excellant We spent 5 nights in an elegant first floor room, sharing a generous and comfortable guest lounge, kitchen, breakfast and courtyard dining areas downstairs with a small number of other guests staying in the same palazzo. So we had the opportunity to enjoy complete privacy in our suite as well as convivial company in the shared spaces. Set high in the tranquil Chianti countryside with gorgeous rural views, this property is perfectly positioned for access to Florence and the autostrade north or south. Staff were delightful, extremely kind, nothing was too much trouble and we were made to feel completely at home.

We had such a peaceful and memorable stay at Villa Medicea di Lilliano. The tranquility of the location, surrounded by lush vineyards and olive groves, made for an incredibly relaxing experience. The proximity to Florence was ideal, allowing us to easily explore the city while returning to the serenity of the villa each evening. A special mention goes to Katia, who made our stay even more delightful. She is incredibly warm and welcoming, and she brought the same sense of hospitality to the breakfast table each morning. Her thoughtful touch made every meal feel special. We also had the pleasure of participating in the wine and olive oil tasting. The experience was not only delicious but also informative, allowing us to learn about the local products in a beautiful setting. I would highly recommend Villa Medicea di Lilliano for anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with easy access to Florence and the surrounding countryside. It was the perfect blend of relaxation, hospitality, and beauty.

If you're planning to enjoy local restaurants outside of Florence, I highly recommend renting a car. It was difficult to fully experience the area without one, as taxis weren't readily available for trips to local spots, and the villa’s on-property dining options were limited during our stay, especially on Easter. I was hopeful for a local recommendation, but despite asking for assistance in securing a reservation, there wasn't much follow-through. Unfortunately, this led us to drive into Florence late at night in search of a meal, as we couldn't find a place to eat or a taxi to take us. It would have been helpful if the villa had informed us of these challenges in advance, so we could have planned accordingly.

Beautiful wine estate in the Tuscan countryside with amazing views, comfortable facilities and amenities and a quick drive to Florence. All of the staff were kind and wonderful while Ariana in reception was especially welcoming and helpful and made our trip extra special.

Nothing, perfect stay

We really loved our stay here. We came for 2 nights during our honeymoon and we're so glad we made the trip out of Florence for it. All the staff were wonderful, great at communication prior to the stay and very friendly, helpful and professional during our time there. Our room was also lovely, really spacious, comfy bed and a massive bathroom with 2 showers, bath, double sinks. They left us a bottle of wine and a lovely note which was such a sweet gesture! Beautiful views out the windows to the rolling tuscan hills. We had a room with communal kitchen which they also serve breakfast from. We cooked on 1 of the nights and although the equipment was basic, we managed to make tasty meal. The breakfasts were good, we are both vegan and they got special vegan things in for us which we really appreciated. The grounds are gorgeous, we loved sitting out on the lawn or at the table to have lunch or evening drinks, just so peaceful and serene. The pool was a nice addition, it wasn't super hot during our stay and the pool was cold, so we only used it once and there were quite a few mosquitos! In the warmer months I'm sure it's lovely and refreshing! We took a lovely long walk around the area, they provided us with a map and it was such a highlight. We passed so amazing views, all the vineyards and olive groves. We didn't have a car so we just explored the local area. We stopped in a local town called Grassina during our walk for a drink, and we walked back into the town later on for a really really delicious dinner! A car might be useful if you're staying longer than a couple of nights, but we found it easy enough to get from Florence in a taxi and walk whilst we were there. We also did oe of the vineyard tours and wine tasting up on the estate and if was such a memorable experience so would recommend booking something whilst you're there!

Mosquitoes/bugs by the pool. Maybe some additional more lounge seating in the communal garden area would be nice for when you want to enjoy being outside and taking in all the lovely views. The chairs and tables that were there were great for meals but not super comfy for relaxing for longer periods of time - the sun loungers by the pool were good but as I mentioned there were mosquitos so we didn't feel like spending too much time there.

The grounds were amazing! The villas are a little ways away from the reception, but we didn’t have a car, and it was not a problem…. The crew took care of us. Our every request was just a text away. They taxi’d us from the reception to our room, handled all of our food requests, and hand delivered bottles of wine to our room when we asked. The service was truly unparalleled. Our villa was beautiful, breakfast each morning was included in the cost of the stay and was delicious, and the pool was as serene as any I’ve experienced back in the states. I 10/10 recommend! We booked a wine tour through the Melichinni estates, and the experience was phenomenal. Giovanni was our guide, and he exceeded all expectations!

Great facilities, clean and wonderful staff.

Would be nice to have access to the terrace and gardens during the stay. Also you should inform guests that there is no restaurant at the Villa.

The property was stunning and our villa looked exactly like pictured. Immaculate, very comfortable beds and well stocked. The staff is kind, very helpful, and friendly. Customer service is the best we’ve ever experienced!!!

We had a few issues, but the staff rectified them all promptly. I’m definitely giving the property a five star review because of the beauty of the property and the extremely accommodating staff who addressed every single problem we had. The staff and the grounds are excellent.

Amazing Tuscany view from the room and common areas. Very friendly and helpful staff. We really appreciate Denise for her recommendations, she is a lovely person. Beautiful and very spacious room. Breakfast was also amazing with carefully selected meat, cheese,a big variety of croissants, etc . I do not understand why people complain that gardens where the family stays are closed, especially if you can still see those with a booked tour. Although the pictures are accurate the place is even more beautiful when you see it in person.

There is no restaurant but we knew that in advance so we planned our dinner accordingly.

It was a beautiful place and so well kept! The villa Torre and the main villa whit the gardens and winery was amazing, you can’t miss a wine tour when you are staying here. The staff made it even more perfect, the service and the help. Especially by Paula! They were friendly, helpful and full of knowledge about the place and surroundings. I wish I had an extended stay and I will definitely come back.

Nothing bad to say! But I recommend having a car or transportation to make the trips to the countryside even more enjoyable

This is a great place to get away and see a winery and olive oil operation in action. The property is a short drive from Florence, and easy to get to by car. But I would recommend having a car. You need one to get to the one o f the adjoining towns the Villa is in if you want to get dinner. The room was huge and spacious, and had an amazing bathroom. The breakfast was very nice and the pool was relaxing and wonderful to stay at. The staff is over the top helpful and so great to work with. They went above and beyond to assist us on some of our needs.

The only thing I would add here, is that there is not a restaurant on site for dinners or lunches. Breakfast was uncluded and it was a nice spread, but unless you book a wine lunch/dinner at the villa, you are on your own for food. There is a kitchen you can use and are the restaurants in the two adjoining towns, but over 2km away. We did book the wine dinner and tour and thought it was very well done, but a little pricey at 130 Euro per person.
