The Villa Poggio was perfect for our family of 17 - roomy, clean, beautiful, an oasis of calm after a long day of sightseeing in Florence - the pool a refreshing respite from the heat. Our hostess could not have been more helpful, even driving one of our group to the local ER for a badly cut/broken finger! She arranged for a cook to prepare/serve our dinner and she also arranged for our breakfast.. It was a complete and fabulous vacation, a wonderful experience to share as a family. I would unconditionally recommend the Villa Poggio!

I started corresponding with Cristiana over three years ago in regards to staying at her gorgeous property. The pandemic delayed our trip and we finally we able to make it happen this year. Cristiana went above and beyond in ensuring that everything went perfectly with our stay. First of all, her property is beyond anything any of us expected. The incredible villa stands on a stately property that has views that are so breathtaking that each day was a unique experience for all 8 of us. Cristiana recommended an incredible chef (Alessandro from Chef Tales) for our two private dinners which were simply divine. Alessandro and his staff were so flexible and wonderful that we are still missing him so much already! Cristiana also recommend the most wonderful driver (Giovanni) for us who was basically our own personal tour guide. He took us to places that were not always the most typical tourist areas which helped us see a whole other side of the gorgeous Tuscan region. We made two winery visits at his recommendation and loved them so much that we can’t wait to receive all the wine the we ordered to be shipped home! Giovanni is a gem who is also super reasonably priced so definitely hire him to drive you around. This was probably the best vacation of my life mainly due to Cristiana’s incredible kindness, warmness, and absolute hospitality and the house will leave you speechless! Returning back home after our wonderful time in Italy is already so hard that I’m starting to plan my next trip back :)

Words cannot be able to describe how incredible our stay at Villa Poggio was. We went for my father-in-laws 80th birthday celebration - 15 of us between the ages of 3 and 80. The villa and it's views are absolutely spectacular, but more important was the kindness and attentiveness of our hosts who went above and beyond. Cristiana ensured that everything was prepared for our arrival, she recommended a private chef for some dinners and a cooking class and went out of her way to help find us a chef to prepare a Passover Sedar. Cristiana's children, Irene and Enriquo even gave us a private tour of their winery and shared the history of the property. The villa is incredibly spacious for large families with outdoor space for the children to run around and play soccer. Everyone was just as happy to spend time relaxing in the villa as they were to tour Florence and the Tuscany region. We were truly sad when it was time to check out, not only to leave Tuscany but to say farewell to our new friends.

Our family of 16 (ages 6 to 80!) had a once in a lifetime trip to Tuscany, Italy. We stayed at Villa Poggio for a week and were welcomed by our amazing hostess Cristiana! She is attentive, kind and sweet. Before and during the trip she provided wonderful advise and suggestions. She was extremely helpful and communicated well throughout. She even facilitated making appointments for all of us to have Covid testing prior to returning to the US. The villa was spacious, with plenty of room for everyone to have their own rooms and bathrooms. The views are absolutely incredible of Florence! The pool was an added bonus for the children! The villa was a great central location for day trips to Pisa, Siena, Lucca, Montepulciano, San Gimignano and a quick 15 minute drive to Florence. Cristiana provided us with complimentary wine from their very own vineyard which was enjoyed by all. She recommended Chef Alessandro who came to the Villa to create a special birthday dinner for our nephew. We were all so impressed that we had him come back to prepare dinner for our last night. To top it all off, Cristiana and her son provided a tour of their 14th century facilities where they continue their active winemaking!

Abbiamo passato una bellissima vacanza! La struttura è spaziosa, ben attrezzata e accogliente. I proprietari sono stati molto ospitali, disponibili e disposti a soddisfare ogni nostra esigenza.

We have just come back from a wonderful holiday with a large group of friends at Villa Poggio. We had the most incredible time - the house is huge with beautiful gardens and the stunning views are hard to describe. Cristiana is a wonderful host and helped us with every we needed. We can't wait to go back! Thank you Cristiana

This is an incredible property with extremely gracious and helpful owners. The villa is tucked away on an incredible estate in the Tuscany hills overlooking Florence. There are fantastic views in every direction. We enjoyed watching the fireworks on New Year's eve from our balcony. There were 10 of us in our party (4 adults, 6 children) and the villa had plenty of room to spare. It's very spacious with 4-5 levels of living space, a good sized kitchen, long dining room table, and stocked with wine and olive oil for purchase that is made right on the property. There is a small town within walking distance for your daily espresso, small grocery items, bakery and restaurant. Within about 10-15 minute driver there is a larger supermarket with everything you will need. Florence is approximately a 20 minute drive away and 30 minutes to the airport. There a plenty of excellent (non-touristy) restaurants within 15 minutes of the villa. Cristiana and her family are quite lovely and make you feel right at home. They even arranged a cello rental for my daughter, gave us a great tour of the larger property, winery, and more. We had a few minor issues and questions during our stay which were resolved very quickly. Overall, this was the best experience we've had on VRBO as everything exceeded our expectations. The pictures can't do justice to the beauty of this quiet and picturesque property. I sure hope we are able to return here again!
