As the cold of winter starts to get old and you crave connection and getting out of the house, the Marriott Ranch becomes the perfect place to escape and be seemingly transported to Tuscany for the weekend.
This may not be a Tuscan villa, but the charming mansion and inviting farmhouse offer a similar, communal experience that our guests cherish in our Tuscany villas. Spend cozy evenings in your private guest room or by the outdoor fire pit, sip award-winning wines paired perfectly with Italian delicacies, enjoy tasting the unique flavors of Italian olive oil, and imagine yourself in Tuscany through the stories told by our special Italian guests.
Each day you are immersed in experiences led by real Italians who live locally and are passionate about sharing their culture, traditions, and culinary delights with you. Every moment is designed to deepen your connection to Italy.
Come sip, savor, stay, and explore as you relax in the beautiful Virginia countryside. We welcome couples, friends and families to join us as we make memories together. Guests must be 21 and older.
The Marriott Ranch is a hidden gem in Virginia that we discovered a few years ago and we can’t wait to share it with you. Between the Manor House, Farm House, and Carriage House, there are 12 well-appointed bedrooms, some with king beds and some with 2 double beds, all with beautiful views of the countryside, ensuite bathrooms, tasteful decor, beautiful furniture, comfortable beds, and high-quality bedding.
You will be pampered with the warm hospitality of the staff and your retreat host.

I create intimate, villa-based journeys designed to help women reconnect with themselves through transformational travel. Our small groups (8–14 guests) allow for genuine connection with each other and the immersive experiences that we thoughtfully curate.
