We had a great time during our stay at a quiet country estate in Chianti with plenty of activities within a short drive. The property is well maintained and we enjoyed cooking Italian steaks on the American Weber Barbecue.
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. Their provided information was so thorough that we rarely needed additional attention. Overall an outstanding holiday!
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.
The most beautiful property we've ever stayed at. Roomy, comfortable and well equipped too.
Marina and Robert were very helpful hosts. I can think of nothing they could have done that would have improved our experience.

Beautiful and spacious farmhouse with a pool--which our 7 and 9 year old girls enjoyed VERY much. Immaculate. Great support from our hosts. We had such a relaxing time together, including card playing under a tree and nightly dinners on the terrace. Grazie Marina & Robert (and Roberta) !!
Everything was perfect, from check in to check out. The property is lovely and the villa is everything you’d expect to see in an Italian country villa. The hosts also connected us with a chef to cater a dinner and a cooking class! Highly recommend! Grazie mille a Roberto and Marina ! x
This was a great villa in the Chianti region. The villa suited our group of six. The location was ideal for visiting Siena, Florence and surrounding towns. Roberto responded immediately to any questions we had. A welcome basket was wonderful, supplying any immediate breakfast or snack needs. The wine was a pleasant surprise also.
Be sure to follow Roberto's written instructions to the villa. GPS gets you close but his instructions are needed! Would definitely recommend.
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!
We had an amazing stay at this picturesque villa. So close to many wineries and small towns (with a car)
Cannot beat the morning walks amount the vines with the small walled town of San gasme within walking distance
We had a local cheff come cook us homemade pasta!
But the absolute best part was knowing we could contact Marina at anytime and have our needs/questions met.
Thank you Marina and Roberto for sharing this villa. And for their son Carlo for his extra hospitality. We will always remember your kindness xo
Property built in the 1600's updated to accommodate a modern family! Beautiful Tuscan countryside just outside your door! Pool is a welcome addition for summer stays. Owner (Marina) and caretaker (Emanuela) are communicative and very very responsive! The welcome basket with perfect food choices helped start our 8 day stay! We loved the small medieval village, San Gusme as well as the larger town of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Close to Siena and Florence. (Firenze) Perfetto! Grazie Mille!
We had a lovely stay at Casa del Poggio! The house is very authentic and you feel like you live in Tuscany. The Arceno area is beautiful and we really enjoyed the small towns nearby. We had great communication and very accommodating check in and out and cleaning—all so friendly! The wine provided was very nice and we cooked many nice meals in the kitchen.
We just had a few ideas for future improvement: an umbrella for the main terrace would be nice as it’s south facing and very hot in the summer, a different system with the doors would be helpful as it was difficult to get in and out and you also risked being locked out, and lastly, a few more updates such as the TV and appliances and perhaps a sound system to play music.
Overall, we enjoyed it a lot here and thank the hosts for this experience!
My family of four (wife and two kids aged 11 and 14)) have just finished spending six nights at this place. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The home is immaculate and in an extraordinarily beautiful and serene area close to Siena and other interesting towns in the Tuscany region. The home is extremely spacious with many amenities including a washing machine which we very much appreciated. We stayed during a heat wave but the air conditioning made our stay very comfortable. We also appreciated having access to the pool, and the yard was incredibly peaceful and private. There is a very small hamlet minutes up the road called San Gusme with a couple of restaurants and other places to eat nearby. We also ate many meals at the home as we wanted to spend quiet evenings on this beautiful property. After 6 nights, my wife still didn’t want to leave which sums up our experience. We hope to stay here again one day. The owners - Marina and Roberto - made us feel very welcome and were wonderful hosts. We simply could not have chosen a better place to stay. We highly recommend staying here!!!
Beautiful property with lots of space for a family of 4 adults. Well equipped and the welcome provisions were a delight. The estate and surrounding area couldn’t be more tranquil. We left fully rested and relaxed.
Peaceful, quiet, tucked away beautiful in the beautiful Tuscany area. Would stay there again. Excellent property!

Great property, location and amenities.
A very good family property or for a couple of families. The location is great to access all surrounding areas and the small town of San Gusme is a short walk to spend an afternoon.

Restful Tuscan escape
Spent a perfect escape week exploring the Chianti region of Tuscany at this wonderful home. Terrific beds and linens with a very well equipped kitchen. So very quiet yet accessible to numerous vineyards. Drive a small car as the roads are narrow with many twists and turns.
A wonderful villa in a beautiful setting. You could not ask for more; the accommodations, the pool, the vineyards, and the surrounding area were all stunning. If you want to experience Tuscany and all it has to offer, then this is the place to stay.
Our stay was lovely! Wish we could have stayed for so much longer! We loved the enchanting walk to the the small medieval town of San Gums through vineyard and olive grows and cypress trees! Absolutely stunning scenery. The location of the villa was perfect for visiting all the towns in the region. The villa itself was fantastic! We cooked most nights and had everything we needed. The Villa as spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We felt right at home. The pool was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We were 3 adults so we had tons of space. Could not have asked for a better experience! Highly Highly highly recommend!
We just completed our second stay at this amazing villa, and it was even better than before! Marina is a wonderful host - attentive and easy to communicate with. The peaceful grounds of Villa Arceno can’t be beat (including the pool!). And the addition of air conditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen area since our last stay was such a wonderful bonus on those warmer Tuscany days and nights. My kids and husband are already asking when we can go back!

Thanks for an outstanding tuscan experience
Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with our family. Casa il Poggio provided us with an ideal location to explore the sites, food and wines of the area. The location was ideal, the house was well excellent and the hospitality and support provided by Barbara was outstanding.
Next time we will need to book more time to enjoy all of the wonderful things that the area has to offer.
Thanks again and we hope to return soon,
Carlos and family

🌟 A Perfect Stay in a Beautiful Villa 🌟
We had a wonderful time staying at this villa! It was incredibly spacious and comfortably accommodated all six of us. The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need, making it feel like a true home away from home.
The shared pool—only between three villas—was clean, peaceful, and felt very private, which was a lovely bonus. One of our favorite parts of the stay was exploring the scenic walking trails through the surrounding vineyards. The views were absolutely stunning and led us to a charming little village where we enjoyed a delicious dinner one evening.
The villa is also conveniently located within driving distance of another quaint town that has a great ice cream parlour, a cozy restaurant, and a grocery store for essentials. All in all, this was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommended!
What a wonderful stay my daughter and I had this past July! While we stayed for five days, I did wish we had more time. Always a good sign!
Marina was a delightful host and incredible when it came to information, suggested itineraries, and ensuring we had a comfortable stay. The property was beautiful, and my daughter especially loved the private pool and outdoor spaces.
We will be back soon with the entire family!
