Villa Leone Reale - with Private Pickleball Court

We were two families, 9 people in total.
During the process of booking Sofia, the manager, was very helpful. Even though she is Italian, she speaks and writes in German like a native.
The villa and its surroundings were renovated in early 2025. The pool area is a real jewel! During our stay (October 2025) the temperatures during the day were always between around 23 and 25 degrees. Nighttime got a bit chilly but inside the house it was cozy and warm. Fortunately the pool stayed open! We checked out many other housings prior to booking the villa which close their pools on Sept. 30. The pool of Villa Leone Reale isn't heated but we jumped in a few times and enjoyed it very much.
Entering the villa, we were in awe how spacious everything is. All the rooms were clean, traditionally furnished (at least how we imagine the traditional style looks like) and nicely decorated. The kitchen is very well equipped.
All of us, especially the kids, loved the pickle ball court and it is great that all the equipment was ready to use (basketball, pickle ball bats and balls, table tennis balls and bats, water pistols).
The location of the villa is great! Close to the beach (we loved Spiaggia Marina di Cecina, ca. 15 min by car), close to Florence (1h15 by car to a parking lot right at the train station and then 20 mins by train right in the city centre) and even closer to Pisa (ca. 45 mins to the parking lot in Via Alberto Paparelli and then 20 mins by foot to the leaning tower), close to Conad grocery store (5 mins).
The kids loved our trip to "Cavallino Matto" (15 mins) an amusement park and also to "Giardino sospeso" a rope park (5 mins).
We loved every minute of our stay in and around Villa Leone Reale and if we are ever returning to Tuscany we would love to stay there again.

Our home away from home

What a wonderful place. We have an annual family get together and have been looking for a place like this for a while. The pickleball court was the decider but Sofia made us so welcome and the abundant supplies on arrival were unusual and most welcome. The weather was not always in our favour which limited the use of the pool but we hope to be back many times to enjoy all the facilities. The absence of TVs was unexpected but Sofia said we could have one if required. However, in all honesty we didn't miss it at all. We played endless games, went out exploring, chatted, pickleballed, sat in the sun, drank wine and read. Perfect.

Pickleball!

We had an incredible stay at the villa in Tuscany! The pool was absolutely perfect for relaxing and enjoying the sunshine, and we loved playing games at the pickleball court! It added so much fun to our days. The welcome package was unique and thoughtful, something we've never experienced before. We also appreciated how peaceful and private the property is surrounded by the winefields. This has to rate as one of our best holidays ever. Sofia was a fantastic hostess: warm, attentive, and full of great tips for local restaurants, which made our culinary experiences unforgettable. We can't recommend this villa enough and would love to return!

Memorable Vacation

We spent a week's vacation at this great house with 8 nieces and nephews aged 7–16. Everything was as described, except for the hot tub. The perfect spot for teens, with no TV but plenty of opportunities for games indoors and outdoors. Sofia was very helpful to us, providing tips for good restaurants and the fastest possible support. The pool, pickleball, and water guns were highlights, even though the season was just starting and it was still rather chilly. There are great restaurants nearby. Various beaches can also be reached in a short time. The beautiful pine forests and the avenue leading to Cecina Mare are impressive. We enjoyed the stay completely. The outdoor seating areas are wonderfully located. You can be flexible with the evening, noon, and morning sun. The place is very clean and comfortable, and also has various islands. The kitchen is well equipped. Various dishes, decor, and essentials like salt, oil, etc., are provided. Thanks, Sofia 🤍

Very grateful - nice time!

We had such a wonderful stay at the villa! The location is stunning, and relaxing in the jacuzzi with a sea view was unforgettable. We even tried pickleball for the very first time — and absolutely loved it, even as beginners. The olive tour right across from the villa was another highlight, giving us a glimpse into the local traditions. Sofia was an amazing host, always ready with great tips about the best beaches and restaurants, and helping us make reservations. The villa itself is magnificent: beautifully decorated, with an authentic historic charm combined with all the modern comforts. We truly loved every moment here and can't wait to come back!
