Il Camino

5 ^/5 Excellent   Villa Review Rating Details

This Villa was the highlight of our 12 day trip to Italy. The family was very accommodating and fun to be around. In fact my husband wants to plan a return visit to stay here for a week. We played golf, took cooking classes, ate dinner with the family and many other things. If you want an excellent experience, I would recommend this Villa HIGHLY!

5 ^/5 Excellent   Villa Review Rating Details

Our family was searching for a venue for our daughter’s wedding near Siena; she had chosen to be married on my husband’s and mine 30th Wedding Anniversary, her 29th birthday and my 50th – we had a great deal to celebrate. We all count ourselves honored to have had Lilliana, Nanni, their daughter Francesca + Sylvia as our hosts. The arrangements started over one year in advance, and at every turn, they took care of every detail with loving care.
The properties themselves are gorgeous: the website and pictures do not do justice to the natural beauty and old world charm of the estate. The rooms are decorated comfortably yet in an old world fashion: one part of the house is over 400 years old! The pools and grounds are impeccable. We worried that having all of us under one roof might be uncomfortable (~30 of us) but the privacy in each apartments gave us room to be separate while letting us enjoy one another’s company.
Lilliana is an exceptional chef: her welcome meal was pronounced the best meal we had in all of Italy (several of our guests said it was the best meal of their life!). We enjoyed an exceptional tour of Siena a week prior to the Paoli, thanks to her introduction of an expert historical guide.
We hosted our daughter’s weddings on the grounds – photographer, flowers, local musicians, caterer, wine from the estate and an amazing cake (whose identify I still don’t know) all coupled with exquisite decorations… all done remotely via email, and all carefully selected by Silvia, Francesca and Lilliana. My sister said, “It was like a fairy-tale”. It was stunning, and we owe everything to these lovely women’s good taste.
I could not give a higher recommendation: we trusted them with one of the most important days in our family’s life. Our thanks to the gracious and hardworking Migone Family.
