Named after my mother, Marina, the villas stands on a big land of 8 hectares with fields, fruits and olive trees. The place is secluded and very quiet but also not far from towns which are only 6-7 km away. The villa stands on a small hilltop, with a large covered patio in front of the house for outdoor dining. On one side a veranda, on the other side, a small annex with bedroom, kitchen and a bathroom with shower. From any of the two doors, you will be enchanted by the size and beauty of this house. The interiors are original with red bricks archways and tall ceilings. Right between the two entrances a large and bright "double" kitchen: the classic one with all the kitchen furniture, fridge and stoves/oven and the old one with a wood oven and a marble top table for your home cook preparations. From the kitchen, walking anticlockwise direction, a beautiful wooden table dominates the dining room where we used to gather with our family. The living room has a large chimney and several sofas with colorful pillows and paintings to watch TV or to read a book. You can access the patio from here: the perfect room to read a book watching the vivid green nature outside the glass doors. Behind the living room, a double bedroom with bathroom. This is the only bedroom on the ground floor, with a door to the back of the house. Next to the bedroom, going in circle, a laundry room and a staircase to take you to the first floor. On the first floor you get to the corridor with a big desk if you have some emails to check. From the corridor you can get to the three bedrooms and bathrooms (two double, one twin beds). There is also a wooden staircase to the second floor where we have made a reading area with two twin sofas and an authentic home theater with 2 rows of REAL vintage red velvet seats: You can watch your favorite programs on a cinema screen! Outside a vast area is entirely private for you. The pool area has a huge park for a large pool (12mt\*5mt) with deckchairs and a shower.

The property is absolutely beautiful and very spacious, but the experience offered by Irene and Eduardo was incredible! We saw a Tuscany we could not possibly have found on our own. We loved every minute we were there and hated to leave!

Felt very remote but was only 5 minutes to a town with all amenities by car. Loved the outdoor dining area for meals and the pool for socialising. The Giropizza experience was an absolute highlight, as was nipping up the road to Loro Ciufenna and sitting on the bridge eating Gelato. Sara was a great liaison and would respond quickly to any queries we had. Would definitely come again. ##### Daniel M.

The villa is perfect for a family or several couples. Irene dropped by several times to ensure all was well. When we had a minor malfunction she made sure it was quickly corrected. The outdoor dining area is shaded and perfect for meals. The villa is in a quiet area, but is located so that trips to Florence, Siena, etc. are within reasonable traveling time. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the villa and the hospitality. Highly recommended. ##### J D R.

It's a perfect base camp to enjoy the many small towns and wineries in the area. Drive yourself or have the owners provide a tour of wineries and local sites that you might not find on your own. Then return to the Villa in the evening to relax at the pool with a bottle of wine (or two or more.....!) that you purchased on your outing. Be sure to take an on-site cooking class and enjoy the traditional Tuscan dinner you have created with owners Eduardo and Irene.

Good central location to explore Tuscany. Pictures and description were accurate. Check in was easy (and Sara was VERY helpful throughout our visit - reachable the whole time to answer our questions). You definitely need a car as the property is set back away from any main road. The house is well-outfitted with all the supplies you need. AC worked good - even in the July heat. We enjoyed the pool and had a wonderful chef-prepared dinner one night (thank you Lorenzo and Francesca!) Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the property. We loved the decor and personal touches. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Christa W.

We are a family of 6 who traveled to Tuscany for a holiday vacation. We stayed at Villa Marina for a week. We had a wonderful stay. The rooms and beds are all very comfortable, lots of space, very clean and tidy, the kitchen is super equipped you find anything you need to make yourself a meal. We loved every little thing in this place. 2 of the family is a couple who stayed in the little house beside the Villa, they loved it. a very romantic place to stay. Also, we in the family we have an elderly woman who had no problem at the stay, she slept in the 1st-floor bedroom and enjoyed it. we must say a huge THANK YOU to the hosts Irene & Edoardo who was very nice, friendly, kind and lovely. Edoardo works as a Chef, so on our holiday night, He&his girlfriend and Irene cooked an amazing dinner for us who was way beyond our expectations. The whole meal was super delicious. Irene also helped us to book a few local restaurants who were very good and not touristy which we loved. We highly recommend you stay at Villa Marina and have a chat with both Eduardo an Irene. We promise you won't regret it. ##### Shai M.

Irene and Edoardo are amazing hosts! From the moment we checked in, to the moment we left, they treated us with the best service. They shared and showed us their local treasures, thought us to make nice Italian food, helped out with practical things and were genuine polite and kind! Irene tipped us about the best gelateria, giving us the pleasure of enjoying the best ice creams ever! Edoardo spent the day with us, taking us to Siena and a couple of vineyards, an amazing day with great food and wine, in places we never would’ve found ourselves. The house was nicely refurbished to a high standard, it’s spacious and kept nice and cool during the Tuscany heat we experienced. The movie theatre at the loft was such an amazing room, we enjoyed several movie nights there, the kids loved it! The garden was huge, with several seating areas, and the pool..WOW! We had a hard time getting the kids to eat as they were so eager to go swimming and spent numerous of hours in the water! The location of the house is private, we never saw any other neighbors other than an occasional cat or dog passing by.. Edoardo lives just next door, and was never far away if ever we need anything! This was a super holiday house to go with kids! ##### Anne K.

I had the pleasure of staying at Villa Marina for 5 days with a group of 7 adults and my 11 year month old daughter. We were admittedly unorganized in our planning. Other than selecting our accommodation we hadn’t really thought through our stay. Irene was highly responsive leading up to arrival and insisted that she could assist with our transportation as we opted not to hire a car. This was a tremendous help. Her brother Edoardo greeted us punctually at the local train station and from there hardly left our side. He assisted with groceries and even planned several day trips during or stay that were unforgettable. Although last minute in some of our planning, Irene and Eduardo were patient, kind, considerate and helpful in every interaction. And what to say about this property? I’m not exaggerating when I say that the property was better than displayed in the pictures. Turns out there was an entire private cottage, in addition to the home, that was available for our use. The home is newly renovated and finds the perfect combination with of rustic with a modern touch. It is clear that so much work, love and effort has gone into creating this home into a welcoming space for travelers. Combined with the top notch hospitality, you cannot ask for more. We left our stay feeling like we had made two new friends. We truly will never forget this experience. Eduardo and Irene we truly thank you. ##### Aver F. ### 8/10 Good #### Alexis G. 15 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice Stay The property was Clean, well kept and maintained. The caretakers did a great job. The layout was good for a large group/family. Everything was well stocked and provided for. It is obvious great care goes into this property and the location is good to explore Chianti and Florence. We had a great time and all was very nice. The few small things which I would improve if possible are: - the chairs in the dining room with wire frames are really uncomfortable and with a large group or family, one wants to sit and stay longer at the table for meals and drinks and it is not comfortable. -The step down into the kitchen is pretty dangerous and most of us almost fell multiple times we put stools there to block it/remind us. -The road to the house is a bit treacherous. -The garbage bins are very far from the house. Rather than making guests bring garbage all the way over a mile down the road in our cars, since we are paying $500 for a final cleaning, have a waste bin outside and that locks and have the cleaning crew bring the garbage. This was really annoying to deal with while trying to packup and checkout. ##### Alexis G.

It was a great place to explore Florence and Chianti areas. the info they provided was very helpful. There were only a few small things I would improve and they are minor. Overall it is very well cared for and the tram of caretakers are very helpful and accessible. ##### Alexis G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dominic K. 24 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Tuscan experience This villa was an amazing stay, absolutely beautiful and perfect spot for day trips to many Tuscan cities/villages.

Our host Irene was wonderful to deal with from the start and made everything so easy while we were there. She helped arrange chefs to come to the house, reccommended restaurants and made reservations for us- just incredibly helpful and made the trip worry free. The villa is roomy and wonderful and felt like home - perfect for a big group. You must have a car as it is out in the country - and it made exploring really fun. We can’t wait to go back! ##### Gwenn S.

While looking for a villa in Tuscany to begin a family vacation, my husband and sister, independently of each other, discovered Villa Marina and thought it would be the perfect spot to begin the first leg of our Italian vacation. Our host, Irene Gren, from the get-go, was so helpful and kind in answering our many questions. Not being all that familiar with the region, her recommendations were so useful. Irene is very easy to communicate with and extremely efficient! We came away realizing that you always want to follow your host's recommendations! The villa is located about 2 1/2 hours from Rome. While it is a little removed from some of the better-known destinations, such as Sienna or San Gimignano, we discovered many charming villages and wineries, off the beaten track, that we might not otherwise have found. The villa itself had an old-world charm, with plenty of space for our group of seven. The bedrooms and baths were spacious and comfortable. The outdoor space was especially appealing. We spent plenty of time by the pool, the covered seating area, and the loggia. Irene arranged two dinners at home, cooked by local chefs. Both dinners were wonderful - absolutely delicious, expertly prepared, and authentically Tuscan! And I would be remiss, if I didn't mention how delicious the local wines were that were served to us throughout the different courses. All in all, our group would highly recommend Villa Marina! Thank you, Irene, for an amazing start to our Italy vacation!! Salute!! ##### Dana D.
