It was all perfect: The house is great. The room setup and overall accommodations matched our family’s needs very well.
All of the staff: Marcella (housekeeper), Claudio (server), and Donatella (chef) were kind, professional and extremely accommodating. Marcella was very sweet and did an amazing job assisting on dishes and laundry.
Claudio was kind and professional, and did well interacting with the family - kids and adults. Donatella's food was absolutely amazing. There was always (way) more than we could eat. It was all delicious and extremely well done. Both Claudio and Donatella were very fluent in English. - Blair


















































Leila
Europe / Italy / Tuscany
Villa Leila is typical Tuscan patrician villa and is positioned high atop a hill on a large estate in the Chianti area. Although the villa is an ideal retreat for privacy, the city of Florence is easily reached in just twenty-five minutes.
