Treggiaia 4

“ Perfect house with pool and tennis court ”

The house is cozy, clean and well equipped. The pool, outdoor area and private tennis court are really big and amazing. The view is stunning!!! Host is very friendly and shared a list with great recommendations of restaurants and places to visit. The only improvement I can think of is to buy a dishwasher.

Thanks Louis! I agree about the dishwasher but as the kitchen is built of brick we have to wait until they change the whole thing before they can find space to add a dishwasher ... but it is on the to-do list! Dan

“ Sommerferie 2023 ”

Vi havde et fantastisk ophold i villa Treggiaia. Rigtig fin velkomst og meget søde og hjælpsomme ejer som var meget opmærksomme på vores velbefindende.

Overraskede os med lækre pizza og grønsager.

“ Tuscany Retreat ”

The property location was wonderful with views over to the Cliffs of Valdarno. Good to have air-conditioning in the house, but as it was so hot would have been nice to have this downstairs as well for the evenings.

Niccolo was very helpful and made sure we had everything we need. Very nice to receive a bottle of Chianti which was wonderful and the treat of the arrival of occasional plates of canapés from the owners.

Location generally was good just than everywhere is a reasonable drive of about an hour or so if you want to see the main sites.

Thank you to the owners for being so welcoming.

“ Lovely holiday at Treggiaia ”

Enjoyed a lovely time at Treggiaia. Very comfortable villa with beautiful pool and outdoor facilities. Spectacular views and privacy added to our enjoyment and the warm welcome from Laura, the owner, and her grandson, Niccolo, made it more personal. Friendly and professional experience from ‘Invitation to Tuscany’ made us feel valued clients.

“ Just a perfect vacation ”

We have a great and relaxing time in this beautiful villa surrounded by beautiful countryside. The location is perfect for trips to Florence, Siena, Arezzo, etc. A nice walk in the Le Balze nature reserve is also recommended. Many thanks to our very nice and helpful hosts Niccoló and his grandma. We'd love to come back. Kind regards Nicole, Helmut, Hannah and Emma

“ Prachtige omgeving ”

Heel mooi prachtig in de heuvel gelegen huis. Ontvangst door eigenaar was zeer aangenaam zeer vriendelijke en gastvrije mensen. Groot zwembad waar vanuit het uitzicht schitterend is. Huis zeer schoon en comfortabele. Dit is zeker een aanrader.

“ Beautiful converted Barn with fabulous panoramic views ”

Our hosts greeted us with a lovely warm smile that set the tone for our stay. The accommodation exceeded our expectations, the pool was lovely and a reasonable size for the four of us to mess around in and the views across the vineyards were amazing. The location is quite remote and we were tempted to give 4/5 for this as it frustrated a little at times (hyper market 15 min drive) but in fairness if you book accommodation in the Tuscan hills what do you expect?! . Our hosts live adjacent to the property and would just check on us from time to time which was lovely, otherwise we barely saw anyone. A great spot to stay if you are visiting Florence as we did- It’s around 40 mins in the car and the road was clear each time we made the trip. Arezzo is also worth a look to the south.

“ Wonderful Location ”

Delightful stay at Treggiaia. Perfectly located for exploring Sienna, Florence (take the train from San Giovanni Valdarno - much easier than driving), San Gimignano etc. Great pool and very comfortable villa. The little things that make a difference - very well researched local restaurant suggestions take the guess work out. And a very welcome selection of antipasti provided to welcome us from our lovely hosts along with a lovely bottle of Chianti Classico. Really love the independent and friendly nature of Dan and team at invitation to Tuscany. What are you waiting for ? Book now!

“ We returned to Treggiaia after 19 years ”

We returned to Treggiaia after 19 years and it was as lovely as we’d remembered and a perfect place to bring our kids to get away from it all for a week.

The house is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Outside, the terrace is a perfect place for eating together with lovely views of the sunset. The swimming pool is idyllic and the two parasols provide plenty of shade.

We appreciated the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night time, too. La Treggiaia is a great base from which to explore Tuscany, with Lucca, Florence, Siena and Arezzo all within easy reach by car. Definitely recommend hiring bikes in Lucca! We had a very warm welcome from Niccolò and Signora Matassini and have already booked to return next year. Thank you for a lovely holiday. Ci vediamo l’anno prossimo!

“ A lovely relaxing place to stay ”

Our family had a wonderful stay at Treggiaia. The location is beautiful and the views exceptional. The lovely pool and tennis court meant we could keep cool and do a bit of exercise even on lazy days.

The station is only a short drive away meaning trips to Florence were easy to do. The owners were nearby and very charming and helpful.

“ A great place to recharge ”

Amazing stay, in a nice secluded environment, a great place to recharge. Very nice owners they are very attentive to details. Would love to visit again soon!

“ Great stay ”

The villa was a perfect stay, a bit out of the way but very peaceful.

Pool was amazing and Niccólo was incredibly helpful.

Air-conditioning in rooms was great and the villa had everything we needed.

Would recommend going back but make sure to have some itinerary items planned in advance so you know where to travel!

We went to Florence, San Gimigano, Siena and the Chianti region.

Thanks again! Danny and Hannah

“ Geweldige accommodatie! ”

We hebben 2 schitterende vakantie weken gehad in dit prachtige huis. Zwembad was fantastisch. Veel gebruik gemaakt van de mooi gelegen tennisbaan. Adembenemend uitzicht!

“ We had a most wonderful time in Treggiaia ”

We had a most wonderful time in Treggiaia. The location was perfect for us. Close enough to reach bigger cities and do sight seeing and out in the country for a restful holiday. The house was well equipped and the pool was lovely and well looked after. We also made use of the Tennis court which was great to have. The host family were an absolute delight. Very helpful with information and giving us a fantastic Tuscan experience. We enjoyed Treggiaia for its peacefulness and natural beauty. We had great fun exploring the surrounding villages and having day trips to Siena, Arrezzo and other places. Can’t really recommend any restaurants as we ate “at home” each night. Would certainly recommend it to other people.

Thank you also for being in touch with us before we went and sending us all the useful information and directions - it was much appreciated and helpful.

“ .....cannot recommend it highly enough ”

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying in Treggiaia and cannot recommend it highly enough. It was exactly what we hoped for when we imagined our trip to Tuscany. Set in beautiful countryside but within easy reach of Florence and other gems like Siena and San Gimignano, it was the perfect spot for exploring the area - although we also enjoyed our lazy days by the pool. The villa itself was charming and perfect for our needs (the pictures don't do it justice). What really made it such a special place to stay was the hosts, who made us feel welcome and at ease from the moment of our arrival. They were on hand whenever we needed them (for tourism tips or delicious homemade snacks) but very respectful of our privacy at all times.

We fully endorse the other reviews and comments on this site. If you are looking to get away from the stress of work and unwind in a beautiful scenery - or if you are looking for a base to explore Tuscan culture - this is the perfect spot. And the people are lovely too. We would definitely go back again.

“ We would definitely stay there again ”

We stayed at La Treggiaia at the beginning of June to celebrate my Mum's 60th birthday. We couldn't recommend it enough - the villa was the ideal base for a relaxing holiday exploring Tuscany.

The location is beautiful, overlooking the valley from the side terrace and surrounded by the grounds of the owners' farmhouse. The barn conversion has been done very tastefully and is spotlessly clean, the photos don't do it justice!

The owners were so welcoming, bringing over homemade bruschetta and answering any questions we had. We would definitely stay there again.

“ We absolutely love Treggiaia ”

We absolutely love Treggiaia. The house is perfect, the pool is to die for and the surrounding scenery is wonderful. We have stayed twice now. The family really look after you, bringing little homemade treats for you. There are a couple of lovely restaurants in the nearby villages which are not too expensive. The train station is about 10 minutes away so a trip to Florence is a must. We were very fortunate this year to see the grape harvest taking place which is something we were in awe of !! Invitation to Tuscany are our "go to" company for our Italian holidays :-)

“ We greatly enjoyed our holiday at Treggiaia ”

We greatly enjoyed our holiday at Treggiaia. It is a delightful property in a delightful spot, with a splendid pool and attentive owners on hand (who provided everything from fresh linen to fresh apricots!). There is a lovely covered terrace for outdoor eating, with nice views and complete privacy, with a tennis court on hand too. Being able to go to Florence and Arezzo by train from the local station was a real bonus (though finding parking at the station was a bit of a problem). As it was a heatwave throughout our stay, the air conditioning in the bedrooms was especially welcome.The house amenities, while quite adequate, do need a bit of refreshing though. For example, the bed had a protruding spring, and there were no dishes for the oven (though one was supplied immediately when we asked for it). But these are minor quibbles in relation to an exceptionally lovely property.

The location is somewhat off the usual tourist trail, which meant that only Italian was spoken locally and there is not the range of restaurants or other amenities that might normally be expected. What would have been really useful was a visitors' book (which is nearly always provided in properties we have stayed in) in which people can recommend places to visit, eat etc. There was some basic information provided by the property itself, but the absence of a visitors' book was a significant omission in terms of advice on where to go and what to do, especially useful in a less visited area.

But the main verdict is emphatically positive. It is a wonderful property. We would also add that it has been refreshing dealing with a travel company that delivers such a helpful and personal service to its clients.

Thank you very much for your comments about Treggiaia - we'll raise your points with the owner via email and also when we visit in September, and will also help her make a more complete house book, we have templates for that! Thanks, Dan W.

“ ...the holiday was really enjoyable and care-free ”

My family and I spent a lovely holiday in Tuscany last week, staying at Treggiaia. I just want to let you know that the service we received from 'Invitation to Tuscany' was excellent and pass on my thanks to you and the team. While we where there, the property owner, Michela, was also fantastic. She could not have been more accommodating and helpful, which made the holiday a real pleasure. To name but a few examples: after we enquired about the curtains in the bedrooms (due to a light-sleeping baby) she arranged for blackout blinds to be professionally installed in the bedroom in the few hours between the previous guests departing and our arrival. She also lent us her mother's microwave to sterilise baby milk bottles, and ensured the house was immaculate, including fresh flowers and some provisions for our first night, in case we hadn't had time to visit the shops. All in all, the holiday was really enjoyable and care-free for the whole family; I wouldn't hesitate in recommending 'Invitation to Tuscany'.

“ We very much enjoyed our stay at Treggiaia ”

We very much enjoyed our stay at Treggiaia. The Villa itself is beautiful, very well equipped and comfortable, pool and garden area fantastic. The owner Michaela was very friendly and on hand when necessary - especially as we arrived late! All in all we were really happy with our choice and we would recommend Treggiaia as a lovely place to stay and explore Arezzo. We intend to come back out again this year and would not hesitate to rebook.

“ We had a wonderful and relaxing week at Treggiaia.. ”

We had a wonderful and relaxing week at Treggiaia - couldn’t fault it at all!

The weather fantastic, so much so that other than a couple of trips to COOP, we only went to Florence (took the train - fantastic!) and Arezzo . . . and of course the Prada outlet!

Spent the rest of the time playing tennis, swimming and generally chilling out by the pool which was exactly what we all needed. Steve also hired a road bike from Greve and had a great time exploring the area on two wheels.

Nonna and her grandson were lovely and very welcoming. The welcome goodies were very gratefully received as were Nonna’s bruschettas on Sunday morning.

As always, everyone at Invitation to Tuscany make it so easy and stress-free to arrange a holiday, it’s a pleasure to book with you.

Thanks again
