We loved the seclusion of the property and enjoyed day trips to Arezzo, Cortona, Montevarchi and on the last day an ascent of the Pratomagno massif.
The host was was very helpful and the villa was wonderfully equipped.

It was a pleasure to have you as next-door neighbours, and I am impressed with your intrepid ascent to the Pratomagno on the last day (what a glorious day that was, could you see the Mediterranean in the distance?). I am so glad you enjoyed your days here in the Valdarno. You certainly took good advantage of the Casa Colonica being ideally situated for day trips :-)

Perfect for us!
Possibly best equipped holiday rental we've been to! Great location in countryside with wonderful views , yet very easy access to civilisation , Autostrada and railway station - Florence 40 mins by train!
Sara is a great host helpful when needed and a mine of local information. In all we would heartily recommend it as a Tuscan base.

Perfect vacation for us
Very kind hosts provided a nice and warm welcome. Both are always approachable and very helpful. Appartement/House perfectly matches expectations. Big garden with lots of shades, fantastic evening views. 100 % quiet day and night. A great starting point for city tours, food and wine available in the neighborhood. We plan to come again!

Beautiful villa very well appointed and stock in good location.
My wife and I stayed in the Villa for 8 nights as we toured the villages of Tuscany. The Villa is in a great location with beautiful views allowing day trips by car to villages in the Tuscany Region. Sara our host was wonderful joining us one evening for aperto and providing information regarding villages, places of interest and restaurants. The villas is very well stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the villa so much we ate dinner there most evenings. If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan Villa experience in a good location this is the villa to rent.

Beautiful house and view, and particularly nice people.
We had a wonderful time, in the charming house of Sara and Allen. The view from the house is just magic. It is well located for visiting Tuscany, in a quiet place but nearby wonderful cities. The beautiful house is equipped with all comforts (including mosquito nets) and can stay nice and cool when it gets hot outside.
Sara and Allen are particularly nice people! They are very hospitable and friendly!
We can't but warmly recommend this accommodation!

A serene and peaceful retreat in the Tuscan hills
With stunning views over hills and valleys in central Tuscany this wonderful villa surpassed our expectations. Our hosts Sara and Allen were very pleasant and helpful with advice on local restaurants,activities,walks,transport to all those wonderful Tuscan Towns and Cities. To be able to visit the attractions of Florence,Siena.Arrezzo,etc,etc for the day and be back in the serenity of this quite cool and well appointed villa in the evenings to watch a spectacular sunset with a glass of wine are lifelong memories.We have no hesitation in recommending this Villa to prospective visitors. We will be back!

Thank you for being so appreciative of the house, il Poggiolo and the location. You have traveled a lot and thus your opinion carries a lot of weight! So glad you managed to have lunch in San Giovanni while you were here, and an ice-cream in Loro Ciuffenna. We look forward to your coming back, you were perfect guests.

What a great house and lo...
What a great house and location! The house was larger than we expected and had beautiful panoramic views. We did several short day trips to the villages of Siena, Cortona, Orvieta and Florence. We also took in a couple of wineries in the area. The house was fully furnished with everything we needed. We even had a lovely dinner party for 12 the second night with our friends who were staying at the other house on the same property (the Fienile). There were enough table settings, linen, wine glasses,etc. for everyone. The local ipercoop had a great selection of meat,pasta, breads,etc. I highly recommend the Casa Colonica to anyone who is interested in visiting Tuscany and the surrounding area. Good friends, food, and a great Italian vacation.
Ciao,
Annette & Marc McKinnies

It was a pleasure to have you, and to make it possible for you to have a vacation with a large group of friends. Glad you liked the "hyper-coop." It is a zoo on Saturdays, but a fun place to shop the rest of the week. All best, Sara

Great home base for Tuscany
From our base at Casa Colonica we were able to visit conveniently a number of marvelous Tuscan villages and towns, make road trips through the magical Tuscan countryside, drive out to al fresco restaurants overlooking vineyards, and enjoy a roomy, comfortable and cool (boy was it hot in Italy during our stay) place to stay. Enthusiastic Sara was very helpful in recommending in person and through her highlighted books and maps many possible pleasing destinations for our daily trips. We visited several of her favorites, and agreed with her evaluations for Arrezo, Lucignano, Gelateria Carabe', and others. While the closest towns, Levane and Bucine, lack charm they do have all the amenities a traveler requires, and we made use of the pasticceria in Bucine every day. Getting free still and sparkling water in Levane was fun and economical, so thanks for the tip, and the bottles, Sara. With the heat we found the need for rest cropped up more frequently than it did in our younger days, and Casa Colonica gave us the respite we longed for in a peaceful, bucolic setting on a hill with lovely views of the Tuscan countryside.

As I sit remembering our ...
As I sit remembering our amazing stay in Tuscany one thing comes to mind tranquility! Now this is coming from the mother of an 8 yr old and 11 yr old that depend on the modern convenience of technology to entertain their senses (sad, but true). My husband and I couldn't have been more pleases by the absolute asthetic beauty of the villa...lovely linens throughout, soft and comfortable beds, enourmous bathroom, elegantly stocked kitchen and a view that could absolutely overload the senses. The owners make every effort to make your stay an absolute pleasure, but truely the atmosphere takes care of that for itself. The location is convenient for day trips even with young children that don't do well in the car. We "accidentally" decided to go to Pisa and what a delight! You can't go wrong here...if adults traveling alone (amazingly romantic and quiet even with other quests we heard nothing but the morning birds) and children can live out every fantasy while still being in touch (technologically...if necessary, but I really doubt it!). I've never written a review before, but felt that our stay truely warranted praise for the owners attention to detail, the lovely villages kind and amazing citizens and the countrysides tranquil and peaceful beauty.

I had the most incredible stay at the Il Poggiolo Tuscany property! Sara, Allen and daughter Kyra are the epitome of gracious hosts, and their warm welcome truly made my trip unforgettable.
From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning views that surround this picturesque villa. The beauty of the Tuscan landscape is simply unparalleled, and it was a privilege to wake up to such a breathtaking sight each morning.
The villa itself is not only impeccably clean but also steeped in culture and history. Every corner seemed to tell a story, and I felt like I was living in a piece of Italian heritage. It was like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts one could wish for. What really stood out was Sara’s thoughtful attention to detail. Her meticulously prepared binder was a treasure trove of insider tips, recommended places to visit, and a wealth of resources that went above and beyond any other accommodation I’ve experienced. It was like having a personal tour guide right at my fingertips!! I explored hidden gems and local spots that I would never have discovered without their recommendations.
This property offers a true taste of the Tuscany region. The authenticity and genuine warmth of my hosts made me feel like I was part of the local community. Their passion for sharing their piece of paradise with guests shines through in every interaction.
If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan experience, look no further than Il Poggiolo. Sara, Allen and
Michelle

A Fantastic Tuscan Vacation
Casa Colonica was everything my wife and I fantasized about for a vacation to Tuscany.It is ideally situated for day jaunts to innumerable beautiful and historic towns and villages. Florence is only 40 min by car (a must for this area) or a train from the nearby town of Montevarchi.
The apartment is on two floors in a large yellow house on top of a secluded Tuscan hill with beautiful views down to the countryside. My favorite view from inside the house was looking out of a small iron-grated window halfway down the stairs from the bedrooms. The window frames a typical Tuscan prospective of steep hills and a small vineyard and hill-top castle. It is reminded me of a Renaissance painting.
The thick walls and high ceilings kept the rooms cool as long as the shutters were closed during the day to block the sun. While there was no air conditioning and the weather was unusually hot for June, we slept well on very comfortable beds with cool cross breezes helped by floor fans in each room. The ample sized rooms are uncluttered and beautifully furnished with solid, well-crafted cabinets and furniture. The kitchen is large with a gas stove and very well stocked for cooking. The appliances were in excellent shape. (Although with the abundance of delicious and reasonably priced restaurants in the towns and villages nearby, we did little cooking other than simple breakfasts). Water-pressure is very good and plenty of hot water.
Sara our host and her husband Allen were very friendly, informative and accommodating, helpful but in no way intrusive. Sara is an American who has lived in Italy for many years and Allen is a native Florentine who speaks flawless English.
The rental cost, we felt, was very reasonable considering the quality of the accommodations. With the favorable Euro/dollar exchange when we went, it was a bargain. Overall Casa Colonica was the ideal house for an ideal vacation and we look forward to returning.

Thank you for your kind words. The Casa Colonica at il Poggiolo Tuscany is, in fact, part of ah historic farmhouse turned villa, and the property was chosen for its 360°views :-) I am so glad you appreciated the aesthetics of the accommodation, and the traditional furniture. We are happy to provide a REAL home away from home for our guests. The local restaurants and eateries are also a bonus, and it certainly makes travel all the more easier if you can stop off for a pizza after a busy day of sightseeing. You enjoyed many of the things Tuscany has to offer, and we look forward to welcoming you back!
All best, Sara

Genauso wollten wir in der Toskana Ferien erleben
Alles hat wirklich reibungslos geklappt, die Anreise war durch die Standortbeschreibung problemlos möglich.
Vor Ort hat nichts gefehlt.
Ein Haus mit ganz viel Atmosphäre.
Man geht einfach aus dem Haus und genießt die Landschaft.
Rings herum gibt’s so viele Städte, die man als Tagesausflug besuchen kann.
Herrlich.
Würde wieder her kommen.

Peaceful week in Tuscan paradise
We loved our stay at Il PoggioloTuscany! The Villa was perfectly appointed, the setting beautiful and the hosts Sara and Allen warm and hospitable. It is within 30 - 60 minute’s drive to almost anything you would want to see in Tuscany, and at the end of a touring day the villa was the perfect landing spot.
