Situated in the heart of Tuscany between Siena and Florence, Villa Contessa is a large top luxury retreat for vacation rentals, ideal for the celebration of important events such as weddings.
This grand home owned for centuries by an Italian aristocratic family is encircled by spectacular gardens offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.

Particularly pleasant are the various furnished terraces, which offer a range of settings in which to enjoy dinner or breakfast.
Guests can enjoy superb and unforgettable dinners either outside or inside the villa.

Comments: imagine the most magical dream you could dream. A beautiful villa set in Tuscan countryside surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards and olive trees. Only it's not a dream. It is the reality called Villa Contessa. My husband and I were lucky enough to experience seven days here with 30 of our closest friends. From the initial greeting the staff made us feel like family. We were treated like royalty especially during our unforgettable welcome dinner. Every morning we woke to a fabulous breakfast before leaving for one of the many nearby towns to experience. The villa offered many options for daily activities and for dinner celebrations. Our gala dinner exceeded all my expectations and left my guests speechless. Their eye for detail was spectacular. It is a place I hope to visit again in the future and would highly recommend.

"It was beyond expectation. 3 weeks of a magnificience of living, dining, and laughing; surrounded by a manager, owner, chef, and complete staff whose sole purpose was to ensure our complete satisfaction. Through highly troubled with flights being cancelled, rooms being changed, additional people remaining, additional people coming before schedule, their professionalism in handling all these unpredicted calamities was to them a small pebble in a large ocean. They were fanastic and made everyday perfect for all of us. Yes, 75 overly happy people."
