“Beautiful and charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013

My boyfriend and I rented a car and spent the last week of April 2012 driving around Tuscany and I have to say Villa Cicolina was the best place we stayed in during this trip. It was a tad difficult to locate but the lady manager who picked up our call for help was really helpful and even got out to receive us when we arrived. I was so taken by the gardens surrounding the 500 year old villa. The gardener who goes about his business quietly really made the place look terrific, he even offered to switch on the jacuzzi for us when he saw us hanging out near it (water was too cold to dip in but it was refreshing just to hang out). The grounds were well kept and clean and offers a great view especially by the pool. The main building is permeated by the faint scent of flowers everyday. Our room upstairs was so quaint with all the antique furniture. I loved looking at the details of every piece. The view from the room was unblocked and so beautiful. We spent quite a bit of time hanging out at the garden and terrace soaking in the sun and just enjoying the view of flowers. Although there was no pool service, staff at the villa were always willing to help us out, all we needed to do was ask. When we asked for recommendations to visit a winery, they recommended Villa Sant'Anna where we discovered some great wines and had a splendid time. Overall, Villa Cicolina offered a really charming and lovely experience. We will definitely recommend this place and hope to visit again.

P.S: We did not dine at the restaurant simply because we were somewhere else till after dinner hours everyday.

Room Tip: We stayed in the room Le Perle.

“Tuscany at its Best!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

Idyllic. Welcoming. Accommodating. Delicious. Outstanding . . . adjectives that perfectly describe Villa Cicolina and their staff. In October 2012, my husband and I got married in Montepulciano. Based on the beautiful pictures of the villa and the surrounding area, we decided that Villa Cicolina would be "home base" for our wedding. Our immediate families were a part of this trip so we booked two rooms (Il Balcone, Lavigna) and the private cottage. From the moment we reached out to the villa to book our rooms we knew we had chosen the best place to get married and spend a wonderful week in Tuscany.

You can definitely tell the owners strive to make Villa Cicolina the best stay in Tuscany. The attention to detail is remarkable. The villa rooms are beautifully decorated and super clean. The views from the upper rooms are breathtaking. Every morning, the villa florist is on site making fresh floral arrangements for every room in the villa. The grounds are immaculate. The gardener is there around the clock, tending to the grounds. I mean when you consider that it's a 19th century structure, it is so well maintained.

When it comes to the staff, again the owners are making sure they have the best. Everyone is so welcoming and really go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. I can't say that I've stayed anywhere else where I've felt so at home.

The food at the on-site restaurant is outstanding. Our wedding reception far exceeded our expectations. Our pasta was handmade that morning by Mimmo!

This isn't your typical 5-star experience because it's not "big-box" five star but Villa Cicolina is a five-star place that is authentic. If you want to experience the best of Tuscany, choose Villa Cicolina as your home base. You will not be disappointed!

Room Tip: For the best view - Il Balcone.

“Nothing Better”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 25, 2013

We enjoyed and celebrated our Wedding at Villa Cicolina and must say that everything at this wonderful old Villa was perfect. The house keeping, front desk, manager, owner, food and my favorite Romanian guy that does everything including taking care of the entire property who also dons a suit and drives us to the church was beyond expectations.

Rooms were perfect, clean and roomy. This was all accompanied by the beautiful landscape that makes Villa Cicolina. If you're looking to get married here contact Italia Celebrations owned and operated by Brenda Babcock. She fits your budget and doesn't miss a beat. Otherwise, this Villa is a must.

Too much to describe, but it was unforgettable.

Go here!

“Amazing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

My Wife and I stayed at Villa Cicolina during our honeymoon. The property was beautiful. Our secluded cottage was the perfect balance of comfort and convenience. The food was amazing. We took a cooking class our first night which was very fun. Sayed was there to assist us throughout our stay and Aliyah hand picked the perfect vineyards for us to visit and arranged everything. Our only regret is that we could only stay two nights, this place deserves a week or more! We'll be back someday!!!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 16, 2012

Set in the Tuscan hills with stunning views over looking Montepulciano Villa Cicolina is a beautiful 11 room villa set in fabulous grounds with a spectacular swimming pool. We stayed for three nights in a gorgeous room called Montepulciano that was spacious and charmingly Italian. Delicious home cooked Tuscan food and attentive and very helpful staff. We loved it.
