A Private Sanctuary in the Heart of Tuscany

“Our stay at Villa delle Ortensie was absolutely perfect: everything we had hoped for and more. The villa is beautiful, exceptionally clean, and very well-maintained, and the swimming pool is incredible. We travelled with our young adult children, and the villa offered everyone plenty of space to relax, whilst still enjoying special family moments together. Andrea was extraordinarily hospitable and helpful, even long before our arrival. He helped us plan activities, recommended restaurants, assisted with grocery shopping, and provided everything we needed. He was always available and responded immediately. We went truffle hunting, enjoyed a wine tasting, and an amazing chef came to the villa to teach us how to make three types of pasta! The truffle hunt and cooking class were unforgettable experiences for all of us. Leo also went out of his way to help us when we forgot some personal belongings. We were truly touched by Andrea and Leo's kindness. We highly recommend Villa delle Ortensie!”

“I spent my birthday weekend with my friends at this splendid accommodation! It was everything we had hoped for and more; the hosts were exceptional, extremely kind and helpful. The house and surrounding areas, including the pool, were fantastic, the kitchen was very well equipped, and everything was beautifully maintained. We even had some amusing encounters with the turtles in the back garden. We wholeheartedly recommend this villa and will certainly be returning!”

“This is a splendid, well-appointed villa with a lovely pool area. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped for preparing breakfasts and dinners. The views of the surrounding nature were also beautiful. We might return. Many thanks.”

“We had an unforgettable stay at Andrea's home. Everything was perfect! The view, the garden, the tastefully furnished house, the location in the heart of Tuscany, and only a 20-minute train journey to Florence from the nearest station... Andrea is a truly welcoming host. Thank you for all the thoughtful touches! Thanks also to Léo for his kindness and for maintaining the garden and pool... My children loved feeding the garden turtles... in short, we will return with immense pleasure! Thank you very much, Andréa!”

“An absolutely fantastic stay, with a brilliant host. The accommodation itself was more beautiful than we could have imagined and was perfectly equipped. We had no problems with check-in; in fact, the host met us upon arrival and continued to look after us throughout our stay. I have never had a more welcoming or friendly host in all my travels. Thank you so much, Gherado, for a phenomenal holiday!”

“We absolutely loved staying at this accommodation. It was a perfect location, perfectly nestled in the Tuscan hills, a perfect villa, and a perfect view from the pool. I would highly recommend it if you've spent some time in Florence and then want to get away from the city: this place is peaceful and stunning. The host was very accommodating of our early arrival, and the welcome was very friendly.”

“I would give this villa more than five stars if I could. Andrea and Leo were incredibly welcoming, helpful, and accommodating. They also provided excellent recommendations for restaurants and sights. The property was spotless, spacious, and beautifully furnished. The countryside views were stunning, and the swimming pool was truly luxurious. I wholeheartedly recommend staying here if you are visiting Tuscany!”

“Probably the most beautiful place I have ever stayed, with wonderful hospitality.”

“We had a delightful stay at Andrea's. Excellent welcome and lovely little touches, wines, pastries... Thank you very much!”

“We had a wonderful stay. The Villa is absolutely beautiful, tastefully furnished, and the grounds are incredible. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool surrounded by views of the Tuscan hills. Andrea and Leo were extremely kind and responsive hosts. They were available to answer any questions. Andrea was so kind as to call a restaurant to book a table for us. Leo brought us pastries for breakfast on our last day. I cannot express enough how wonderful our stay at Villa de Orensie was, except to say it exceeded our expectations and we were sad to leave!”
