The property has been recently restored from a 17th-century farmhouse, preserving its original Tuscan charm — vaulted ceilings, stone staircases, and majestic chestnut-beamed ceilings. 3. Ground floor: 3 ensuite bedrooms (one with vaulted ceilings, two with exposed chestnut beams), 1 fully equipped kitchen, and 1 living room with fireplace and satellite TV. 4. First floor: 2 living rooms with fireplaces, satellite TV, and sofa beds; 2 fully equipped kitchens; 2 ensuite bedrooms. The entire floor features chestnut-beamed ceilings. 5.

It includes a king-size bed, wardrobe, safe, minibar, coffee machine, kettle, dining table with three chairs, and air conditioning. The highlight is a state-of-the-art whirlpool bath — 2 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, comfortably accommodating three people, with ergonomic headrests, 10 Whirlpool jets and 16 Airpool jets, 10 adjustable power levels (manual or automatic), and underwater lighting. The bathroom features a travertine marble sink, bidet, toilet, hair dryer, welcome toiletries, towels, and an elegant travertine marble emotional shower with chromotherapy and three water flows (cascade, rain, and mist). 6. The Villa does not require A/C: the thick stone walls, 450-meter elevation, and a constant gentle breeze keep all rooms pleasantly cool even on the hottest summer days. 7.

Valerio is the best host possible, property is wonderful. Everyone (10 of us) loved pizza night with Sandro, made 14 different toppings, pizzas. Hired gourmet chef Sophie for dinner for 10. Cooked, cleaned, served and cleaned up for all of us. Really everything was perfect.
Our two-week stay at Valerio’s stunning villa was truly unforgettable. The home is beautiful, the views from every window were incredible and the perfect setting for a memorable getaway with friends. We were a large group who never tired of the pool, the sunsets, or the comfortable spaces around the house to gather. Valerio was an exceptional host — warm, attentive, and always available when we needed him. His recommendations, including incredible private chefs, made our experience even more special. If you have a chance to have Vincenzo cook for you, take it! We had wondered about the lack of AC in the main house, but it was never an issue; the evenings were wonderfully cool and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and hope to return someday.
This villa exceeded our expectations in every way…. The location is just divine and the property is kept up beautifully. I never wanted to leave the pool area. Many amenities and services are offered, take advantage of the pizza chef, you won’t regret it….. Valerio was a perfect host. Having a rental car is ideal in this area though we made due with taxi services for our week. I would return without hesitation.
We had an excellent time and our host Valerio, made the experience perfect for us as he was responsive and is such a kind person! The accommodations were comfortable and beautiful, in an idyllic setting! We will definitely be back!
We had a great week at the villa. First, the view is incredible. It feels so private and the view from the back porch of the hills is breathtaking. The location is very central between Volterra and San Gimignano. We also booked at the restaurant a few nights and Paula’s cooking was great!
Overall a great stay that I would recommend to anyone.
My family of eleven stayed at Valerio's Villa for my 70th birthday and had a wonderful time. He was a great host and would highly recommend this place.My son enjoyed using the pizza oven and BBQ. The grandchildren loved all the open space to play, and we all enjoyed the pool.The Villa was close to many walled cities to visit.Everyone loved the meals and cooking class with Maria.The family dinners we had on the patio over looking the Tuscan countryside were unbelievable!!
This is a lovely house in a beautiful setting. Our family, ranging in age from 6 to 73, had a blast cooking, swimming, hiking, exploring, and chilling on the veranda. Valerio and Paola are not only perfect hosts (and chefs), but affable, easy going and fun.
Our two weeks here were unforgettable. Thank you for everything!
This property is amazing, spacious, all the things you could want in the kitchens. The location of the property was central to many day trips to surrounding villages/cities.
The owners are so friendly and will do anything to help make your stay enjoyable, giving great advice on places to go. The recommendation of walking tour in Volterra was a particular highlight.
Each day returning to the stunning views from the properties outdoor veranda for Prosecco & nibbles. My family & I would definitely recommend this property
My family and I spent the last week at the villa and had a wonderful time despite some rainy weather.
The villa is in a beautiful location, well maintained and extremely clean.
We booked an onsite chef who prepared a fabulous dinner, we also booked the pizza chef who created the best pizza we had on the trip, he is a true artist!
Valerio is an excellent host, very accessible and quickly responds to any questions or requests.
We would not hesitate to stay here in the future.
I highly recommend it to anyone looking to vacation in Tuscany.
We stayed here for 2 weeks with all of our children and 2 grand kids we had a blast property is just mesmerizing. We visited several cities which we were centrally located to. We made meals at the house that were just awesome and fun to do. Brick oven was a highlight. Valerio made us feel welcome and like family. Made many improvements over this last off season. The new pool and landscaping are beautiful.
We look forward to returning.
Thank you Valerio
Our group had the most wonderful stay at Valerio’s villa. It had everything we needed for our week long stay. There were so many areas to chill and dine. The two upper apartments were a great surprise and perfect for couples who want their own space. The pool and surrounding countryside is spectacular! We hired a pizza chef for 2 nights on Valerios recommendation and he did not disappoint. Delicious pizza for days! We also hired another chef Sophie who cooked for our group another 2 nights. 4 course meals of our choosing. They were also divine. Don’t hesitate staying here, we were all sad to go and would go back in a heartbeat! Valerio is an amazing host and is a stones throw away if you need but gives you the privacy and makes you feel like it’s your home while you’re there, not his! Thanks again
We celebrated our silver wedding anniversary there with friends and would do it again.
The villa is as described. The pool is high quality and everything is very tastefully decorated. The location and the view are marvellous. Hikes were possible directly from the villa. We also had Maria as our cook and Sandro as our pizza chef. Both were great and spoilt us with their dishes.
As it was unfortunately already too cool for us to eat outside in the evenings and mornings, we sat in the living room of the ground floor flat. For our guests who had their rooms there, it was a bit noisy in the morning when Maria was preparing breakfast. It was also very cramped in terms of space. This would not have been the case if we had been able to sit outside in the warm weather.
If you want the perfect Tuscan Country stay, stop searching and book this property. The spectacular villa, pool and grounds guarantee a wonderful stay but the amazing hosts, Valerio and Paola, are what makes it an unforgettable experience. They are genuinely kind and sincere people who treated us like family. Valerio was responsive to all of my questions and always had a solution. His massage was compared to the best our friend has had at top end spas around the world. We ate four dinners at the Villa and Paola's cooking was beyond compare. Simple, local, rustic dishes made with the freshest ingredients and served with a smile. Our son is a prospective Chef and Paola welcomed him into her kitchen and shared local knowledge and techniques without reservation. we made incredible Tuscan pizza in the wood fired oven. The property is so peaceful and serene and the sunsets are to die for. Relaxing by the pool or cooling off after a long day touring Tuscany were perfect compliments. I could go on and on. We have stayed at dozens of rental properties around the world. Villa Le Ginepraie stands out as the best we have ever visited. Salute Valerio and Paola - we most definitely hope to visit you again soon!
We stayed at Valerio's villa with our family this July. Complete with our "kids" and their partners or friends.
The place in the middle of the fields is absolutely magnificent, the view is breathtaking and the villa has everything you need to have a wonderful stay.
The house was spic and span, every room has its bathroom (towels and soap are provided), the new infinity pool is top notch (with enough sunbeds and sun umbrellas) and fenced if you have young children, the kitchen has all necessary equipment.
The location is extremely quiet, away from all hustle.
Possibilities enough for walks or longer hikes.
The villa has a large shaded deck on the front of the house (sunset side!), but also tables in other places so you always have somewhere to sit in the shade if you want.
Your host Valerio goes through every possible way to accomodate your stay and make it a truly relaxing experience. Always available and happy to help in any way.
The pool is cleaned every day, the garden is great and very well maintained.
We asked if he could recommend somebody for the catering of meals and we highly recommend you ask him if Sandro is available for a pizza-evening. (Forgot to mention the villa actually has a traditional outside pizza-oven!)
Sandro makes the most delicious pizza's with local ingredients. Not the average tomato and mozarella pizza's too. Let him surprise you. And keep a place for the dessert-pizza!
If you like Tuscany, this is defenitely a place you may not miss!
Locatie met buitengewoon vakantiegevoel.Optimaal onderhouden zwembad en chloorvrij. Aanrader. Prettige ontvangst en behulpzame uitbater, Valerio.Aanrader.
Wir waren mit der ganzen Familie eine Woche in der Unterkunft. Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Die Unterkunft ist sehr schön, genau wie auf den Bildern und in der Beschreibung. Die Besitzer Paola und Valerio sind sehr nett und freundlich.
Wunderschöner Urlaub in ruhiger Lage und Haus mit exzellenten Gastgebern
Wir sind mit befreundeten Paaren verreist, die ebenfalls Kinder haben. Das Haus ist perfekt eingeteilt mit 3 riesigen Appartments. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist groß und sehr schön, super ausgestattet mit allem was man braucht. Die Villa ist super in Schuss und die Räumlichkeiten sehr sauber. Das Pool wird jeden Abend vom Vermieter gereinigt und die Gartenanlage regelmäßig gemäht. Bei Fragen stehen die Vermieter jederzeit zur Verfügung, halten sich aber während des Aufenthalts sehr im Hintergrund, sodass wir uns nie gestört oder beobachtet gefühlt haben. Wir haben das Frühstück dazu genommen, was liebevoll von den Gastgebern hergerichtet war und auf einer der Terrassen serviert / als Buffet angerichtet war.
Wir sind mehr als zufrieden gewesen und würden auf jeden Fall wieder buchen!
Wir haben eine Woche in diesem wunderbaren Haus verbracht – zwei Familien, 4 Erwachsene und 4 Teenager – es war für uns die ideale Unterkunft. Weit weg vom Trubel inmitten der wunderschönen, bereits herbstlichen, Landschaft.
Obwohl Mitte Oktober, wurden wir mit angenehmen Temperaturen verwöhnt. Wir konnten noch jeden Abend draussen essen. Den Pool haben die Kids tagsüber kurz genutzt, dafür war es aber doch schon etwas zu kühl.
Die Ausstattung im Haus (in den 3 Wohnungen) ist prima, es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. Der Kontakt mit Paola und Valerio war sehr angenehm. Sie waren sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit und es hat alles bestens geklappt – wir kommen gerne wieder!
This villa was everything we expected. The location was is perfect. There are several different trails in the area, perfect for both hiking and running. The villa itself is clean, cosy and there is lots of space. We all loved the pool area so much! Paula and Valerio are excellent hosts in every way. They made us a lovely dinner and breakfast. Thank you so much!
Wunderschön und idyllisch gelegen ist das Haus ein absoluter Traum, ergänzt durch ausgesprochen liebenswerte und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Wir haben den Aufenthalt wirklich sehr genossen und können dieses Angebot uneingeschränkt empfehlen.
Vielen Dank an Paola und Valerio
Absolutely wonderful in so many ways. Our stay at the Villa included both family and friends coming and going for the entire month. We wanted a gathering place in Tuscany and Le Ginepraie was everything we had hoped for and more. Valerio, Paola and Viola are the best! From amazing dinners by Paola, massage by Valerio, quiet talks with Viola, walking the trails, and visiting nearby towns memories were created here, so grateful for all that we saw and experienced during our stay there.
