Villas in Chianti Area

Hi Margherita, Back at work today to a grey damp city! Just a quick note to say we had a wonderful holiday at Le Pratola, thank you. The villa was gorgeous, Katy was excellent and we had a great time at Silvano's vineyard! Elena is lovely and her Tiramisu was the best we have ever had! All in all a great holiday.

Hi Margherita, first, It was great meeting you and Iain and I wanted to thank you for the week at Le Pratola. The Villa and your property are exceptional and the location gave us access to more attractions than we could possibly visit in a single week or even several months. The net result is our group thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

Hi, Margherita, thank you so much for the most fabulous two weeks, we had a fantastic time. One of the best holidays we've had in a long time. All the best to you hope to visit again. Thanks again.

Dear Margherita, Just a quick note to thank you for all your help with ensuring we had a lovely holiday. Everyone had a most enjoyable break and we all left thinking we would love to return.

Breathtaking vacation. Le Pratola has everything you might imagine and more. The views of the sun setting over the Tuscan mountains by the infinity pool are breathtaking. The villa is beautifully decorated with all the amenities of home. There is something for everyone. The owner is available with any and all questions which is very comforting - she clearly wants you to enjoy your vacation. In fact it is difficult to leave Le Pratola to venture the Tuscan area because it is so peaceful. We used the Pizza oven for a pizza cook-off after our teenage boys had in house cooking lessons with Barbara - it was a perfect day. The villa was rather large for 5 of us....we won't hesitate to go back and bring some friends.

While searching for the perfect place to hold my husband’s surprise 40th birthday celebration, I was immediately drawn to Le Pratola after seeing countless villas all over Tuscany on a variety of websites. I’m not sure whether it was the beautiful, old Tuscan farmhouse exterior coupled with the modern interior and furnishings (including a gym!), dedicated concierge services, or the gorgeous pictures on the website depicting special occasions and lush Tuscan landscapes, but whatever it was, I could certainly picture us there. Having never been to the region before, I was initially a bit apprehensive about how to coordinate the week, which included multiple guest arrivals, activities, day trips, and meals. Also, being a bit of a hands-on type of person, I wasn’t sure how I could plan this from afar. Little did I know that Margo and her local team would take care of every detail and to the standards that I would have expected if I had had the knowledge and ability to do it myself, maybe even better! From the minute we met our guide Stefania in Rome, I knew we were in for a very special trip and it only got better as the journey progressed. By the time our friends arrived at Le Pratola to surprise my husband, we were totally enchanted by the beautiful property and the impeccably furnished villa (and completely relaxed by the wonderful massages performed by Silvia and Luca!) As each day passed, we fell more in love with Tuscany and this was in no small part due to the beauty of Le Pratola and the wonderful activities and vendors that Margo recommended to us. Each felt hand-picked and very special and truly brought Tuscany alive! Of particular note was Silvano at Casanova Winery, who brought a tear to many of our eyes as he described good wine, good friends, and the passion with which he lived his life. Our “adopted Italian grandmother”, Elena, was also a real pleasure. Seeing her cheerful and spirited face in the morning (and at the dinner she cooked for us one evening) really made us feel at home. My husband’s birthday dinner was a truly memorable event with Monica’s refined cooking and presentation style setting the tone for a very special evening. Our cookery course was an inspiration to many of us, with Barbara showing us the ease with which we, on our own, could make Italian staples like bread and pasta that far outshone anything store bought. I, for one, know that I will be trying some of the recipes at home. It even inspired us to make pizzas the next day (although we didn’t get to try the pizza oven… next time!) There were other activities such as trekking and tai chi that we didn’t get an opportunity to experience, but which we will certainly put on the list for next time. Apart from the 'planned activities,' I can't stress what a great time we all had just lounging around the gorgeous infinity pool or having an impromptu pool tournament. It was truly magical. Our trip was, however, much more than just a set of activities or a nice place to stay in Tuscany. In fact, I was really trying to create a very memorable experience for my husband and for our friends and Margo truly understood this. To that end, Margo helped me to secure restaurant reservations (fabulous recommendations!), provided guidance around driving distances and directions, and made suggestions to ensure that we had a marvelous time – and that we certainly did. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and she clearly takes a great deal of pride in ensuring that guests of Le Pratola enjoy her lovely home as much as she and her family do. Although this was for a special occasion, we also fell in love with the region and Le Pratola and very much look forward to returning one day in the not too distant future. We are all still smiling about our time at Le Pratola and expect to be doing so for quite some time.

Margherita, we had an enchanting visit. Everything has been nothing short of glorious. We all wept when we realized we were nearing its end. We only regret the shortness of our stay. We will be in touch soon.
