"I can't imagine a better home-like experience than what we experienced here. Our hosts were charming and, more importantly, gave us a great window into what living in Tuscany is all about. We can't wait to go back! And for a much longer stay..."

This was an excellent experience. Not only is the infrastructure fabulous but its location is great.
Staff is friendly with an excellent service attitude. Restaurant in the hotel is amazing too!

The most beautiful hotel in the heart of Chianti. The service was above and beyond. Everything about this charming hotel was amazing. We cannot wait to go back.

Hotel is in fantastic location right in the middle of the action. Our room overlooked a small square across the street that had a holiday concert that we were able to watch from the room. Hotel bar is pricey, as expected by a 5* lobby bar, but staff is friendly and prompt. Only complaint is the flatness of the pillows and that's stretching. Breakfast is great (buffet plus small menu), staff is quick to recommend dinner places and cafes, and Siena is one of the best towns in Italy. Very...

Amazing! This was our favorite stop of our honeymoon. The staff was very friendly and even upgraded our room. Very quaint location and love the animals and farm dogs! The breakfast included every morning was great.

Nicest hotel that we stayed at in Italy. Exceptional service and they strive to be upscale and deliver. Impeccable views, grounds, rooms, and restaurant. Almost felt too nice to be true-- blend of older style with new updates. A bit Disney-fied in feel that it seems to cater to mostly Americans and few locals. However, this means no hassles, broken fixtures, etc. (but it is a very different feel like a California spa vs. an old Italy village hotel). Only minor note is that it is a bit removed...

Seriously the most unique and beautiful hotel!! The views are breathtaking. Do the wine tasting!! Enjoy the views! We rented a car- we were able to venture out to get snacks at a grocery store and try some local dining.

We are very frequent travelers who have never been to the Villa il Poggiale before and loved it. We visited in late September - not too hot and the evenings were cool. Perfect time to go. Federica, Irene, and the entire staff were absolutely wonderful from arranging our to/from airport transportation to making us feel at home. The grounds were lovely, although the pool was not heated in late September. We had breakfast everyday at the Villa - the chef does a wonderful job. They have a...

We had a great stay at this beautiful property. Everything was spotlessly clean and the hotel had a very relaxing atmosphere.
The staff were kind, attentive and welcoming throughout our stay. The amenities were all great, including the gym, padel courts and pool. The gym has fantastic treadmills and an impressive selection of weight machines if that’s your thing. My only suggestion would be to have a few better quality yoga mats for stretching and Pilates.

It was a quiet, and enjoyable stay. The gentlemen at the reception were always pleasant. My room was clean with plenty of space. The bed was very comfortable. The check in was easy.
The location was central to the things that I wanted to do. Although I had planned on walking from the train station, I ended up taking a taxi for €11.90. It was worth it as the streets are very hilly and not easy to navigate with luggage.

Overall great. It was a bit colder when we went. I wish they put heat lamps in outside seating areas in the evenings. I did ask and they put one but it needed time to heat up.
But other than that - amazing stay!

The accomodations were awesome! I would highly recommend this hotel. She does not take credit cards and it is difficult to find. However, she will send you an e-mail prior to arrival with all these details as well as how to find the hotel. You can park out front while checking in and then you drive about 100 meters to a free parking lot .... very convenient. The City is wodnerful are easily walkable!
