Villa Il Poggiale Dimora Storica

This was my second visit to Villa il Poggiale - the first time being with my mother 20 years ago, and we had the best time! Sadly, that was my mother's last trip outside of the U.S., and she passed away last year. So when my fiance (now husband) were choosing a place for our wedding ceremony, we wanted to be at Villa il Poggiale because my mother and I had such a great experience there. We were not disappointed! The staff were so thoughtful and respectful, and made everything absolutely perfect! Even one of our guests who is a highly regarded hotel manager was extremely impressed with the hospitality, service, and atmosphere. They catered to our every need and went above and beyond on everything for us and all of our guests at all times. Even though the villa was completely booked, there was no lack of attention. We felt as if we were their personal guests. And their prices for everything - rooms, food, and amenities - are so reasonable. The villa is perfectly situated for exploring Florence and the Chianti region, and the staff is so helpful in planning your itinerary and making reservations at wineries and restaurants. We cannot wait to go back. And the staff there is like family, especially Monica, who is very dear to us now.

Our family celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at the Villa with 55 guests....family and friends. The villa, the atmosphere, the rooms and pool and especially the food and staff were exceptional. Monica ensured that all of our needs were attended to and was the most gracious host. Her staff is top class!

Villa il Poggiale is tucked away in the Tuscan landscape just south of Florence. The vistas from anywhere in the Villa are breath-taking. The room that we had was beautifully appointed and decorated to perfection and included all amenities. We ate at the Villa for breakfasts and most dinners and their food is decadent. Service is top-notch and staying at the Villa feels like 'you are at home' - there are many areas to hibernate to, inside and outside. The library, in particular, is a soleful place to spend time and just think about the generations that once used the Villa in all its splendour. A marvellous stay!!
