Recent renovations have brought the parquet and marble floors to their original 19th c. lustre, and at the same time have added important creature comforts such as a new gourmet kitchen, air-conditioning in each bedroom and in the kitchen, marble bathrooms and high-speed internet. Importantly, the owners are available to help you plan your northern Italian visit with bespoke itinerary suggestions and reservations help. Stays of 8 days or more include a mid-week cleaning service. The large, comfortable Villa, spread over two floors and 500 square metres, is appointed with tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds and pillows and beautiful detailing throughout. The Villa makes up the lion's share of the building; 2 smaller flats used by family and the caretaker have SEPARATE entrances and do not have access to this space. An adjacent lodge, private to our Villa guests, has ping-pong and foosball tables, in addition to croquet, badminton and bocce sets to play on the adjoining lawn. The property is located on a hill overlooking the surrounding towns and countryside. The locality is called “Poggio Verde” which means Green Hill. Our recently refurbished 20-metre swimming pool is a pure pleasure for lap swimmers and children. Shared with family members, it features plenty of pool furniture and a private changing room for our guests. This lovely Italian country villa is ideally located for visitors wishing to explore northern Italy, from Milan just 50 minutes to the south to Bellagio & Lake Como in the foothills of the Alps just minutes to the north. Outstanding northern Italian dining and things to see and do - culture and recreational - surround our home. At Poggio Verde we take special care of our guests, booking them into our favorite nearby trattorias, farm-to-tables, or Michelin restaurants, suggesting itineraries and facilitating their stay however we can, both before in the planning stages of their visit, as well as during their stay. We are well connected to surrounding service providers and we can arrange extras such as chef services, cooking lessons, a driver and extra cleaning at guests’ request. Please see further details on ilpoggioverde com. (There is the possibility of 4 additional bedrooms, sleeping 7, in an adjacent part of the building; these are not available during the summer months; see "Maddy's Poggio" on HomeAway.) Our goal as your hosts is to make your stay at Poggio Verde as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We know the area very well and are happy to put this knowledge at your disposal.

The house is very spacious and grand, dating back to the 1400s. The property is gorgeous, including a great swimming pool and game room for the kids (ping ping, foosball and bocce). The host was extremely responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. She even arranged a private chef dinner for us one night, which was wonderful! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jane H. 29 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family time in Italy We took our adult children, spouses and one year old granddaughter to Italy to be able to spend time together. Gretchen was a marvelous host. She communicated with me in advance to help me arrange a boat tour of Lake Como, gave lots of info about surrounding area, restaurants, and shops. The Villa and grounds are very impressive. Large, beautiful, accommodates a large group and yet child friendly. Bonus, handicap accessible. Hope to return again some day! ##### Jane H. Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corinne L. 7 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peaceful vacation - North Italian lifestyle Our family (8 people) gathered for Easter Vacation at the Poggio Verde villa. We have rented several villas in the past decade in Italy, Spain, Greece and France, but this one was definitely the most comfortable and peaceful one. We were lucky to meet the very kind owners and learn a bit more from them on the history of the villa and region. The garden is amazing, with old trees and flowers, plenty of spaces calling for meditation. We also liked the open kitchen which is fully equipped as well as the multiple dining and sitting rooms, where we even played the piano. There are plenty of beautiful places to visit as well as restaurants for those who would like a more active holiday, around the lakes and mountains within 45mn-60mn drive, and also various towns including Milano (there's a convenient train station not to far away, to avoid traffic jams). Each bedroom has its own bathroom so the villa is also very convenient for a group or even professional gathering. Highly recommended. ##### Corinne L.

Communication with Gretchen the year leading up to the stay was effective, quick, professional and friendly. I am not sure that I am able to properly express the glorious time we had with Gretchen, her family, and at the property. It was like arriving in a dream!!! The most beautiful and historical home. The property and grounds were very clean and well maintained. Its hosts were the epitome of hospitable and caring hosts. Our family made the most glorious of memories while staying at the beautiful villa. 11 out of 10 in every category! Thank you, Gretchen and Luigi, for blessing us with sharing your home with us! ##### Hillary N.

The entire estate is imbued with the feel of a grander era, from the statuary in the hedges, to the manicured lawns, to the high-ceilinged bedrooms, to the artful sconces in the upstairs hallway, to the illuminated statue at the bottom of the stairs, to the magnificent views. The house is decorated with original art, lots of books, and comfortable furniture in almost every room. There's a sense of luxuriousness and well-planned design everywhere you turn, and Gretchen couldn't have been more accomodating. She even picked up two members of our party from the train station, which we were deeply grateful for. I can't recommend Villa Poggio Verde higly enough. The extra bonus is the list of day trips provided by Gretchen, all of which provided to be memorable experiences. ##### Bruce B.

We felt right at home immediately. There was space for everyone, both indoors and outside. We loved being on the picturesque terrace and loggia, the lawns, in the beautiful large pool, and in every room in the house. There is so much history here. We loved the family photos, the art, the furnishings, the Murano chandeliers, the toys under the grand piano, the beautiful kitchen. The Villa is filled with love and care. It felt so warm and comfortable to us, including the children. One evening, we brought in a chef to prepare a beautiful meal for us.

We loved the peaceful nature of the home and all the history. I cannot wait to return! ##### yvonne f.

The place is perfect as there is lot of space inside and outside. We really loved the terrace with and without roof to enjoy the magnificent view over the huge garden and the landscape. Gretchen was perfect in contact and help. ##### Constanze H.

The home is spacious and beautiful, with every amenity we needed for a restful stay. The secluded hilltop setting offered a stunning view of the surrounding area, a large private patio, grill, and gazebo, and a large pool. We did our grocery shopping in the town 5 minutes away and went out for gelato to two different shops in nearby towns. We ventured out during the days about one hour in every direction for hikes, lakes, “canyoning”, castles, and Milan, not to mention the beautiful drives along the way. Gretchen and her staff were so attentive and personal, offering tips and suggestions for every aspect of our stay. ##### James B.

Gretchen is a superb host who had an answer or suggestion for all our inquiries. From day trips, booked events, restaurants, and wine shops, everything was the best. The home is elegant with every amenity you would need. The property is well maintained - wonderful scents from the garden enticed us outside. The lap pool is spotless and was used daily. Chef Maria was the icing on the cake. Our last meal was fantastic. Maria is warm, the consummate professional, and the evidence is in her excellent food. Highly recommend!! ##### Gins V. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geoff C., Honolulu, Hawaii 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house with classic furnishings in a lovely rural setting We loved our stay - Gretchen was so welcoming and helpful. She introduced us to the property and assisted with restaurant recommendations and suggestions of places to see. It is a bucolic setting, which we relished - some may find the location slightly isolated, but Milan is only an hour or so away, and the lakes about an hour and a half. Virtually all en-suite bedrooms were ideal for our party which included people from 9 to 83, and the well equipped kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. We were there during a heat wave, and the benefit of air conditioning in all the rooms (and the kitchen!) cannot be stressed enough! There is huge pool as well. Fantastic local restaurants nearby, but great supermarkets 7-10 minutes away for those who wish to stay home - Gretchen can also arrange for catering! We will certainly look forward to returning should we get the opportunity. Geoff & Emma, London/Hawaii ##### Geoff C.

Do not miss a chance to stay here Il Poggio Verde is an incredibly spacious villa situated in close proximity to Milan, Lake Como and many other wonderful destinations. Our family stayed for a week in August with another family of four. We had 4 kids between us, ages 10-13\. The swimming pool was gorgeous and immaculate. The kids enjoyed the ping pong and the foozball in the game room. There is a giant screen with a projector in the parlor so we had nightly movies in this home theater by connecting our laptop to the projector. The kitchen was fully stocked and we enjoyed both cooking at home, fine dining locally and even one night hired a chef to cook for us. The grounds and gardens were beautiful and well maintained. We had planned to do day trips daily but couldn't resist the charms of the villa and spent two full days lounging by the pool. Angeline was extremely helpful with suggestions, dinner reservations, and answering questions as they came up. We have been traveling in different European countries with our friends for five years in a row now and this was far and away our best experience. You won't regret it. Ciao Il Poggio Verde- we already miss you!! ##### Jennifer H.

Vi var 7 vuxna och 1 barn (1,5 år). Huset var perfekt med allt vi behövde för en vecka tillsammans. Det var jättebra att samtliga sovrum hade badrum när man är ett stort sällskap. I köket kunde vi laga goda middagar att njuta av på den vackra terassen. Spelrum, bio och pool är ett stor plus, vi stannade hemma mer än vi planerat för att det var så trevligt! Vänliga värdar som hjälper till och enkel kommunikation, kul att få ta del av deras historia. Värden och huset får vår största av rekommendation! ##### Vicky D.

This villa just couldn't be any better. It's a beautiful property. So many amenities. Very comfortable. Wonderful bedrooms and bathrooms. We really enjoyed the outdoor living spaces as well. It's the perfect "home base" for day trips in the area. Gretchen was so easy to work with! Thanks for the great vacation! ##### Pam P.

Combining both elegance and comfort, the villa is a magical spot. It has the graciousness of a century old home with the amenities of the 21st century. A fully equipped kitchen. A/C in all the bedrooms. Good wifi. A movie room. Child friendly with toys and a crib. A fabulous pool with floats and toys. Even yoga mats. We prepared elegant dinners that we ate on the stunning porch overlooking the vistas of Lombardy. The villa is perfectly situated for exploring Lombardy and the small towns on Lake Como. If you are lucky enough to rent Villa Poggio Verde, you will experience the same magic we did. ##### ann a.
