were amazing hosts who made sure our stay was great! Highly recommend the welcome dinner and the cooking class! Both were fun and absolutely delicious. The Villa is in a great location where you can visit Florence, Lucca, Siena, San Gimignano and many more small towns each offering their own charm and fun! I am not usually an early riser but it was well worth the extra half hour of sleep to enjoy Beatrice's hearty breakfasts. If your thinking of a trip to Tuscany this is THE place to stay! Lots of space to spread out in the living areas with 8 well appointed bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. I highly recommend this Villa! Beatrice and Jacopo treated us like family! I hope I get to go back someday!

Vacation of a lifetime
Our stay at "Torre in Chiati" was truly a dream come true - wouldn't change one thing about our time at this incredibly beautiful and highly spacious and functional Villa, except to stay longer. The surrounding Tuscan scenery and all of the Villa amenities were fantastic. Our hosts, Bea and Jacopo, were outstanding - we so appreciated their warm and sincere hospitality - they are truly the magical spirit that makes the Villa the very special and fantastic paradise that it is. Also, we really enjoyed Bea and Jacopo's delicious dinners (one of three being their cooking class) on the Villa patio, enjoying each other's company, watching the spectacular sunsets and listening to music. Our group of 16 people ranged from 24 - 65 years old - we all came away with the same feelings, i.e., how blessed and fortunate we were to be able to experience such a phenomenal and memorable vacation at Torre in Chianti.

Perfect for Families!
We had a group of 13 stay here - 7 adults and 6 kids between the ages of 2-11. It was perfect! The house is gorgeous inside and out. Every bedroom had its own bathroom which was fantastic. The beds were comfortable and the a/c was great during the hot summer evenings! The pool was excellent, especially with kids! Beatrice and Jacoba were extremely gracious and helpful. They set up a shuttle to and from the Florence train station for us which worked out great. It is helpful to have a car however as the streets are narrow and not friendly for walking about. There are many good restaurants in the surrounding area and any number of great day trips. Our family LOVED San Gimignano-well worth the 45 minute drive! We would love to come back!!

My Tuscany Holiday
We were a group of thirteen friends who wanted to go to Italy and explore the area around Florence. When looking for a Villa the size of the villa, the number of bedrooms and baths as well as an outdoor space and pool were important to us and I can tell you this Villa did not disappoint any of us! The hosts Jacopo and Beatrice helped in numerous ways that made our stay even better. They prepared a welcome dinner and numerous other dinners and breakfast. The BBQ is not to be missed as well as our last evenings dinner. They also catered to guest with food restrictions as well as vegetarians. The food and desserts were delicious. They also set up delivery from the airport and back again as numerous other pick ups as well. Jacopo and Beatrice were a delight and we Thank Them for making our holiday much more special!

Huge home with central location
What amazing hosts! The food, the recommendations, the responsiveness were all perfect. Thank you so much for making everything so nice. The stay was excellent but I do want to note for future guests two things. One there is a lower level of the home that was occupied by the owner during our stay. He wasn’t intrusive at all and it’s definitely separated from the rest of the house but it took us by surprise when we saw the activity and a stranger working and repairing things outside. Second, the beds aren’t the best. Considering the cost, the home definitely could use an investment in new mattresses in several of the rooms. I would definitely recommend!

Wonderful property for a large group. Private, serene, welcoming.
We had a group of 16 staying at the Villa in May of 2018. We loved having an en suite bathroom for every bedroom and Beatrice did a nice job making up queen sized beds in every room even though the web site said two of the rooms just had twin beds. (The twins were just pushed together and made up as one, but that worked.) The views from the villa are spectacular, especially from the widow's peak on top, which is a great place to watch sunset or sunrise or enjoy cocktails. The place was remarkably clean. The beds and bedding were comfortable and beautifully made up for our arrival. The hosts were very anxious to please and made two wonderful dinners for us. The selection of wine at the villa was great and reasonably priced. The location is also excellent. The village of San Casciano in Val di Pesa is charming. The proximity to Florence, Siena, Luca and Pisa is ideal for day trips. I would recommend this place whole heartedly to anyone needing to accommodate a large group in a blissful setting.

Beautiful house, awesome hosts.
We visited in June 2023 with our extended family of 18. The villa was spacious enough for all of us to eat, sleep and hang out. There is a wonderful pool, and to sit on the back porch and absorb the scenery is wonderful. This house is removed from Florence, but that is not a bad thing - it is cooler and nicer in the hills, thanks why Florence’s wealthy have always had villas there. We did not have cars due to the group size, so we used wonderful Tau Touring from Lucca for a 21 passenger bus. A few times we walked 20 minutes into Chiesa Nuova for gelato or surprisingly good pizza and sandwiches. So… the house is really nice, and hundreds of years old, but modernized. However, what really made the trip was that attentions of Jocopo and Beatrice. They stocked the house with groceries, cooked us delicious meals, led us in a cooking class, and were just such super lovely people. They were great at communicating and worked really hard to make our visit enjoyable. We were sad to say goodbye to them! You won’t regret staying here…

Amazingly Perfect for our family of 10
This villa was PERFECT for our family of ten. I chose this villa based on the proximity to Florence, but most importantly, because of what Jacobo and Beatrice have to offer. The two of them are AMAZING. Kind, so helpful and FABULOUS cooks. They scheduled (and rescheduled after a canceled flight) transportation to and from the airport and train station. They arranged for our rental car to be dropped off at the villa. They had our groceries delivered before we arrived and a very nice wine selection for us to choose from during our stay. But the best part of the entire trip was their food. Choose the welcome dinner. You will appreciate it after a long travel day. And last but not least, do the cooking class. We enjoyed it so much and multiple family members proclaimed it the BEST meal we had in Italy. It was amazing and the most perfect afternoon and evening together. It was our most favorite day of our entire holiday! I highly recommend this villa. Jacobo and Beatrice will take excellent care of you! We hope to be back soon!
