Peaceful retreat
We loved our time in this private villa in San Gusme. Perfect for our family of 6 with space for everyone and lots of different outside seating areas. We did day trips to Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. We walked through the vineyards to San Gusme and ate at the local bruschetta restaurant and we took the opportunity to have someone come in and give us a cooking class which was definitely a highlight of our holiday. Marina and Roberto was so easy to correspond with straight from the start and they could not have done more for us. Roberta, the housekeeper who speaks no English was lovely and with a little help from google translate, we understood each other! The Chianti on-site was amazing too!! Would return.

The Most Idyllic Escape for the Best of Friends
We had the most amazing time at Il Poggio! The property is well maintained, Roberta and Marina were incredible, and the location could not be beat. We took day trips (by car) to Siena, Arezzo, Florence, Orvieto, and Montalcino, all of which were easily and quickly accessible. Each of our five guests (two couples, one single!) had their own floor and bathroom. We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen, drank wine while watching the sunrise on the patio, and were transported to the past walking through the vineyards to San Gusmè. I cannot recommend this property enough, and I hope to be back one day!

Amazing property in a beautiful location/
Stayed for 5 night in mid October with pleasantly warm weather. The pool was still open which was an unexpected plus. Walking distance to San Gusme, for lunch and lots of interaction with local people. Nearby to many interesting day trips,with areas to be with family. The terrace is perfect for outdoor meals and activities throughout the day. Special thanks to Marina and Roberto for checking on us and answering any questions.

Wonderful Tuscan paradise that provided the perfect foundation for exploring the Tuscan countryside. Our hosts (Roberto and Marina) were available for every question and/or recommendation.

Why they chose this property

Lovers of the countryside , my wife and I for many years were looking for a special place for a vacation home. In 1999 we had the good fortune to find and purchase La Casa del Poggio, this corner of paradise where we spend most of our spare time.
Hoping to retire there someday, now we enjoy sharing with our guests what we consider a marvelous treat. The beautiful Villa Arceno wine and olive oil Estate is the setting of our villa where we feel at home, in peace and relaxation but also surrounded by the amazing Tuscan environment with its immense history, culture and traditions.
