When we arrived at 8:30pm, the lady who greeted and lived on site did not have any idea we were coming, she thought it had been cancelled, despite us paying when requested and emailing the owner a couple of days before to inform her of our itinerary. The lady who greeted us was pleasant and polite, did not speak any English which is very understandable, made communicating tricky, but Google translate relayed communication well enough. But as she had no idea we were coming nothing was ready in the Villa, she said she would change the bed there and then, then clean and sort everything else out the next day. This was not done, she only change the bed sheets. The villa had clearly not been cleaned for a while and we had no soap, toilet paper or washing powder. I did not expect a large amount but everywhere I have gone have at least left a small supply of essentials to get you through the first night until you can get to the shop. The level of lighting was very low, and would be hard at night for people with sight issues, also there is WiFi but not in the villa - you have to go outside the villa for a signal. I was really disappointed with the level of cleanliness in the villa, it was not filthy but it was poor and I expect better from holiday accommodation. It's doubly annoying when the lady responsible for the cleaning asks you for €50 euros at the end of the holiday, when she had clearly not cleaned it for us. Outside the Villa is as lovely as the pictures show and very pleasant lounge around under the beautiful Tuscan sun. The people who live on site, Ellie the dog and the maintenance guy are all very nice. It was our dream to go to Tuscany and this was an amazing holiday for us. However the Villa was the only aspect of the whole holiday stopping it from being the perfect holiday for us, which is such a shame because the Villa has so much potential.

A really beautiful property in a wonderful setting. Our apartment had everything we could need and was very clean and well kept. Gloria, our host, was wonderful and so helpful. Hope to return.

Villa Lorian is a lovely villa well positioned in the heart of the Brunello wine region. The villa is well appointed with many antique pieces, plenty of room for privacy among fellow travelers, and great larger areas to assemble comfortably as well. We enjoyed the pool which is very refreshing after a day of sight-seeing. The highlight of Villa Lorian is Mari who helps guests feel welcomed and assists with any needs. Mari is a wonderful cook and makes your experience at Villa Lorian extra special because of her warmth and guidance for which made our trip even more special! Thank you Mari .... we will miss you!

The villa was just as it appeared in the photos. The outdoor space is incredible. So much space. A beautiful pool area, BBQ and plenty of outdoor seating for al fresco dining. Mosquitos are prolific though - as to be expected - so just bring mossie guard and you'll be fine! Inside is charming. Rustic Italian decor but all very clear and functional. Kitchen well supplied for plenty of people. The location is up a relatively steep hill out of town with limited street lighting, so for anyone with mobility issues, it may be a tough walk. But otherwise, it is a 10-15 minute walk into the town with its amenities and train station. Easy access to Florence by train which was great to avoid city driving. For a large group wanting access to all that Tuscany has to offer, I can highly recommend this villa. We had a wonderful time.
