Summary: This was our third stay here, which says something in itself. The house is in a beautiful setting with magnificent views over Monte Amiata and the Val d’Orcia surrounded by lovely well-tended gardens. The interiors have been executed with great thought and taste and we enjoyed noticing new artworks and other additions. Everything is in excellent condition and works perfectly and the whole property is overseen by a delightful housekeeper who is keen to help. There is also a really helpful manual full of local as well as house-related information. Highly recommended - we hope to return (again!).

Summary: The Villa is simply delightful, with beautiful sweeping views of the Val d'Orcia and wonderful, well-tended grounds of grassy lawns, herbs, lavender, etc. The large pool is well-positioned for sunshine and views, with lovely umbrellas for shade. There is a large, well-functioning, fully fitted-out kitchen, updated bathrooms and a good internet/tech/media set-up (Sonos speakers; big TV; good internet). The bedrooms are lovely and clean. The air-conditioning an added bonus. The Villa is secluded, sitting among olive trees, forest and hay fields and well-situated for visiting the hill towns. It is a lovely drive from the main road, with sightings of deer quite frequent. The host is incredibly helpful and conscientious, both about the villa itself and also with recommendations and information about local restaurants, vineyards, activities etc. There is also a housekeeper who is friendly and helpful.

Summary: We cannot recommend Podere Terra Bianca more highly or enthusiastically. As experienced world travelers, we can say with complete confidence that this property is among the finest that we have every stayed in, if not the finest. Podere Terra Bianca is as thoroughly, thoughtfully and tastefully updated as anyone could desire. The property is also as beautiful outside as it is inside. The lofty placement of the house allows wonderful views over the valleys and distant hills. The views are of orchards, vineyards, valleys, fields and woodlands. Located between Pienza, a world heritage site, and the medieval and renaissance wine-making hill town of Montepulciano, Podere Terra Bianca is well situated for day trips to Perugia, Siena, Orvieto, Assisi, and Cortona. Podere Terra Bianca offers an exceptional level of comfort and many amenities not typically available in rental properties. Heated floors, multiple wood-burning stoves and fireplaces, a beautiful sound system, built in charging ports, reliable high speed internet access, multiple locations for outdoor dining and reading, well designed outdoor lighting and beautiful views of the Val d’Orcia from every window evidence the owner’s remarkable attention to detail. Every room is comfortably and tastefully furnished to the highest standards. The kitchen has everything one could need or want and more - minus the terror learning to safely operate ancient gas plumbing! The bathrooms are in suite, generously sized, and have state of the art showers and heated towel racks, We have never experienced this level of comfort before in all of our years of travel in Italy and around the world.

Summary: The property was special and so are the owners. Samuela, who does most everything, is charming and always available. The views are breathtaking. The house is well furnished with everything you can imagine and more. The kitchen is a delight and the appliances are top of the line. The pool is large and cleaned each day. The grounds are impeccable and enjoyable to explore. It was the best rental property in Italy that we have ever staved in.

Summary: We had a wonderful time in this exquisite home in Tuscany. The house was superb with every detail thought of. The pool and scenery were just what we were looking for. The location, between Montepulciano and Pienza was ideal and allowed for day trips and then a return home to this lovely secluded home with beautiful vistas. We split our time between dinners at excellent local restaurants and also having gourmet italian meals prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. The home could not have been better appointed. We have rented many homes over the years but this was, by far, the best one. The owners have thought of everything and their detailed instructions made for a very easy stay. We cannot say enough nice things about the villa and hope to return for another stay. David

Summary: We were a group of 3 couples, long-time close friends celebrating turning 70 years old. We had set a high benchmark for this special occasion, and Terra Bianca exceeded our expectations in every way. After spending time in this lovely villa, the ladies in the group are inspired by its luxurious and tasteful décor. The color schemes, furnishings and renovation of the villa are fresh and current. From the artwork down to the bathroom fixtures and modern appliances, everything was of the best quality. We all agreed that the villa, its grounds, pool area, numerous patios and dining options could be featured in an issue of Architectural Digest Magazine. The house manager/keeper, Samuella, was so pleasant and helpful, and our personal chefs Alessandro and Eleanora from Tuscan Chef were outstanding. We were very glad we had chosen to dine "at home" because the comfort, ambiance and customized menus were perfect. The view of the valley from the villa is unmatched at any time of the day. All plantings and gardens are well kept by the gardener and a true delight, filled with fragrant roses of many colors and types. We have been posting on FaceBook and have received many comments from "envious" friends. The members of our group are well traveled and have been privileged to stay in the finest lodging throughout the world. All agreed that for many reasons this was one of our favorites. We truly hated to leave this idyllic setting and plan to make a return visit.

Summary: This beautiful villa exceeded our expectations. It looked gorgeous from the photographs but it was even more breathtaking in person. The views out over the valley could be seen from the 2 outside patios and the bedrooms. There was plenty of seating for the 4 couples that were in our party. The kitchen and the rest of the house had every amenity you could want. There was ping pong, bocce ball, badminton, board games and of course a pool that was surrounded by hotel quality chaise lounges and umbrellas. Samuela, the housekeeper was so friendly and kept the villa spotless while we were there. Renting it was a simple and easy process and the owners are so accommodating with suggestions of restaurants, things to do in the area and general information about the house and the area. We simply can't say enough good things about this villa!!

Summary: Villa Luisa is a beautiful villa located off the main road where you are surrounded by mountains, olive gardens and vineyards. The grounds are impeccable landscaped and the outside pool is truly breathtaking The main house has all the charm of a historic Tuscany farm house however every modern luxury convenience is provided for. The gourmet kitchen, the indoor dining room, the beautiful outdoor dining space and the various patios with unbelievable views surround the house. We cooked in nearly every night as two of our guests were outstanding chefs and we would eat wonderful Italian meals outside to the sound of Italian music - It does not get much better than that. The Villa is perfectly located between Rome and Florence and nestled among numerous historic Hill Towns - Pienza, Montepulciano, Orvieto, and on and on. The train station to Florence or Rome is only 25 minutes away. We cannot write a complete review without mentioning Samuela, the housekeeper. She was such a wonderful treat to see every morning and she was so helpful. Since we did not speak Italian and she does not speak English we had fun communicating to one another thru Google Translate. All in all this Villa exceeded all expectations. The owners were meticulous in their design and thoughtfulness. We could not have picked a better place to stay and will certainly stay again on our next trip to Italy.

Summary: Arriving at this Villa was nothing less than perfect; the long winding drive to the villa and the first sight was very impressive. The property and grounds were in pristine condition, and the view of the surrounding countryside was breathtaking. The owners were very responsive if needed. The housekeeper was also very knowledgeable and helpful with any questions we had. The property is perfectly located so close to so many day trip activities. We are very much looking forward to returning to this region and this villa.

Summary: The villa is an amazing situation and is well equipped with anything you could want. The views are fantastic from the various terraces. There is so much to explore locally and we can wholeheartedly recommend truffle hunting! There were some extra costs associated with cooling/pool heating but these were handled sensitively by the owner. We can thoroughly recommend this villa and hope to return again.
