Beautiful vistas, quiet, charming and elegant. Sits on a hilltop. Updated kitchen and bathrooms but still has all the charm of a Tuscan villa. A large patio and pool overlook the hills/mountains. Breathtaking...

Eight friends stayed at Villa Strozzi in early May. I highly recommend the owner's offer of a welcoming dinner - just what is needed after a long trip and the food and wine was excellent.The Villa is the perfect base for trips to all of the main towns of Tuscany, including Florence. The owners and staff could not have been more attentive and made the stay feel as though we had found out own villa. The Villa itself is a magnificent old building but with all the modern conveniences, including a wonderful swimming pool. The view are to die for. It is close to Montaione, a delightful local town with great coffee, shops and gelato. One of the treasured remembrances was a visit to the owner's daughter's farm where she provided afternoon tea and tasted her wonderful home grown olive oil. Can't wait to return.

A little piece of paradise hidden in the valley. We spent one week in one of the finest villas I've been in. We had private pool, good sun conditions, large rooms, good beds, a great kitchen .... everything one could dream of. The hosts are some wonderful people , always helpful with good advice on everything from shopping to cooking. We arrived at the villa late at night, the hosts had prepered a delicious meal made ​​from ingredients from their own garden. We were very pleased and can recommend the villa strongly. By the way; one week is too short to stay :)

Four of us stayed at Villa Strozzi the last two weeks of September 2015. Thinking about a villa in Tuscany, the Villa Strozzi was everything and more than we dreamed it would be. Communicating with Vicky ( Franca's daughter) when planning our trip, was so easy. She answered every question quickly and accurately and was happy to accommodate us. The villa setting is picturesque with gorgeous sunsets and countryside views, well maintained, in an ideal location as our home away from home and with our GPS easy to find. We felt very safe and secure. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds. The ensuite bathrooms were large and modern with plenty of hot water and perfectly functioning utilities, and hairdryers. All linens were first class and beautifully laundered. The living areas were large and elegant yet homey. The kitchen was well equipped including a coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher, two refrigerators with freezer compartments and best of all Carrera marble table and counters. We also had access to a laundry. The outdoor areas are beautiful and well cared for with huge pots of lime trees and flowers. Plenty of comfortable patio tables with umbrellas and a grill. The pool was beautiful and serviced daily. We found the villa chapel to be a lovely spiritual gift from another era and way of life which seemed an appropriate opportunity to give thanks. Franca, the gracious owner and resident was always available to help us with information and suggestions when needed as were the caretakers. We did request a typical Tuscan meal for our first night at the villa and what a wonderful and delicious treat it was; an ideal start to our visit! The family dog with her wagging tail was always the perfect ending to our daily excursions; always happy to welcome us home. Tuscany is truly a beautiful place but the memories closest to our hearts will always be of our time and our hosts at the Villa Strozzi.

We have been coming to the Villa for more than a decade now, and it is always one of the highlights of our year. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Tuscany, this remote villa features romantic vistas, charming rooms and a private pool amid an ambiance of understated elegance. It is a destination best suited for those seeking a quiet refuge from the hustle and bustle of the touristy towns of Tuscany, while being perfectly situated for easy day trips to those locations. Our most recent trip took place last May, when we visited with a group of extended family and friends (age range 4 years to 72). The villa has been updated recently: the bathrooms and kitchen have been overhauled with state-of-the-art amenities. The rooms are elegant, clean, spacious as can be. And the views are spectacular, with green hills and woods as far as the eye can see. The pool features a comfortable sun deck, and the patio areas provide ample room for outdoor dining. The owners are delightful hosts, and extremely accommodating. We love going there and cannot recommend the Villa Strozzi-Collgegalli highly enough.

A large family of 15, we selected this beautiful villa to spend our holidays together. Situated on a hill overlooking the surrounding hills and forests, the setting allowed us all to enjoy a peacefull week. As the premises are of very generous proportions with several living and reading rooms everyone could enjoy their privacy when needed, on the other hand the lovely terrace and the large dining room were just perfect for all our family meals and parties. The pool size is all right and it is kept very clean. All the rooms are beautiful with lovely views. We particularly enjoyed the large kitchen and the music room with its piano. It is easy to make day trips to Sienna, Pisa, San Gimignano or Florence. We would like to thank warmly Gabriela, who taught us to make a true Italian risotto and was always there when we needed her. We would like to thank also Ludovica for her care, she made our stay just perfect. We will certainly come back again soon!

Ich denke, wir waren wir waren 1997 das erste Mal dort, als unsere Kinder noch klein waren und danach jedes Jahr, zuletzt schon mit den Enkelkindern und jedes mal war es wunderschön, ungetrübt und rundum erfreulich. Das Haus ist über hundert Jahre alt und hat den Charme eines Toskanischen Landhauses, mit großzügigen Schlaf- und Wohnräumen, (der große Salon allein hat ca 90m²) einer riesigen Terrasse mit atemberaubendem Ausblick und einer Ruhe und Ungestörtheit, wie man sie selten findet. Franca Burgisser, die Besitzerin, ist ungemein freundlich und hilfsbereit, aber diskret im Hintergrund. Schwimmen, joggen und wandern kann man dort sehr gut, für Tennis oder Golf muss man allerdings einige Kilometer fahren. Ristoranti gibt es tolle in der Gegend, sie sind allerdings nicht immer leicht zu finden. Aber Franca hilft! Wer wirklich Ruhe und Erholung sucht, kann kaum einen besseren Platz finden.

9 of us stayed at this gorgeous villa for a few days in September. Although a little hard to find, being at the very end of a bumpy dirt road, it was well worth it. Greeted by lovely Franca and with prompt communication from Vicky, we felt instantly welcomed and at home. The villa is absolutely huge, with plenty of room to spend time either privately or in a group. Great kitchen for group cooking, and incredible views all round. Downstairs bedroom perhaps a little dark, but overall absolutely no complaints. We would definitely go back to spend more time at this beautiful place!

It took me a while to write this review ...A very unique , well preserved and wonderful villa. We enjoyed the wonderful views of the surrounding hills, the very spacious and elegant rooms, the very private setting. If you are looking for peace and quiet in a wonderful setting this is the place for you. The food shopping is superb, the restaurants in the nearby towns are excellent. It is well situated to visit all the nearby Tuscan towns and great for long hikes and walks. The owners are very gracious and very helpful.

My wife and I stayed at Collegalli almost every year for more than 20 years - that, perhaps, says enough! The location is peaceful, with only the sounds of the birds to wake one up in the morning, and yet there is enough to keep any tourist happy either locally in San Miniato or Montaione, or about an hour's drive away in Florence, Pisa, and other cities of Tuscany. Franca Burgisser is a welcoming, multilingual hostess and the accommodation leaves nothing to be desired. We've recommended the villa to friends and those who have taken it up have thoroughly enjoyed their stay.
