We rented an apartment from Paola, the owner, months before our stay. The location is close to major highways, either north or south, but remote just the same. The villa sits on a hill with stupendous views of Tuscany. It is an incredible breath taking experience. The apartments are nicely decorated with regional decor and antique furniture. Coffee, bread, jams,... More

We chose La Poggiolaia as the venue for our intimate Italian wedding. It was the best decision we ever made. Both Paola, the gracious owner of the villa, and Sylvia, who was on site to attend to our every need, where the perfect hostesses and made our stay absolutely wonderful. We stayed for 10 days and were joined by our... More

We stayed in Capanna at La Poggiolaia from May 19 until June 2, 2012. It was the perfect time, with all the roses in bloom. The facilities are terrific, Silvia a marvelous help, the welcoming basket of goodies and wine a treat after a long night and day of traveling. Paola is a gracious host, the scenery extraordinary, and the... More

The beautifully groomed gardens were filled with roses and olive trees and... More

The buildings are also beautifully designed and furnished with elegance and style in keeping with the Italian country style (think of the royal hunting lodges...). Paola and Sylvie are... More

Prior to our vacation we had received a myriad of negative feedback regarding European travel. Needless to say we managed our expectations regarding all aspects. That said, both La Poggolia and its sister property Villa Il Pozzo were absolutely magnificent. The postcard scenary was matched in everyway by the warmth of the ownership and staff. The amenities and cleanliness exceeded... More

We just returned from our fourth visit to La Poggiolaia, staying in La Capanna. Its difficult to describe how beautiful the location is, the comfort of the accommodation and the friendliness of the people, including Paola the owner and Sylvi the manager. Its a great base for sightseeing, however we chose to spend most of our week enjoying the surrounds... More

La Poggiolaia is more beautiful than the photos. We felt like we were living a dream in the beautiful Tuscan countryside in our meticulously renovated farmhouse apartment surrounded by lovely landscaping. The hilltop location offers breathtaking vistas of rolling hills covered with vineyards, olive groves, cypress trees and hilltop villages. The towers of San Gimignano rise in the distance reflecting... More
