Six-bedroom villas for celebrations and reunions

Six bedrooms give room for around twelve people, which makes these villas a natural choice for big birthdays, anniversaries, family reunions and holidays with three generations together. Many are historic farmhouses or country estates, with large gardens, outdoor dining areas and space for everyone to find a quiet corner.

How larger villas are arranged

In a villa this size the bedrooms are often spread over two or three floors, or split between a main house and a separate annex or cottage. Ask how many rooms are doubles and how many are twins, which have their own bathroom, and which are on the ground floor if anyone struggles with stairs.

Check that the dining table seats everyone, indoors and out, and that the kitchen is large enough for group cooking. In summer, ask which bedrooms have air conditioning, as it is not always fitted throughout.

Some estates have other guests staying in separate apartments, so confirm whether you will have the whole property to yourselves. If you are planning a party, ask about any rules on extra guests, music and late nights before you book.

With young children in the group, ask whether the pool is fenced or gated, as pool fencing is not a given at Italian villas.

Where to look

Tuscany has some of the best-known country estates, among the vineyards of Chianti and the hills around Montepulciano and Cortona, with Florence and Siena close enough for days out. In Umbria, large stone farmhouses sit in quieter countryside near Assisi, Perugia and Todi.

Puglia's masserie, the fortified farmhouses of the south, often have the courtyards and outdoor space that suit a big group.
