Compleanno Magico a Tenuta Schifanoia!

Ho festeggiato il mio compleanno a maggio 2024 presso la Tenuta Schifanoia a Mugello, ed è stata un’esperienza magica. La villa è un perfetto connubio di fascino rustico e comfort moderno, con camere spaziose, pulite e arredate con gusto.

I giardini sono mozzafiato, e abbiamo amato passeggiare tra i campi di grano e girasole. Un’esperienza indimenticabile è stata la caccia al tartufo organizzata dalla tenuta, che ci ha permesso di scoprire i tesori nascosti della terra toscana.

Il personale è stato straordinario, sempre attento e disponibile. Consiglio vivamente Tenuta Schifanoia per chiunque cerchi una fuga rilassante e autentica nel cuore della Toscana. Non vedo l’ora di tornarci!

Recently, my spouse and I, along with a small group of close friends, had the incredible opportunity to spend three weeks traveling from Stuttgart, Germany, to Venice, Italy. Throughout the journey, we made several amazing multi-day stops, but one in particular stood out and left an unforgettable mark on us—our stay at Tenuta Schifanoia in Tuscany.||Though I don't typically leave reviews, I simply have to rave about this extraordinary experience. The location was beyond perfect, set in the idyllic countryside of Tuscany. The peaceful surroundings and stunning landscapes made it feel like a true escape, yet it was still conveniently located near some of Italy's most iconic cities—Florence, Milan, Bologna, and Venice. I could go on forever about the sheer beauty of this region.||The accommodations at Tenuta Schifanoia were nothing short of luxurious. The rooms were spacious, beautifully decorated, and offered stunning views of the Tuscan hills. It was the perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. Our host was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was flawless, treating us like family from the moment we arrived.||One of the highlights of our stay was the private chef who prepared exquisite meals every evening. The food was a celebration of local flavors, using fresh ingredients that elevated each dish into something memorable. We even had the chance to participate in a private cooking class, which was both fun and educational. Learning to make traditional Tuscan dishes from scratch was a highlight for all of us.||On top of that, Tenuta Schifanoia arranged some fantastic activities for our group, including an unforgettable truffle-hunting excursion. The thrill of finding truffles in the woods, followed by a meal that featured our finds, was such a unique experience! We also explored the countryside on e-bikes, taking in the rolling hills and vineyards at a relaxed pace while stopping at charming local spots for coffee and wine tastings.||Honestly, I can’t say enough positive things about this place. From the stunning location to the thoughtful details of our stay, every moment was magical. If you ever find yourself in Tuscany, staying at Tenuta Schifanoia is an absolute must. This place, and the people who run it, are truly something special.||Stan

While traveling through Italy this was my favorite experience! We stayed at one of the largest, homey, welcoming villas with several uniquely decorated rooms perfect for a group of couples or family. Our villa comes with a pool, laundry facilities and a chef to prepare authentic Italian meals and provides cooking classes!
We enjoyed an exclusive experience to go truffle hunting with a local expert and an E-bike ride through the expansive countryside. Perhaps what I like the most was how quiet and serene it was. If you want a break from the busy noisy city get yourself to Tenuta Schifanoia!

The villa itself is a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The rooms were spacious, impeccably clean, and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after days filled with exploration and relaxation.

The grounds of Tenuta Schifanoia are simply stunning. Surrounded by the serene beauty of the Tuscan countryside, we enjoyed leisurely walks through the vineyards and olive groves, taking in the breathtaking views. The pool area was a highlight, offering a tranquil setting to unwind and soak up the sun.

One of the standout features of our stay was the exceptional cuisine. Each meal was a culinary delight, showcasing the freshest local ingredients and traditional Tuscan flavors. The wine from their own vineyard was exquisite and paired perfectly with the meals.

The location of Tenuta Schifanoia is ideal for exploring the Mugello region. We were able to visit charming nearby towns, historic sites, and even take a day trip to Florence, all within a short drive.

Above all, the staff at Tenuta Schifanoia made our stay truly special. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and dedication to ensuring we had a wonderful experience was evident in everything they did.

Glowing Review for Villa Colonica Tuoro

Our family’s ten-day stay at Villa Colonica Tuoro, coming from San Francisco and New York, was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we knew we had found a place that exceeded all our expectations. This charming villa was a perfect match for us, with its delightful kitchen, inviting dining and living areas, and cozy bedrooms—all authentically reflecting the enchanting Tuscan surroundings. It truly felt more like visiting dear friends, Cosimo and Monica, in their beautiful home than just a vacation.

The outdoor patio quickly became our central hub, where we enjoyed morning coffee beneath the canopy, overlooking an expansive acre of lush grass and rolling hills. Breakfasts were unforgettable, gathered around the lovely table for ten, and evenings were filled with laughter and stories on the comfortable canopied couches as we sipped cocktails and indulged in one extraordinary meal after another.

Also unforgettable were Sara, Rita and Marta. They not only cared for every one of us, they became part of our family. Sadly, they declined our offer to come back with us to California. ?

Our days were a blend of adventure and relaxation—exploring Florence and Lucca, truffle hunting, and hiking through the picturesque fields. A highlight was discovering the magnificent Bosco ai Frati Convent, a hidden gem of history and beauty just a 20-minute stroll from the villa. Monica went above and beyond when she learned that two of us were passionate about fly fishing, arranging a special day on the Sieve River with an experienced guide.

Every moment at Villa Colonica Tuoro was a cherished memory in the making. We left with our hearts full and a deep appreciation for the beauty and warmth of this incredible place. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an unforgettable experience in Tuscany!

Visiting Tenuta Schifanoia over spring break was the highlight of our family’s trip to Italy! We visited the beautifully renovated farmhouse and went on a truffle hunt with an experienced guide. Our kids had a blast following the dogs as they looked for truffles! After, we participated in an amazing cooking class where we made truffle pasta and much more. Then, we were able to sit down as a family in this beautiful home and enjoy a meal together. The owner, Cosimo, was great to work with and made us feel right at home. We plan to go back and stay at the farmhouse as it was “picture-perfect”Tuscany experience! HIGHLY recommend!!!
