The Villa experience exceeded my expectations. My family, friends and I were able to enjoy rest, food, pickleball and unbelievable surroundings with incredible views and weather. We acted on the recommendation of the owner and engaged a local chef (Mariella) for breakfast and dinner. This elevated our experience to the next level. The Tuscan roads and navigation can be challenging and of course the language is not our native tongue. Having Mariella prepare local, fresh authentic Italian cuisine was the BEST decision. Additionally we were supported day and night by Loredana, the house manager. Her guidance and assistance was critical to our stay. She anticipated our needs, asked all the right questions and helped us make all the right decisions. All the staff were a blessing. Our group consisted of 17 persons in our 10 bed villa. Not all were pickleball players on arrival, but a few players were born during the week! What a treat to have recreation as well as indulgence in food and wine all week. The villa pool is unparalleled in its size and beauty! We enjoyed a sauna afterwards as well - there are two! What a week - not at all happy to leave - it was a great experience. Highly recommend.
