Probably the highlight of our 5 week vacation through Europe. We spent 5 wonderful days here relaxing by the pool and enjoying the commanding views. Camilla was a gracious and quick responding host. Would love to come back!

Come back soon, the autumn is my favorite season in Tuscany.
Just perfect. Hostess was very responsive before and during my trip with any questions I had. The property was immaculate and I will definitely be staying again. When you think of a Tuscan villa, this is exactly what it should be.

Thank you for your kind words.
It was a pleasure to have you with us and I really hope to welcome you back again soon
We absolutely loved this darling villa...the accommodations were all very comfortable and the views & sunsets were spectacular! It's about a 15 min drive from the village of Montalcino but also sits in the midst of several wineries worth visiting. Must have a vehicle to commute to town and the surrounding wineries but enjoying the setting & pool without going anywhere is also recommended ! Camilla is a terrific hostess

Thank YOU Gina for staying at Il Poggiarello and your kind words.
It was really lovely to have you both. Your comments on the distance, the views and just staying home enjoying the views and the pool are absolutely spot on!
Just did a 2 week trip In Italy and this was by far our favorite place to stay. Ready to go back already. Don’t think twice….JUST BOOK IT!

Thank you Carl for your kind words and thank you again for staying at Il Poggiarello, come back soon :-)
You and your family were perfect guests and Il Poggiarello in September is really one of the best periods of the whole year!
We had a wonderful stay and could not recommend this house enough. The location was perfect - close to Montalcino but still secluded - and the house was so charming and comfortable.
Thanks for an amazing time!
Views were spectacular, property as it looked on the website. Beautiful stone converted barn (I think), comfortable outdoor seeding and eating area to make use of the views. Kitchen was small but functional. Any problems were dealt with quickly by Camilla and her caretaker the efficient Romeo. Only drawback was the distance from Montalcino along narrow pot ridden lanes. Also the pool has no steps which makes it difficult to gracefully enter and exit. Thanks Camilla for making our stay a pleasant one.
Stunning views from a veranda and pool. The rooms, kitchen and interior is cozy and clean. Would recommend and absolutely return. Camilla was also a lovely and responsive host.
If you like a 360-degree view from the top of the hill, this is the place. Amazing views, out in the country with little traffic (more tractors than cars). Very private. We wanted to sit on the patio all day.The house is very comfortable and a good home base for sampling Brunello and visiting the Montalcino vineyards.Camilla was easy to communicate with before and during our stay.
What can we say??? Grazie Grazie Grazie! What an amazing week! Camilla went over the top in communication and even helped us arrange a special birthday dinner for my husband with a local cook at the villa ! The pool was fabulous and the air conditioning much appreciated in both bedrooms. Kitchen was perfect. We sat outside on the beautiful patio every night and played games and drank Italian wine. The view is to die for! It was so hard to leave. The book Camilla left in the villa had great ideas for our visit and we went to a couple. Wish we could have stayed a month!

Thank you so much Jean for your words!
You are too kind, it is really important for my guests to have a beautiful holiday and enjoy the magic of Il Poggiarello.
Thank you for staying with us and it was a pleasure to arrange for you a memorable birthday party with a personal chef at home !
Come back soon, it's a pleasure to have lovely guests like you and your family
We wanted to enjoy the Tuscany area and this house checked all the boxes for us. The photos can’t actually capture the true beauty of this place. The host, Camilla was so gracious and kind. Comfortable bed, kitchen well stocked with the dishes we needed. Full size refrigerator was nice too! It’s a little bit of a drive to the property but oh so worth it!

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, communication
beautiful natural setting, poor conditions
The property is located in a beautiful natural setting with breathtaking views, providing an authentic Tuscan experience. However, the house is modest and not well equipped. The pool was extremely filthy during our stay, and Camilla denied the evidence, and in addition was arrogant, which badly affected our overall experience.

What an unpleasant experience! These guests booked at the last minute and stayed for 2 days (I even reduced the minimum stay to accommodate their request).
In the days before their arrival, the weather had been terrible—it rained a lot and was very windy. As a result, the pool water was a bit cloudy. I apologized to the guests and called the pool maintenance service both on the day of their arrival and during the only full day of their stay.
I found their reaction completely excessive—especially their request for financial compensation for the inconvenience, and the threat of a negative review.
On top of that, they left the house in a terrible state, with food scraps on the floor and dirty dishes left everywhere.
I hope anyone reading their review also considers all the other guest reviews we’ve received since 2013 at Il Poggiarello and forms their own opinion.
Beautiful sweeping hilltop views from this charming villa for sunrise and sunset. We enjoyed the full kitchen and option to cook in and enjoy the pergola and pool! If you stay here be sure to pin your location as it’s easy for GPS to get confused and the Villa is about 15 minutes from the town of Montalcino.
Very beautiful and quiet location. The surrounding landscape and views are stunning. Our group of four adults had plenty of room in house and outside patio.
The pool with surrounding olive groove was so relaxing.
Short drive to many Vineyards and Montalcino.
Would very much recommend this anyone looking for a relaxing Tuscan visit.

Thank you so much Ray for your kind words.
It is always a pleasure when my guests enjoy their stay at Il Poggiarello and live its magic! I hope you will come back soon.
Stunning stay in a gorgeous, peaceful, one-in-lifetime setting. The private pool and surrounding views were unmatched, and the cottage is perfectly appointed, well supplied, tastefully decorated, cozy, and relaxing. The property manager went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed, and her recommendations were top-notch. We will most certainly be back. You can’t miss a stay at this luxury property on your next visit to the Montalcino/Montepulciano area!
We stayed here for 9 days with our family including three children, ages 6, 3, and 1.5, and it was perfect. We had just enough room to spread out and the kids adored the patio and pool. My husband and I took in the views after bedtime while enjoying a last glass of wine by the pool. The house had everything we needed and Camilla went above and beyond as our host. We saw so much of Tuscany, but the views from the house were some of the best. What a magical spot!!

Thank you so much for your kind words.
You and your family were perfect guests!
Il Poggiarello has indeed a fantastic position for visiting many amazing locations in Tuscany but then once back it's perfect to unwind and enjoy.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It’s a very reasonable drive to Montalcino - about 20 minutes - with similar drives to great wineries large and small. We definitely took advantage of the food and wine the area offers, both at restaurants and with some fabulous local steaks grilled on the poolside BBQ. Whether you plan on spending the day lounging by the pool and enjoying the beautiful scenery or exploring the area, Il Poggiarello is a wonderful place to stay.

Lovely villa with stunning views
Il Poggiarello is in the most stunning setting with wonderful views over the surrounding countryside. We had a great week here - loved the villa, terrace and the pool. We did not meet Camilla herself but her mother was very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed exploring the towns and villages nearby - this part of Tuscany is so beautiful. Would definitely recommend this property and hope to return some day!

About the host
Hosted by Mrs Camilla
My name is Camilla and I live in Rome after many years spent abroad. I am a manager and a mother so I am always running around ... but I love my country house in Montalcino. It is my escape from the hectic life and its magic, peace and beauty recharges me from everyday life!
Why they chose this property
I saw the property and I simply fell in love with it amd I decided that it had to be my buen retiro. Only those who have lived it can understand its magic. Having travelled a lot in my life, I have seen many amazing places, but for me Il Poggiarello is the most amazing.
What makes this property unique
The position is unique. Il Poggiarello is on the top a hill and the view you can get from every angle is breathless. The house is cozy, warm, elegant but not pretentious, charming and modern at the same time. Most importantly, you will feel that you are in a real home, no other guests around you, just you, your family and friends..
