This is a great location to visit Tuscany. From Il Poggio, you can see much of the heartland of Tuscany. A car is needed for a travel vacation. For a stay vacation, there are two pools, horse riding, classes; but the real fun was in travelling to all the great religious and historic cities, and to see how the Italian people live and work. Americans need to understand (since we are so pampered) that there is no air conditioning (other than natural, open the windows) at the resort, but as long as your vacation plans do not require that you stay in the unit during the day during the summer, the time will be just fine.…
Il Poggio is a working farm (Agritursmo) situated up the hill from a small village. It offers hotel rooms and apartments. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. The apartment was spotlessly clean and comfortable but don’t even think of trying anything more than the most basic of dishes! Views from the terrace and pool are amazing and typically Tuscan. Half board is available but there are a couple of small trattorias in the village and a small shop selling bread and essentials. Easy to explore Siena, Florence and Assisi from here. We also had 2 delightful little cats as visitors to our apartment that made us feel very much as home! Car definitely needed…
Eduardo, Simone, and all of the staff were so friendly and helpful. They went above and beyond to make our stay a great experience. You will need to rent a car to make the most of your trip and be able to explore beyond the resort.
Close to a lot of beautiful town hills, including an ancient fortress very close by - Radicofani. The food was excellent, a lot of it from their own property - wine, sausages, eggs, etc. Owners were very friendly and accommodating.
Il Poggio is located on a hill above a small Tuscan village with a magnificant view of the surrounding area. Facilities are comfortable and quiet. The restaurant, which prepares a variety of local specialities, is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful. Interaction with other guests provides additional information on neighbouring communities. Siena, Orvieto, and Assisi are accessible on day trips (Google maps directions essential given the winding country roads), but there are also many other small communities which provide a marvelous sense of Tuscany. Half-board is not cheap, but good value as it covers daily four-course dinners, an excellent breakfast buffet, and daily housekeeping. All in all, a very enjoyable visit. …
