“5-Star Review for Villa Bertagni – A Fairytale Escape in Tuscany Villa Bertagni isn’t just a place to stay—it’s an experience that feels lifted from the pages of a Renaissance novel. The owner is truly exceptional. From booking top-tier restaurants to sharing local insights, his care and attention made us feel less like guests and more like cherished friends. Every recommendation turned into a highlight, and his morning “briefings” over breakfast added a delightful sense of adventure and community to each day. Our room was pure charm, with regal vibes that gave off serious “Duke’s summer palace” energy—ornate, cozy, and steeped in character. The entire villa exudes historical beauty while still feeling inviting. With two pools on the property, there’s no shortage of places to unwind. Whether lounging in the sun or taking a refreshing dip, it was hard to tear ourselves away. Breakfast was simple but heartwarming: eggs, cheese, meats, crusty bread, fresh croissants, and smooth Italian coffee. It felt intimate and just right to kick-start the day. From start to finish, Villa Bertagni delivered a magical blend of elegance, hospitality, and thoughtful touches. Couldn’t have asked for more—I’d return in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a stay that’s truly special.”
“The place is straight out of a fairy tale! Gorgeous decor in the room and also the public areas. The owner is super nice and also very knowledgeable about the area. Tasty breakfast to top it off!”
“We recently had a beautiful stay at this villa. The historic rooms and villa were absolutely stunning and filled with so much history. Our host was incredibly welcoming and hospitable. He was a wonderful guide to the beautiful town and always gave the best resturant suggestions. We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend”
“The place is so much beautiful in person, makes you feel like you are in a movie all the time. Surrounded by nature, very quiet. At night specially the resting is perfect. The room was beautiful and they make your bed and clean it while you are taking breakfast, which is really comfortable. The owner moshik is the nicest person, he helps you with anything you need and makes you feel at home. It totally worths it and i hope i can go again some day!”
