Valdera is a Luxury Italian villa for 12 with a fenced swimming pool, full air-conditioning and all rooms en-suite close to Pisa, Tuscany.

A nearby restaurant makes this a wonderfully relaxing and elegant Villa holiday. Private chef also available.

Endless views over the Tuscan hills have inspired entire novels. On the edge of the hamlet of Iano the owner has created an oasis of calm and tranquillity, with views that go on forever over the valley looking toward the Etruscan stronghold of Volterra.

We really enjoyed our stay and will likely return in the future. Great accommodation with nice private pool, next to a small village with good traditional restaurant (no pizza). The Pool is not really overlooked and has an open outlook, only slightly spoilt by a pylon. Views from the Villa were great, looking all the way to Volterra in the distance. The accommodation worked really well for us as a party of 6, but we left 3 rooms unused on this trip. It would work for a party of 12, (with 2 twin rooms for kids). The villa has one large living area with semi screened kitchen, large dining, and comfortable living space. This opens to a terrace with lounge seating and dining area which looks to the sunset. The bedrooms all had plenty of space and good bathrooms. The two doubles on a lower level were cooler compared to the one on the upper floor which would need the AC on a hotter month. There is a high roof terrace for long distant viewing accessed from one of the bedrooms. The customer service was great from Chinzia who lives nearby and sorted minor issues quickly. We have stayed in many Tuscan Villas over the last 19 years and all agree we would highly recommend this one for families who want a central location to all the historic sites, amenities close by that allow traditional dinner (without driving), and a nice private pool for relaxation.

The property was exactly what is advertised. It provided six excellently appointed bedrooms and comfortable bathrooms. The dining options inside and outside provided a setting for memorable lunches and dinners with stupendous views. The kitchen was adequately equipped to provided us with an assortment of meals that extended long past sunset. The pool and grounds were immaculately maintained. The little village of Iano provided an outlet for dinners, coffees, emergency supplies of wine and a departure and destination point for walks into the Tuscan countryside. The site provided stupendous sunset views across the Tuscan fields and hills. Famous towns like Volterra and San Gimignano proved to be only about 30 min away. The routes were studded with wine tasting opportunities. Supplies of food and drink were available from the local town of Montaione. The support by the owners and the team at Invitation to Tuscany was always immediate thoughtful and informative. We spent an incredible week that met all our expectations.

We stayed at Valdera for a family celebration and had a wonderful time. Nothing was too much trouble for Cinzia the owner who was delightful.
The villa is well equipped and in a beautiful setting.
The local village shop is great for basic supplies, coffees and pastries. And the local restaurant is GREAT
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND A STAY HERE

We had brilliant week at Villa Valdera. Laura was extremely helpful before we left in organising a walking tour of Florence and advising on the best way to get there. She also booked a couple of meals for us in the villa. The first of these meals was not quite what we had hoped for so Laura was very happy to cancel the remaining meals for us. The villa was very clean, well equipped and in the perfect location. The many outside spaces were used by all and allowed privacy for all of our travelling group. We loved the views, close by restaurants and coffee shop. A hire car is a must to explore this beautiful area. Thank you for a wonderful week.

Excellent location. Great pool.
Kitchen equipment rather dated apart from washing machine which appeared fairly new. Some quirky furnishing which added to charm. Air-con inadequate to 40 degree heat but provided some relief
A comfortable villa with stunning views.

Lovely villa which we thoroughly enjoyed and can not fault at all! The location was fantastic, and the shop/cafe up the road was incredible - every day for perfect ice cream and coffee!
We did really miss having a tour of the villa, and there was no cleaning facilities like a dustpan and brush, enough bin bags, basic kitchen cleaning equipment - with a baby it was needed! There should have been changing of towels during the week, but we didn't have this either - so that was a bit of a disappointment.

Our family of 7 had the chance to stay in this villa for a week and had a wonderful time. The villa is spacious and well stocked in the kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the ample outside seating is picturesque. The owner of the the villa lives just a few minutes away and she was always available to answer and questions and assist when necessary. Villa is in a great location to explore Tuscany.

The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful villa and surroundings. Everything is well maintained, and comfortable for all guests with en suite bathtooms. The owner is charming and easily accessible for questions or help. Walking distance to a small shop for fresh meats/cheeses/fruit etc and a small restaurant. 35 minutes drive to San Gimignano, 1 hour to Siena and take the train from Empoli station (40 minutes) for a stress free journey to florence. It was perfect.
