"The property exceeded our expectations. Everything was exactly as described, if not better. It was spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by stunning Tuscan countryside. The pool was immaculate and a perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. We especially appreciated the peaceful, family-friendly atmosphere. The gated entrance gave us an extra sense of privacy and security, making it a wonderful place for both adults and children. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible food experiences that Alex arranged for us. We enjoyed a fantastic hands-on cooking class with a private chef, followed later in the week by an unforgettable birthday dinner prepared at the villa. Both meals were exceptional and gave us an authentic taste of Tuscany. To top it all off, on our final evening Alex arranged an amazing pizza night in the courtyard between the two houses. A pizzaiolo arrived with a mobile oven and treated us to a true pizza journey, serving one outstanding pizza after another. It was relaxed, fun, incredibly delicious, and the perfect way to end our holiday." – July 2026
"We had a wonderful stay - the houses are appointed with everything that could be required for a vacation stay and we really enjoyed the restaurant down the road. The air conditioning and nebulizer were also very appreciated during the hottest days." – August 2025
"I have stayed in five-star hotels, rented houses, and villas on every continent. I have traveled the world and have had the good fortune of encountering exceptional service. But I have never had anything that touched the life-affirming experience of staying in the villas at Poggiosole. From the moment we arrived, Alex welcomed us like we were family. The villas are like something out of a movie or a dream. The exteriors and grounds, the olive groves, and the sheer natural beauty of the property epitomize the majesty of Tuscany. What blew me away were the modern interiors with brand-new amenities and technology. Often, when you stay somewhere so historic, you sacrifice modern indoor experiences. That is not the case at Poggiosole. Alex made the experience magical. He was warm, helpful, and also respectful of our space." – September 2025
"This is one of the best homes I have stayed in period! The home sits on an olive tree farm with amazing views. The owner spared no expense on this home. He is very accommodating for all your needs and the olive oil he will leave for you in the villa is simply amazing. It is perfectly located as well." – June 2024
"Peaceful, beautiful, tranquil, safe - all the wonderful adjectives you can think of. It offers all the mod-cons and a true Tuscan experience. The property was immaculate and the host, Alex, was extremely generous with his time and his suggestions as well as making sure buckets full of coffee and delicious olive oil were available. The property has olive groves and fruit trees throughout. Then there’s the pool - magical!" – May 2024
