Thank you so much for your lovely words. I’m truly happy to know that Il Poggiarello lived up to your expectations and that you enjoyed its views as much as we do. It was a pleasure having you as our guests, and I hope you’ll come back one day!
the property was as pictured and very clean and beautiful. A bit remote, but that is what we were looking for and the way it is if you want to be “out amongst the vineyards” The weather was gorgeous and we were fortunate to be at the house just as the wisteria was coming into full bloom.

Thanks for your words, it was a pleasure to have you and your family.
Happy you had a good time and enjoyed Il Poggiarello, at the beginning of the Spring season with all the flowers blossoming it is simply fabulous!
What a beautiful home and spectacular views! Great to just hang at the house and easy to get to Montalcino too. Camilla, our host and Romeo, the caretaker were so responsive when needed. Highly recommende this home. Like being in a movie
This villa was just wonderful! It was like stepping back in time, it had a lot off old world character. We spent most of our time out on the veranda under the lovely shaded pergola and at the pool. The views are amazing. Coffee in the morning wine at night. After time in Rome, 7 days on a Mediterranean cruise, Venice then Florence this was the perfect end to our trip. So relaxing Wish we would have planned a couple of more days here. Camilla was always responsive to any questions we had.
This was our second stay at Il Poggiarello, and it certainly will not be our last. We cannot wait to return. We had an amazing time relaxing by the pool, grilling steaks under the stars in the evening, going on runs in the early mornings. However, the extra special aspect of this place is the tranquility. I know lots of other places will say that - but there wasn't a plane in the sky and the only traffic we could hear was a passing tractor for the grape harvest. We could sit and admire the views across the olive groves and vineyards whilst sipping a cool beverage, reading, chatting, swimming, cooking and relaxing.After the first day my wife asked if I felt relaxed - I used the word "Healed" - it's amazing. Everyone should experience this place at least once!The proximity to Montalcino allows you to pop into town for wine (Bruno Dalmazio), steaks (A&G Macelleria) and the COOP has everything else. There's plenty to see and do if you want to leave the villa, we did a wine tasting at Altesino (one of our favourites) - in the past we've visited the churches and museums - but this time we spent the time relaxing.This really is a slice of heaven on earth - we shall be back again (and soon)Camilla is a super-attentive host, we didn't have any issues - but she was always available.

Thank you so much for such a wonderful and heartfelt review. It means even more knowing that this was your second stay at Il Poggiarello — and that you are already planning your next visit!
Your words about the tranquility of the place and, in particular, your description of feeling “healed”, truly touched me. This is exactly what we hope Il Poggiarello can offer: a place to slow down, breathe, enjoy the beauty of the landscape and simply be. Knowing that you felt this way during your stay is incredibly rewarding.
It was a real pleasure to welcome you back, and I’m delighted that you enjoyed everything from the early morning runs and evenings under the stars to the wine, food and little trips around Montalcino. Sometimes, though, the best thing to do in this part of Tuscany is simply… nothing!
Thank you also for your very kind words about me as a host. I hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you both back very soon. Il Poggiarello will be here, waiting for you — your little slice of heaven in Tuscany. ❤️
What a lovely place, I will recommend this fabulous home to friends and family and will be returning sometime soon.

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!
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!

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.

Blake, you just made my day! Come back anytime — the countryside and Il Poggiarello miss you already. Next time, we’ll keep the porch light on for you! 🌟🇮🇹
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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.

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..
