Guestbook

This place really is wonderful. The entire compound is homey, warm, and inviting. Even in October, in an unseasonably cold week, the place was marvelous – defined by gorgeous skies and views. I can imagine that staying here in the summer would be paradise. Gracious managment, friendly, and enormously helpful in every way. Cannot recommend this place enough if you come with a car and wish to jaunt around Tuscany.

Pietro, NY, USA

We stayed almost 2 weeks at Poggio d’Oro in an apartment with 3 bedrooms. Actually, it was a mansion with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and a tower with 2 extra beds. Pool perfectly clean the whole day. Views from every corner were absolutely idylic. Communication and check in/out were easy and very welcoming. Perfect location for exploring the region, but a car is a must!!! Really enjoyed going every morning to San Donato for coffee and pastry. The village is totally underestimated, has a local atmosphere and a few good restaurants. Would definitely come back someday for such a stay in the summer.

Vismantas, Switzerland

Truly spectacular location with breathtaking views. Wonderful managment that couldn’t do enough to make our stay all the more pleasant. Great accommodation with easy access to Florence and Sienna. Would highly recommend

Merveilleux séjour en plein du Chianti. Nous avons pu visiter Florence, Sienne et les villages toscans, et se détendre le soir au bord de la piscine. La vue de l’appartement est magique, au petit déjeuner comme au dîner. Nous avons egalement etait tres chaleureusement accueilli, encore merci pour tout !

Het verblijf bij Poggio d’Oro was super. De locatie is prachtig, maar ook het huisje was erg schoon en netjes. Wij zijn hier een week geweest en hebben veel dagtrips gemaakt in Toscane. Heerlijk om dan terug te komen en nog even af te koelen in het zwembad. Marco is ontzettend vriendelijk, en geeft goede tips. Ik zou dit verblijf zeker aanraden.

Lotte, the Netherlands

We absolutely loved our stay here! Our villa was immaculately clean, wonderfully appointed, roomy yet cozy, nice kitchen, and had a great terrace with lovely view of the Tuscan hillsides. San Donato is centrally located to many other towns and villages in Tuscany — perfect for half-day or day trips. Marco is super responsive and very helpful with any and all recommendations for the area. Highly recommend staying at Poggio D’Oro during your visit to Tuscany!

Maurice, Los Angeles, CA

Diese wunderschöne Anlage ist super gepflegt und perfekt gelegen, um die Sehenswürdigkeiten der Toskana zu erkunden. Wir hatten einen super Aufenthalt, auch durch den sehr herzlichen und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber, vielen Dank!

Julian und Alexis, Berlin, Deutschland

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful experience staying here – truly a hidden gem in a fantastic location in the Tuscany countryside. To add to this, the managment is incredibly attentive, welcoming, and friendly host and made check-in and check-out a breeze. The views from the estate are absolutely breathtaking on the warm, autumnal mornings that we stayed and there are good links to all of the nearby villages and vineyards in the area. San Donato itself is small but has everything you need to have a quiet night out with a few beers or a glass of wine. Overall, it was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone as a potential location on their next trip to Tuscany. The morning views over the Tuscan hills alone are worth the money. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to use the Tennis facilities or the Swimming Pool but perhaps if we make a return visit we will find the time to do so.

Just a short note to thank you for your hospitality and to say how much we enjoyed staying in La Rosa. Hope to see you some time next year.

Liz and Peter Hines, England

Mum and I just wanted to thank you for helping to make our holiday so special.
We had a wonderful time and Poggio d’Oro is definitely our favourite place in Tuscany. Many thanks for being so welcoming.

Susan Mac Donald, Edinburgh, Scotland

I am just writing to say how much my husband and I enjoyed our holiday at Poggio d’Oro at the end of July. Our first visit to Italy was a very memorable one, not just for the superb sights that Tuscany has to offer, but also because of the lovely “Chianti” apartment, its wonderful views and the warm welcome we received.
A week was not long enough to see and do all we would have liked, but that is a good reason to return for another visit. Many thanks for a superb holiday and kind regards to your family and yourself.

Sheila Thorn, Exmouth, England

Just a note to say mille grazie for your help while we stayed at Poggio d’Oro.

Both Yolande and I want to say thank you to you and your family for making our time at Poggio d’Oro a very memorable one. We will for sure return in the near future and would be happy if at that time you would accept our reservation.

Paul Stevenson, UK

Sono stato nel Vostro stupendo Poggio (Villa le Rondini) con mia moglie e mia figlia in Settembre. Le mando queste linee perché mi sembra giusto che Lei sappia quanto piacere ci ha prodotto. Siamo rimasti veramente incantati dei giorni passati lì, e molto del nostro benessere è dovuto al meraviglioso intorno che la Vostra azienda è in condizione di brindare. La “nostra” villa era una vera meraviglia e l’unico che spero, in qualche momento futuro, è ritornarci e poter goderla più a lungo. Naturalmente aggiungo al paesaggio da sogno la vostra accurata gentilezza.
Un caro saluto dalla nostra lontana Argentina e spero di rivederla al più presto possibile.

Dr. Alessandro Fonzi, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Il y a une semaine nous partions, le coeur lourd, de Poggiod’Oro. Richard et moi tenons à vous remercier pour l’accueil chaleureux et tous les bons conseils que vous nous avez donnés tout au cours de notre séjour chez vous. Nous avons grandement apprécié l’Italie et particulièrement le Chianti. Soyez assuré que nous n’aurons que des bons mots à dire à nos amis concernant Poggio d’Oro.
Merci encore et au plaisir de vous revoir peut-être un de ces jours,

Carole et Richard Thibault, Canada

We want to thank you again for your kindness and your time.
We enjoyed our stay in this very recommendable place.

On behalf of all the family who had the pleasure of staying in your villa, thank you for such a wonderful experience.  The accommodation was perfect and of course the location made it possible for us to see so much of Tuscany in our one short week.  We will all have lifelong memories of this special time. We will certainly be recommending to our friends traveling to Italy, that they spend some time in one of your villas in Poggio D’Oro.
