We stayed at Villa Il Salicone as a group of 9 adults and 4 children, and it was absolutely perfect for our family gathering.The villa itself is a beautiful historic building dating back to 1817, sympathetically restored to a very high standard while still maintaining all of its original charm and character. The interiors strike a lovely balance between classic Tuscan features and modern comfort.The bedrooms were extremely spacious, and with all but one having their own ensuite bathroom, it worked brilliantly for a large group. The kitchen was impressively well-equipped and made cooking for 13 people surprisingly easy, with plenty of space for several of us to be preparing food at once.The owners were incredibly friendly and communication was excellent both before and during our stay. They also produce their own olive oil and wine, which were absolutely delicious — we loved that these were available to purchase. One of the highlights of our trip was arranging a traditional Tuscan meal, cooked right in the villa by the hosts. It was not only authentic and beautifully prepared but also one of the best meals we had in Tuscany — highly recommended!Outside, the villa’s setting is just as impressive as the inside. It’s peaceful, surrounded by the Tuscan countryside, yet still conveniently located for exploring nearby towns and vineyards.Overall, Villa Il Salicone exceeded our expectations — it’s a rare find that combines history, comfort, warm hospitality, and practicalit
