A Piece of Paradise in Tuscany

Villa Iris exceeded all our expectations. The property is beautiful and very functional. Gabriele and Lucia, the owners, definitely had luxury vacationers’ needs and desires in mind when designing and developing this property. It is completely fenced in with a security system. The information in the owners’ description and amenities sections are accurate. But just like the photos, the real thing is much better. The kitchen is spacious enough to accommodate several people without feeling crowded. If you enjoy cooking, you will love this place.The sink is very wide. The fridge is huge and ice is always available. It has all the equipment you need including a ham slicer and a proper wine cellar with dual zone temperature control. In the covered patio area, there are three sofas in addition to the big dining table. There are also two sitting rooms with sofas and day beds adjoining the kitchen and the patio area; thus there is plenty of space for everybody to get some privacy or to take a nap. You always feel relaxed. The owners and team provided exceptional service; Gabriele and Lucia’s care and attention also added a personal touch. They welcomed us at Villa Iris with a nice buffet and a lot of wine. Gabriele was very kind, brought me to the local market and introduced me to the best butcher in Poggibonsi. Lucia, who used to run her own restaurant in Florence, cooked three unforgettable Tuscan meals for us. A stay at Villa Iris is not complete without experiencing a dinner prepared by Lucia. Don’t miss it. Thanks to Christine, Lucia’s assistant who speaks fluent English, we were able to have fun and interesting conversations with both Gabriele and Lucia. Martina, who handles bookings, served as our concierge. She booked wine tours with very well connected guides, arranged private car transportation, and made sure everything went smoothly. The cleaning staff was discreet and effective. We had such a pleasant and relaxing time. Our children did’t want to leave. We highly recommend Villa Iris.

Wonderful Villa in Tuscany

Our family of ten had a fantastic time during our stay. There was plenty of room (and privacy) for everyone and we loved the pool and the bocce court. Caterina and Gabriele were wonderful hosts, who were incredibly helpful throughout. The Villa's location was convenient to towns, shopping, vineyards, etc. We are already discussing when we might make a return visit.

Amazing Villa!

We had a group of 4 staying at the Villa Iris and after 2 years of rescheduling due to Covid we finally made it in May 2022. The communication over the 2-3 year span was prompt and friendly. They were willing to work with us through all the difficulties and it was appreciated. The Villa is incredible and the property and location are unmatched. While we were there the roses were in full bloom and you can't imagine how gorgeous they were. We loved coming back after a long day of being tourists and relaxing by the pool. Others have said you can walk to San Gimignano from the Villa and while it is definitely possible it is a difficult hike on narrow roads that seemed uphill both ways! It's wonderful for exercise but not something I would do on my way to a dinner in town. The kitchen is wonderful and has many incredible features, especially the wine fridge for all the bottles we bought during our day trips. The kitchen is stocked with all the cooking appliances you might need however, there were little to no supplies to work with if you plan on cooking so be sure to bring your own or plan on buying from the grocery store the first day (For example, salt/pepper, oil, napkins, foil, baggies, herbs and spices etc...). Same for the bathroom essentials....buy your own soap, hand soap, paper products etc. The cleaning service was a nice detail and they didn't arrive too early in the day. The owners and management were lovely people who were clearly happy to have us. We would absolutely come back again! Thank you so much for a wonderful trip.

Tuscany Dream Trip Came True!

Our group of 10 adults stayed at Villa Iris for a week this month-September 2019. I have to say that upon arrival and being guided around the Villa and the property, I actually started to cry! We had been planning this for so long and to see this most beautiful Tuscan property that we could call home even for a week, rocked my soul! From our initial contact via email with Caterina, Lucia and Gabriele everything went smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble. They helped us along the way prior to arriving and during our stay with reccommendations and reservations. We had 2 delicious evenings when Lucia, Caterina and Sara came for our cooking class and our final dinner. The Villa inside and out fit us perfectly. We ate outside everyday at the long table because our weather was wonderful. The kitchen has everything you would require and more. Seriously, I cannot recommend Gabriele and the team more highly. I would love to return and stay at Villa Sarah which is their brand new property within walking distance of Villa Iris. Either property has magical views- sunsets and sunrises. We found the location was ideal for day trips, walks, dinning out, shopping, quite and beautiful scenery. We rented 2 cars from San Gimignano which worked out well. Gabriele, Chef Lucia, Caterina and Sara you are all very special people and truly helped give us our dream holiday in Tuscany! We cannot thank you enough for your kindness and assistance. "Grazie!!"

Beautiful

My family stayed at Villa Iris for a week in December. This Villa is perfect for a family or a group of friends. Each bedroom is set up with its own bath, the kitchen is fantastic and the large dining room table helps to create wonderful memories. We didn't get to enjoy the pool as the weather was quite cold but the guys played ping pong well into the wee hours of the morning! The location of the Villa is perfect for day trips to Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and the wine country. The Villa is owned by a welcoming, friendly and gracious host. We will definitely entertain returning to this Villa and will recommend it to our friends and colleagues.
