Lovely Tuskany holiday in a lively italian village

The Villa Elena is a beautiful house with a well kept beautiful park. Our apartement was as described and met all our expectations. Pool, parking and a lot of places to sit in sunshine or shade. The Sforzinis are very helpful and accomodating and couldn't care more for their guests. Big plus was the village of Guardistallo with restaurants, bars, mini-market -no need really to start the car in the evenings for a good meal! Absolutely recommended! Thank you, Ladies!

Absolutely fantastic!

I just say - we never wanted to leave this place! In the apartment we had all we needed and it was perfect, nice and clean. Best of all was the garden, even better then the pictures we had seen. A big, so beautiful garden and the children just loved it as much as we did! Fantastic playgrounds and we could sit by the barbeques and eat for a long time while they were playing and discovering all paths. A great pool, a cosy town, well located (beaches, Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena, Florence...), very friendly and helpfull owners - Everything was great! We will come back and we will defintely recommend this to everyone!

Wunderbarer Urlaub

In dem kleinen Ort Guardistallo ist diese wunderschöne alte Villa mit schönen Gästehäusern. Die Anlage bietet alles was man sich zum Zeitvertreib wünschen kann: Grillgelegenheiten, schöne Sitzplätze, Pool, Tischtennis, Kicker, Boule...einen schönen und gepflegten Spielplatz für die Kleinen. Und Aussicht aufs Meer und unzählige Olivenhaine. Die Betreiber sind sehr zuvorkommend und lesen einem die Wünsche von den Augen ab. Zudem kann man alle Absprachen auch auf Deutsch treffen, was sehr hilfreich ist. Allgemein sehr zu empfehlen, fernab vom Trubel der Massen.

About the host

Hosted by Family Sforzini

Why they chose this property

Virgilio Marchionneschi decided to built a house suitable for the changed needs of his family and farming enterprise. With this in mind, on the 22.02.1878 he purchased the old cemetery land next to the church and rectory.
He immediately started building a beautiful mansion to use as a home, with every comfort for his family and guests.
In the basement there were ample rooms for the needs of the farm: the olive press, a big cellar, grain stores and several store-rooms for the preparation and storage of the various products, which came from the numerous farms belonging to the property.
He also set up a precious archive of documents, books and religious objects in a small chapel consecrated to Cardinal Pacelli, future pope.
The mansion was called “Villa Elena”, probably in honour of Queen Elena of Savoia.
Virgilio lived there with his wife, and they were blessed with the birth of three children: Giulio, Fabio and Elena.
When he died, in 1920, his son Fabio inherited the villa, while Giulio inherited a similar villa situated in the Commune of Montescudaio.
On the death of Fabio Marchionneschi in 1938, following various successions “Villa Elena” passed to Elena Marchionneschi.
Her son, Piero Sforzini transformed the villa into a tourist structure in 1961 and nowadays the Hotel-Residence “Villa Elena” is patronized by a range of international clientele.

What makes this property unique

Very quiet residence in the village of Guardistallo, only 10 minutes by car from the sea of Cecina.
You will be in the centre of Tuscany, so you can make many excursions, and have a general idea of our nice country.
