Huis met alles erop en er aan. Geweldig uitzicht vanaf het terras en en mooi privezwembad. De eigenaren zijn zeer vriendelijk en hulpvaardig. Een echte aanrader dus!!

Fanatastic, highly recommended!
Staff were great, especially the lovely German lady (I am sorry I didn't ask her name) who was always at the restaurant or bar - I am not sure when she slept!
I read a few unfavourable reviews online before going, but they all seem to be focused on lack of maid service. This is a self catering property rather than a hotel - I wouldn't expect maid service.
There are also some reviewer's photos showing the pool a dirty green colour - they are winter photos when the pool is closed. In summer the pool is blue and crystal clear with a good number of quality loungers and chairs.
It is a very interesting property with lots of narrow winding staircases leading to unusual and unique guest rooms. Rooms are converted from the castle state rooms (grand drawing rooms with beautiful artwork on the ceilings), servant quarters (romantic attics with hidden balconies) and stables (spacious family apartments). There are stunning views from the pool, restaurant and some rooms.
We were in Montegufoni 31 - a great 3 bedroom apartment in the stable block. As I would expect it had more of a rustic cottage feel compared to some of the signature rooms in the main castle but very spacious, clean and well furnished. Perfect for our family.
There was a wedding while we were there. A little inconvenient as the restaurant was closed for a night and the pool got a bit crowded a couple of times when a lot of the wedding guests congregated there. It was worth it though because they decorated the courtyard and gardens with fairy lights which were really enchanting.

We loved this place, beautifully rustic with lemon & lime trees growing, vine yards, converted farm buildings all giving a lovely atmosphere. The pool was a highlight for us as a family, and with the hot weather, large and clean with wonderful views over the valley. Poggibonsi is also a great location for exploring Tuscany. would recommend.

Renter Rating: 3/5.

positief : zeer rustige ligging boven op een berg. Weinig andere gasten aanwezig. Midden in de natuur met herten en everzwijnen.
negatief : 5 ( ! ) km lange en moeilijk berijdbare zandweg ernaartoe. Vooral lage auto's hebben het daar moeilijk mee. Keuken was niet proper ( vuile glazen, vuil gasvuur,...) De rest was ok qua properheid.
