Villa il Poggiale

A perfect respite in rolling green hills outside Florence. Scenic vistas, beautiful rooms, and satisfying meals all in one place. Can’t wait to return.

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.

Great place, close to a nice little town with all the amenities. Staff are wonderful, very helpful, and had great recommendations for restaurants and shops. Room was nice size. Only negative is that the windows did not have screens in our room, unlike other room, and the room was very warm. We would open the windows during the day but the mosquitos are HORRIBLE so we were unable to open them at night. They did offer a fan which was helpful. They also explained that the air-condition is shut off for the season.

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!

We had our dream wedding at Villa Il Poggiale. Monica and team made it all come true. Feels like a 2nd home!
