Sixteen of our family members ages 1-80 spent a week at Villa Santa Chiara in September 2025. The villa, hosting and activities exceeded every one of our high expectations. Anna and Mario were more like friendly family concierges than official hosts. In the months leading up to the visit, they patiently answered our numerous questions and provided advice on wine tasting, cooking classes at the villa, driver and van rental, and guided walking tours. We rented the entire villa - 3 apartments. We enjoyed walking to the old city center from the villa - about 30 min - to enjoy museums and excellent restaurants. In the late afternoon and evenings we relaxed outside around the fire pit to enjoy the views and fine wine. A small grocery store 5 min walk from the villa provided all the essentials we needed for cooking and snacking. The kids loved exploring the beautiful property including the playground and resident poultry. They swam in the pool or visited the hot tub daily. During our visit Anna and Mario helped us arrange 2 chef-created family dinners and 2 cooking classes with Chef Eliana. This was a special highlight and very comfortable in the villa’s separate dining/kitchen building with large indoor and outdoor tables. Thank you, Anna and Mario, for 15/10 hosting and wonderful family memories.
