The Villa in Marliana is absolutely wonderful. Amazing view and atmosphere and a lot of room. Especially for that price we were all very happy with everything. Leonardo did an amazing job, he was really nice and whenever we needed something he responded right away. Nothing we could complain about. :)

La casa es muy linda. La vista es inmejorable y está en un entorno muy tranquilo. Es cierto que al estar en la montaña hay que ir con cuidado en el camino pero al poco tiempo te acostumbras y disfrutas. Todo en la casa estaba en excelentes condiciones, todo funcionando y listo para disfrutar. Leonardo siempre estuvo muy atento y rápido en responder. La primera noche internet no funcionaba y en persona a las 11 de la noche vino a resolver el problema de inmediato. De 10!

Villa Ortensie was a typical Italian Homestead situated high in the hills near Marliana. Access is remote and roads are narrow, but you experience a true Tuscan lifestyle. The Villa is spacious and well equipped with plenty outdoor areas to socialise together. It is strange however to have 3 dining areas but no lounge areas to be together. The most difficult part is that on arrival, when we had travelled far and were tired, the fridges were switched off, the water switched off, the gas switched off. And even after reading a 14-page booklet, we had difficulty activating these services. It would have been welcoming to have these services activated, pending our arrival. We also had a neighbour’s dog howl in loneliness from 4am to 8am on 4 mornings, so we could not sleep. No one could address this issue. We very much enjoyed our stay at Villa Ortensie.
