it was good
A few miles east of Siena put us in a good location to take day trips to Pisa, Florence, Siena. We even took the train 2 hours north to Venice for an over night out from the train station out of Siena. We had the chef, Emily, come in for one night and cook us a nice dinner. We ate in front of the fireplace in the living room. We wanted two bathrooms and we were just two people. It worked out very well. Barbara, the owner is very pleasant and is willing to accommodate. One morning we took the day off from day trips and took a long walk in the country away from the Villa which is recommended.
Beautiful villa
La Bianca is a lovely place to stay. It is beautifully appointed and has an elegance that doesn't detract from comfort. It was a wonderful place to return to after a day of exploring the countryside. We had exceptional weather for October - 30 degrees - so we enjoyed the pool almost every day. Our hosts were very nice, although we didn't see them very much. When we arrived, we were greeted by one of their staff , "B", who even led us to the nearest grocery store and back so we wouldn't get lost.
Great place for a large group, exceptional views, perfect isolation.
everything was just perfect. the staff was great, the accommodations were just right and the amenities were great. We did not have to eat out for dinners as the on-site staff cooked extremely delightful meals. Absolutely fabulous where you can relax or be active. The villa property manager (not on-sight) was always available and wanting to know if she could be of assistance or make our stay better.
Memorable family time
The house was beautifully decorated, the location fantastic, the whether wonderful. Simply awesome for some family time. The welcome day was hectic and air-conditioners do not work well.
A lovely experience
We had a wonderful time in our villa. It was perfectly located and a great place for the kids to be.
Luxury living in Tuscany
Our villa was amazing. It was absolutely beautiful and every detail was thought out and implemented perfectly. Service from the staff was excellent.
Jacopa and Rosa are wonderful people and I am glad we got to know them
It was wonderful having our entire family together. The villa was all I hopd it would be. Any problems we encountered were not do to the villa. However, the car rental arrangements made by your firm were most unsatisfactory. The price was not as quoted and we were allowed the cars for 1 day less than quoted with no change in the costa. The rental person was rude and abrasive. Never again! Despite this, the beauty and enchantment of Italy captured all of us. We loved our time at the Villa di Corsano. The beautiful vistas and the quaint villages of Tuscany leave an imprint on one's soul. But above all the warmth and caring of Jacopo and Rosa made us feel like family from the momentwe arrived until our tearful departure.They are a treasure.
Great feeling of the Real Tuscany! excellent property and staff!
My friends and I had a wonderfull experience, I will definetely reccomend it to the people I know.
A Tuscan Experience
The location and amenities in the villa were perfect for visiting Central Tuscany.
Enjoyable trip to Italy
Great time in Italy. First time at a villa and in general it was what we expected. Staying at the villa allowed us to spend time together after long days of visiting Tuscan Hill Towns instead of going to our separate hotel rooms. The property was located in a lovely setting near to Siena which was nice. The bathrooms were a lot smaller than anticipated with one of the showers being too small for any adult to use. The rest of the villa was comfortable.

Everyone enjoyed themselves.
The Villa was lovely, private and well appointed. The space was good with room for people to spread out. Ken did an excellent job and was very nice. It was important that he spoke some English in order to communicate with Franco. You might consider adding screens to bedroom windows as several people had problems with biting insects.
I am going to add items that should be in para 8 but I ran out of room:
We did have issues with no electricity that were resolved and then no hot water in the apartment and that too was resolved within the day.
The photo of the view from the pool is misleading and this was one of the key criteria for some guests.
Very beautiful and relaxing!
Rather than travel all over to see the many sights Italy offers, we spent most of our time at the Villa or in and around the area. The Villa is exceptionally well laid out with Queen or King beds for 6 couples, which is hard to find in Europe. It also offers great opportunities to relax around the pool or sitting by the vineyard, for those who may need some respite from their daily routines.
The local area offers lots of sight seeing opportunities and you don't need to be a road warrior to experience Italy at it's best. Forget the big tourist attractions and enjoy what is at hand! The local people are very friendly and love it when you appreciate their food and wine. The only thing that could be imroved is the shower facilities. Two of the three Villas have small showers, one has an exceptional walkin shower, other than that nothing is left wanting. All in all I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Best Vacation ever
We have only one comment, we were offered a Balloon ride which was quite expensive and although it was not that bad it really wasn´t what we expected, the ride was a little short, we were shown absolutely no "medieval town" from the air and the Chianti breakfast really could have been a little better. We believe that´s one experience or provider that could be improved.

Villa Ferraia is charming, elegant and welcoming.
The owner of the Villa and his staff were kind and gracious hosts and immediately made us feel like welcomed visitors to their home. The location of the villa offers magnificent vistas, with breathtaking sunsets. The staff made no assumptions and made every effort to meet our requirements. They were extremely flexible and were extraordinarily efficent in meeting our needs. Meals were prepared to fit our rschedule and menus were discussed in advance, with every effort to assure our satisfaction.
La Sassaia stay for Shundrawn Thomas and party.
We had an excellent stay. The location was very good and the villa specialist made the trip very manageable. Although we had some communication challenges with the staff they were very warm and went out of their way to serve us. Versus other villas we've booked through Luxury Retreats the price-to-value was not as attractive. But this is relative. We would recommend Luxury Retreats as we have in the past based on this experience and we would recommend the villa with the proper context per my comments here and below.

great food, great prosecco and a lovely time!
I loved your attentive service and attention to detail!
Andrew and Pascal were amazing and everything was set up beautifully, from the car rentals and baby seats to the pickup from the airport and the prompt and vigilant replies to requests.
i appreciated the personal service and ability to reach someone on the phone and not receive endless voicemails etc.
Andrew also worked so hard to give us the best deal possible.
i thought the place was alright, not amazing but it worked out beautifully and we had a great time anyway. it's sometimes hard to tell online exactly what something will look like and the ceilings in the bedrooms in the main house we're teeny, and John and I are tall so we felt a little claustrophobic. but it was our pick so no fault of yours. And it was very suitable for kids and close to a tone of villages and the owners were lovely.
So all in all satisfied though I'd picj something newer next time :)
