August stay
By Manuela on 23-Aug-2025Jane and Mike are two very kind and caring hosts. The house is in a beautiful hill that guarantees relaxation. The view from the rooms is also beautiful. We were two families of friends and the size of the house allowed us to have privacy and freedom. We stayed with the girls who had a lot of fun.
Fairytale house

Beautiful home
By Carly Preston on 06-Sep-2025Carly-Rae Preston Local Guide • 20 reviews • 6 photos starstarstarstarstar 7 weeks ago Villa Emilia is absolutely stunning – a huge Italian farmhouse that’s been redone so beautifully. It’s stylish and modern but still feels really cosy and full of character. The house is super comfortable and has everything you need, with gorgeous gardens, a small home gym and a pool that’s perfect for lazy afternoons. It’s only a 10-minute walk into the village, where you’ll find bars, restaurants, cafés, a pharmacy, and a supermarket. With a car, you can explore loads of nearby medieval hilltop villages, which are just magical. The hosts are so lovely and welcoming – they’ve really created a special place that feels like home. Couldn’t recommend it more highly!
Wow! What a great place
By Leanne Brooke’s on 20-Jul-2024Leanne Brookes 33 weeks ago I don’t even know where to start with this review but my family and I have just had the best two weeks at Villa Emilia (we went to Florence for a couple of days in the middle). However, our incredible hosts, Jayne and Mick are the absolute best, made us so welcome and truly looked after us and we are so sad to go home. Villa Emilia a beautiful place inside and out and it was so wonderful sitting outside on and evening with a glass of wine. My daughter and I used the pool most days and it was wonderful. When we went out and about, every single person we met or spoke to was just wonderful. If you want a beautiful home to stay, where you can truly relax and unwind, then look no further as this is 100% the place for you and your family. It is truly perfect.
