Lovely, authentic Tuscan home
We had a lovely stay at Casa del Poggio! The house is very authentic and you feel like you live in Tuscany. The Arceno area is beautiful and we really enjoyed the small towns nearby. We had great communication and very accommodating check in and out and cleaning—all so friendly! The wine provided was very nice and we cooked many nice meals in the kitchen. We just had a few ideas for future improvement: an umbrella for the main terrace would be nice as it’s south facing and very hot in the summer, a different system with the doors would be helpful as it was difficult to get in and out and you also risked being locked out, and lastly, a few more updates such as the TV and appliances and perhaps a sound system to play music. Overall, we enjoyed it a lot here and thank the hosts for this experience!

Amazing property in a beautiful location/
Stayed for 5 night in mid October with pleasantly warm weather. The pool was still open which was an unexpected plus. Walking distance to San Gusme, for lunch and lots of interaction with local people. Nearby to many interesting day trips,with areas to be with family. The terrace is perfect for outdoor meals and activities throughout the day. Special thanks to Marina and Roberto for checking on us and answering any questions.

Wonderful Tuscan paradise that provided the perfect foundation for exploring the Tuscan countryside. Our hosts (Roberto and Marina) were available for every question and/or recommendation.

Wonderful repeat stay!
We just completed our second stay at this amazing villa, and it was even better than before! Marina is a wonderful host - attentive and easy to communicate with. The peaceful grounds of Villa Arceno can’t be beat (including the pool!). And the addition of air conditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen area since our last stay was such a wonderful bonus on those warmer Tuscany days and nights. My kids and husband are already asking when we can go back!

Restful Tuscan escape
Spent a perfect escape week exploring the Chianti region of Tuscany at this wonderful home. Terrific beds and linens with a very well equipped kitchen. So very quiet yet accessible to numerous vineyards. Drive a small car as the roads are narrow with many twists and turns.

Lovely stay in Chianti
We stayed at Casa dil Poggio with two old friend for a week in June. It was a great location from which to tour wineries in the region. Our hosts were extremely accommodating, and we found the village of San Gusme' particularly charming. The property itself was lovely and well kept. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool each afternoon before dinners on the patio. We would absolutely recommend the villa to others!

Just beautiful!
Our time at San Gusme was wonderful. The location is just as described, truly beautiful - old stone house location in an area of vineyards, all part of an old estate. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio space and the pool (shared, a very short walk). For a respite from city travel, this is a great place to unwind. Loved the birds in the AM and the feeling of tranquility on the property.

The Most Idyllic Escape for the Best of Friends
We had the most amazing time at Il Poggio! The property is well maintained, Roberta and Marina were incredible, and the location could not be beat. We took day trips (by car) to Siena, Arezzo, Florence, Orvieto, and Montalcino, all of which were easily and quickly accessible. Each of our five guests (two couples, one single!) had their own floor and bathroom. We cooked in the well-stocked kitchen, drank wine while watching the sunrise on the patio, and were transported to the past walking through the vineyards to San Gusmè. I cannot recommend this property enough, and I hope to be back one day!

We had an amazing stay at this picturesque villa. So close to many wineries and small towns (with a car) Cannot beat the morning walks amount the vines with the small walled town of San gasme within walking distance We had a local cheff come cook us homemade pasta! But the absolute best part was knowing we could contact Marina at anytime and have our needs/questions met. Thank you Marina and Roberto for sharing this villa. And for their son Carlo for his extra hospitality. We will always remember your kindness xo

Pleasant villa in a hideaway location in tuscany
We stayed a week. Perfect organisation, well equipped house. Excellent and very quiet location. Very friendly and helpful owner. Lots of local information provided. Only drawback was the pool, which is a shared one 3 min footwalk away - didn't recognize this before. The pool is excellent though. Usable after 10 o clock ( there is a robot cleaning from 7-10).

Hadaways in Tuscany
This is a lovely villa with services near by, quite, well stocked. We had no issues with the operations of the house. Roberto and Marina were amazingly helpful with local sightseeing arrangements and even helped Texans navigate the Italian rail system. We have visited the larger towns in Italy and were seeking a rural Tuscany wine and food experience, this place more than met our expectations.

Charming Villa in a Corner of Tuscany Worth Exploring
Our family of 5 had a lovely stay in Roberto & Marina’s charming villa. The property description is very accurate and Roberto & Marina’s communication is excellent. There are already many accolades for their welcome basket and all are well deserved - truly makes the entry smooth and easy. The pool is crisp and clean and walks to the delightful town of San Gusmè are a must. We enjoyed the fantastic restaurant options in Castelnuovo Berardenga, and great proximity to the lovely Felsina winery. Grazie Roberto e Marina!

True Tuscany Experience
Lovely Villa, great location. If you want to experience the true Tuscany this is the place to stay. Barbara welcomed us in the true Italian style even though we where a hour late, but with great humour. Villa well stocked to get you started for the first days or more. Owners Roberto and Marina tried many times to contact us upon our arrival to make sure everything was good but we where so busy exploring the region it took a few days to contact. Lovely experience, would recommend this villa to everyone.

Peaceful retreat
We loved our time in this private villa in San Gusme. Perfect for our family of 6 with space for everyone and lots of different outside seating areas. We did day trips to Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. We walked through the vineyards to San Gusme and ate at the local bruschetta restaurant and we took the opportunity to have someone come in and give us a cooking class which was definitely a highlight of our holiday. Marina and Roberto was so easy to correspond with straight from the start and they could not have done more for us. Roberta, the housekeeper who speaks no English was lovely and with a little help from google translate, we understood each other! The Chianti on-site was amazing too!! Would return.

Lovely Tuscan Villa
Our family of 4 adults very much enjoyed the beautiful Tuscan countryside and the warm and cozy villa, nestled among the grape vines, near the Chianti region. And just past the rise of the hillside is an enchanting walled-in city in the town of San Gusme, where we enjoyed an outdoor concert and a delicious meal at a first class restaurant. A short distance to Sienna, about a 25 minute drive, and the Chianti Wine Region, the villa is perfectly located for day trips throughout the region. The house is comfortably equipped with all the necessary amenities and the agent/manager for the house, Barbara, was extremely helpful and accomodating. We would recommend this property to anyone interested in visiting the region!

Beautiful villa with great location
The villa is just as pictured. The welcome basket was greatly appreciated as we were exhausted from a long day of travel upon arrival. The home was well appointed with a lovely and generous amount of house wine. Mid week cleaning was done although the linens were not refreshed. The house book was quite helpful. We enjoyed our time thoroughly and would recommend this stay to anyone. Our timing in mid spring was somewhat challenging in the area, but during the main season from May through September it would be perfect. Best anniversary ever! Thank you Roberto and Marina for the use of your beautiful home.
