We had a wonderful time!

I want to say that we had a wonderful time. The villa is superb for a family group (6 adults and 6 children, ranging in age from 4 to 11). There is so much space and the villa is superbly equipped, the only thing I couldn't find was an apron, and there was probably one of those somewhere!

The pool and hot tub were very popular with everyone. Massimo worked hard early every morning to make sure everything was clean and tidy. The cinema room was a great asset, somewhere for the children to chill out after a hectic day.

We had a great day out in Florence, taking the train from Montevarchi. Parking near the station was full but there was free parking nearby at the cemetery.

The absolute highlight of the week was the meal prepared and served by Alessandra aided by Massimo. The location under the wisteria is fantastic. The memory of all six children devouring Alessandra's pasta and the superb food and wine for the adults will remain with me.

Alessandra also provided an afternoon of cooking tuition for 3 adults and that was very much appreciated.

I hope that we will be able to return again and appreciate more of the countryside and the wonderful villa. One week was definitely not long enough.

It was gorgeous

Villa Benvenuti was gorgeous! Alessandra and Massimo were absolutely lovely, gracious, and made us feel like family. They were exceptionally kind and responsive to all our needs. The meals they prepared for us were amazing, delicious, and we can't stop raving about them. Everyone hated to leave. We hope that one day we will be able to return!! Highly recommend Villa Benvenuto!!!

Incredible!
Wow what a holiday! This villa is simply incredible. If you’re looking for a taste of Tuscany then book now! The villa is huge with plenty of air con to keep everyone cool in the summer. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very spacious with lots of storage. We were a mixed group of six adults and four children and made full use of the massive pool and sunbathing area and the kids (and adults) loved watching movies, football and playing games in the cinema room. The village is right on the doorstep with an amazing cafe selling coffees, delicious pastries and sandwiches and fresh bread/meat/cheese and most basic groceries you may need. There is also a lovely traditional restaurant a few minutes walk which is delicious and great value. Arezzo is about twenty minutes drive and train station takes you anywhere you want to go and is ultra reliable. Arezzo taxi company is amazing and also very reliable. The main selling point of the villa is Allessandra and Massimo the owners. The villa has been in their family for generations and they do a fantastic job of welcoming you. The communication was excellent from the start and they even did us a shop so we didn’t need to go anywhere the weekend we arrived! The Tuscan Feast they prepared for us on the second week was out of this world and would highly recommend it if you are lucky enough to holiday in this fab villa.

Everything We Had Hoped For And More

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!

Perfect Tuscan Retreat

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.

Tuscany in October 2022

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

Villa Benvenuti October 2022

5 stars

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.
