Our stay at Villa Santa Virginia was just perfect. We appreciated very much the great hospitality and kindness of the family Morfini as well as their staff. The house, garden en swimming pool are very well maintained. The views on the Toscanian hills and the historic city of Siena are stunning. We also recommend everyone to taste the excellent wine and Vin Santo made on the Tenuta Larnianone vinyards. Thanks again Tullio & Duccio!!

This villa was perfect for three families! It had everything we needed and the pool was refreshing and lovely. The hosts were amazing and very helpful! Thank you!
I canât say enough about the beauty of the property and the family who run it. Lavinia and Lorenzo could not have been more welcoming and friendly. The wine and olive oil are not to be missed! We were in Italy on a sibling trip and we were taken back by the property and the views, WOW!! Thank you again for making our time so special!!
The highlight of this property is the amazing views of the Tuscan countryside. If we could have stayed another week lounging by the pool we definitely would!
The villa is lovely and appears exactly as the pictures show. It is furnished with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. There is even a cupboard of toys and games. For us, what really sets this place apart from others is the spectacular panoramic view you can see from the villa's front yard.
Thank you to Lavinia and Lorenzo for all their helpful information!
EVERYTHING about our experience was fantastic - from booking the Villa to our check out. Lavinia is AMAZING!! Gracious, knowledgeable, accessible, charming, hospitable⊠shall I go on?? Villa Santa Virginia was PERFECT for our 4 couples. In fact it could have accommodated 6 couples if we rented the detached room on the grounds. The Villa is STUNNING. Great location to Siena (10 minute easy drive). Each room comfortable and plenty of room. The Villa is well stocked with all the essentials in the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry room. AMPLE room for our crew to cook dinner together, dine together and spread out and have alone time. AND there is a GORGEOUS pool! We will definitely be back! Grazie Mille dear Lavinia. You are the BEST! Xoxo Teresa, Perry & Crew
We had a wonderful week at the villa. The place is gorgeous and spacious with beautiful views. Lavinia hosted us with a lot of charm, care and knowledge. Aldo took good care of the reservation and rescheduling during Covid. Lorenzo and Lavinia gave us a great tour of the vineyards and wine and olive oil making. Highly recommended place for a family vacation. We had a great time.
Santa Virginia ist einfach ein Paradies!!! Es ist noch schoener als es auf den Photos erscheint. Das Haus ist sehr geraeumig, angenehm kuehl an heissen Tagen und phantastisch ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Der Blick ist einfach umwerfend und nicht zu uebertreffen: die sanfte toskanische Landschaft wie sie im Bilderbuch steht. Wir waren 6 Erwachsene und 5 Kleinkinder, die alle ihren Aufenthalt 100% genossen haben. Der Pool ist sehr gut gesichert, so dass fuer kleine Kinder keine Gefahr besteht ,und der riesige Garten bietet Platz fuer jede Art von Beschaeftigung. Die charmante Anna hat uns viele nuetzliche Tips gegeben und Lorenzos Weinverkostung war ein echtes Vergnuegen. Wir kommen ganz bestimmt zurueck!!!!
the propriety is even nicer than the photos portray . the facilities are impeccable and the whole property is simply fantastic and we had a once in a life time stay.
all issues were immediately addressed by owners who are always available and extremely friendly
siena is only a few minutes away.
would most defiantly recommend for large family gatherings
Waren 14 Personen 4 Tage, leider viel zu kurz, in diesem wunderschönen Weingut. Die Villa ist sehr geschmackvoll, groĂzĂŒgig und gemĂŒtlich eingerichtet. Tullio ist ein Ă€uĂerst sympathischer, witziger und interessanter Gastgeber, hat uns auch eine sehr lustige FĂŒhrung von seinem Weingut gemacht. Alle unsere Erwartungen wurden weit ĂŒbertroffen, kommen bei nĂ€chster Gelegenheit sehr gerne wieder, dann hoffentlich fĂŒr einen lĂ€ngeren Zeitraum. Grazie mille Tullio!!!
It didn't seem possible that the property and location could be any more beautiful than the pictures of the villa on the hill, the pool overlooking the rolling hills of Tuscany...but it was. We had a magical stay. Aldo was a perfect host, always there with help. The wines were fantastic and made in the adjacent building! We had a chef come 2 nights and ate dinner outside (breakfasts were there too!). 12 minutes to the beautiful ancient city of Siena.
Tenuta Larnianone was simply perfect in every way. It was very hot when we were there (97F), but the house maintained temperature very well. There are 2 things to be aware of, neither of which effected us significantly. First, there is no air conditioning (though the website says there is). There are fans for every room and with the old stone the villa is built with things were quite cool at night and offered relief during the days too...naturally. Also, the road to the get to the villa is @2.7km long and is not paved. Your car will be filthy.
All that said, we loved it only wishing we had more than 1 week to enjoy it all.
This beautiful property, within easy driving distance of Siena and other lovely Tuscan towns, has so much to offer! The villa is lovely and has great conveniences such as a washer/dryer, as well as a great pool with one of the best views you will ever see. Wonderful landlords - everything top notch. Highly recommended!!
Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Santa Virginia! The house, grounds, and location look beautiful online but are even more spectacular in person. The house is close and has easy access to Siena, but you also feel like youâre worlds away when youâre at home, tucked in the heart of the countryside. The booking and check in process was easy...Duccio was there to welcome us when we arrived, offered reliable itinerary suggestions, and was always available to answer questions. Anna coordinated a cooking class with a local chef to celebrate my husbandâs birthday, and she gave us the recipes so we can recreate the meal at home. Truly everything was perfect, the only question now is when can we go back?! Thank you to Duccio and Anna for a wonderful stay!
Trotz ein wenig Pech mit dem Wetter haben wir (eine Gruppe von Freunden mit zehn Erwachsenen und zwei kleinen Kindern) unsere Tage in dieser Villa voll und ganz genossen. Die Villa ist hervorragend ausgestattet, hat einen riesigen umgebenden Garten und die schönste Aussicht auf die HĂŒgel von Siena, die wir je bewundern durften. Auch der Besitzer Duccio war Ă€uĂerst nett und jederzeit fĂŒr uns erreichbar, wenn wir irgendwelche WĂŒnsche oder Fragen hatten. Insgesamt wĂŒrden wir sehr gerne noch einmal hierher fahren und sind bereits dabei, die nĂ€chste Reise in diese Villa zu planen.
I booked this villa for a group of 8 (4 couples). The layout of the villa was perfect, giving plenty of room and the villa was clean, Duccio and Paola were very helpful and responsive to questions. The views from the villa were stunning and morning runs along the estate roads were ideal for the athletic members of the group. The villa is ideally situated to get to Siena, San Gimignano and visit the main wine regions: Chianti, Montepulciano and Brunello Di Montalcino. We enjoyed beautiful weather and being able to eat and relax outside the villa watching the sunset. I arranged for a cooking lesson at the villa which Duccio organised, this was well received and a fun evening, I would definitely recommend this. Overall this is an amazing villa, well kept, in a stunning location with a host that is available and happy to help with any request. Our group had a very memorable stay here.
We loved everything about this beautiful villa! There were 7 of us. And there was definitely room for more of us. It was very spacious. Every room has it's own bathroom. The grounds are gorgeous. The views are stunning! It is the postcard version of your image of the Tuscan rolling hills with vineyards. It's ideal! Duccio was caring and attentive but not intrusive. He attended to all of our inquiries and requests in a very timely manner. We happened to be there when they were harvesting their 2018 Sangiovese. We were then given a taste of the fresh juice and also a tour of the winery. Spectacular! Another perk of this villa is that they stock the kitchen with their olive oil and several of their various wines. We purchased a handful of the varieties and enjoyed each and every one of them. They are delicious and very reasonably priced. We also coordinated through Duccio to have a in home chef prepare us a meal one evening. This is a definite must do! It was outstanding! I can't say enough great things about this villa and property. Top notch all around. Highly recommend!!!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Villa. The villa hosts were great, all very professional and organised . Duccio dropped by he is very friendly and he told us the history of the villa and the region which has some of the the most stunning countryside in Tuscany. The photos cannot do the view justice, it was a very special location. We took the owners advice on some restaurants and were very pleased.

Dream Family Holiday
We had the most wonderful two weeks in Santa Virginia as a celebration of my 50th and my mums 80th birthday with friends and family of all ages staying with us. The villa is glorious: spacious, beautifully and sensitively restored and furnished and utterly peaceful with the most incredible "filmic" view looking out across the Sienese landscape. The kitchen is very well equipped, and the table football, table tennis and wi-fi by the pool were a big hit with the teenagers. The additional cottage in the garden provided us with the flexibility we needed to be able to invite more family at the last minute. Duccio was the kindest of hosts, responding promptly and efficiently to any questions we had, always going above and beyond the call of duty to help us at various moments of need and providing us with local insight and knowledge (particularly about the Palio- which was fantastic). We thoroughly enjoyed his personal tour of the family winery and the wine itself is completely delicious. It was a completely memorable two weeks and we really hope to be able to return to Santa Virginia again in the very near future!
We stayed two large families with kids in Villa Santa Virginia.
It was a perfect place for a family vacation in the heart of beautiful Tuscany.
The house is spacious and extremely well kept. Lots of bed rooms each with its own bathroom, and all newly renovated.
Temperatures outside were around 32 degrees but indoor was nice and tempered from the old stone walls.
The house is as idyllic as it looks on the photos - you feel like you live on old well kept vineyard. And we were given a tour of the wine production.
The pool is large and deep enough in one end for the kids to do their jumping.
The views are stunning and you can even see the towers of Sienna from there.
The families owning the place were welcoming and extremely friendly and helpful.
We will certainly be coming back.

Awesome week at Villa Santa Virginia
If you can imagine the perfect vacation, it was six women and my little grand-daughter the first week of July enjoying the time of our lives at the villa.
Our sincere compliments go out to Duccio and his family for giving us the opportunity to experience this gem. The grounds.on the estate are lovely; the views, breathtaking. The villa is beautiful and comfortable, the pool is perfect with many comfortable lounges and a large umbrella. The wine from the estate and olive oil are delicious. The days are warm, the nights are cool. Thank you to Monica, who prepared two fabulous meals for us. Thank you to Duccio for being such a gracious host and also for securing us great seats to the Palio (which is an event not to be missed). Thank you to his sister for surprising us with delicious tiramisu for the birthday dinner.
Our Siena turned 8 at the villa. An unforgettable celebration. She, as well as the rest of us, will remember always this truly wonderful week. Duccio, we send you a big thank you and very much hope to stay at Santa Virginia again. It was, quite frankly, the chance of a lifetime. Our sincere best wishes to you and your family, Diane, Stacy, Siena, Jeanne, Julie, Suzanne and Lindsay.
The most incredible experience ever- exceeded our expectations!
Wow, I don't even know where to start. Staying at this villa was an experience myself, my friends & family will never forget! We are already talking about coming back in a couple years. To start, the Villa was absolutely breathtaking! The view felt like a painted backdrop, it was gorgeous it didn't feel real. Views of the grain fields, the vineyards, mountains & even the town of Siena was visible. The pool was perfect for those hot days and we enjoyed all the seating / umbrella options for those with fairer skin. The inside of the villa was incredibly charming and there was so much natural light, not to mention loads of character! Each room came with a bathroom, which was very helpful since we had quite a few guests. Several dining options available, each with their own unique quality. Best of all, was Duccio's hospitality! He was so gracious in checking on us to make sure we had all of our needs met at all times. He was so genuine and truly cared that we had a great experience. They also provide their own wine & olive oil for sale (at a reasonable price) and it was so delicious! We all bought bottles of olive oil to take back to the U,S, with us. 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone! P.S. Some others have noted on here that there is no AC unit, which I was a little unsure of before we arrived, however even on the very hot days it was never too hot! The house had a nice breeze flowing through it and stayed surprisingly very cool. Even during peak heat hours everyone was able to nap in their rooms if they chose to.
Zero complaints! Can't wait to come back! :)
We were two families who stayed at the property in early/mid June. The property was absolutely amazing and what a view! It is a great location for travels to other key cities. We took several side trips (Florence, Pisa, Luca) and Siena is only a 15-20 minute drive. You will definitely want a vehicle to get around. Duccio was very helpful and always there if we needed anything. We highly recommend the property.
