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 :-)

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!

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!

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,

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

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!

A Tuscan Treasure
This is an extraordinarily welcoming villa with a splendid view of gardens, mountains, vineyards and olive groves. The house is very comfortably furnished and beautifully decorated. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We were greeted with a basket filled with coffee, tea, wine and snacks as well as an ample supply of bottled water. We had several quite warm days during our two week stay but the house, which has very thick walls, provided a pleasant and cool environment throughout even without using the air conditioning. Sara was an extremely gracious host. She offered great suggestions for shopping, dining and touring as well as helping us to set up our Covid tests with the local pharmacy prior to returning to the US. During our stay we made several day trips in the region, took lovely walks directly from the property and relaxed to the wonderful views.

Okay, we did leave a few times to visit the thermal baths, the lovely Siena, and the nearby Montevarchi, Levane and Bucine -- it's very easy to park the car in Montevarchi and hop on the train to some of the nearby cities if you don't want to do a lot of driving! At the end of the day, this was such a wonderful and peaceful place to come home to. Everything was set up perfectly and furnished so nicely - the kitchen has everything you need to cook, and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor space for dining. We also had to do a bit of work, and wifi was good for email and Zoom calls! Our host was wonderful and kind from the moment I booked the place. She had excellent recommendations, and made us welcome, comfortable and at home. This was an amazing stay, and I would 100% recommend to family and friends - I am counting the days until I can return! I am in Florence now, which is wonderful, but I have to say, I am missing the peacefulness and the beauty of the Tuscan hills!

A perfect base to explore and discover Tuscany
Sara provided a carefree holidayhome. The house was very well equipped. Sara literally thought of everything you will need and beyond that. We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful authentic tuscan house. A real atmospheric house, with a large garden and a nice view over the hills. There are also lots of books with a wealth of information about Tuscany and things to do. Sara was very friendly and helpful. Thank you for an unforgettable time in Tuscany.

The owner’s are as awesome as the place!
The house had everything you could possibly need with a welcome basket to get you started. It had a feeling of a “home” rather than a house. The owners are great too. Sad to leave. S & T from CA

Off The Beaten Path
This was our third visit to Il Poggiolo which continued to make us feel at home in the beautiful hills of Tuscany. Sara and Allen are warm and welcoming hosts--the house is very comfortable and well equipped--a lovely basket of Italian goodies was waiting for us when we arrived--we loved eating dinner outdoors where we had a great view of the countryside at sunset. There are a lot of beautiful villages to visit and cultural sites to explore.

Dear both of you, it was lovely to have you return to il Poggiolo Tuscany once again, you are now honorary citizens of this wee hilltop hamlet! What fun also that you went to Duddova for lunch at the alimentari, that is truly a local (secret) destination. We enjoyed having you just fit back in as our neighbors - the time flew - and we do hope to see you back in Europe many times again (those grandchildren permitting!). Very best regards from us both :-)

Bliss in Tuscany
My wife I enjoyed 5 glorious nights in the heart of Tuscany in August 2015. Some highlights for us:
1. The tomatoes, grapes, apples, peaches and pears were all in peak season
2. We were about an hour away from everywhere we wanted to go (Siena, Florence) but on a couple of the days we didn't go anywhere - we just wanted to be quiet and relaxed
3. We ran all through the countryside on dirt roads, up to a tower, through vineyards, it was nothing short of magical
4. Sara and Allen were welcoming and incredible: a stocked kitchen awaited us, linens that smelled like they had been dried in a summer breeze, the house spotless
5. There was a great community library that we took advantage of in the house and a bunch of board games too
6. The local grocery store was huge and had fantastic selections so we didn't eat out except for once during our 6 days - we chose to go "home" and eat there
It was everything we hoped that Tuscany would be. Added bonus: even though it was high 30's outside the house stayed cool and breeze without air conditioning.

Dear JD and KD, I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay in the Casa Colonica to the extent that you stayed an extra day .... and saw the Palio in Siena! Thank you for pointing out how the thick walls of the house keep it delightfully cool even during a heat wave - you have to experience it to believe it. Wonderful also that you ran the dirt roads that stretch from the house to the Chianti hills, in the early morning and evenings the landscapes are at their best. Come back for another Palio! All best, SMG

La dolce vita!!!
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’accueil et le grand sens de l’hospitalité de Sara et Allan. Ce sont des hôtes disponibles et avec plein de petites attentions (beau panier d’accueil, invitation à un 5 à 7 à leur domicile et à se joindre à une fête de village). Nous avons trouvé fort intéressant d’échanger avec eux. Ils ont su nous faire partager leur passion de l’histoire et de la culture italienne.
La Casa Colonica , où nous avons séjourné, est une vielle maison de campagne qui a été restaurée. Elle est spacieuse, bien entretenue et très confortable. La cuisine est particulièrement bien équipée. Elle est située entre les montagnes des Apennins et celles du Chianti. Le paysage extérieur est enchanteur. Les couchers de soleil sont superbes. En dépit de l’absence de climatisation, la maison reste fraîche l’été en raison de ses murs de pierres et du vent provenant des montagnes. Elle est située à proximité des régions de Sienne, Florence, Arezzo, Chianti... Toutefois, il faut savoir que les routes sinueuses rendent les temps de déplacement plus long notamment en suivant les indications des GPS. La gare de Montevarchi est une alternative intéressante et à proximité pour accéder aux principales villes. Aucun doute que les amateurs de la campagne Toscane y trouveront un lieu merveilleux de vacances.

Two Wonderful Weeks
This was our second stay at Il Poggiolo and it felt like coming home. The villa was perfect, Sara and Allen are friendly and helpful and the location is an easy ride to major tourist destinations. It also allows you to visit the small and charming Tuscan hill towns that are less well known. It is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Tuscan lifestyle. We look forward to our next visit.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 28. März 2020
It was a joy to have you back again as hilltop neighbors. Your expertise as seasoned travelers and old hands at European lifestyle makes your kind words especially appreciated. Do come back soon!

FANTASTIC experience in villa in Tuscany
I booked this villa 8 mos prior to our trip and had been in contact w/the owner numerous times. Sara was so very helpful before the trip and during the trip in regards to travel, distance, restaurants, town, etc. Upon arriving, Il Poggiolo was more than we could have expected. It was private, landscaped nicely w/a hammock that one could relax in while taking in the views. The views, WOW - we live in the mountains; but this was panoramic views of the mountains, vineyards, olive groves, a villa in the distance. This was a WONDERFUL experience and Sara helped to make it so. Thanks again, Sara!!

Wonderful Place to Stay!
We just returned from a two-week stay at Il Poggiolo and it was perfect in every way! The owners welcomed us with a lovely basket of local products. The entire house was spotless and everything we could possibly need for cooking, relaxing, and enjoying our stay was provided. The rooms are spacious and furnished in an authentic Tuscan style. The location of the house is convenient to the Autostrada (but don't worry- you won't know you're anywhere near it!) We easily travelled to all the highlights of the region including Siena, Florence, Orvieto, San Gimignano, Arezzo, and Volterra. The views were breathtaking from our outdoor benches -- the sunset is spectacular. Best of all Sara and Alan were so helpful as we planned each day, giving us suggestions and information based on their years of experience in the region. We could not have asked for better hosts or a more perfect place to stay.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 28. März 2020
Dear all three of you, we enjoyed having you as next-door neighbours, and it was a pleasure to share our knowledge of the region and its treasures. So glad you enjoyed the restaurant suggestions, the restaurant in Starda is quite a find! I am sure it is just a question of time until it gets discovered by one of those guides that rates with stars or forks or whatever. All best wishes for the coming academic year.
Über den Gastgeber
Zu Gast bei Il Poggiolo Tuscany
In 1994 Allen and I bought the property we had been renting for over 10 years. The reasons why we ended up in Tuscany, on a hilltop in the Valdarno, are totally serendipitous and entirely too long to go into here. But we did it, and lived in happy nonchalance, raising our daughter and commuting to work in Florence until the economic crunch began to make itself felt. In 2005 we had the belated realization that this property had better help maintain itself, otherwise we would find it very difficult to keep up the land and buildings after we retired. I kept buying lottery tickets with blind faith, but in the meantime we bit the bullet, hocked our souls to the Montevarchi bank, and decided to carry out a dream: to renovate the autonomous part of the villa once occupied by Allen's mother. We now rent this charming, semi-detached house to help with the never-ending upkeep of the property.
Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
Tuscany is not only a tourist mecca, but the climate is better than London and Paris (where we lived before). Florence is an easy commute, so it is possible to live in gorgeous countryside and work in the city. The people in this area are wonderful. In fact, the Tuscans are the main reason why my husband and I opted to stay in Italy, to buy the family property and make a life here. When Allen's mother moved to the Italian Riviera, the dowager apartments in the 'Casa Colonica' were used on and off by friends and family until we decided to restore them for vacation rentals. We have been very fortunate with having marvelous guests, many of whom have become family friends.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
Why the Casa Colonica at il Poggiolo Tuscany is special: 1. PERFECT LOCATION: Il Poggiolo is within easy reach of the major Tuscan sites of interest, so it is ideal for day trips. At the same time, you have the calm of the countryside and vibrant sunsets over the Chianti hills. For both gastronomy and shopping, the Valdarno is scattered with small towns and villages, offers excellent wineries and restaurants, and hosts a number of designer outlets (the Prada outlet is a 5 minute drive from Il Poggiolo). 2. LUXURY OF SPACE : The Casa Colonica has the advantage of spacious quarters and far more rooms than usual with vacation rentals. This can make all the difference when travelling with friends or family, In addition, the scenic garden is yet an extra space for all, for sunning in lounge chairs, reading in the shade of the evergreen oaks, or dining al fresco. 3. A REAL HOME: The Casa Colonica offers you the advantages of a real home, with all the conveniences and more beside. There is free parking on site, the gardens are comfortably furnished, inside there is a flatscreen SAT-TV, DVD player, and fast WI-FI. Bedrooms have extra pillows, cozy blankets and quilts for cool nights and AC for warm weather. If you think anything is missing, please let us know !! 4. EXPERIENCE of LOCAL HOSTS: You have complete autonomy and privacy, but if you would like to have any advice about restaurants or places to see that are off the usual tourist itinerary, just ask your hosts! You will not see your hosts unless you wish to, but having someone on hand to help with fine-tuning the details of a stay (or in an emergency) can be useful.
