Wow! What an extraordinary time we’ve had at Villa Albizi! One week of beauty, attentive service and the most delicious meals.

Thank you for the amazing week. Harsha can’t thank you enough for your help, and kindness have been a blessing all this days! Tommaso I want to thank you for the beautiful, gourmet meat, your cooking is a slice of heaven! Every single meal was delicious! From the Montreal family

Beautiful historic Villa with modern accommodations. Great location if you plan on staying at the villa and enjoy amenities. Great food and service from the chef and staff. Many thanks to Tommaso and Harsha. Jean Robichaud

What an amazing and unforgettable experience we had. Our views and thoughts about the saying “under the Tuscan Sun” will always be of Villa Albizi. To all the staff, thank you for making us feel at home. Everything was spectacular, from the house, the food, every other thing. Thank you again and best wishes to all The Suarez family

It's hard to express in words how special our experience here has been. Between the attention to detail, the spectacular views, the overwhelmingly impressive service, the Michelin chef quality, and many more, this trip has everything & more we needed. Tommaso was superb. Not only his talent to cooking, but his warm heart, his engaging personality & his sense of humour. There’s no better way to start our mornings than waking up to Harsha cooking fresh eggs & making us fresh cups of coffee. If we were to define hard working & service, we would quickly name Harsha. He’s always willing to lend a smile. We cannot say enough about him. Rodick is kind & tends a beautiful garden. Assuta quietly kept the home exceptionally clean. She was quick to lend a smile. This villa brought a mix of country and class. No jet leg will stop you from quickly adapting the Italian beauty right in front of your eyes. We would come back here. Our hearts are full. This place is special & we leave many memories here awaiting our return. The Arthur clan

Our whole family had the pleasure of staying at Villa Albizi in May 2024. Don't think twice before booking this experience! From the amazing Michelin Star meals by Tommaso to the always smiling and helpful Harsha you are truly pampered the entire time! The views are absolutely stunning and the architecture of the house is amazing. A truly 5 star experience you will not regret! Julia Hyldhal

There are no words that can adequately describe the tranquillity and beauty of Villa Albizi – and the regenerative quality of experiencing a weeklong holiday at the Villa. The family and friends of Sarah Hagerty were treated to a week of fun and relaxation that was punctuated by extraordinary meals prepared by world class chefs and staff who are clearly motivated to please their guests to an exceptional level. The talent and creativity of the head chef, Tommaso, is only eclipsed by his good nature and eagerness to make all guests feel the comfort of his hospitality. Being well off the beaten path, the Villa offered the opportunity to unplug and enjoy the beauty of nature which is even more pronounced within the Tuscan countryside. We appreciated the many activities offered on the grounds, from the swimming pool to the hot tub, and the outdoor exercise equipment to the wellness spa. The location also allowed our group to take day trips within Tuscany to enjoy vineyards, wineries, olive gardens, truffle farms and quaint villages. We enjoyed great variations in the Italian spring – from warm sunshine to nourishing drizzles that would pitter patter offthe clay tile roofs – complimenting the birdsong to create nature's greatest symphony. The Sarah Hagerty Group is eternally grateful for our wonderful experience at Villa Albizi and we wish nothing but the best to the property's owners and staff as they continue to host friends and families from around the world for generations to come. Greetings, the Hagerty family

Our time here was magical! The food was inventive, beautifully presented, and fantastic. Hasan, our house manager was organized, friendly, with perfect English, and made a fantastic breakfast. and spectacular dinner drinks. Radik, the groundskeeper, kept the Villa immaculate and was so helpful. Truly an ideal week in a perfect spot, with lovely staff!

Villa Albizi was a most wonderful experience for our family... four generations! Upon our arrival, the views were just beautiful. Such a serene and peaceful setting.. and the chapel! What a sweet blessing, to make us feel at home. Thank you Tomasso, Hausha and Radika! The gourmet meals were super and the presentation was just gorgeous. Truly cannot say everything about the delicious food! W had such a wonderful time on the pasta-making lessons and then enjoyed the fruit of our labor for lunch! Thomasso and Haisha were fantastic, we highly recommend this class. Also wine tasting and picnic lunch at the local vineyard.. a must! Thank you for a beautiful stay. God bless you all! The Chico family, USA The Smith family, USA The David family, USA The Champion de Crespigny family, England"

Thank you so much to the kitchen, grounds, and house staff for making this such a beautiful trip. This was some of the most delicious food I have ever had. The pistachio tiramisú was the best tiramisù I have ever had and is in the top 5 things I have ever tasted. You all were so nice and made this house feel like a home. I wish you all many blessings and happiness. You all will continue to stay in my thoughts and prayers. With Love, Shae, Sela

Mario and Tommaso, Thank you! Gracias, gracias gracias! Amore always, Kevin

The De Bens and Hasham families had a wonderful time at Villa Albizi. The views were spectacular, the food fresh and delicious and the staff attentive to our needs. We created amazing memories as a family and enjoyed our first trip to Tuscany immensely. Grazie mille!

The Corso Family and Greenway Family LOVED our stay! Tommaso and Mariah were fantastic and made our time here so special. We visited several local towns including San Gimignano, Siena, Florence, Monticello...!The forest here is amazing - Wine, great views and even better service! We can't wait to come back someday. This was the perfect place for our families to relax, rest and unwind. Everything was great! Thanks so very much!

Arriving at the Villa Albizi from Rome we were met by the Villa Team. We were helped with our own bags and shown around the house. The Decor speaks of real Italian style and everything we saw added pleasure to our day. Each bedroom has a style of its own that leads seamlessy through the property unitying the house with the essence of home. The attention to detail, especially the daily setting for the dining table, reflects the sense of the Tuscan countryside. All the necessary things are here, white posh towels, wonderful bed linen and practical furniture. The housekeeper made us feel that nothing was too much trouble - always providing us with exactly what we wanted and always with a smile. And yet.. there is more..to describe the villa and all its beauties and to say more, would not do justice to the centre of the Villa Albizi experience. For what does Tuscany have to offer that could be better than its food and wine? Everything we have eaten and drunk has been sourced locally, has been prepared with love and served to show off its excellence. The choice of wine has been delicious. An entire page would not be enough to capture the delights of our food, every single meal, without exception has been squisito. Bravo Tommaso! Brava Villa Albizi!

Villa Albizi was fantastic. It is hidden in the hills of Tuscany, but once you are there it feels like you have the mountains to yourself. Drive slowly on the path to the house from the “main” road, it's an adventure. The house is something out of a storybook with castle-like steps inside. The beds were a little too firm for my liking, but we were never there to sleep anyway. We spent 99% of our time utilizing the large gathering tables outside and of course the pool area w/hot tub. Our house staff, Harsha & Chef Tommaso, were the absolute BEST! They made everything very easy during our stay. It might sound funny, but Harsha made the best eggs and set up a wonderful breakfast most days(our request), and Chef Tommaso exceeded our expectations with his masterful dishes that not only tasted divine but also had simple & elegant presentations. If you like meat, I highly recommend the Italian BBQ while there!!! We traveled every day to various towns and wineries. If you are from the US like we are, I recommend that you ship back wine from your visits as it was very simple and arrived 2-3 weeks after we were home. Also, less to carry through the airport or customs. Top 3 wineries: Call ahead always; (1) Castello di Verrazano, amazing views & amazing selection of wines. (2) Querceto di Castellina, small family operation. Very chill spot with good wines. (3) Badia a Coltibuono, best dining location for dinner, try the Cultus wine(Chianti Classico Riserva). The owner of the Villa was very attentive during our stay, available via WhatsApp, and gave great recommendations on places to dine & wine, she even was nice enough to put in the reservation a couple of times. Overall, this stay was a hit with our entire 16.

Buongiorno! We have very much enjoyed the house. Chef Tommaso’s dinners have been wonderful, elegant and delicious. Harsha has been attentive and served lovely breakfasts. We love the pool!

What a wonderful week! Grazie mille for the relaxing stay. We enjoyed the villa with its beautiful views! Best of all, of course, was the food! Sara and Linda spoiled us at every meal with the finest, authentic Tuscan flavours. They will be missed! Arrivederci!! <3

We had a family trip to Italy and spent a week together at Villa Albizi. Through an extensive search of villas and vendors, I selected Villa Albizi for our family. The value of TN&M and Villa Albizi were fantastic in comparison to other villas I looked at and the services received. We were a party of 14 (ages 4 - 77) and Villa Albizi checked all the boxes. The pool area is slightly away from the villa and had a gate that closed at the entrance which was great for safety of the children. From the moment we arrived we knew we were going to have a special experience. The villa is at the center of a 16th century hamlet nestled in the Tuscan hills that the owners lovingly restored over three years. All the beautiful original stone work remained and the renovations married all the modern conveniences (American quality AC throughout the house) with the original structure. The interior design has the beautiful and understated european elegance. Each bedroom is generously sized with en suite bathroom. The location of the villa is perfectly nestled and secluded in the hills of Tuscany, but was also centrally located and easily accessible for all the day trips. The surrounding grounds and gardens are beautifully maintained and we were able to appreciate the sounds of nature, the solitude, and the neighboring hamlets you can view across the valley. The owners and the staff Sara and Linda made the experience truly feel like a family setting. Every morning we started our day with a sumptuous breakfast buffet spread with fresh fruit, baked goods, and different entrees. We also did dinner on six nights and had several lunches and a cooking class that was so memorable. Just a few minutes before each meal Sara and Linda would go to the garden to pick the herbs to finish the dishes. The fresh basil and the pillowy sage each meal was better than the last. We enjoyed almost every meal outside on the veranda and really enjoyed our time together as a family. My wife and I have to both eat gluten free and one of the boys in our family has a nut allergy. Sara and Linda were able to easily accommodate everyone's dietary restrictions and maintain the true Tuscan and Italian experience. It was such a relaxing and wonderful experience, and everyone in our party felt pampered. As you look through all the villa options, I highly recommend you select TN&M and Villa Albizi for your holiday.

We had a fantastic vacation, 2 weeks in paradise! Linda and Sara are amazing!! The food was incredible and the Tuscan sun was just as promised, i will always remember this vacation. Thank you! For Sandra and Linda...please move to Miami? <3 We will be back

I can high recommend Villa Albizi in Montefienali. The villa is in a secluded location in the middle of the countryside with beautiful views, the peace and tranquillity is unsurpassed. It was obvious that much care and attention has gone in to restoring the Montefienali hamlet to it’s original beauty. A lot of attention to detail has also gone in to Villa Albizi interior design and decor, we all felt extremely at home. All the rooms are kept very clean and the gardens and swimming area is stunning. We were made extremely welcome and the food prepared by both Chef Sara and Linda was very tasty. They both worked very hard and if we had any special requests regarding food they were both more than willing to help. A dream holiday!

I believe you would like us to give you some feedback on our stay at Villa Albizi. I think I can safely say that all our family had a wonderful holiday there. For us it was a week of celebrations. Our 50th wedding anniversary. A 50th birthday, and our son’s 48th birthday, plus our daughter’s 46th birthday, so you will understand for us it was a very special week. Villa Albizi didn’t disappoint, we had a very happy time. I do want to say that Sara made our stay even more special with her gorgeous meals, which we looked forward to, and I must say her beautiful arrangements of flowers on the dining table were really appreciated. Sara gave 100% care and attention to looking after us, she really shows such attention to detail. And we all are very grateful to her. I also want to say Linda was good too. The area surrounding the villa was extremely peaceful and beautiful to look at, and the facilities within the villa met all our requirements.

I call Villa Albizi my home away from home. Hosting retreats is my love and passion. There is no better place to rest, restore and rejuvenate your life and wellbeing than at Villa Albizi. This is my place.. and I will forever return year after year. Tommaso, Ilaria, and the entire staff are family to me.

We stayed Villa Albizi with a family of 12 to celebrate my parents Golden wedding anniversary!! The party was organised immaculately, food scrumptious, swayed to the live music, and the setting fit for a special occasion like it was. I would like to specially thank Sara and Linda our chefs at the villa for an outstanding job done for every meal! The food was the best we had in Italy!!

We have so enjoyed your wonderful hospitality and the food was the best!!! The place was really fantastic and relaxing and we enjoyed the stay. Thank you...

Fantastic holiday, unforgettable. Sara and Marta, thank you for all the beautiful meals and amazing service. Kate and Paul -- Many thank for a wonderful week. The villa, the food + the hosts were wonderful! Eemonn

Thank you for a wonderful family vacation in Tuscany. It was made perfect by the wonderful villa and meals prepared by our wonderful chefs Sara and Marta. Till we meet again. Our best, The Tanners

Thank you Villa Albizi for an Amazing week! Fantastic food and service, weather and incredible views showing the best of Toscana. Our family enjoyed it very much. Look forward to come back!

Villa Albizi is a beautifully designed large villa, very spacious yet intimate for our group of 13 people. This is my first time to try a full service villa, and the service of Villa Albizi, from the owners to the concierges , was exemplary. In particular, the villa chef Sara did an amazing job with every meal she made for us. A memorable week for everyone of us!

We loved our stay at Villa Albizzi It was a perfect villa for our group of 11 adults. The staff made us feel like family and the food was outstanding. We couldn't wait to come back at night to see what Sarah had cooked for us ! The villa was in a great location for day trips to Florence, Sienna an San Gimignano and the local vineyard was beautiful and had great wine. We will definitely come back and highly recommend this villa!
