Cetona Villa | Cooking & Wine Tasting in Tuscany for Your Large Group! Booking Open for 2025!

10 Bedroom Villa in Cetona

If you are looking for an elegant, well appointed and super comfortable estate for your holiday in Tuscany, this is it! With 10 bedrooms and 9 baths, there is room for everyone and plenty of privacy too. The villa is located midway between Rome and Florence, just 15 minutes from Chiusi and the entrance to the A1 Autostrada. It is also just 15 minutes from the train station, one of only a few stops made on the train line between Rome and Florence. The location is ideal for taking day trips to most areas of both Tuscany and Umbria and returning before dinner.
The villa is designed with six spacious living suites each with a living room (with fireplace), dining area and kitchen; one suite with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, two suites with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths , and three suites with 1 bedroom and 1 bath. Each living suite has been newly renovated and is fully furnished with local antiques and comfortable beds that can be either one king bed or two single beds as you prefer. And there is A/C in each of the bedrooms! The floors are terra cotta and the ceilings are brick and wood beamed and this authentic Tuscan Villa has been completely updated with modern ceramic baths and new kitchens (a total of 7 kitchens!). The living suites are quite spacious giving everyone plenty of privacy yet you are still all together under one roof. And there is a spectacular pool just steps from the villa with contemporary chaise lounges and umbrellas to protect from the sun. It is set panoramically out overlooking the fields of sunflowers and gently swaying wheat. A wonderful place to relax after a day of touring and a perfect place to rest and read a good book.
Most importantly, the villa offers a unique feature rarely available in other villa rentals; a separate large salon/living room (approximately 40 x 50 feet) with a great fireplace surrounded by comfy sofas and chairs as well as a dining table that seats 20 comfortably, separate bathrooms, and a restaurant-style kitchen great for cooking together, organizing a cooking class or just getting together in the evenings to talk over the day. There is another table outside on the terrace overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills that also accommodates 20 people. This setup is ideal for family reunions, special birthday or anniversary celebrations and especially weddings. We are very skilled in organizing your special event from flowers to food to music to officiants. We also offer babysitting, and photography services. We are happy to organize a local Winetasting, a Cooking and Pasta making event, a tour of the local Etruscan Tombs, local Ceramics classes , as well as suggest local itineraries and special places of interest, some off the beaten path that will leave you in awe of the beauty of Tuscany. Everything is here in one place to create a memorable Tuscan experience for you and your family and friends!
Here is what our guests have to say about their experience during their stay at the villa:
'This has been one of the best experiences of my life' - Gail J.
'The best vacation ever! It wouldn’t have been so without all of your relationships and special touches. Tuscany is beautiful, but you make it awesome!' - Stacey N.
'This has been a non-stop peace of mind vacation' - Pete T.
'This trip has far surpassed my expectations and I will never forget it'
'You exceeded our expectations, every day and we thank you, we love you and your villa, our home away from home!' - Tom S
'I can't begin to thank you for making our Tuscan adventure so memorable. Your relationship with the local people and knowledge of the area offered us opportunities we'd never experience on our own'
'What a beautiful week to be here (in Tuscany) and have a standoff on the hill with a tractor pulling a cart full of freshly harvested grapes and to see the shepherd herding the sheep down the road, to see the beautiful sunsets and storms in the valley. Thank you for your great advice, directions, wine, cheese and friendship.' Patsy J.
'We all have a meaning in life and yours is giving people like us a journey worth traveling.' Jennifer P.
'This trip has made me realize that we, as Americans, hurry up to relax whereas Italians relax no matter what they're doing. Thank you for letting us live this instead of tour it. The experience has been invaluable and unforgettable. I can't wait to come back. Its true, its easy to fall in love here.' Leslie
'Thanks again, another wonderful trip! We could probably solo by now, but its so much fun to be with you and the groups that your network brings together. We look forward to a three-peat!' Mike M.
The villa is available for rent at all times of the year for groups up to 25*. This property is an excellent choice for friends traveling together, families, reunions, corporate events, weddings and more - all will find this a wonderful and relaxing place to call home in a beautiful, well situated, not-so-touristy area of Tuscany.

Summary: We were a group of 4 families, total 18 persons in the age 13-52 years. The villa met all of our expectations. Great sleeping accommodations, lots of tools at the kitchen, super pool area and easy access for parking. Although, the road guiding could have been a bit better ;-) We mainly used the main kitchen and made a lot of meals there. So all the smaller kitchen remained unused, expect from some fridges. We would love to come back one time! Best regards for La Familia-HΓΈvik :)
Judy R. Jul 2, 2023 07:24:34 AM
Summary: We fell in love from the minute we arrived. Perfect for a family getaway, we each had space to have privacy and plenty of space to enjoy being together. Beautiful pool, beautiful home, and beautiful surroundings
Amy L. Aug 8, 2022 12:47:07 AM
Summary: Our family of 20 ranging from age 15 to age 84 (grandparents, siblings and cousins) stayed at the villa for a week. It was perfect for our family. All of the rooms have a sitting room and kitchen but there is also a common area, larger kitchen and seating indoors and outdoors for 20. And an awesome pool. Linda was amazing helping us to plan our trip and checking in on us during our trip. We had several delicious meals prepared for us at the villa and also did a cooking class at the villa. Can't say enough great things about this place!
Linda P. Aug 23, 2019 01:40:49 AM
Summary: This was our 3rd stay here in Cetona and it is always a fabulous experience. A great location from which to base to explore surrounding towns. Does require a rental car or transportation from neighboring train station. Would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting an authentic Tuscany experience.
Linda P. Jul 30, 2019 08:35:19 PM
Summary: We chose the amazing villa for a group 40th birthday celebration. We had a group of 15 and it was absolutely perfect, the villa is beyond expectation! The location was central to many cities that we visited, we were close enough to drive to Siena, Montepulciano and to the train station to Florence. On our last evening, we had a cooking class with Bea and enjoyed the most amazingly delicious dinner afterwards! If you are thinking of booking the villa, do not hestitate, book immediately, you won't regret it!!

Summary: This villa and the host, Linda Pappas is an experience you will never forget! We have been twice to this Villa and it is the only way to see Tuscany. The Villa is spacious, perfect for a large family or friends get together as each unit has its own kitchen, bathrooms, etc. It is in a perfect location to make day trips all over Tuscany and a short train ride away from all of the major cities. Very secluded, quiet and breathtaking views. Exceptional service and unique planned activities every other day like private wine tasting, a trip to Deruta to see how the beautiful pottery is made and pasta making at the Villa by a fabulous Chef-- but you actually roll the pasta and make the sauce! This trip is a must if you want a relaxing, memory filled week.
Ted W. May 27, 2018 08:35:23 PM
Summary: The Villa is beautiful. Just right for our group of 10. Bea our host was so helpful in making arrangements to visit the small towns in the area. Make sure you visit Massimo, Sonja and their dog Red at the Tuscan Soul Vineyard. Bea is a great cook.

Summary: If you have a large group Villa Chieteno is a perfect place to stay in Tuscany. We were a group of 18 family members from 18 to 70 during late June . We used all 10 bedrooms. What makes this villa so special 1. Location! So close to so many things in Tuscanyβ€”Assisi, Montepulciano, Monteciano, Pienza, Sienna, Civita di Bagnoregio, Cetona, Chiusi, Citta della Pieve, and much more. This is wine country, sunflower country and olive tree countryβ€”so beautiful. Cars are mandatory. 15 minutes from the A1 expressway 2. Total Privacyβ€”never saw another person within a mile of the villa 3. The incredibly large swimming pool with wonderful pool furniture 4. The immense size of the villa with 5 private apartments with separate living areas and kitchens. In addition, the common living room, dining room and kitchen were very large and provided a wonderful area for the group congregating 5. The beautiful patio with 20 person dining table overlooking the Tuscany countrysideβ€”we ate 4 meals here--two of the meals were prepared by Bea and were delicious. 6. Linda, our contact point for the villa was so helpful along every step of planning our trip and giving us great recommendations on wineries to visit, arranging transportation, restaurants and, grocery stores 7. Villa provided a pay as you go initial stock of 40 bottles of excellent wine (average 7 euros/bottle) and 40 bottle of water. Recommendations of what to do 1. Ravazzi Winery tour and store 15 min. away--great wine tasting in the middle of their beautiful vineyard and incredibly low prices (4 euros great Rose) 2. Avignonesi Winery Tour with lunch.Absolutely fabulous tour and lunch with wine pairings. 3. Castello di Fighine Michelin 1 Star Restaurant 20 min. away on a remote hilltop town. One of our best meals ever had 7 course tasting with great wine 4. Sensory Spa in Terme Di Chianciano about 25 min. away. 20 station amazing spa, massages available and great place for lunch 5. Cetona Centrumβ€”lots of good shops and restaurantsβ€”7 min.away 6. Rick Steves Monteciano Driveβ€”most gorgeous drive of wine country in Tuscany. Make an appt at a winery 7. Civita di Bagnoregio. What an amazing ancient city on a remote hilltop 8 Assisi. Great city and monastery to St Francis Caution: Villa (especially 1st floor) can be very warm in hot weather (93 degrees plus). Insist on fans for every bedroom. Leave all windows and outside doors to bedrooms open. That will equal comfort.

Summary: We held a three day celebration, Bea prepared a pasta night with 4 types of pasta for +30 persons. The main dining room proved sufficient to welcome such a large number as the rain forced us inside. For a welcome night, all our guests were flabbergasted by the quality and tastefulness of the dishes. We even had a trio of panacotta for dessert which were very tasty and light. The rehearsal dinner took place in nearby Citta Della Pieve, at restaurant Coppeta, as suggested by Bea. The restaurant is a very wel known local venue, full of local crowd and turned out to be a blast. Fantastic food, wine and very very good service for such a large group of 40 people. Linda has helped a lot too, working her vast network of local business people and friends and organized a tour of the Ravazzi winery for us. The owner, Roberta, prepared a tour and wine tasting with matching local cheese and cuts. The wedding day and the following day were very busy comprising of the wedding celebration, the cocktail, the dinner, the party, the midnight table and the next morning brunch. Due to the larger turnout of guests at our wedding than previously expected, we relied on a local supplier for the catering under the strict supervision of Bea for the food preparation and service. Both worked very well delivering the same tasty food we had tried at a much smaller scale at Beatrice place a few months earlier. All venues were successes in large thanks to Bea and Linda's help. Only them know the villa so well to provide the best support, the best accessory, be it the outside lamps and candles, the right place to plug speakers, cocktail tables, ice buckets, coordinate the waiters with the ceremony schedule and speakers.... their contribution to our wedding was essential and key and today we are so grateful for them being so generous and competent. I will conclude saying that Villa Chieteno is a magic place, you can come and enjoy it simply and Linda and Bea will make sure you have all the privacy you are looking for or, hold an event as important as an 80 people wedding and, most importantly a milestone life event, Linda and Bea will be up to the challenge to make it a world class event for you and your guests. For the rest of my life I will be grateful for Villa Chieteno, Beatrice and Linda, may you enjoy it as much as we did and preserve the authenticity of this place. Thank you Linda and Bea

Summary: I had a wonderful time at this amazing villa in the countryside of Cetona. The property was beautifully designed for both privacy and large group or family interactions. The pool was lovely, as were all the exterior appointments, landscape and scenery. Our friend group had the pleasure of being hosted by Linda Pappas, who was so knowledgable about the area and gracious about our needs. We left with a sense of lasting friendship with Linda. The stay at this villa was charming, peaceful and authentic. The nearby hill towns were a delight and a short drive from the villa, though a car was essential. It was everything I had hoped for and more!
