Tuscany Dream Villa
I can’t say enough wonderful things about our stay at this Italian gem located in Impruneta! The house itself had such a beautiful old Italian feel with all the modern comforts needed to make your stay perfect. The pool, the various outdoor dining and sitting areas allowed us to be totally emerged in the Tuscany hills. What truly makes this place special is Caterina! She did so much to be sure our first visit to Tuscany was just what we were wanting. She communicated with us well before our actual trip and all throughout. Cate booked all of our transfers, Tuscany excursions and arranged for a delicious home cooked Italian dinner right at the Villa! Our only mistake is that we didn’t stay longer.

I can’t begin to describe how amazing this trip was. Cate was the most amazing host. She arranged so many events, dinners, transportation that made our trip seamless. Her sister was also very helpful. We did pizza making, florentine steak dinner, and pasta making which were all great. Valentina was our guide for pasta and pizza. The villa was perfect for our group of eight.

An absolutely incredible stay!
This was such an amazing experience! Even before our stay Cate was so helpful and coordinated everything we wanted to incorporate into our trip. When we arrived to the villa, check-in was easy and Cate made sure we were comfortable. We were a family of 8 and every en-suite room felt like a completely private area. Each and every room in the house was decorated with such care and beatiful furniture. There were so many areas, both inside and outside, for everyone to relax and enjoy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The villa was clean and very well maintained, not to mention the view! The entire property was picturesque, like a storybook. The beds were super comfortable and the room darkening shutters made for a great sleep for everyone. The main town area is a 5 min drive or a 20 minute walk. We had a dinner prepared by Cate's sister, as well as a breakfast served in the villa..both were wonderful. We also had a pizza class with use of the 17th century oven in the villa, which was a highlight of the trip, so much fun! Not to mention the family wine, which everyone loved! Our only regret is not staying longer. We are all looking forward to returning to Cate, Cecilia, Angela and Paolo's family villa. Thank you so much for an incredible and unforgettable stay!

I have traveled all over the world and I have never had such a beautiful experience! This villa was not only stunning and immaculate but every room had a very sizable bathroom which meant everyone had ample space to be comfortable. The owners, Cate and her family were so kind and loving. They made every detail of the trip perfect. They made every transfer and scheduled all the activities. Everyone we came in contact with was so kind and we all loved the wine tasting and pasta class the best! Cate was in instant communication with us at all times and allowed us to just relax knowing everything would be perfect. The villa is perfectly appointed with many different sitting areas so multiple families would be comfortable here. I can’t wait to come back! 5star experience! The pictures do not even do it justice!

Impruneta Villa 34 Via diFabbiolle
28 October 2023 Villa Property Id 8590341 I highly recommend this Villa. Take the time to look over all the amenities it offers. This is like a home away from home. Ensuite bathrooms, indoor and outdoor dinning areas, indoor and outdoor relaxation areas, heated pool, security, full kitchen, laundry, etc. The Villa location is only about 1.3 miles from Impruneta Italy permitting one to visit via walking. Impruneta has shops, dining, grocery stores, photo opportunities etc. The secret asset to this Villa is hostess Caterina Porzio and family. She goes out of her way to provide her clients assistance be it prior to or after arrival. Need assistance with tour arrangements, transportation, suggested areas to visit, etc. just contact Caterina and it is only a text or call away. She also leaves the list of family contacts should she be unavailable. During our stay Caterina made several changes to our transportation so we could avoid rain potential. Cate’s dedication to client service and the Villa is beyond reproach. You will not be disappointed. This is a 5 STAR Villa and Caterina makes it a 5 STAR+.

Incredible vacation!
This was my second stay at Caterina’s beautiful villa and this time I brought my family I cannot express in words how truly amazing this villa is and how incredibly hard working and kind Caterina and her family are From making dinner reservations to organizing drivers to winery reservations to planning entire days for us, she did it all. The home is immaculately clean, spacious enough for families, convenient to Florence and Sienna and many other villages in Tuscany Imprunetana is a 25 minute walk into town where you can find restaurants and shops. We also had an absolutely delightful cooking class which Cate also planned for us Fantastic! We stayed at the villa for 10 days and wish we could have stayed for month! Maybe next time we will. This villa will not disappoint and we consider Caterina a friend and cannot wait to come back

Gorgeous Tuscany
If you are looking for a spacious house, lovingly maintained and cared for by the family that owns it, and an unbeatable view of the Tuscany hills, this is the place. The home has been owned by Caterina's family for many years and pride of ownership shows. There is plenty of space for everyone - 5 large bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, plenty of seating inside and out for gathering with your family and friends. Our group of 4 couples enjoyed coffee on the terrace every morning and wine in the late afternoon. The villa is in a perfect location to enjoy day trips to the surrounding area. Caterina is a perfect host. She was available to answer our many questions before we even arrived and also during our stay. She helped arrange transportation and tours. We truly enjoyed our time at this beautiful villa.

Heaven on Earth!
We started planning our family trip to Tuscany nearly 2 years ago. From the first time we inquired about the villa, Cate was wonderful to work with. She is just delightful! Always so helpful and caring, and giving her very best to ensure the best experience possible! The villa is breathtaking and was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed all the patios, the pool, the kitchen, the beautiful grounds and spectacular views! We loved hearing the rooster next door welcome each new day! Imprunetta is just over a mile away and we enjoyed walking into town several times for lunch, espresso martinis and, of course, gelato. We especially loved the fabulous dinners prepared and served by Cecilia, Malika and Valentina. Their meals were ‘delicioso’ and abundant, and their charming personalities made us feel more like family than guests. They truly bent over backwards to make sure our every need was not only met, but exceeded. Cate expertly arranged for our transportation to and from the villa from the train station in Florence, as well as to several wineries and a few other nearby towns ~ making sure we were picked up on time and brought back safely. We will never forget our wonderful week at the villa and look forward to returning one day bringing new friends to enjoy the unmatched beauty and hospitality! This ranks with best vacations ever!!

Our Dream Trip
WOW! What a wonderful week we had in our Tuscan Villa. It is a truly beautiful place. This was a trip for the “girls” of our family and we couldn’t have been happier. 5 bedrooms, each with en-suite, was the perfect size for the 5 of us. Lovely Cate helped us plan our trip making arrangements for each day. She made it so easy, with lots of suggestions from which to choose, and making the arrangements for us. From the pasta making class, the Tuscan dinner, trips into Florence and San Gimignano, wine tasting, it all was great. The views from the villa are amazing. Just what you imagine when you think of Italy. This is a family affair which makes it so personal. Thank you Cate, Angela, Cecilia, and Paolo.

Our wonderful family vacation
Our original family trip was planned for 2020. As many travelers found, cancellations were frequently made. Our hostess Caterina kept in touch with me throughout this difficult time. The Villa has many lovely antiques and family possessions. Our family of 9, ages 11-78 were very comfortable with 5 air conditioned bedrooms, each with their own bath. There were many comfortable sitting areas within the Villa and outside. We decided to chose the menus offered by our hostess to enjoy several home cooked Tuscan meals so everyone could relax. We especially liked the grill night which was cooked to perfection. Chef Cecilia and Chef Milaka were very talented and efficient. The pool was in such a lovely setting. It was always clean and refreshing after a long tour day. Our hostess and her family have their hearts in this family Villa and they will help in any way they can to accommodate your requests. Grazie from our hearts to yours. Tom, Carol and Family

Charming Villa
Caterina is one of the sweetest, most accommodating, and helpful hostesses I have encountered in my travels. She is all in, goes out of her way to make her guests feel at home and is always ready to help in anyway possible by making all sorts of helpful recommendations. The rustic house is very cozy, private, well maintained, and has all of the amenities one would need. It’s in the outskirts of Florence, about 30 minutes away by car from all the hustle and bustle of the city. We enjoyed the delicious meals prepared by her sister and the pool was a wonderful way to cool off after visiting the city. We are very grateful for the opportunity to meet such a wonderful person and for being able to stay in such a charming place. Thank You!

What more can we say!!! This charming & beautiful villa was heaven for us and Caterina was our “angel” who looked out for us to assist with all of our needs & requests of which there were many (private drivers & cab transfers, rental car delivery & pick up at the villa, restaurant dinner reservations, day trip tours to local vineyards and so much more). Our family of 10 (3 generations) was excited for our 2 week stay that had been planned for 2 years & we were amazed at how beautiful the villa was. It was a dream come true & Caterina’s passion & pride for her family’s villa was so contagious it made everyone feel to a certain extent that it was our lovely home in Tuscany too! The 5 bedroom made for a most comfortable stay and the inground pool with stunning views overlooking the Tuscan countryside was fabulous & enjoyed by everyone. Caterina provided arrangements for a delicious Tuscan style in villa dinner cooked by her sister Cecilia & a wonderful brunch for our oldest son’s birthday & Caterina surprised him with a fine bottle of Tuscan wine 🍷 We had a pizza class with Valentina & Lorenzo that was so very much fun & we enjoyed our pizzas that were cooked in the villa’s ancient wood oven. We really appreciated how Caterina & Cecilia went above & beyond to ensure for special meals as one member of our family has Celiac disease which required special attention. Caterina is “THE BEST” and her villa is, quite simply, heaven on earth! GRAZIE MILLE!!! Bud & Cindy 😀

Beautiful Villa in Tuscany
I would give this villa a million stars if I could. It must be one of the most beautiful places on earth. The only thing more wonderful than the villa is Caterina. She is so kind and helpful. She made our stay perfect. If you choose this lovely villa, say yes to the breakfast your first morning. It was delicious and we ate the leftover pastries, muesli, and farm-made yogurt for breakfast for the rest of the week. Also definitely do the pizza making class- so much fun and very good to eat. The dinner Cecilia and her friend made for us at the villa was elegant and very good. We also enjoyed the local restaurant Caminetto del Chianti and the wine tasting day that Caterina arranged for us. You will not be disappointed if you stay at Caterina and Cecilia’s family’s villa. I left a little piece of my heart at the villa and hope to return one day to the lovely gardens, amazing views and heavenly jasmine vines perfuming the air.

Excellent Vacation in the Country
This was an excellent location for me to celebrate a momentous birthday. We had six adults in our group, and the villa’s five bedrooms made for perfect accommodations. Everyone had their own space which made the stay very comfortable. The views were breathtaking, the antique furniture exquisite and the kitchen well-stocked with cookware. The walk into Impruneta is a workout with up and down hills, but manageable. The only downside was mosquitoes, but it was the height of the season, so bring some repellent. Aside from the spectacular views and location, the best part was Caterina and her family. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great vacation. In fact, my flight was delayed and Cate stayed awake until 1:00 am to speak to my taxi driver to ensure he could locate the villa. She arranged tours, transports, and was fantastic with every request. We’d definitely like to return!

Beautiful Tuscan Villa
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this villa outside of Impruneta. The house itself is so historic, interesting and clean. Every room is meticulously decorated and organized. It is nice to have a separate bathroom with each bedroom. The property is even better with stunning views of the Tuscan countryside and plenty of room for our 3 young children to roam around. It was a bit cold the week we stayed so we weren’t able to use the pool much but had it been a little warmer, it would have been amazing. Cate was so helpful in organizing rental cars, drivers, and in-home chefs. She even made sure to have a crib and high chair set up for our 17 month old daughter. Overall this is an amazing property and home with really incredible views. The house has many different rooms and places to hang out and we used each and every one of them. We would definitely recommend renting a car to stay here. It’s a bit of walk into town and is needed to explore the countryside and drive to Florence. We stayed with 9 people spanning 3 generations and had a very memorable and unforgettable experience. We hope to come back again one day. Thank you Cate and family for all your hospitality. Grazie mille! :)

Amazing Stay at the villa
My friends and family just returned from a two week stay at the Porzio family’s villa and it was absolutely fabulous! The villa is beautiful. Each room is decorated with the family’s antiques and it truly feels like a Tuscan home. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare meals. We opted to have chef Valentina cook a dinner for us, and it was one of the best meals we had during out stay. She also hosted Pizza night for us and showed us how to make pizza. It was a lot of fun and the pizza’s were great. Each morning, we would sit outside in the common areas and enjoy the picture perfect scenery overlooking the vineyards and olive trees before we headed out for the day. The views are gorgeous from anywhere outside the property. Cate and here family were excellent hosts. I had the pleasure of meeting the entire family and they some of the nicest people you will meet. They are proud of their home and will make sure you holiday is perfect. Cate was always available to provide information on tours, and places to visit. She was always available to answer any questions. I can say many good things about our stay In this wonderful villa. I wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you Cate, Cecilia, Paulo and Angela for your kindness and hospitality. We are looking forward to returning to your beautiful villa in the future!

Beyond Our Expectations!
We received the best service in the most beautiful of places with Cate and family! The Villa is gorgeous, well supplied, relaxing and offered delightful spaces for all activities. The views were breathtaking and the several reflection spots very charming. On top of it all, Cate and her parents went way above all expectations by providing exceptional care when one of us needed emergency room services. I don't know what we would have done without Cate and Paolo’s translation, transportation and attention, and Angela's gracious care. The pizza making was fun and delicious, and the home cooked dinner by Cecilia superb. Many thanks for the wonderful time. We hope to return someday!

Exceeded our high expectations!
This property is a gem. Just book it. Starting with Caterina - one of the best property hosts we have ever experienced. She is at your disposal. For anything. She made restaurant reservations for us for dates we weren't even staying at her villa! The location: easy access to Florence, easy access to central Tuscany (we visited Siena and San Gimignano), less than a mile from Impruneta (the cute local town with excellent gelato!), or just stay home and enjoy the views, which are better than the pictures. The villa: 17th century feel, with up to date amenities, a heated pool, 5 nice sized bedrooms with ensuite, plenty of indoor and outdoor spots to relax. The services: the pizza cooking class was great fun, the Tuscan style dinner by Cate's sister Cecilia was our best meal in Italy, our guide for a tour of the Duomo complex in Florence was charming. Could go on, but bottom line, this is a special place. We are so happy we had the opportunity to stay here.

Impruneta Villa
Caterina was a fabulous host on this beautiful villa! My family of 7 stayed there for 5 days and it was truly an Italian experience. She is there to help with any situations that arise and is the most wonderful lady you can imagine. Thank you to you and your family for making our vacation a great one and a memory to treasure forever.

A little slice of Tuscany heaven!
Amazing property location to enjoy a family villa outside the city of Florence. Each bedroom has their own bath en-suite bathrooms. Our owner, provided driver information, we used them and they were perfect. Even stopped off at an American War Memorial on our way to the winery recommended by owner. Caterina was very intent on a perfect stay for us. Pictures cannot explain the beauty of this country side.
