Villa
Villa Colombai is a great location for a family or group of friends who want to visit the main attractions of Tuscany, thanks to its strategical position only 5 km away from the highway connecting Florence, Pisa, Lucca and other important cities. It is the perfect location for who wants to relax spending time around a luxury pool with whirlpool, a huge garden, a beautiful veranda next to the barbecue and the kitchen. Enjoy the wine and the olive oil produced not far from the villa or the typical food of our area, Orentano town is famous in particular for the pizza (pizza festival June-July), for the pastry (pastry festival in August) and for the typical Tuscan bread cooked following the ancient tradition in a wood oven.

Five stars in Tuscany
We visited this beautiful villa 8Jul-15Jul 2023. Five(5) adults & five(5) children enjoyed this spacious and well equipped home. The location is perfect for a family vacation with day trips to Florence, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano and more. Each day we would return and swim in the pool, play ping pong, foosball, and soccer. Stefano was a gracious host and arranged for a fun filled evening with Chef Guido to learn pizza making. We laughed and sang for hours. While Chef Fabrizio prepared two(2) memorable evening meals of Tuscan specialties. Our family has vacationed together in many locations, but Stefano has made Villa Colombai number #1.

Dream Vacation
If I could give Stefano and Villa Colombai even more stars, I would do so. Our family - three generations, with kids as young as 5 - stayed at the Villa for 2 weeks and used it as our home away from home as we traveled throughout Tuscany. Stefano, who runs the villa, also provides concierge services such as car services, access to a personal chef - his brother, Fabrizio, who is equally amazing - and curated trips to towns (San Gimignano, Lucca, San Vincenzo, Cinque Terre, Florence), wineries (Verrazzano, Brolio), and other activities (Ferrari Museum and Modena balsamic tasting). Everything was top rate. Let's start with the Villa, the pictures do not capture it. It was renovated several years ago, and all the fixtures are top notch, from the wood, to the tile, to the appliances. It is also VERY CLEAN. The bedrooms are spacious and the bathrooms are numerous. The pool is wonderful and there is plenty of space around the pool to sunbathe, watch the kids, and have a drink. It is also secured with a perimeter fence so that little ones cannot get in without lifting a child safety latch. Now on to Stefano... he was amazing. If there was something we wanted - such as a last minute dinner reservation - he was able to make it happen and always had a back up plan with suggestions. Given the three generations, he was also able to suggest and make day trip travel arrangements that provided information and entertainment for those 5 yrs old to 80+. I cannot say enough good things about him and his concierge services. And lastly, Chef Fabrizio and his and Stefano's mama... For over half our trip, we had Chef Fabrizio as our personal, family chef. My family of 11 has wildly differing tastes and he was able to create family style meals where everyone walked away happy, from the vegetarians, to those that love seafood, and others who were less adventurous. Him and his mother also made different desserts every night, from cannoli, to tiramisu, to gelato. We remarked how his food - and not the restaurants in Florence, Venice, and Tuscany - was the highlight. It was a dream vacation, exceeding all of our expectations.

Perfekter Familienurlaub
Das Haus und der riesige Garten sind super sauber, gepflegt und mehr als ordentlich. Die Küche könnte von der Ausstattung mit jedem Restaurant konkurrieren, man kann sich wirklich austoben. Die Empfehlungen vom Besitzer, Stefano, waren alle fantastisch und hilfreich (egal ob Restaurants, Supermärkte oder was man unternehmen möchte) Können es nur unbedingt weiterempfehlen!

Fabulous Villa
We had the most amazing family holiday at Villa Columbai. The facilities are superb and there is plenty to do for all ages. Stefano is the perfect host and always on hand to provide advice and help when needed. We would recommend the Pizza workshop which was great fun and also Chef Francesca cooked us a fabulous meal in house. Tuscany is a beautiful area to visit and Villa Columbai the perfect base. We would thoroughly recommend this property and thank you Stefano once again for the great experience and all your help.

We spent twelve days at this beautiful place. The owners are perfect hosts and always available in case you needed some guidance, help or ideas on what to do. the house is huge and the pool very large and marvelous. The garden is beautiful and very large and for the boys there is a large soccer field. So yes we would come back again and strongly reccommend this place.

Outstanding hospitality, fantastic accommodation, beautiful surroundings
We have just come back from a spectacular weekend at Villa Colombai and I cannot recommend it enough!! 11 of us travelled over for a (classy) hen-do and we were pleasantly surprised by this stunning villa. It is even nicer than in the photos. It was perfect. Stefano and Anna were more than accommodating, helping us from our time of booking with activity suggestions, arranging transport and also helping us with restaurant reservations, and going out of his way to make sure the weekend ran smoothly. The villa is the perfect base for exploring Tuscany or an Italian retreat. It's comfortable and spacious, with a beautiful pool, pizza oven, table tennis, to name only a few attractions! It was perfect for group! Stefano helped us arrange the following activities and we loved them all! Wine tasting at Verrazzano vineyard in Chianti, a visit to the huge Asmana spa near Florence and pizza masterclass with Guido at the villa. I would highly recommend all of them! Stefano and Anna also provided transport for us all to and from the airport as well as to our activities. This place was amazing, I can't recommend it enough!

Amazing!
I can't say enough about this Villa. We had a family of 10, all different ages (even toddlers and teens) and we were all so comfortable. The pool, the entire outdoor area, huge field for the kids to run around, great kitchen and bedrooms. Only 15min to the Altopascio Train Station where we popped on the short train ride to Florence for the day! We actually drove by Pisa on the way to the Villa as it is so close. Some adults went on a wine tasting trip for the day. The market is not far either. One of the nights we had a local chef come and make dinner, incredible. Stefano is so accommodating, anything we needed he was there!

Relaxing, fun, great for all ages, just as I imagined Tuscany
We had a fantastic week here. The villa is beautiful and very spacious for ten of us. The pool and grounds are amazing. Although we did pop out for a bit of sightseeing the children enjoyed just splashing around for hours. The pool depth and steps made it perfect for younger and older children. Great location - the local village has everything

Tremendous!
This is an amazing villa set in interesting and beautiful grounds. It has everything one needs to relax and enjoy the fantastic local area, particularly Lucca. The village of Orentano (only a 10 minute walk away) is charming and has a number of shops and restaurants for immediate needs. There is also a lager supermarket just a short drive away.Stefano is an excellent host, with knowledgeable local information at his finger tips. His recommendations were always tremendously useful. We stayed as a family of 6 adults and a small baby and found that the villa had everything we needed and more! On the final evening we enjoyed a meal cooked at the villa by a local chef- a very good way to end a fantastic holiday. We all agreed we will not hesitate to re-book when the occasion arises.

Gorgeous villa in wonderful Tuscany - a brilliant place to holiday
Our group consisted of four adults and two children (aged 10 and 8). The adults were in their 40s and 70s so we needed a villa to cater for all needs. Villa Colombai is stunning and was perfect for us - the large pool was great for the children and the adults and the large plot and outdoor eating area next to the kitchen was well used by all. The villa is well located; 25 minutes or so from Pisa airport, the same to Lucca, and a short ride to the local town where you can catch a train to Florence. Stefano was brilliant. He was friendly, welcoming and unfailingly helpful and kind. For example, on the day we arrived our hire car broke down. Stefano, sorted everything out with the hire company, including meeting them at 11pm to confirm with their mechanics that the vehicle needed to be replaced. Stefano knows the local area very well and was a great source of advice around where to go. Every recommendation he made was a cracker - the two that were most noteworthy were the wine trip to the Garfagnana Valley and the lady chef (Francesca) who came to the villa to cook an evening meal for the group. Fantastic stuff. He really couldn't do enough for us. We have been hiring villas for many years and this is the best we have ever been to. We strongly recommend Villa Colombai and Stefano to everyone and we will be going back as soon as we can!
