When we arrived late on a Saturday afternoon, Anna was there to greet us with a big smile and warm reception. It was a perfect start to a month in the perfect place. She showed us around and answered all of our questions and let us get settled in. I had asked if they could provide some wine for our first few days in case we didn't have time to get to a store. There was a good supply of their wine (Tenuta Larnianone) waiting for us - we especially liked the Bragia. It was just an example of how they provide great service; anything we requested was provided promptly and with a smile.
The villa is roomy (5 bedrooms with a total of 8 beds); 3 full baths, huge living and dining areas - our group was 8 people for almost 2 weeks and we were never cramped. The kitchen is quite well equipped and fully functional; we cooked dinner every night for 28 nights.
The environment around the villa is heavenly: The views are exceptional - vineyards, wheat fields, forests, rolling hills, distant villas and towns - a classic Tuscan setting. There is the constant sound of song birds, pheasants, doves, and various other birds. We occasionally saw dear and other wildlife. There is a peacefulness and beauty that makes it a perfect getaway.
Anna and Duccio were around but never intruding. We had two different family groups over our 28 day stay; and twice Duccio providing interesting and informative tours of the wine cellar (The Cantina).
They provide a weekly cleaning service that was thorough and efficient. Well worth the cost.
As we were planning to leave both Anna and Duccio warmly expressed their thanks for our staying at their villa; and welcomed us back.
We highly recommend Villa Colombaio and Tenuta Larnianone. If we ever go back to Tuscany, we will stay at Tenuta Larnianone.
