About the host
Hosted by Gretchen Romig
I grew up in Kansas and met Luigi when the bank I worked for transferred me to Milan. The Poggio Verde properties have been in Luigi's family for generations. We used it a lot when our children were young but now that they are living abroad we are pleased that others might share and enjoy this beautiful place.
We have been hosting at Poggio Verde Country Villa (https://www.vrbo.com/en-gb/p3762119) for several years, with a consistent five star satisfaction level from our guests. We have recently refurbished to an excellent standard this smaller space.
Why they chose this property
Less than an hour from Milan yet immersed on a quiet green hill, this 18th c. historic building and surrounding grounds give visitors the pleasure of enjoying all the riches of the northern Italian countryside and cuisine, including a Michelin starred restaurant and several micro farm producers in the neighborhood, while at the same time giving easy access to the myriad of cultural riches of Milan and the towns of Bergamo, Lecco and Como, just to name a few. Biking along the Adda river in a charming state park is just 30 minutes away, the same distance as one of Italy's top golf courses where 4 Italian Opens have been held since 2015. Walkers and mountain climbers need drive only 40 minutes to reach the Italian Alps, and a luxury Spa treatment is merely 10 minutes away. Adorable hilltowns and lakes dot the area. Monza's royal treasure, including the iron crown with which Napoleone famously crowned himself, is right in our neighbourhood.
What makes this property unique
At Poggio Verde, when you’re not out enjoying the sports and cultural offerings in our neighborhood, you can simply stay home in our cozy historic surroundings and relax in our lovely park, take a swim in the shared pool, challenge fellow travellers to croquet or badminton or enjoy a book in the charming Roccolo surrounded by trees. The house features air conditioning and internet throughout.
Our families history in Poggio Verde begins with a deed dated November 1897 in which our great uncle Carlo Bondonio became the owner of Poggio Verde 'Green Hill', an 8-hectare property consisting of a farmhouse, a house with a barn, and a country house. The date of construction of the country house is uncertain but parts of the old farmhouse likely date from the 1500s. Photos from the early 1900s show that Poggio Verde was similar to its current appearance, but surrounded by oak forests and with a few cultivated fields.
