The owners make you feel like at home, they produce good wine and olive oil, which is what we were partly looking for - smaller local producers! Take a insect repellent with you :-) the agriturismo is really high in the hills!

Prachtige ligging met uitzichten zoals op een schilderij. Rosado is een geweldige aangename behulpzame eigenaar. Het zwembad is zeer proper maar spijtig heeft een dazenplaag ons weerhouden om in volle rust ervan te kunnen genieten. Het huis is zeer ruim en gerieflijk. Echter de toren zelf daar hebben we geen gebruik van gemaakt (te donker en te muf) en daar wou dus niemand in slapen.maar voor de rest hebben wij aangename uitstappen gedaan en lekker gegeten en gedronken

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Beautiful location with views like a painting. Rosado is a great pleasant helpful owner. The pool is very clean but unfortunately we had a plague of horseflies so we did not fully enjoy it. The house is very spacious and comfortable. However, the tower itself we did not take advantage of it (too dark and musty), so no one there wanted to sleep there but for the rest we made pleasant trips and we had good food and drinks

A superbly located, beautifully renovated, spacious apartment. Kitchen is so well appointed that we couldn't resist preparing at least one large and very enjoyable meal during our stay, in addition to breakfasts and snacks. There's a reasonable, small shop within walking distance, and it is easy enough to drive up to Siena for more serious provisions. The surrounding grounds are lovely and well kept, adding to the ambiance.

We stayed in the “La Pergola” apartment at Il Poggetto for one week. Our hosts, Fabrizio and Eva, were very nice. The apartment was comfortable, although interior lighting was limited. The farmhouse is in a beautiful location. It is at the end of a steep and bumpy gravel road, which wasn’t a problem for us, but some guests might find the road rather daunting. In Castellina in Chianti, a small town about 15 minutes away, we discovered several excellent restaurants.

The main problem we had during our stay was the lack of internet in the apartment from the day we arrived, Sunday, until Thursday. To access the internet during this period we had to go outdoors and around to the front of the house. This was disappointing, especially since the description of the apartment said that there was internet, and before our arrival I had asked for and received written confirmation from Easy Reserve that we would have internet. During the last three days we were finally able to access the internet but it was extremely slow. We managed to download email, but web pages and messages with file attachments often couldn’t be downloaded.
