The villa is breathtaking. I was speechless while being shown around the property as it is so beautiful. The pictures do not do it justice. The pool is incredible, the villa has all the amenities you would ever need and more. The grounds to walk around are beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at villa Sonia and would love to come back again. The host Debora was so friendly and answered all our questions. This place is worth every penny.

Beautiful villa, owned by a local family. Perfect setting for large families. Set in the medieval village of San Donato. The views are spectacular. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. We made pasta but there is a pizza oven and bbq available. The pool is amazing but there is also a football table and table tennis, plus board games. The Villa is very clean and there’s lots of places to sit and enjoy the views as a family or to eat meals. There is a local coop and pizza takeaway and a few great restaurants nearby. We hired cars, which is essential if you want to go outside of the village. We visited Florence, Siena and San Gimignano, which are all approximately 30 minutes away. I would definitely recommend this villa for a memorable holiday.

The place was everything that I had hoped for and more. Plenty of room for our group with the different sleeping areas, everyone had the opportunity to have their own space when needed. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that was need. The views, especially at sunrise and sunset were unbelievable. Conveniently located between Florence and Siena allowed for easily visiting both cities. The owners were waiting to greet us upon arrival and showed us all around the property, and answered any questions that we had. The place is exactly like the pictures, and pool was a perfect place to relax after a day of sightseeing. There were also several excellent restaurants within walking distance.

Villa Sonia was perfect in every way, The buildings are beautiful, the grounds immaculate. The facilities inside are very modern, with plenty of everything to allow us to explore cooking with the local ingredients. We even tried out the pizza oven on our last night. The layout of the buildings gives plenty of space for everyone to get together or, find their own pool of tranquility. This made it a joy to spend the week with friends and family (we had 6 adults, 3 teens and an 8 year old). The pictures on the website really do not do justice to what you will find when you arrive. A big thank-you to Barbara & family who were perfect hosts, so welcoming and friendly, this made the checking in process after a long day of travel painless. They were always there to help with anything (we had a power cut the first night, and they arrived in minutes to fix). We're already thinking about a return visit. The honesty bar wine cellar a surprise bonus! One minor niggle - and nothing to do with the property, is that there is no gelateria in San Donato, however the one in Castellina is well worth the short drive.

We stayed at Villa Sonia during a family vacation to Tuscany. The Villa is absolutely wonderful, we can't say enough positive things about the grounds, amenities, pool, etc. It is a very special place and we enjoyed it immensely. The host Deborah and family are welcoming, helpful and take excellent care of Villa Sonia. It was perfect for our needs as we are a large family and appreciated having separate living spaces but communal areas to gather as well. The hosts have truly thought of everything to make their guests stay comfortable, enjoyable and peaceful. The pictures don't do it justice, it's even more beautiful in person. The location is quaint and there are a few good restaurants, grocery store and pharmacy in walking distance. The village of San Donato in Poggio is charming and serene and we loved seeing the town. There are also good wineries within 15 minutes drive. Highly recommend Villa Sonia! Make sure to plan for free time for the pool as you won't want to leave!

Wow! Perfect Tuscan vacation.

We booked two weeks at Villa Sonia and invited friends and family to join us on our Tuscan dream vacation. We chose Villa Sonia because of the modern look of the interior and the location. We could not have picked a better property. The owners were waiting for us when we arrived. The place was immaculate. There are three rooms in the main living quarters and another three separate rooms with private entrances. It was perfect for our needs. The infinity pool is spectacular. It was crystal clear and overlooked the beautiful Tuscan hills. The location is perfect. Centrally located between Florence, Siena and San Gimignano. About 40 minutes from the Florence Airport. There is some road noise which you can hear when outside but it is not too bad and a small inconvenience considering the location and impeccable condition of the property. I highly recommend you put Villa Sonia at the top of your list. You will not be disappointed.

Perfect villa in a perfect location for a 3 generations vacation. We - a family over 3 generations of 7 adults & 2 small children - spent a week in this beautiful location and way above standard villa. The entire host family was awaiting us on the property to ensure everything is in order. Everything was sparkling clean and in working order, the kitchen well equipped for at least 10 eaters and space for 3 simultaneous chefs and even more bystanders. We had the lunches usually in our sight seeing destinations (Siena, Florence, San Gimignano) and cooked dinner ourselves every day in the house and enjoyed a perfectly grilled bistecca fiorentina and self made pizza & bread from the fabulous pizza oven. The table in the garden was the perfect setting for this with the benefit of no driver needed after extensive wine tasting. The quality of the furnitures and actually all items in and around the house are of unusual high quality - what a nice difference to the cheap plastic stuff you find in most places. The pool was absolutely spotless, the lawn well kept. The property is large enough, so one can enjoy also a quite moment "away from the crowd". We all in the family agreed that is one of the few places we would consider to return - next time for 2 weeks !

Review for stay from 12 July 2025 to 26 July 2025

We had an amazing and restful time at this villa - as others have said, the pictures don't do it justice. It's set in a beautiful part of the country side, short walk to San Donato with shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Larger supermarkets 15 mins drive away so a car is recommended - and easy to manage from Florence airport but allow plenty of time for collecting and dropping off hire cars at the airport as you need to use a short transfer bus and you might need to wait for 1 or 2 of the 20 minute loops to get on. We were 6 in the villa so all 4 children had their own rooms and plenty of space. The house is very well equipped and the owners have really worked hard to make it a home from home. Kitchen is very well equipped, there are lots of places to sit in the property by yourself or with others and the table football and table tennis table were a great addition. The local bourse management (Debora and family - you get to meet everyone! :-) are very supportive with advice when you need it but also leave you alone to enjoy the villa. Weather was hot (32 degrees generally) but the stone house manages the heat well and the air conditioning is perfectly adequate. We particularly enjoyed the volunteer-run pizza restaurant next to the Coop. Great fun and I can't think of anything about the property or the holiday that we could improve -- and of course you have Florence on your doorstep (use the 'park and ride'), and Pisa, Sienna, Lucca all very reachable for a day trip. If you pick this villa, I'm sure you'll have a great time.

The Villa and grounds are immaculate. Close to a lot of the small Chianti towns and central location if wanting to travel to Florence, Venice etc.The Villa was as described and more. There was plenty of separate rooms for all 12 of my family. Lots of kitchen and dining space. Enough dishes and accessories anyone would need. The pool was huge and enjoyed every day. So clean and beautiful scenery all around. Plenty of loungers, towels etc. Loved it on those hot day. Loved how the bedrooms were like separate apartments. Our family consisted of 4 separate families and we all had our own spaces. The 3 older grandchildren had their rooms and bathroom upstairs to themselves so worked out great. They were all very clean and very unique. Beds were very comfortable and air conditioned which we really appreciated. Bathrooms were clean, showers were great. Nothing to complain about here. Loved the little town of San Donato which is within walking distance of the Villa. An amazing restaurant on the hills next to Village plus many others in town. Best pizza by the street vendor. The Posaerelli agency was very helpful helping me plan before our trip and once we got her Debora the owner was very helpful with suggestions and providing us with everything we needed including a stroller. Both answered our questions quickly and with patience. Thank you!!

Et fortreffelig sted og eiendom. Langt større eiendom enn vi hadde forestilt oss, med en rekke uteplasser og sittegrupper. Bassenget og området rundt var bare fantastisk. Huset med sine mange rom og individuelle løsninger gjorde vår organisering av oppholdet enkelt. Kjøkkenet er en stor glede for enhver som er glad i å lage mat for mange. Meget velutstyrt og med store mengder dekketøy osv. Dette huset og eiendommen er noe enhver bør se fram til for gode feriedager. Beliggenheten var topp, midt mellom Firenze og Siena. Vi besøkte begge disse, samt San Gimignano (Tårnbyen), Panzano, Radda, Greve alle i Chianti. Legg inn et besøk på en vingård - vi valgte Tenuta di Carleone i Radda. Dette er et sted og besøk vi sent vil glemme. En knapp kilometer unna ligger San Donato med Trattoria la Toppa (Michelin anbefaling). de beste anbefalinger gis fra 5 voksne og tre barn 13, 5 og 3 år.

Una estancia de ensueño. La villa está situada espléndidamente a mitad de camino de Florencia y de siena (aprox 30 km de cada una) lo que permite acceder varias veces a las mismas. La villa es preciosa. Muy cuidada. Vistas estupendas y una piscina magnífica.la vivienda espaciosa y con todo lujo de detalles. Pegada a un pueblo medieval con todos los servicios como san Donato in poggio. La propiedad es súper atenta y está disponible permanentemente para solucionar todos los problemas que puedan surgir.

Great holiday, introduced to the property on arrival by the family/owners. Beautifully clean and the layout suited our 3 families perfectly. The kitchen was an added bonus, so many large houses we visit simply do not have the tools for cooking for 12 but this villa certainly does. So we eat most evenings at the villa but we did pop out and eat at the local pizzeria which is close and cheap and very tasty. Located with easy reach of San Gimignano/Florence/Siena and dozens of winery’s. We visited Fatteria La Ripa about a mile away and the host was knowledgeable and great story teller, so much more interesting than the normal ‘we produce 150k bottles and they cost €!’ All round great holiday and great and well appointed inside and out villa and the A/C was a really appreciated and well used !! We would highly recommend :-)
