"La Poggetta is a fabulous place to stay!!"
What can I say? This was a fabulous villa for our group! It is within 1 hour to all that we wanted to see in Tuscany - Sienna, Cortona, San Gimignano, Florence and Montalcino. It is well furnished including dressers and armoires in the bedrooms for your clothes. The kitchen is of ample size and the indoor and outdoor dining spaces were great! The huge vegetable/fruit and herb garden was the best. Growing in the garden were tomatoes, cukes, zucchini, peppers, eggplant, figs, apples, cantaloupes, basil, sage, rosemary etc and we were free to use whatever we wanted. It felt so Italian to go pick our bounty for the evening meal.The other treat is Lorenzo! He is a friend of the owners and speaks English as the owners do not. He met us at the villa to show us around and we pre-arranged for him to come in and cook dinner for us for my 50th birthday and it was so delicious and he brought the wine pairings for each course as well. He is a very congenial, friendly and fun person and very helpful in so many ways. He had his aunt Lorena there to help with the meal and what a gem she is! She prepared the Tiramisu for my birthday cake and it was the best Tiramisu I have ever had. Lorenzo also has a local shop to get meats, cheeses, wines and other specialty food items. It is a great shop with reasonable prices. Lorenzo will also do custom tours and/or wine tours and cooking classes if you so desire. He was just the best. We also enjoyed the owners even though they did not speak English. You could just feel the warmth they exuberated. We truly enjoyed our time time in Tuscany and I would highly recommend La Poggetta! The only suggestion I would make is that the villa should have more wine glasses although there are plenty of glasses so you are never without a vessel to pour wine into and more ice trays in the freezer.
