Villa Dianella - Spicchio-Sovigliana

This was our fist time ever staying at a Villa in the Tuscany region so didn’t know what to expect. Villa Dianella EXCEEDED our expectations. Aside from the GORGEOUS landscape and OUTSTANDING staff, we enjoyed a FABULOUS cooking class, DELICIOUS wine tasting and an AMAZING private dinner experience all on property. And the train station to Florence is a short 10-min drive (you can request a taxi) and the train to Florence is easy peasy and only a 30-min ride. Dianella has set the bar high for our family for sure! Thank you!

From the moment I arrived at Villa Dianella, nestled in the heart of Tuscany near Vinci, I knew my stay would be nothing short of magical. This 16th-century hunting lodge turned luxurious wine resort, with its rich history and breathtaking views of the Tuscan hills, offered an experience that was both enchanting and deeply relaxing. As I wandered through the lush gardens, I was struck by the villa's serene beauty and the panoramic vistas that surrounded it. The infinity pool, overlooking the olive groves and vineyards, was a tranquil oasis where I spent many peaceful hours soaking up the Tuscan sun. The charm of Villa Dianella extended to my accommodation as well. My suite, one of the villa's elegantly appointed rooms, was a perfect blend of classic Tuscan elegance and modern comfort. The attention to detail in the decor, with its fine furnishings and luxurious amenities, made my stay exceptionally comfortable. Dining at Villa Dianella was a highlight of my visit. The on-site restaurant, Il Magazzino, served exquisite Tuscan cuisine made with the freshest local ingredients, many sourced from the villa's own gardens. Each meal was a culinary adventure, perfectly paired with the villa's own exquisite wines. The wine tastings and olive oil samplings, hosted in the villa's ancient cellars, were not only informative but a delightful sensory experience. The staff at Villa Dianella deserves special mention for their warm hospitality and impeccable service. They went above and beyond to ensure my stay was memorable, offering personalized recommendations and sharing insights into the local culture and history. One of the most unforgettable experiences was the bicycle tour through the surrounding countryside. Riding through the picturesque landscape of vineyards and olive trees, with stops at charming local villages, was like stepping into a postcard of idyllic Tuscany. As I departed Villa Dianella, I took with me not just memories of a luxurious stay but a deeper appreciation for the beauty and rich heritage of Tuscany. Villa Dianella was more than just a place to stay; it was an immersion into a lifestyle where beauty, history, and the joys of the palate are celebrated in every moment. I am already longing for my next visit to this Tuscan paradise.

Posto bello bella cantina.

3 Star Hotel yet feels like a 5 Star Hotel! Brilliant location within their own vineyard, waking up to birds chirping daily. Breakfast serves one of the freshest best homegrown lemon orange hybrid juice ever! (each of us definitely have 2 cups every morning. Service staffs are well trained and friendly, always going the extra mile. Receptions are helpful to assisting us on the local activities and guides, planning for our meals as such. Room was spacious, comfortable, well maintained. (see video kettle was slightly too heavy with limescale. In house wine tour tasting food pairing, was a great experience. Enjoyed their Tuscan reserve wine. They also reuse the leftover grapes and make into candles! Smells lovely! Environmentally friendly. Also had a dinner arranged by their in house chef, Tuscan Ham Florentine Steak Homegrown garden salad (very fresh! Meats was a bit salty, but lovely experience!
