The Casa Colonica at il Poggiolo Tuscany:
Holidays & Sabbaticals in Tuscany

Located in the heart of Valdarno (the area that inspired Leonardo da Vinci for the backgrounds of many paintings), the Casa Colonica at il PoggioloTuscany is perfectly located for relaxing holidays, daytrip tourism, nature walks, wine tasting, gastronomy, and even remote working.
Come live like a local : for a friends/family vacation, to work in the peace of the countryside, to draw and paint, or to finish that book on sabbatical. Explore the Tuscan landscape of olive groves, vineyards and medieval villages on scenic paths that start right at your door.
Il PoggioloTuscany offers you a spacious, allergy-sensitive, pet-free and smoke-free accommodation in the Casa Colonica : close to Florence, Siena, Lucca, Arezzo, Pisa, Cortona, and historic thermal spas.
Welcome to your hilltop home in Tuscany!
Free WI-Fi. Free parking on site.

Il PoggioloTuscany is pleased to provide an allergy-sensitive environment for guests. While each person’s allergies are very specific, we have tried to eliminate the most common allergy triggers, beginning with a no-pet and no-smoking policy.

Inside, dust and molds are everyone’s biggest enemy. That is why there are no dust-catching drapes but rather traditional wooden shutters (scuri) on bedroom windows. The floors are a beautiful Italian tile. Rigorous cleaning standards are applied before and after each rental. The beds are all orthopedic (wooden slats) and the pillows, covers and mattresses are hypo-allergenic

A country house is by definition in the midst of nature, where allergens are hard to control. Nonetheless, on our property we have avoided planting the most common allergy-producing trees, bushes, and flowers (such as mimosa).

For those with special diet requirements, a variety of alternative foods – such as milk substitutes and gluten-free products – are easily available in the area.

 

NO ANIMALS

We love animals, but due to the allergies of many of our guests (as well as our own), we must maintain a strict no-pet policy.

Guests arriving with pets will not be permitted to check in and will forfeit the entire rental fee.

 

NO SMOKING

It is also required that there be no smoking inside the buildings. Each accommodation has a garden and lots of space outdoors where it is possible to smoke in comfort.

Prachtig uitzicht en veilig vanuit de tuin wilde dieren kunnen zien. Veel interessante boeken (geschiedenis, omgeving, romans en meer) en veel informatie over activiteiten. Fijn bed en douche. Goede uitvalsbasis voor bezoek aan o.a. Siena, Florence en Arezzo. Via Google Maps is de locatie makkelijk te vinden en we werden hartelijk door Sara ontvangen.(AirBnB)

My wife and I stayed in the Villa for 8 nights as we toured the villages of Tuscany. The Villa is in a great location with beautiful views allowing day trips by car to villages in the Tuscany Region. Sara our host was wonderful joining us one evening for aperitivo and providing information regarding villages, places of interest and restaurants. The villas is very well stocked with everything you need. We enjoyed the villa so much we ate dinner there most evenings. If you are looking for an authentic Tuscan Villa experience in a good location this is the villa to rent. (VRBO)

Well- appointed and well-stocked Villa. The Casa Colonica is just as described, but even more beautiful in person! All the modern conveniences of home and amazingly curated with art and furniture that magically reflects the history of the Villa and region. Stunning landscape surrounds the entire property. We had our own private oasis where we enjoyed early morning sunrises, a cup of coffee and serenading birds, and then glorious Tuscan sunsets each night. Perfectly situated to take short daily trips. We went to Siena, Lucca, Cortona, Arezzo (Montevarchi also has a train station to take longer journeys), wine and olive oil tasting in the Greve and Chianti regions nearby. (VRBO/Expedia)

Nous avons passé en famille 15 jours chez Sara : sa maison est magnifique et typiquement toscane. Elle est située au sommet d'une colline, en pleine nature, la vue est époustouflante. Elle garde la fraîcheur malgré la chaleur mi-août. Elle est parfaitement équipée et meublée avec beaucoup de goût. Quel délice ! C'est un camp de base idéal pour visiter la toscane. Florence, Sienne, Arezzo et tous les villages typiques du coin, tout autant que pour profiter des coins de baignades et de balades. Sara nous a indiqué plein de coins supers. Quel accueil de sa part : chaleureux, prévenant et tout en discrétion. Nous avons tellement apprécié son accueil. Un grand merci de nous 4 pour ce magnifique séjour. (AirBnb)

Everything was set up perfectly...

This was such a beautiful home and property! Everything was set up perfectly - the sun was hot, but the house stayed nice and cool, There was plenty of shade and seating outside, so we never had to leave the view! Okay, we did leave a few times to visit the thermal baths, lovely Siena, and nearby Montevarchi, Levane and Bucine. It's easy to park the car in Montevarchi and hop on the train to some of the nearby cities if you don't want to do a lot of driving! At the end of the day such a wonderful and peaceful place to come home to. Everything set up perfectly and furnished so nicely - the kitchen has everything for cooking . We also had to do a bit of work, and wifi was good for email and Zoom calls! This was an amazing stay, and I would 100% recommend. (AirBnb)

This Tuscan Villa was a wonderful delight - it was even bigger than we thought!. It was also very clean and organized and decorated in a authentic Tuscan style. Very well thought out for all the amenities from the kitchen accessories to the beach towels. It was also great to get to know Sara, Allen and their daughter, Kyra who helped us check in and get us acclimated with the area and provided suggestions for things to do in the area and the nearby public pools, restaurants and towns to explore! All helpful! Also it was very affordable to stay at the villa and in Tuscany! Absolutely beautiful area and property! Molte Grazie, Sara, Allen & Kyra! (Booking)

Sono stata tre volte al Poggiolo. La tranquillità del luogo, la casa bellissima dotata di tutti i confort, l’ottima connessione internet, sono per me dei punti forti per dei periodi di smart working, relax e visite culturali. I proprietari sono adorabili, è piacevolissimo intrattennersi con loro e sono sempre disponibili per dare consigli su ristoranti, prodotti tipici e attività nei dintorni. Sono molto accoglienti e allo stesso tempo discreti e rispettosi. La pulizia é impeccabile. Consigliatissimo a persone di tutte le età che vogliano scoprire questa parte della Toscana.

I had the most incredible stay!...

I had the most incredible stay at the Casa Colonica on Il PoggioloTuscany property! The epitome of gracious hosts, truly made my trip unforgettable. I was captivated by the stunning views that surround this picturesque villa. The villa itself is not only impeccably clean but also steeped in culture and history. Every corner seemed to tell a story, and I felt like I was living in a piece of Italian heritage. It was like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts. There is thoughtful attention to detail,, and the meticulously prepared binder was a treasure trove of insider tips that went above and beyond any other accommodation I’ve experienced. If you’re looking for an authentic Tuscan experience, look no farther. (VRBO/Expedia group)

Pasamos el verano pasado en Il Poggiolo y fue extraordinario. La casa se encuentra en la parte alta del pueblo y brinda una vista privilegiada de toda la zona. Las puestas de sol son magníficas desde este mirador. La casa cuenta con todo lo necesario para pasarlo muy bien y con los propietarios uno se puede pasar horas conversando sobre diversos temas de actualidad y de historia, es súper interesante. Me hace acordar al pueblito donde grabaron la película "Call me by your name". Ultra recomendado Il Poggiolo!! (y la película). (AirBnb)

Plusieurs autres commentaires font déjà état, avec justesse, de la magnifique maison, de la communication facile et agréable avec nos hôtes, de la proximité de la maison avec les autres villes de Toscane. Tout ceci est exact, et nous souhaitions simplement mettre de l’avant le soin apporté par Sara dans l’aménagement de la maison, dans le choix du mobilier et dans l’ensemble des petits détails mis à la disposition des invités. On est loin ici des AirBnB génériques qu’on trouve souvent en Italie, mais bien ici dans une ancienne maison de ferme de Toscane absolument charmante et unique, où tout semble avoir été planifié pour rendre notre séjour agréable.
