About
It is two generations since our family committed itself to truffles, at first as truffle hunters, then in a more organized and professional way, building a family-run agricultural business in order to improve and commercialize the sale of truffles. Our truffles are grown in Tuscany, which is well known around the world for its beautiful countryside as well as its wine and food products. Thanks to the truffle farming and the knowledge of the best truffle production areas, Villa Magna farm can guarantee the sale of fresh truffles all year long, with the possibility of organic certification, as well as a selection of conserved products. With the experience and professionalism earned through the years we have launched a new form of rural tourism, accompanying those who are interested in learning the secrets of truffle hunting to an expedition along with our dogs (Lula, Rambo, Luna, Dora); thus the tartufiturismo was born. You can share and enjoy with us an exclusive tour around the Arezzo, Siena, Florence hills hunting for truffle. Also, possibility to arrange a truffle tasting, a lunch or dinner in a local restaurant.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Unless you should happen to hate truffles or dogs, this is an experience worth every cent of it’s price!
We had a lovely morning together with Marco, his sister Elisa and the wonderful dogs Baloo and Maia. As we thought we were a bit off-season we didn’t really expect to find any truffles but figured we would like the experience anyway. That made it even more thrilling when the dogs actually started digging and we found 9 white truffles in two hours. Marco enthusiastically introduced us to the whole lifestyle of truffle hunting, sharing from his own experience and letting us do the last bit of “digging” under supervision (you need to be a licensed truffle hunter to dig for truffles in Italy).
To top it off, we were served a tasty four-course truffle lunch in a separate “Truffle House” on the property afterwards, with various bruschette, cheese, ham, homemade pasta and truffle omelettes. Their homemade truffle honey was so good we bought several jars of it. But more than anything else, we appreciated the friendly and warm hospitality and the family’s obvious dedication to their dogs and their trade. Do not miss this one!

What a wonderful, fun experience. So glad we did it. We picked it because we knew our two little kids would love doing anything with a dog. We thought we might be excited to see a dog find truffles. They loved it! Marco is an amazing host and guide. He kept the children and adults so interested and excited. Then we went back to their home base for a wonderful truffle lunch. Highly recommended for both kids and adults, especially adults who balk at spending an extra $15 in America for truffle addition at a restaurants here.

Elisa and Marco were incredibly friendly and right from the booking process made everything very easy, with great communication on the day as well. We had a beautiful walk through the woods with two of their gorgeous truffle dogs, in which time we found 9 truffles. The dogs ability to smell the truffles from a distance was amazing to witness and Marco shared his plentiful knowledge and answered all of our questions. There was a very generous amount and variety of truffle treats to try afterwards. We had the best day - finding truffles, learning lots and tasting lots too; cannot recommend the truffle tour and tasting (and the friendly family business behind it) highly enough.

Marco and his team made us (4) feel very welcome as did the dogs who were very friendly. Marco was informative and interesting. The surroundings were beautiful and the wooden truffle house is so cute, set on top of a hill over looking the Tuscany valley. During the hunt we were lucky to find many truffles in a peaceful cool woodland. The truffle food that was prepared for us was delicious and plentiful. The organic red wine from a nearby valley was superb. We couldn’t have been more impressed with the experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone.
We would have stayed for longer/overnight if it had been an option.

This is a long-overdue review since we went in September of 2019. Marco went above and beyond. He was just getting back from a vacation and we were trying to book a tour last-minute, which he had no problem with. Then we realized our car was towed when we were leaving to go truffle hunting. We felt stressed since our rental car was towed and felt awful that Marco was rushing home to set up our tour (we were the only two guests). We called Marco and he was so kind. We don't speak Italian so he helped us figure out how to get our car back, since we were tourists, and he even picked us up for our truffle tour! He drove 15 minutes to pick us up in his personal vehicle, gave an amazing tour, and then drove us back. He even stayed in-touch to make sure we were able to get our car back. What a great experience on so many levels.

As a group of friends we booked the truffle hunting tour with Marco in English.
After we selected two very cute dogs, they were not stoppable in searching for one truffle after the other.
Marco and his friend Filippo explained us many things about truffle, the dogs and the forest, which was very interesting. After the hunting we tried some delicious truffle snacks and wine.
I especially want to emphasize the easy and smooth arrangements and the perfect service: Because we did not have enough cars for all of us to get to the Villa, I asked Marco how to best get there. He offered us a ride with two cars to get to the farm. They also provided us a ride back to our apartment. This was very kind!
So I can highly recommend the truffle hunting experience!

We booked this experience in March with another couple. Marco was very responsive and good giving us information before the day. We met him and his apprentice at his house, met the dogs, and drove a short distance to the forrest.
Over the course of an hour the dogs did an incredible job unearthing white and black truffles. Marco gave us the history and details on truffle hunting in Italy.
We then went back to the separate cottage on the property and had an amazing lunch with local wine and were able to buy gifts. One of the highlights of our trip and would definitely recommend!

Truly the most memorable experience in all of Italy! This is a hidden gem. Elisa was an inviting and friendly hostess. Marco will take you on an authentic truffle hunt with his dogs and share bits of local history. Maia and Kathy showed off their personalities and truffle hunting skills. Milva prepared an indescribably delicious meal. The truffle pasta was better than any other food we’ve had so far in Italy. They made us feel like part of their family.

The Villa Magna Tartufi Agricultural Company is an excellence in the truffle sector. The quality of the products and the service offered is truly unique. If you are looking for excellent quality truffles and an unforgettable experience, Villa Magna is the ideal choice.
However, I recommend calling them first to find out the opening hours, they are often busy with the dogs in the woods!

This adventure was unexpected and amazing! Marco provided so much information on the history of truffle hunting, had a great sense of humor with a varied group of 16 and then provided an exceptional meal! The love and kindness shown within this family business was extended to their hunting dogs, pets and - luckily for us - their guests. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi - when are the tours offered? Is it seasonal? We will be there in early July, but I am not sure that is great truffle hunting time or not.

With my best regards,
