We have just returned from Italy and our 4th stay at Il Poggiale. Everything was just as good as ever and we hope to be lucky enough to return next year. We must however echo a comment in a previous report regarding the swimming pool. It was very noisy with several badly behaved children who were unchecked by their parents.... more

Stayed in the villa for two weeks; the house itself is fantastic, the staff very friendly and great location (need a car, only 20mins from Florence, 30-45 mins to airport) The only downsides were as follow: - too many kids at the pool! this is not a child friendly place, parents shoud be advised to keep their children quiet -... more

My wife and I just spent 4 days at the Villa il Poggiale Dimora Storica as part of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration. Neither of us had been to Italy before. We selected the Villa from pictures and other information gathered from the Internet. When we got to the Villa, it was more beautiful than the pictures showed. The Villa... more

We have to agree with the previous reviews that described the experience as disappointing or average, and we find the management response to those reviews to be very indicative of our experience also. There is such pride in the villa that anything less than similar acceptance, adoration, enthusiasm and even gratitude on the part of the guest for the accommodation... more

My sister and I stayed at Il Poggiale for 2 nights last week and we liked the hotel very much. The Villa has been decorated in a chic, comfortable manner, there are books available to read, so you don't need to take any yourself, there are wonderful views from the front garden, fresh flowers in the communual rooms. The breakfast... more

We conducted a 5 day photography workshop at the Villa and found the staff to be most accommodating. From morning to night they looked after us and our 20 delegates. What an amazing view and a beautiful historical building. All the rooms were extremely comfortable and clean. Every meal we ate was delicious. The small town nearby offered numerous restaurants... more

Villa il Poggiale did not live up to our expectations. On the positive side of the ledger, it has a very good location to visit parts of Chianti and Florence if staying out of the city is your desire. Also the views from the property are spectacular. On the negative side, service levels leave something to be desired. It took... more
