"Our stay here at Machiavelli has been absolutely magical! From the beautiful villa to the warm and lovably staff, everything has been wonderful. Our three children felt comfortable and welcomed and loved playing on the grounds among the beautiful landscape and sculptures. The wonderful staff went out of their way to make certain that all members of our family felt comfortable and pampered! Tuscany is absolutely breathtaking and Villa Machiavelli has been a special place in which we were able to fully immerse ourselves in our surroundings. We can’t thank you all enough for making our time here memorable and unforgettable! "

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know we are home from Italy and we had a magical time at the Villa . It was every bit as beautiful as we had hoped and accommodated our family perfectly. The staff were outstanding and made us feel special whilst feeling at home all at the same time. The drivers we had were excellent and helped us not only get around, but suggested sites to tour and were readily available. The pre-arranged tours all went well and we enjoyed each tour guide - they certainly brought the history and stories of each location to life.
In short, we are thrilled with our two weeks. We have tons of cherished memories and Loretta got just what she wanted for her family birthday gathering. I want to personally thank you for all the help you provided in making this all happen. You addressed every concern and made it so special for us. As a family, we are grateful. All the best.
