As we drove into the gates of Casa Portagioia I yurned to my friend and said,"we are home". Having been here two years ago, we were back for another sojourn with Terry and Marcello, this time for three weeks. Yes, three weeks of relaxation, rest, good food and wine, and some of the best laughs and repartee I have every... more

Although the landscape of Tuscany is so beautiful and the hill towns so charming, Casa Portagioia adds another dimension to the Tuscan experience. The authenticity and quiet elegance combined with the personality of the hosts really makes for a unique and delightful experience. We loved our room, the incredible view of the countryside, the attention to details both in the... more

As far as I'm concerned this is the only place to stay in Tuscany. Between the perfect hosts, amazing property, fabulous rooms, and delicious food you will not want to leave. I went with a friend for a 2 week trip and we stopped for 2 nights at Casa Portagioia based on all of the incredible reviews. We were greeted... more

We loved our stay at Casa Portagioia! We saw that it was consistently given five star ratings which made it easy to book and it lived up to the reviews. Terry and Marcello were the perfect hosts. Also, if you are lucky enough to have one of Marcello's incredible gourmet meals you might just say it was the best meal... more

Our time at Casa Portagioia was perfect. The setting is gorgeous, from the tall cyprus lining the drive, to the blooming roses, olive grove, manicured lawn. Our room had two windows looking out over the hillsides. The attention to detail was exceptional. We were privileged to be there on one of the nights when dinner was offered. It was one... more

Using Casa Portagioia as our base, we stayed there for 14 magically enchanting days. The setting is picture-postcard perfect. The accommodations are generously well-appointed. The two-evenings-per-week dinners rival a Michelin-rated restaurant. The hosts, Terry and Marcello are totally charming while providing first class service. We couldn’t have had a better introduction to Italy. more

I traveled to Italy with my sister in October, leaving behind our husbands and children. Casa Portagioia was our first stop before continuing on to Rome. Our only regret is that we didn't spend more time at Casa Portagioia. I could have stayed for a month and loved every moment! Marcello and Terry were the perfect hosts and kept us... more

2 couples stayed with Terry and Marcello 3 nights in early Oct. 09. Grape harvest in full swing and sunny days in mid 70's. Food, wine and care were wonderful. We absolutely did not want to leave. Terry and Marcello have made Casa Portagioia a first class Tuscan stop. Location is perfect-quiet, peaceful and beautiful. Do not pass on this... more

Marcello and Terry were the perfect hosts, providing one of the best vacation experiences we've ever had. The place is beautiful, immaculate, and spacious. We were truly saddened we hadn't booked additional weeks, but we won't make that mistake the next time... yes, we'll be going back again. We give it 4 thumbs up, 10 out of 10!!! more
