Villa Benvenuti
Description
This vast property complete with private pool, hot tub and cinema room, provides ample accommodation for 12 people, with its spacious kitchen (complete with indoor bbq), large dining room with enormous fireplace, and living room spanning the back of the house, leading out via arched doors to the garden. There is also a further living area on the first floor, again with fireplace. On the lower ground floor there is a cinema room for evening entertainment.
Outside there is plenty of room to relax and dine al fresco under the shade of mature trees or beneath the stunning wisteria. For reading in peace there is the old covered terrace situated on the first floor leading from first floor living area..
The 200,000 sq metres of parkland/fenced garden is a paradise for children, and with its 700 olive trees, has plenty of places for sleeping in the shade, picknicking, bbqing, hide and seek and of course sunbathing..
The private gated swimming pool with roman steps is a real luxury, and this area is lit at night for those nocturnal swims. There is also the summer hot tub at the pool. The pool will be heated by an airpump but cannot guarantee temperature due to ambient temperature. In any event it will be warmer than a pool that does not have the heat pump.
If guests can tear themselves away from the relaxing grounds, then the villa is less than a kilometre from the local village, and further afield, ideally placed for exploring tuscany.

Reviews
Villa Benvenuti is a rare find. It looks just like you would
dream of a villa in Tuscany, has a bathroom for each bedroom, is
within walking distance of a lovely little village, and is managed
by a wonderful couple who take such good care of you. We stayed for
a month and at times had 10 adults and a 2 year-old at the villa.
It accommodated us perfectly with plenty of space for all. We took
day trips all over Tuscany including Arezzo, Sienna, Florence,
Cortona, and the entire Chianti region. All are within an easy
drive. But we also spent a lot of days just around our local
village for coffee at the cafe, dinner at the local restaurant or
in one of the many surrounding villages, shopping at the local farm
or markets, exploring vineyards or hiking through the hills. For a
few extraordinary weeks, we felt like we were living in Tuscany!
The owners, Alessandra and Massimo, were wonderful and always
extremely easy to contact. They made sure we were comfortable in
the villa, cooked two delicious Tuscan meals for us on the terrace
(a must for your stay!), and were a wealth of information on
anything we needed during our stay. Besides, they are just really
nice people. A couple of our adult children called it the trip of a
lifetime, which I guess is how I would best sum it all up. Thanks
so much for a memorable stay!

Really nice place….excellent accommodation, brilliant pool,
cinema room great hit with children on hot afternoons, lovely
outdoor eating areas, nice location on edge of interesting village
and in easy reach of Sienna, Florence and Arezzo. Owners were
extremely friendly and helpful.
Arrival 12/08/23
What a wonderful week we enjoyed with our adult children and
spouses at the Villa Pergine. Alessandro and Massimo were wonderful
hosts. They live a few miles away but provided great restaurant
advice, van and wine tour booking assistance, and shopped for
breakfast essentials before our arrival. Best of all, they cooked
two wonderful multi-course meals for us which we enjoyed al fresco
on the back patio overlooking the olive grove. The house is a
beautifully restored villa built in the 1600's. It was clean. The
AC was fine even though our stay was during the recent heat wave.
The pool was wonderfully refreshing and cleaned by Massimo every
morning. We enjoyed two delicious sunset dinners at the Ristorante
le Cantine- the only restaurant in town a short walk away. The
house is an easy drive to beautiful Arezzo, Montepulciano, Sienna,
and, of course, Florence.
Arrival 15/07/23
The property was everything and more that we could have asked
for. It was more than spacious for us all (9 adults)...beds, baths,
kitchen, outdoor space. living room were perfect. The host family
(Alessandra and Massimo) were more than willing to show us around
the property, they even went shopping for some essentials so that
we didn't have to rush out to the store when we arrived.. They even
arranged a couple of nights to cook us dinner that was as good as
any restaurant that we ate it. I highly recommend this Villa to
anyone as the location is ideal to use as a starting point to see
this beautiful country. Thank you again Alessandra for sharing your
beautiful home with us, ciao, Jim

We are a group of 9 friends traveling to Italy for 13 days. We were at Villa Benvenuti for 10 days and used it as our base while traveling to various places. The villa is wonderful and has everything we needed and was comfortable and cozy. We had plenty of common spaces to spend time together and as necessary our individual rooms and other spaces to be away from the group from time to time, to read or just relax. The movie room was also a big plus. The pool and hot tub was great to have available. We have several people who enjoy cooking and we found the kitchen well stocked with cookware, serving items and appliances. The town which is steps away from the front gate was great and the people there were very welcoming and friendly. We ate at the restaurant which is walking distance, had coffee in one of the cafes and bought a few grocery items at the store. We even had a need to stop in at the pharmacy, the pharmacist was very helpful and kind.
We requested a cooked meal for our first night. The five course meal was in our top 3 of the entire trip. Alessandra and Massimo and their daughter prepared, served it with wine pairings and were there through the clean up.
Overall, our trip was made better because of this wonderful villa and the hosting of Alessandra and Massimo. They were available for any of our questions and facilitated whatever they could. I really felt we started a friendship and look forward to our next visit, perhaps with our children and grandson.
Thank you!

We just returned after two fantastic weeks. The house is amazing, and you truly feel like you are in a private home. The owners Alessandra and Massimo made two outstanding dinners for us during our stay. (Make sure you book this if and when you visit the house ) Alessandra answered and guided us throughout our visit and made sure everything was in order all the time. We were three families going, and there was plenty of space both inside and outside for everybody to do as they please. We will defiantly come back, not just because of the house but also the people and the fantastic hosts.
