I first discovered Il Poggiolo in 2004 while leading a photography tour in Tuscany. Although my group was staying in a different agriturismo at the time, we were invited to dinner by another group of photographers we'd happened upon, in a poppy, field earlier the same day. Since then, I've been bringing my groups to Il Poggiolo, and sending friends,... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for our summer vacations. The place is quite nice, and our apartment was spacious and comfortable. The village is some five walking minutes away, and offers many opportunities to eat well. In fact, we are both food lovers, and of all the places to eat that we tried, we found the very best to...

Many positive aspects to staying here (we've been here 5 times during past two years). Michele is your host and he is clearly at the top of any list of positives. He's very helpful and willing to offer advice on places to visit of things to do (plus he makes a great afternoon espresso). The location is fantastic situated just... More

Nice place just outside of the town. Close enough to walk to for dinner but far enough away to feel rural. The town itself was lovely and has some great, good value restaurants. The apartment we stayed in had a decent kitchen so we ended up eating a few times at the apartment as there are also outside tables. Nice... More

Came here for a photography workshop. and its the second time i came around. Love the place..love my room (called Liberty)... perfect view overlooking a Toscana lanscape. Charming and quaint ambience of old furniture is conducive to photo workshop. Big plus is the fact that i can cook !! Old town is just 5 minute walk, so its easy to... More

It has hard to fault this place because it is in a wonderful location but this place is not perfect, though the criticisms are very minor indeed. It was very very hot when we stayed there and the pool was very well used but make sure you have sunscreen as there is little or no shade. The rooms are more... More

We had the great pleasure of staying at Residenza Il Poggiolo for 6 nights early June 2011 A memorable travel experience is made up of more than location and great weather. Attention to detail and a love of the area allowed Micheal to answer our many questions. Il Poggiolo offered panaramic views across the d' Orica valley to Montalcino and... More

Well, what can I say - the region surrounding San Quirico D’Orcia, in the heart of Tuscany, is a truly stunning area to visit, and Il Poggiolo is an amazing place to stay in while doing so. Most of the major attractions in the area (particularly from a photographic point of view) are easily reachable by car. A converted villa... More

We stayed here for a week during our 17 day trip around Italy and southern france. Having driven from England we were using this as our base to travel around Tuscany, this is a perfect location for a base. We agree with the other reviews that the manager - Michele was very pleasant, fluent in English and Helpful with information... More
