Our family adventure in Tuscany was perfect in every sense starting with the beautiful Il Troscione villa. The rooms are spectacular, bathrooms are renovated and gorgeous, kitchen has state of the art appliances, great living spaces, a sense of privacy for all sleeping areas and the pool is amazing. No better place to sit and sip while watching a 270 degree panaoramic view of the hills and mountains of the area. We were a family of 10 adults (five couples) and two grand children under the age of two. The staff associated with the villa from Margherita the property manager (who helped us in countless ways including organizing travel , wine tours and special dinners at the villa); Suzanne who was always so gracious and kind to my family throughout our stay and full of good suggestions to enhance our stay, plus Ricardo who kept the pool and property in mint condition and greeted us so warmly every morning. This was a dream trip and I would recommend the Troscione villa in a heart beat to any family or friends of our size. if I could give it more than a five star rating, I would do so. One last piece of advice, plan to end each evening of your stay with a refreshment of your choice and walk outside and look up. The explosion of stars above will underscore the fact that you are truly staying in a Heavenly spot. Enjoy and Ciao! P. Kahnert
Three generations of our family stayed at
Il Troscione for one week in August 2018. We loved everything about it! The villa is lovely both inside and out.
Spacious, comfortable and beautifully designed rooms; glorious landscape and vistas, great staff.
Suzanne the housekeeper, keeps the villa immaculate and spoiled us with delicious meals, Roberto keeps the grounds manicured and the pool sparkling; and Margherita the manager is available to help with any request.
We ate under the grape covered arbour, marvelled at the sunsets and enjoyed evening swims.
It’s everything you might imagine a vacation at a Tuscan villa to be......and more!
Grazie mille a tutti.

Margherita, Suzanne and Ricardo know how it’s done! The villa itself sits on a prestige property overlooking the magestic hills of Tuscany. The sunsets are truly world class.
The villas dining area and kitchen lend itself for perfect atmosphere in dining.
We all love to cook and had a wonderful time in the kitchen. Suzanne made our first couple of meals which took so much stress off after a long journey. We also then were taught by her to make a pretty famous ragu!
Suzanne even came to the grocery store with us to help navigate a foreign way to shop for food. Can not say enough about Suzanne and the way she truly made our holiday perfect to every detail.
The bedrooms all are very spacious with private bathrooms for all. The 2 great rooms allow for large groups and still feel like you have private space.
So loved our experience here and can not thank Margherita, Suzanne and the wonderful Ricardo for making us feel like family.
Top ratings all around for this Canadian girl!
The villa was absolutely wonderful! The views are amazing and the sunsets stunning. It was so peaceful sitting outside by the pool looking at the wonderful views. The house was beautiful and the furnishings were very well appointed and not over the top. Making you feel at home.
The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you could need. They even had their own olive oils and jams. The outdoor dining was fantastic. We had dinner outside every evening enjoying the breathtaking views and watching the sunset.
There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room for everyone. The bedrooms were all very spacious and the bathrooms were all clean and well maintained.
Margherita was very helpful in getting our extra activities planned. She helped organize a dinner to be cooked for us, a cooking class at the villa and a full day wine tour.
Suzanne was a pleasure. She was there most everyday keeping the house clean and organized. She was very helpful, knowledgeable and funny. She was always available to help with information about places to see and things to do or anything else we needed. I can't say enough great things about her.
I highly recommend Il Troscione! I would definitely go back!
Wonderful time with great open and private spaces at Villa.
Pool a real plus after daytime adventures to neighboring Tuscan hill towns. Elevation kept temperatures down at night ...a great benefit compared to our subsequent time in Rome. A well stocked food store was very convenient although the opening hours proved a challenge.
