My wife and I wanted a Tuscan countryside setting, but all the services of a high quality hotel and reasonable access to shopping, dining, etc. Villa Poggiano was perfect. Stefania was extremely helpful; she set up private tours, suggested a few itineraries, and made all of our dinner reservations. The room was spotless and spacious. If I have any criticism, it's that there is no WiFi in the rooms...but that is understandable given the thickness of the walls in the estate. We loved our stay and would definitely go back.

We stayed in a "junior suite" for two nights in mid-October. We were surprised at how close the complex is to Montepulciano (literally five minutes drive), so it was easy to bounce back and forth during the day. (Parking in Montepulciano was plentiful and free.)

The Villa is a complex of buildings. The photos on the website do not do justice to the splendor of this place! There are beautiful planters and fountains everywhere, a nice pool and clubhouse, walking trails, and stunning views in every direction. Our suite had a small sitting area in the foyer, a large bathroom, and a nice-sized bedroom with king bed and small television. If we were to return (which we'd like to), we'd splurge on a full suite.

Service was warm and personable. The included breakfast was simple but adequate, and served in a very comfortable and elegant breakfast room. Bicycles are available (complimentary) during nice weather.

Overall, I highly recommend Villa Poggiano.

My wife and I stayed three nights. Everything about this place is first class. Upon arrival, we were diven advise on places to eat by type and price range, with clear directions. The quiet of the night was a nice change of pace after a few days in Florence. It's extremely close to Multipulciano (less than 10 minutes), and not far from Pienza. Great base for touring the area, especially if your looking to sample Tuscany's Vino di Nobile Montipulciano or the Brunello's of Montalcino, or visiting Sienna or Cortona. A limited room service menu was offered, which was nice after a long day of driving/sightseeing.

We returned once again for the 3rd year in a row spending 9 nights at this fabulous Villa. It is starting to feel like a second home as we feel just so comfortable and relaxed in this wonderful place. The peace and quiet, the discreet service and attention to detail, the superb breakfasts and Stefania just keep us going back. The rooms are spacious and well appointed with a view to die for (Room 9 or 10) with a pool large enough to have exercise in if you could be bothered to get up off the loungers!
And yes we have booked for 2011!!
