Beautiful Tranquility in Tuscany
Stunning location, quiet area, lovely host and support team. Donata was very helpful. Monica and her entire family were terrific. We had an amazing time, from an immaculately kept pool, which we used daily, to pasta making lessons from Monica and her lovely family. Nothing was too much trouble. We had a great afternoon in a vineyard and we would highly recommend the local food market in the town on Saturdays. It is a peacful place with many fond memories. On the last evening we sat by the bonfire wishing not to leave and reflecting on our memorable stay.

enchanting villa
Villa Dogana is a fantastic place! Not only the building itself but the extensive grounds. We were a group of eighteen, ages 12 to 73, celebrating my 70th birthday, and everyone loved it, everyone found a different aspect to enjoy: jumping in the pool, playing table tennis, lingering under the trees, a cooking competition in the three kitchens, a treasure hunt, dinner outdoors, dinner in the awesome downstairs dining room, singing and dancing in the moonlight by the pool, and some of us occasionally disappearing in one the three sitting rooms to work. There was something interesting to discover, a delight to be found at every corner. We were nice and cool on the hillside behind the thick ancient walls when the rest of Italy was sizzling under a heat wave. Thank you Donata and Monica!

Family get together in Tuscany
Lovely, relaxing week for family getaway. Pool was especially nice for all. Property is very private, quiet with lots of space for kids to roam around. We asked Monica for prepared meals for 3 dinners and one breakfast and all were exceptional - delicious, on time, lovely presentation. Villa is very well equipped and functional for a large family. Views were spectacular. Florence was a short drive away.

Family Time - Italian Style
We had 24 people ranging from nine months to seventy-four years of age. The rooms were lovely. Our teenage grand daughters thoroughly enjoyed being housed in the turret! The kitchen was very well appointed. The larger room with refrigerators, etc, was a great size for meal preparation. We used every part of this beautiful villa. Most evening meals were prepared, in part, on the outdoor cooking facilities. All enjoyed being able to dine outside! The pool was especially lovely. Equipment for many outdoor sports was provided - and enjoyed! This villa is very convenient to many larger cities. Our families took daily trips to a variety of different areas. They especially enjoyed the lake - visible from the pool! Monica was fantastic. She quickly responded to any concerns and was most helpful answering questions about local resources. Francesco came daily to check on the pool. He was delightful and quick to offer assistance. We highly recommend this venue! David and Roberta Skelton

Great stay for groups. Amazing property, lovely hosts.
We spend four days in the villa for a company retreat, and we had a blast. Because we went there in October the pool was closed, unfortunate for us Dutchies, as the weather was great aka for us it HOT! But that was the only minus. The rest was great. The rooms are well decorated in old-Italian styles, like the rest of the villa. There's a lot of antique treasures in all the rooms, which is very impressive. Two hosts helped us out with anything, and most important: cooked delicious lunches and dinners for us. One afternoon we had a cooking class, and that was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. I can totally recommend going here with a group or family. Communication with the manager of the property was smooth and usually fast. She helped me arranging activities like karaoke (with DJ!) and a trip to Florence with a guided tour. Thanks, Donata & Monica!

Sejour de reve à Dogana
Nous avons passé 15 jours merveilleux en famille à la villa Dogana. La maison est superbe très grande avec un grand parc sans aucun voisinage. La maison est très bien fourni en linge et matériel de cuisine. La piscine a fait le bonheur de tous. Enfin une mention spéciale à Monica et sa fille qui nous ont fait un succulent dîner et un cours de cuisine au cours duquel nous nous sommes bien amusés. Merci à Donata et Monica pour leur gentillesse L

Fantastische tijd & verblijf in deze waanzinnig ambiance
Dit kasteel straalt de allure uit van vroeger tijden, waarbij je wel geniet van eigentijdse luxe. We hebben genoten van de prachtige omgeving op het perceel, de bijzondere inrichting van het kasteel en het gave zwembad. Laat vooral een heerlijke Toscaanse maaltijd voor je koken door Monica. Een dikke 10 van 10 scoort deze accomodatie en de agenten.
