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

We agree with the other reviews that the manager - Michele was very pleasant, fluent in English and Helpful with information... More

Positioned... More

He also packed us croissants for the day trips! He also gave us... More

We spent 2 weeks at the Residenza Il Poggiolo with our 2 children (8 and 11). The building was originally a Roman staging post and is located minutes from the stunningly picturesque Val d'Orcia.
