A Panoramic Tuscan Luxury - Villa Maria in Fronzano

Vacances en famille. Suffisamment de place pour 4 couples avec enfants. Grande piscine avec coin abrité doté d’une table de ping-pong, douche et toilettes à proximité. Magnifique court de tennis. Sans oublier l’hospitalité du propriétaire des lieux et la délicieuse cuisine du chef.

This is a beautiful house with lots of space inside and out . The terrace has THE best view! The pool is beautiful and well maintained. There is a loggia with a shower room and table tennis table for those who want to stay out of the sun. The tennis court is great with a beautiful even bounce. The bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms and air con have been upgraded and there are mosquito nets for the windows. The kitchen is well equipped , there is a great bbq, and everything works. Donato cooked a resplendent feast for us all two of the nights we were there. It was excellent. Tommaso is a perfect host: there when you need anything but unobtrusive. Excellent recommendations for restaurants and shops . We had a great family holiday and highly recommend.

We had the most wonderful family vacation in Villa Maria! All 11 of us hated to leave. The property and villa cannot be outdone. The Villa is beautiful, charming and very spacious with ample room for all of us. The property itself is stunning and meticulously maintains with gorgeous and relaxing views. We all enjoyed the pool and the lighted sports court allowed for late night tennis and soccer games. Tomasso is the best VRBO host we've ever encountered as he is engaging, informative and was responsive to every question and need we had. As others have mentioned Chef Donato is a gem that should not be missed. He is a fabulous cook with some of the best food we have ever tasted. He works hard to meet requests as we had two family members that are gluten free. Book Villa Maria...you will leave with happy hearts and wonderful memories.

If you're looking to stay at a special villa and have the Tuscan dream vacation, then Villa Maria is the place for you.  My family and I rented for a week - 9 of us ranging from ages 10 - 78.  From the moment we arrived, we were wowed by the villa itself, the spectacular views and the owner, Tommaso.  Tommaso had ensured that the villa was equipped with every amenity for a comfortable stay not to mention the extras, like leaving a bowl of fresh fruit, bottles of wine and olive oil.  My family enjoyed everything Villa Maria has to offer, including the pool, tennis courts, pool table and the outside verandas to just sit and soak in the amazing views. In addition, Tommaso assisted us with arranging Chef Donato to cook dinners for us on 2 nights.  I was a little nervous because my family has divergent dietary needs (2 of us are vegan) and some are just picky eaters so I wasn't sure if the experience was going to be enjoyable for all.  Well, what Donato prepared for us was a culinary masterpiece and everyone enjoyed every dish he prepared, taking into account all of our requirements.  My family agreed that these may have been the best meals EVER. The only disappointment was that we had to leave. Villa Maria is simply amazing and we are so grateful for Tommaso as he assisted us with all of our questions in the months leading up to our trip and during our stay to to ensure we had an incredible experience. We will forever treasure the memories we made and we will be back!

It’s very difficult to choose only one aspect of this stay that our family enjoyed most - the glorious views of the valley below, the beautiful pool area with umbrellas and loungers and soft towels, the immaculate house and grounds with fragrant flowers on arbors, the comfortable beds with finishes like hand-carved wooden headboards, the soccer pitch on which my teenagers spent hours running around, brand-new modern bathrooms with rain shower heads, the list goes on. Even with all of that, the real standout at Villa Maria is the warm hospitality extended by the hosts, Marco and Tommaso. Our group included grandparents, parents, aunts/uncles, teenagers and a nine month old baby, so a wide variety of needs. Our hosts communicated with us prior to our arrival to ensure that we would have everything we would need ahead of time (key as we arrived on a Sunday and many stores were closed that day which we would not have known). The walk-through at check-in was thorough and well thought out. And during our stay, Tommaso was incredibly helpful to answer any questions we had and to offer advice and assistance. Additionally, we hired Chef Donato to provide some of our dinners and lunches and as many other reviewers have said, he was amazing at every meal. I’m not sure when I will ever eat so well again. So, if you are considering staying at this jewel to bask in the Tuscan countryside, by all means, book it.

Walk 5 minutes to a village with grocery store or simply sit by the pool to enjoy the view. This villa has it all! Our family of 10 (adults and kids) spent 2 weeks at Villa Maria and would recommend it for its amenities and location. The host, Tomasso, and chef, Donato, were the ultimate guides and helpers. Take the train into Florence to avoid parking a car. Experience Borroncino Restaurant in Reggello for a gastronomic treat. We would certainly return to this heavenly spot for touring Tuscany.

Everything met or exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay at this magnificent villa. The house, the pool, the tennis court were all sensational. Clean, beautifully maintained, private and good location. Host/owner was very accommodating too. Highly recommended!

Everyone in our group enjoyed staying at the beautiful property during a holiday with my wife's family (8 adults and 6 children). The house is plenty big enough with good size bedrooms and good living spaces as well as useful outdoor space. It was a shame that no welcome pack was provided unlike the ones you get at other properties - maybe a bottle of wine and some milk and bread would have been a nice touch. During our stay (August 2023) the temperatures hit 38-40 degrees centigrade and it meant the bedrooms (no air conditioning) were really hot at night even with ceiling fans. We did request freestanding fans but none were made available. The swimming pool is large and clean and warm - the children and adults loved spending time in the pool to cool off! As we were on holiday in August the mosquitoes and flies were a big nuisance and the whole group got bitten plenty so I'd recommend good bug spray and burning a candle at night!! The walk into town is via a dusty track and the local town has a basic shop. To go to good eateries you will need to drive. That said the property is a great location for getting to Florence. The tennis court and football pitch was fantastic and enjoyed by many of the family. The view from the property was breathtaking also. In summary if the property had air conditioning in the bedrooms (you pay for electricity during your stay anyway!) then it would be 5 stars. Certainly the host Tomasso was really friendly and full of good tips!

We, a family of 13, have just concluded a lovely week at Villa Maria, which is a fabulous place. Lovely house in beautiful surroundings, incl. the well-kept garden, pool area, the unique view of the valley with ever-changing clouds and colors, and the nearby town and area. The villa includes everything we needed for a group our size, and we enjoyed the various possible activities, such as tennis, pool, ping pong, etc. between our walks in the area or stints of relaxation by the pool. The host, Tommaso, is super friendly, service-minded and easy to communicate with. We had also indirectly engaged Donato (chef) to cook wonderful Italien meals for us, and he delivered above all expectations. We will for sure return to Villa Maria another time, and can clearly recommend it to other.

My husband and I chose Villa Maria to host both of our families and it was the perfect place for a very intimate wedding celebration (14 people total). Tommaso was an incredible host. He checked in on us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We needed a steamer, he ordered one and it was there the next day. He was kind enough to show us his olive grove near by and gave us lots of great information. Tommaso really enriched our Tuscan vacation with his wealth of knowledge and all of his recommendations. Chef Donato cooked two meals for us: a casual pizza dinner and a special 4 course menu for our wedding celebration. Every minute was incredible. The food was amazing and being able to enjoy the view from the outdoor dining table was perfect. Everyone loved walking down to the little market/coffee shop for breakfast and to pick up a few things for lunches. The tennis court was in perfect condition, the pool was fabulous and clean, and everyone enjoyed playing pingpong and pool. The AC in the bedrooms was amazing and the newly renovated bathrooms were a nice surprise. We can't say enough good things about our stay at Villa Maria! Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

The villa in the Italian hills did not disappoint. Even the flowers were blooming and abundant as they were in the photos. We enjoyed all aspects of the property…the well-maintained pool, the various dining spaces, and comfortable areas for visiting and reading. The newly renovated bathrooms were a great surprise. Tommaso, the on-property manager/owner was incredibly helpful and assisted us with many requests and valuable advice. The advice ranged from restaurant recommendations to helping with car mechanical issues. Tommaso is a wonderful host and seemed to enjoy his work.

Dieses Haus mit Grundstück ist ein Traum! Geräumig, geschmackvoll im authentisch toskanischen Stil eingerichtet, mit einem tollen großen Pool, super schöner Terrasse und herrlichem Blick. Wir hatten genug Platz für 3 Familien mit 6 erwachsenen und 7 Kindern. Die Teenager fanden den Billardtisch natürlich mega. Nur die Bäder könnten mal renoviert werden, zwar sauber aber mit der Zeit etwas müffelnd. Tomasso war stets hilfsbereit und der Koch, der kam. Hat uns köstlich bekocht. Absolut empfehlenswert!

My husband and I spent a week of a family vacation in Italy at Villa Maria with our two adult children, their spouses and five grandchildren in celebration of our 70th birthdays. Our time at Villa Maria was a spectacular experience! The villa is meticulously cared for – spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, with ample seating and dining spaces and breathtaking views. You really need a car to explore the surrounding area. Driving was harrowing at times as the local roads are very narrow. It took us longer than expected to visit other towns and we found that we enjoyed being at the villa so much that we did not travel as often as we planned. I suggest getting the smallest car you think you will need as it will be easier to navigate on the narrow side roads. The highways are fine. Our host Tomasso was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with, answering our questions leading up to the trip and remaining extremely helpful during our time there. His English is excellent and the response time short. He met us at check in and left the refrigerator stocked with enough goodies to hold us over until the next day when we could shop. We hired Chef Donato for 3 nights and he was fantastic! He prepares a delicious multi-course meal right at the villa that left us stuffed with plenty left over for lunch the next day. We felt it was an excellent value for the variety, quality and quantity of food prepared. You can book this property without hesitation – you will not be disappointed!

This experience with Villa Maria went so far beyond our expectations that it’s hard to put into words. Tommaso was a never-ending help with the patience far beyond what we could’ve asked. The house was immaculate, the location prime, and the views never to be forgotten. Working with Marco and Tommaso was flawless and easy. Hope to go again

We stayed for the week between Christmas and New Years and had an absolutely amazing time. The villa is beautiful and really spacious for our group of 10 people. Tom was so welcoming and helpful and a wonderful host. The location is perfect for exploring the area, so much to see and close enough to Florence for a day trip. We can't say enough good things about this wonderful spot. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This beautiful Tuscan estate exceeded expectations for our wine and culinary vacation! The view is spectacular. Our host, Tommaso, was extremely friendly and a gracious host. We brought in a chef for a Tuscan cooking class and the kitchen was well appointed. Parking the car was easy. Very modern bathrooms. Two wonderful rooms for group gathering areas inside. Highly recommend this property!

We have been back from Italy for a week, but we are all still dreaming of our time in Tuscany at Villa Maria and looking forward to going back as soon as possible. All of our communications with Marco were so helpful and warm from the moment we booked and Tommaso is the friendliest, kindest and most helpful host. We miss him already! The property is simply stunning. The walk to the bakery could not be dreamier and the views - especially from the windows on the third floor! - are spectacular. Even the tennis courts surrounded by cyprus courts look like a Tuscan fairytale. Chef Donato cooked for us twice and even helped us with a cooking lesson one evening! We went to some of the best restaurants in Rome and Florence and we truly think that his (enormous!) homecooked meals are the absolute best in Italy. Donato is so wonderful and was such a special part of our trip. The house is immaculate with plenty of room. We wished it was warmer to be able to use the pool as it looked so beautiful with such a gorgeous view. I can only imagine what it is like when the weather is warmer! We were 12 people - 6 adults and 6 kids, ages 4-12. We celebrated my mother's special birthday here and it was such a happy and cozy place to do so. The older kids played pool every night and everyone had room to relax after busy days exploring. We were easily able to drive and take the train to Florence. We visited Rome first and it was a quick 2.5 hrs to the villa from there. We also took day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Siena and wine tasting through the Chianti region. While this was an exceptionally beautiful place to stay - a dream! - it was the people that made this a magical, memorable, 3 generation birthday trip for the books. Thank you Tommy, Marco and Chef Donato. We miss you already!!

A gorgeous villa with an indescribable view-you can just sit with a glass of wine and stare for hours. Plenty of privacy for everyone and several group gathering spaces both inside and out. Tomasso, our host, was always available to answer our questions and see to our needs. He made everything so easy. This is a memory we will all cherish forever 💕

Villa Maria exceeded our expectations in every way, and Tommaso goes above and beyond to ensure that guests are comfortable and that everyone has the best experience possible. Thanks so much for sharing your family's estate with us! We loved every minute.

We stayed in Villa Maria for couple days on Jul-2024 and were amazing days. The villa is as beautiful as we can see on the images, well located and very cozy. Tomasso is a great host and was always available for helping us with anything we needed. He also provided good tips for restaurantes and places around the villa. Amazing place. Will defintelly visit again.

The villa in the Italian hills did not disappoint. Even the flowers were blooming and abundant as they were in the photos.

Our family of 11 enjoyed 4 wonderful days at this once in a lifetime villa. Tommaso, our host was a delight to work with. He was attentive, gave us great information and was available for any questions during our stay. One of our highlights was having Donato cook for us for the 4 nights we were there. Five star meals and great personality. Highly reccomend this gem of a person for your stay.

Wow! What can I say? We had the most surreal, wonderful week at Tommassos house in Tuscany. The pictures do not do it justice. The views from the property are from a movie! Donato the chef was amazing. An absolute MUST. We wish we had him more! Prepared the most delicious Italian authentic food. Tommasso is a delight. A wonderful host. Best rental we have ever stayed in. If we get the chance to come back to Italy we would love to stay here again. Every morning we would walk down the Cyprus tree drive to get coffee (5 min walk). It was perfect. Thank you so much.

We have been back from Italy for a week, but we are all still dreaming of our time in Tuscany at Villa Maria and looking forward to going back as soon as possible. All of our communications with Marco were so helpful and warm from the moment we booked and Tommaso is the friendliest, kindest and most helpful host. We miss him already!

Take the train into Florence to avoid parking a car. Experience Borroncino Restaurant in Reggello for a gastronomic treat. We would certainly return to this heavenly spot for touring Tuscany.

Everything met or exceeded our expectations. We had a wonderful stay at this magnificent villa. The house, the pool, the tennis court were all sensational. Clean, beautifully maintained, private and good location. Host/owner was very accommodating too. Highly recommended!

My family and I recently stayed at the villa and had an incredible experience. Our host Tomasso was super attentive, knowledgeable and very helpful when it came to navigating travel in the area. We also hired Chef Donato for dinners and his food was incredible - I highly recommend him! The property is family friendly - we had children with us and they loved using the outdoor pool and soccer field. We did not rent a car but I would suggest it for those looking to do daytrips outside of the town. Thank you Marco and Tomasso for an incredible tuscan experience!

We stayed in Villa Maria for couple days on Jul-2024 and were amazing days. The villa is as beautiful as we can see on the images, well located and very cozy. Tomasso is a great host and was always available for helping us with anything we needed. He also provided good tips for restaurantes and places around the villa. Amazing place. Will defintelly visit again.

Everyone in our group enjoyed staying at the beautiful property during a holiday with my wife's family (8 adults and 6 children). The house is plenty big enough with good size bedrooms and good living spaces as well as useful outdoor space. It was a shame that no welcome pack was provided unlike the ones you get at other properties - maybe a bottle of wine and some milk and bread would have been a nice touch. During our stay (August 2023) the temperatures hit 38-40 degrees centigrade and it meant the bedrooms (no air conditioning) were really hot at night even with ceiling fans. We did request freestanding fans but none were made available. The swimming pool is large and clean and warm - the children and adults loved spending time in the pool to cool off! As we were on holiday in August the mosquitoes and flies were a big nuisance and the whole group got bitten plenty so I'd recommend good bug spray and burning a candle at night!! The walk into town is via a dusty track and the local town has a basic shop. To go to good eateries you will need to drive. That said the property is a great location for getting to Florence. The tennis court and football pitch was fantastic and enjoyed by many of the family. The view from the property was breathtaking also. In summary if the property had air conditioning in the bedrooms (you pay for electricity during your stay anyway!) then it would be 5 stars. Certainly the host Tomasso was really friendly and full of good tips!

My husband and I spent a week of a family vacation in Italy at Villa Maria with our two adult children, their spouses and five grandchildren in celebration of our 70th birthdays. Our time at Villa Maria was a spectacular experience! The villa is meticulously cared for – spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, with ample seating and dining spaces and breathtaking views. You really need a car to explore the surrounding area. Driving was harrowing at times as the local roads are very narrow. It took us longer than expected to visit other towns and we found that we enjoyed being at the villa so much that we did not travel as often as we planned. I suggest getting the smallest car you think you will need as it will be easier to navigate on the narrow side roads. The highways are fine. Our host Tomasso was fantastic! He was easy to communicate with, answering our questions leading up to the trip and remaining extremely helpful during our time there. His English is excellent and the response time short. He met us at check in and left the refrigerator stocked with enough goodies to hold us over until the next day when we could shop. We hired Chef Donato for 3 nights and he was fantastic! He prepares a delicious multi-course meal right at the villa that left us stuffed with plenty left over for lunch the next day. We felt it was an excellent value for the variety, quality and quantity of food prepared. You can book this property without hesitation – you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I chose Villa Maria to host both of our families and it was the perfect place for a very intimate wedding celebration (14 people total). Tommaso was an incredible host. He checked in on us throughout the week to make sure we had everything we needed. We needed a steamer, he ordered one and it was there the next day. He was kind enough to show us his olive grove near by and gave us lots of great information. Tommaso really enriched our Tuscan vacation with his wealth of knowledge and all of his recommendations. Chef Donato cooked two meals for us: a casual pizza dinner and a special 4 course menu for our wedding celebration. Every minute was incredible. The food was amazing and being able to enjoy the view from the outdoor dining table was perfect. Everyone loved walking down to the little market/coffee shop for breakfast and to pick up a few things for lunches. The tennis court was in perfect condition, the pool was fabulous and clean, and everyone enjoyed playing pingpong and pool. The AC in the bedrooms was amazing and the newly renovated bathrooms were a nice surprise. We can't say enough good things about our stay at Villa Maria! Would highly recommend and look forward to visiting again soon.

This is a beautiful house with lots of space inside and out . The terrace has THE best view! The pool is beautiful and well maintained. There is a loggia with a shower room and table tennis table for those who want to stay out of the sun. The tennis court is great with a beautiful even bounce. The bedrooms are comfortable and bathrooms and air con have been upgraded and there are mosquito nets for the windows. The kitchen is well equipped , there is a great bbq, and everything works. Donato cooked a resplendent feast for us all two of the nights we were there. It was excellent. Tommaso is a perfect host: there when you need anything but unobtrusive. Excellent recommendations for restaurants and shops . We had a great family holiday and highly recommend.

This beautiful Tuscan estate exceeded expectations for our wine and culinary vacation! The view is spectacular. Our host, Tommaso, was extremely friendly and a gracious host. We brought in a chef for a Tuscan cooking class and the kitchen was well appointed. Parking the car was easy. Very modern bathrooms. Two wonderful rooms for group gathering areas inside. Highly recommend this property!

If you're looking to stay at a special villa and have the Tuscan dream vacation, then Villa Maria is the place for you.  My family and I rented for a week - 9 of us ranging from ages 10 - 78.  From the moment we arrived, we were wowed by the villa itself, the spectacular views and the owner, Tommaso.  Tommaso had ensured that the villa was equipped with every amenity for a comfortable stay not to mention the extras, like leaving a bowl of fresh fruit, bottles of wine and olive oil.  My family enjoyed everything Villa Maria has to offer, including the pool, tennis courts, pool table and the outside verandas to just sit and soak in the amazing views. In addition, Tommaso assisted us with arranging Chef Donato to cook dinners for us on 2 nights.  I was a little nervous because my family has divergent dietary needs (2 of us are vegan) and some are just picky eaters so I wasn't sure if the experience was going to be enjoyable for all.  Well, what Donato prepared for us was a culinary masterpiece and everyone enjoyed every dish he prepared, taking into account all of our requirements.  My family agreed that these may have been the best meals EVER. The only disappointment was that we had to leave. Villa Maria is simply amazing and we are so grateful for Tommaso as he assisted us with all of our questions in the months leading up to our trip and during our stay to to ensure we had an incredible experience. We will forever treasure the memories we made and we will be back!

It’s very difficult to choose only one aspect of this stay that our family enjoyed most - the glorious views of the valley below, the beautiful pool area with umbrellas and loungers and soft towels, the immaculate house and grounds with fragrant flowers on arbors, the comfortable beds with finishes like hand-carved wooden headboards, the soccer pitch on which my teenagers spent hours running around, brand-new modern bathrooms with rain shower heads, the list goes on. Even with all of that, the real standout at Villa Maria is the warm hospitality extended by the hosts, Marco and Tommaso. Our group included grandparents, parents, aunts/uncles, teenagers and a nine month old baby, so a wide variety of needs. Our hosts communicated with us prior to our arrival to ensure that we would have everything we would need ahead of time (key as we arrived on a Sunday and many stores were closed that day which we would not have known). The walk-through at check-in was thorough and well thought out. And during our stay, Tommaso was incredibly helpful to answer any questions we had and to offer advice and assistance. Additionally, we hired Chef Donato to provide some of our dinners and lunches and as many other reviewers have said, he was amazing at every meal. I’m not sure when I will ever eat so well again. So, if you are considering staying at this jewel to bask in the Tuscan countryside, by all means, book it.

Our stay at Villa Maria was amazing! The property and amenities were absolutely first rate! Tommaso was an amazing host and extremely helpful with recommendations and assistance! We had two outstanding meals prepared by chef Donato , one on the outside dining area celebrating our daughter’s 30th birthday! The views were just amazing! We highly recommend this property it is nothing short of spectacular.

We, a family of 13, have just concluded a lovely week at Villa Maria, which is a fabulous place. Lovely house in beautiful surroundings, incl. the well-kept garden, pool area, the unique view of the valley with ever-changing clouds and colors, and the nearby town and area. The villa includes everything we needed for a group our size, and we enjoyed the various possible activities, such as tennis, pool, ping pong, etc. between our walks in the area or stints of relaxation by the pool. The host, Tommaso, is super friendly, service-minded and easy to communicate with. We had also indirectly engaged Donato (chef) to cook wonderful Italien meals for us, and he delivered above all expectations. We will for sure return to Villa Maria another time, and can clearly recommend it to other.

Our family of 11 enjoyed 4 wonderful days at this once in a lifetime villa. Tommaso, our host was a delight to work with. He was attentive, gave us great information and was available for any questions during our stay. One of our highlights was having Donato cook for us for the 4 nights we were there. Five star meals and great personality. Highly reccomend this gem of a person for your stay.
