Villa La Dogana

We had a fantastic stay at beautiful La Dogana.It is a stunning property! We thoroughly enjoyed all of the outdoor spaces which are thoughtfully curated for a very relaxing and the house itself is very spacious and easily accommodated all of our families - and is also stunningly beautiful and comfortable. Monica and her daughter cooked for us one night and it was absolutely delicious, I very highly recommend everyone to take advantage of their wonderful culinary offerings!We will definitely stay again!!!

Stunning location, quiet area, lovely host and support team. Donata was very helpful. Monica and her entire family were terrific. We had an amazing time, from an immaculately kept pool, which we used daily, to pasta making lessons from Monica and her lovely family. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a great afternoon in a vineyard and we would highly recommend the local food market in the town on Saturdays. It is a peacful place with many fond memories. On the last evening we sat by the bonfire wishing not to leave and reflecting on our memorable stay.

Villa Dogana is a fantastic place! Not only the building itself but the extensive grounds. We were a group of eighteen, ages 12 to 73, celebrating my 70th birthday, and everyone loved it, everyone found a different aspect to enjoy: jumping in the pool, playing table tennis, lingering under the trees, a cooking competition in the three kitchens, a treasure hunt, dinner outdoors, dinner in the awesome downstairs dining room, singing and dancing in the moonlight by the pool, and some of us occasionally disappearing in one the three sitting rooms to work. There was something interesting to discover, a delight to be found at every corner. We were nice and cool on the hillside behind the thick ancient walls when the rest of Italy was sizzling under a heat wave. Thank you Donata and Monica!

Lovely, relaxing week for family getaway. Pool was especially nice for all. Property is very private, quiet with lots of space for kids to roam around. We asked Monica for prepared meals for 3 dinners and one breakfast and all were exceptional - delicious, on time, lovely presentation. Villa is very well equipped and functional for a large family. Views were spectacular. Florence was a short drive away.

We had 24 people ranging from nine months to seventy-four years of age. The rooms were lovely. Our teenage grand daughters thoroughly enjoyed being housed in the turret! The kitchen was very well appointed. The larger room with refrigerators, etc, was a great size for meal preparation. We used every part of this beautiful villa. Most evening meals were prepared, in part, on the outdoor cooking facilities. All enjoyed being able to dine outside! The pool was especially lovely. Equipment for many outdoor sports was provided - and enjoyed! This villa is very convenient to many larger cities. Our families took daily trips to a variety of different areas. They especially enjoyed the lake - visible from the pool! Monica was fantastic. She quickly responded to any concerns and was most helpful answering questions about local resources. Francesco came daily to check on the pool. He was delightful and quick to offer assistance. We highly recommend this venue! David and Roberta Skelton
