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, 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!

Lovely Tuscan Country Home
Property built in the 1600's updated to accommodate a modern family! Beautiful Tuscan countryside just outside your door! Pool is a welcome addition for summer stays. Owner (Marina) and caretaker (Emanuela) are communicative and very very responsive! The welcome basket with perfect food choices helped start our 8 day stay! We loved the small medieval village, San Gusme as well as the larger town of Castelnuovo Berardenga. Close to Siena and Florence. (Firenze) Perfetto! Grazie Mille!

Great stay in Tuscany
This was a great villa in the Chianti region. The villa suited our group of six. The location was ideal for visiting Siena, Florence and surrounding towns. Roberto responded immediately to any questions we had. A welcome basket was wonderful, supplying any immediate breakfast or snack needs. The wine was a pleasant surprise also. Be sure to follow Roberto's written instructions to the villa. GPS gets you close but his instructions are needed! Would definitely recommend.

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!

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.

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!

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).

We cannot wait to return! A wonderful stay in Tuscany
Due to COVID, our long-planned stay in Tuscany to celebrate my son's University graduation was postponed 3 years. Expectations were high and it was worth the wait. Marina and Roberto were outstanding hosts, responsive and generous with their help. Their villa was as beautiful as the photos, the setting even prettier, with rose bushes lining the steps to the front door. On the afternoon arrival Marina and Roberto took us through the vineyards on the walk to the walled city of San Gusme, 10 minutes away. Surrounded by rolling hills it was breathtaking. The welcome basket other reviewers mentioned was just what was needed after a day of travel (and their Chianti very good). The villa had all the comforts needed, lovely linens, fully appointed kitchen and terrace for meals outdoors. (The pool was a 3 minute walk, in another gorgeous setting). Marina arranged for a chef, Giovanna, to come in and cook for us one night. This was a highlight of a trip filled with highlights. During our 12 days we reached out to Marina several times, she responded quickly with excellent problem-solving or suggestions. Highly recommend our hosts and this property if you too are looking for a blissful time in Tuscany.

Wonderful small Tuscan villa with good location. We even enjoyed many of the local towns close to the villa itself, though Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano etc are not far. Marina was helpful in helping us set up dinner and winery reservations, tennis, and a cooking class at the villa with Giovanna. Access to pool was also great on the hotter days. We had some minor issues throughout that were dealt with promptly by Marina. There will be other properties that are bigger or have better views, but this is a versatile option with great value.

This house is stunning, comfortable and spotless. It is located in a beautiful area surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. It’s so peaceful and the views from the property are extraordinary. The house is very spacious and the rooms are also very comfortable. Our kids enjoyed the pool during the hot summer days. The house has air conditioning in the main area and bedrooms. This property is also near asmall and charming little town with very good restaurants, a butcher, and supermarket. Marina was an amazing host to say the least. She was so incredibly helpful with recommendations of what places to visit with our family. She went above and beyond to help us make our stay magical! We visited Sienna, a castle , multiple vineyards and other small little Tuscan towns with Marina’s guidance. We wish to come back to Tuscany and stay at this lovely home. Thank you Marina for sharing your beautiful home!

Why they chose this property

Lovers of the countryside , my wife and I for many years were looking for a special place for a vacation home. In 1999 we had the good fortune to find and purchase La Casa del Poggio, this corner of paradise where we spend most of our spare time.
Hoping to retire there someday, now we enjoy sharing with our guests what we consider a marvelous treat. The beautiful Villa Arceno wine and olive oil Estate is the setting of our villa where we feel at home, in peace and relaxation but also surrounded by the amazing Tuscan environment with its immense history, culture and traditions.
