Es war alles in allem ein unvergesslicher Aufenthalt.
Die Lage ist einfach nur traumhaft und man kann einfach mal abschalten und entspannen.
Werden definitiv nochmal wieder kommen.
Very nice location, beautiful views, especially from the swimming pool. The house/ appartment we were in was Biagio. It's large, with 2 sleeping rooms both with their own bathroom. It can be a bit dark due to the rather small windows, and the somewhat dim lights, but most of the day time your outside anyway enjoying the swimming pool or the beautiful countryside. Beside that Federico is a very friendly and helpful host and always quick to respond on questions. We had a wonderful time here.
Wir waren mit unseren beiden erwachsenen Töchtern hier und hatten eine sehr schöne entspannte Zeit. Vom gepflegten Garten und dem sehr schönen Pool hatten wir einen wunderbaren Blick auf
Sienna und die herrliche Landschaft. Wir hatten die Ferienwohnung "Stella". In der Beschreibung der Wohnung wurden 3 Schlafzimmer angegeben. Man sollte dazu wissen, dass sich ein Schlafzimmer (mit 1Bett) auf einer Empore ĂŒber dem Hauptschlafzimmer befindet, das von dort aus ĂŒber eine schmale Wendeltreppe zu erreichen ist und keine Raumhöhe hat (man kann nicht aufrecht stehen). Die beiden RĂ€ume sind nicht durch eine Wand oder TĂŒre getrennt. Das 3.Schlafzimmer ist eine winzige Kammer mit einem Bett neben dem Hauptschlafzimmer. FĂŒr uns als Familie war das ganz ok, fĂŒr 2 Paare aber nicht geeignet.
Top Blick vom Garten aus auf Siena, insgesamt sehr schöne Anlage mit einladendem, gepflegten Pool. GemĂŒtliches Ferienhaus. Ein Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett und von dort aus Treppe zur Empore mit Einzelbett, sowie in ein separates, kleines Zimmer mit weiterem Bett. KĂŒche gut ausgestattet mit GeschirrspĂŒlmaschine. Freundlicher Vermieter und reibungsloser CheckIn. Kleine Unstimmigkeiten bei der Abreise bzgl. der Endreinigung (abweichend vom Inserat) konnten bereinigt werden. Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert.
We simply loved the place. The outdoor area and the view was all we dreamed it would be. It was a bit hard to find the place and the written info was put away in a book shelf so we didnÂŽt find that till after a while. But that was just a minor thing. Our hos Federico was most helpful and responded quickly to all our questions.
Super Lage zum Wandern, Fahrradfahren und fĂŒr Kulturelles. Die Korrespondenz mit dem Vermieter war offen, freundlich und Zuvorkommend. Ein sehr liebevolles GebĂ€ude und Umfeld
Tiptop ******
Tolle Lage mitten im Chiantigebiet mit einmaligem Blick
Sehr netter Vermieter, hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben. Leider Keine groĂen Kochaktionen möglich,( es gab nur ein groĂes Brotmesser). Nachts wiurde es im September schon recht frisch, eine Wolldecke wĂ€re gut gewesen. Von Fewo direkt wurde versĂ€umt , die Kosten fĂŒr die Endreinigung zu erwĂ€hnen. AuĂerdem war nicht zu erkennen, dass der Restbetrag (Hauptanteil) bar zu bezahlen ist (wir sind davon ausgegangen, dass der Betrag analog der Anzahlung eingezogen wird).
Poggino ist ein kleines Paradies, die Anfahrt ĂŒber 2 km SchotterstraĂe lohnt sich! Hatten das Appartement Stella mit tollem Garten und der Gemeinschatspool ist traumhaft mit Aussicht bis nach Siena.
Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Danke!
Il Poggino ist ein kleines Paradies - nicht weit von Siena und San Gimigniano entfernt, erlebt man dort die absolute Ruhe. Der Pool und der Garten sind superschön. Können wir nur wÀrmsten empfehlen.

The best features of this villa are its outside spaces and fantastic views. We had a great week with wonderful weather and really made the most of being in this stunning location. The villa is up a bumpy dusty track, but once you get used to that, it is quick and easy to get to Castellina in Chianti for provisions, and there is even a great winery and beautiful restaurant at the bottom of the track in Fonterutoli itself - a definite highlight for us.
However all was not perfect. Before we arrived we were asked to relocate from Stella, with lovely outside space looking straight over the Tuscan countryside, to Biaggio, an upstairs larger appartment with its outside space at the bottom of the stairs to the side of the house. We were happy to oblige, particularly as we thought we were getting an upgrade. When we first arrived we were slightly disappointed that you didn't have such a great view from the outside seating, but, as there were only two of us, we were able to move our chairs and tables to make the most of the view and actually it was all fine. We spent most of our time at the pool anyway, from where the views are second to none! The grounds are all beautifully kept and there is plenty of seating and shady areas for everyone at the pool.
From speaking to the occupants of Stella, I think ours was the more comfortable appartment inside, and it was certainly very spacious. But it was quite dark inside and the sofa bed in the lounge, the only seating apart from the chairs around the table, was very uncomfortable! The fan in our room was broken (something that could have easily been checked beforehand?) and so we had to swap it with the one from the other room.
Having read from previous reviews how friendly Frederico was, it was disappointing not to meet him until day 3 of our visit. His father, who was there to meet us, did his best to show us around, but he didn't have much English which made it hard to ask questions. When we did finally meet Frederico, he was indeed very friendly and helpful.
There were no provisions (barely any salt and pepper even) to start us off. Mostly when we have hired villas or cottages there is a bit of olive oil or coffee or something, which makes a nice little starter to a self catering week, especially when you have flown and not been able to bring anything with you.
Little touches like a nice welcome and starter kit make all the difference to your first impressions. Otherwise all was good!
We had a great time, combining both culture and relaxation in a beautiful setting under superb weather. The property owner Federico was helpful, professional and friendly and the guests occupying the two adjoining apartments were discreet but neighbourly.
We were staying in the apartment 'Stella' for a week and we expected a beautiful location, but upon arrival it by far exceeded our expectations. The garden is gorgeous, the pool is awesome and the views are spectacular. The private terrace was very nice and our 1 year old son had plenty of room to crawl around. (It was very nice that a baby chair and baby bed were available for us to use!) Federico is an awesome host, very welcoming and friendly. The house has everything you might need. This place definitely goes on our list of places we would love to visit again!
