Villa Ferraia Tuscany, which offers a taste of the old Tuscany. It is located in the valleys of the Merse River, in the south of the province of Siena, not far from Montalcino and Pienza. You're not going to come across the place by chance, it lies well off the beaten track. There life follows the rhythms of nature, in keeping with the ancient Roman concept of otium, of the leisure and time that are needed to restore body and mind. Here you can find hills, forests, lakes, wild animals, vegetable gardens, orchards, and a private astronomical observatory.

Ideal for friends on vacation or destination weddings, for gatherings of stargazers, yoga courses, or incentive groups, for managers who need to recharge their batteries, for team building programs, small-scale meetings or original events. Villa Ferraia Tuscany has re-created the concept of otium as an experience to nourish the spirit. The common spaces encourage meetings, conviviality, and contact between the guests; the sauna and the swimming pool help you to relax and detoxify; nature and the stars to get back in touch with the world.

A residence in an unspoiled setting, offering state-of-the-art amenities and technologies. It is located to the south of the historic city of Siena, on the top of a hill with a 360-degree view of the gently rolling Tuscan landscape. It is not just an exclusive private villa, but a place in which to experience the ancient local traditions, learn the secrets of vegetable gardening, relish the intense fragrances of the numerous old varieties of roses growing in the garden, let yourself be pampered by the Roman baths and the sauna built of natural wood, spend the nights looking at the stars and yet remain connected to the rest of the world by a wireless internet service. 

For guests at the ancient residence, stylish interiors in natural materials: terracotta tiles, wooden beams, wrought iron, and great care taken over the combinations of colors. Fourteen of the villa's rooms are large (15-20 sq m), with spacious bathrooms en suite, filled with light and furnished with period pieces. Every detail is a homage to nature lovers: the windows open onto the park, the swimming pools, and the woods, stretching as far as the eye can see. Villa Ferraia is a small hamlet of three adjoining buildings, in which the bedrooms are located, many of them opening off cozy lounges: here guests can sit on comfortable sofas by the fireplace to read, listen to music or sip good Tuscan wine. Refined in their simplicity, all the spaces combine tradition and luxury: flat-screen TV with satellite links, fast internet connection, linen of local manufacture, toiletries made from olive oil, private bathroom with shower and/or tub, hairdryer, underfloor heating supplied with hot water from a biomass-fueled boiler and solar photovoltaic and thermal panels, as well as a "cellar-effect" cooling system, again located under the floor (on request).

A wellness center with a variety of facilities all located within a short distance of one another: indoor hot baths, two swimming pools with cascades, a Turkish bath, a yoga room, and a fully equipped gymnasium. This in itself would be enough to make a visit worthwhile, but Villa Ferraia is much more.

Far away from the light pollution of the city, the astronomical observatory of Villa Ferraia, set on a hill rising out of the wood to a height of 350 m above sea level, offers its visitors unforgettable experiences. From this privileged position, it is possible to probe the sky with the superb technology of a professional observatory: a Meade LX 200 R14’’ f/10 telescope with GPS; CCD camera for deep-sky shots of the planets and moon with a direct link to a maxi-screen; fiber-optic network connected with the conference hall; meeting room with a capacity of twenty-five and fast internet connection. A unique feature of this place, the observatory has been selected by the U.A.I. (Italian Union of Amateur Astronomers) as a facility qualified to house meetings and conventions of astronomers.

A beautiful place with lovely rooms and in great surroundings on top of a hill. In early March, the place was a bit quiet (only me and my friends), but the staff had all the more attention for us. Outside of the wind, which was strong at times, the weather was also great and the temperature just right for trail riding. We had excellent meals and really fun long rides all over the hills, did lots of interesting sightseeing in the area guided by the manager Vittorio (who is quite a personality) and even had a lesson in astronomy on a wonderfully clear night. Warmly recommended!

My review will sound much like the others. The Villa is absolutely divine, lots of special indoor and outdoor spaces, stunning views, awesome pool(s), star gazing, yoga, and the most delicious food cooked right from their amazing farm and garden. As many other folks have shared.....the owners made it incredible and accommoded all of our food allergies. They worked SO hard to serve us delicious breakfasts and dinners. I used to sneak into the kitchen just to watch them prepare. But here is the crazy thing. This was an extended family trip with 21 adults and 10 kids under 8. This Villa set up was perfect because the kids could roam and the parents could enjoy themselves. We ate every dinner under the stars and it was awesome because some kids went to bed, others played, watched a movie or danced outside. We could all be together or we could have our privacy. Day trips to Sienna, Florence or small tuscan towns was a breeze. I hope we can come back soon...and I hope Patrizia and Anna can come to California so we can spoil them!

I shy away from hyperbole, but there is no way to minimize our experience at Villa Ferraia in June of 2018. We descended on poor Vittorio, Patricia and Anna with a group of 29 people. Nothing was a problem for them. The food, the hospitality and the setting the Villa were spectacular. We had parties inside and outside and it continued for a week. From the opening Cocktail party to the chef for a participatory cooking lesson/feast, recommendations on local places to visit, excellent breakfasts daily, gorgeous facilities, nightly fires by the fire pit, clean and modern amenities – – right up to the farewell dinner prepared by Patricia and Anna – – it simply could not have been better. We had good weather for day trips but the atmosphere at the Villa provided the base for the group members to relax, coalesce and enjoy. I think we expected to have a good time but the end result exceeded any possible expectations going in.

The villa was absolutely amazing! The staff there was so friendly, helpful and great with our kids! We were very well-fed every day by the amazing chefs and we loved the gigantic pool! Swimming while surrounded by a field of lavender was truly relaxing. The staff took such good care of us. Ana especially was very attentive and always available to help. They were such special people! We would recommend the villa and the staff to anyone looking to travel to Italy--it was an unforgettable experience!

My wife and i have traveled on equestrian getaways around the world. The week we spent at Villa Ferraia is one of the more memorable and enjoyable we have ever had. Vittorio, Patrizia and Anna were incredible hosts. Vittorio is larger than life, very engaging and funny. Patrizia's cooking was exceptional and Anna, so kind and helpful, led us on some wonderful rides. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Villa is outstanding. Very relaxing and beautiful, and the horses were exceptional. The Villa is approx 25 minutes from Siena, truly in the countryside. You have to drive approx 3 km on dirt roads to get there which adds to the remote nature, charm and security of the location. Once there, it is an oasis beyond imagination with spectacular views and privacy. Suffice to say, we loved it! Undoubtedly, you will to. You are in for a special treat!

Our recent stay at Villa Ferraia for a 5 day equestrian based holiday exceeded all expectations on all fronts! As a regular user of Trip Adviser for making holiday and business destination decisions, I would not lightly use 'excellent' and 'five star', but our recent experience at Villa Ferraia deserves no less!!! If you are considering a high quality, equestrian based holiday in Tuscany, you will not be disappointed! Accommodation, meals, horses and tack, trails, guides, hosts and extra activities and visits all excellent and 5 star! Thank you Vittorio, Pattrizia and Anna for a wonderful and most memorable experience! David and Jodi (Australia)

I stayed at the Villa in October. What a breathtaking experience. The beauty of the countryside is some of the most beautiful in Tuscany. From hiking, star gazing in the observatory, swimming, horse riding, wine tasting, and sight seeing, this Villa has it all. The beds are comfortable, the bath rooms are beautiful, and the view out every window is incredible. The food is outstanding. Is it possible to give a review 6 stars?
