Why Roberto Terrone chose Castelnuovo Berardenga
Lovers of the countryside , my wife and I for many years were looking for a special place for a vacation home. In 1999 we had the good fortune to find and purchase La Casa del Poggio, this corner of paradise where we spend most of our spare time. Hoping to retire there someday, now we enjoy sharing with our guests what we consider a marvelous treat. The beautiful Villa Arceno wine and olive oil Estate is the setting of our villa where we feel at home, in peace and relaxation but also surrounded by the amazing Tuscan environment with its immense history, culture and traditions.

Beautiful villa with great location
The villa is just as pictured. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated as we were exhausted from a long day of travel upon arrival. The home was well appointed with a lovely and generous amount of house wine. Mid week cleaning was done although the linens were not refreshed. The house book was quite helpful. We enjoyed our time thoroughly and would recommend this stay to anyone. Our timing in mid spring was somewhat challenging in the area, but during the main season from May through September it would be perfect.
Best anniversary ever!
Thank you Roberto and Marina for the use of your beautiful home.
Grazie mille Natalie for the very nice review!
For some strange reason, the fresh towels were placed in the master bedroom on the lower floor and, if we had been informed we would have solved the problem right away.
But from your words we feel that your holiday has been memorable and we can wait to welcoming you again in the future with great pleasure!
Thanks, Marina and Roberto
Perfect holiday!
There are not enough appropriate words to describe how wonderful was our holiday in Casa del Poggio!
We spent 2 perfect weeks relaxing, sightseeing and above all appreciating cooking and eating in the excellent kitchen and magnificent terrace.
We selected Casa del Poggio because we wanted 3 bedrooms and baths, plenty of indoor and outdoor space for 3 couples, proximity to Siena and Florence and, we were very impressed with the positive reviews.
The bedrooms were roomy, all with independent external access, comfortable beds, and plenty of closet space.
The bathrooms were all very clean and updated.
The house itself is situated in the spectacular vineyards and olive groves of Villa Arceno Estate and we especially loved the privacy, the views and gorgeous starry skies that will take your breath away!
Marina, Roberto and manager Barbara are extraordinary hosts, always available and never intrusive, they go above and beyond to make you feel at home and helpful with all our requests: they will suggest the best to see, which restaurant to go, which chef to hire, which winery to visit and help with reservations
The housekeeper Sheri keeps the property immaculate and we very much appreciated the mid week cleaning and fresh towels.
Not to mention the bountiful welcome basket, wine and olive oil.. what a treat!
There are small beautiful medieval villages and lovely welcoming people close by, San Gusmè,Villa a Sesta, Montebenicchi with a number of outstanding restaurants.
The town of Castelnuovo Berardenga, is five minutes driving distance with grocery stores, pharmacy, bakeries, butchers, wineries, restaurants etc..
Thanks to the invaluable advice received before our arrival, we didn't miss Siena, Arezzo, Cortona,
Florence, Montalcino and San Gimignano without stress and long queues....
We will strongly recommend Casa del Poggio and definitely be back!
Frances, Mike & friends
Grazie mille Frances and Mike,
we are very impressed with your beautiful review! There are also no words to thank you enough and can't wait to have you back very soon! Marina and Roberto
True Tuscany Experience
Lovely Villa, great location. If you want to experience the true Tuscany this is the place to stay. Barbara welcomed us in the true Italian style even though we where a hour late, but with great humour. Villa well stocked to get you started for the first days or more. Owners Roberto and Marina tried many times to contact us upon our arrival to make sure everything was good but we where so busy exploring the region it took a few days to contact. Lovely experience, would recommend this villa to everyone.
Dear Wendy, Mike and Friends,
thank you so much for this lovely review. Whenever new guests arrive, we hope that they will appreciate our home and hospitality, the beauty of the Chianti countryside surrounding our house and the towns and villages that are so dear to us. We have felt, speaking to you, your excitement and enthusiasm of being part, even just for few days, of this little paradise! We hope to host you again very soon, grazie mille Marina and Roberto
Great property, location and amenities.
A very good family property or for a couple of families. The location is great to access all surrounding areas and the small town of San Gusme is a short walk to spend an afternoon.
Grazie mille Geoff ! It was a pleasure to host your group and to receive your valuable feedback. It will be a great satisfaction to have
you back soon! Marina and Roberto
We will return
Loved it.
We had high expectations going to Italy for the first time, and this property exceeded expectations.
Grazie mille Stuart, a few words but a great acknowledgment!
We want guests to feel the pleasure of living in a True Genuine Tuscan Country Villa and we try hard on the details of what we offer, It is very rewarding when guests notice all of it!
Yes, please come again, Marina and Roberto
Great Accommodations!
Lovely Villa with access to a pool. The location is great for day trips to many cities such as Siena, or Florence. Barbara (house manager) is absolutely fantastic and makes your stay comfortable. She is also available to help with any needs.
Thank you Jamie and thank you Angela!
It really is a big compliment when former guests recommend our home to friends and family and they enjoy it very much.
Thank you too the professionalism of our housekeeper Sherie and manager Barbara which do everything possible to make our guests feel at home.
We hope to see both families again soon!
