Summary: First of all, the place is just a Tuscan dream. You wake up to the sound of the wind flowing through the mountains and a subtle sunlight that’s guarded by the mountains surrounding you. Second, the cottage is so connected to nature that it really gives you the chance to finally relax, eat, read a book or do whatever you need to recharge. Finally, Maria Luisa is such a sweet lady and she really gives you all the details (and space) you need to work around all the utilities. We highly recommend staying here if your looking to desconnect and relax.

Summary: We absolutely loved staying at Maria Luisa's place. It was perfect and we will definitely go back. The house was beautifully decorated and perfect for a family with children. The garden and pool were amazing. It was the perfect setting for a very relaxed vacation.

Summary: Our stay here with Maria Luisa was the best place to unwind and enjoy everything nature has to offer. As a group of 7 women we all had our own space to retreat. Whether it was at the pool, in a hammock, in the beautiful gardens, there was a place for everyone. The pool and garden area was a favourite place to enjoy the vast surroundings. Maria Luisa was a gracious host ensuring all our needs were met. One week was not long enough. Each dwelling on the property had it’s own particular charm. This home was perfect for my sister and myself. A cozy, picturesque place that we called home and look forward to returning to some day. Thank you Maria Luisa for a memorable time in Italy!

Summary: The house was very nice located. When we arrived we were warm welcomed by Maria Luisa, where she explained everything. The road to Vierle is a challenge the first time, but you’ll get used to it soon enough, just drive slowly.. The poolside is just outside the garden fence and the view over there is so nice and peaceful. The pool is not too deep, so useful for our kids. Shops in Londa are small, but they have all the stuff you need. In Dicomano or Borgo San Lorenzo there are bigger supermarkets. We did the tour around the Olive factory, hosted by Maria Luisa, which was lovely! Her son Tommaso and his wife Nanette also hosted a wine tastery on their own vineyard, which is absolutely a recommendation to visit and experience. In the neighborhood, little towns like Poppi (great castle!), Loro Ciuffenna, Certaldo and San Gimignano are definately worth a visit. Virenze/Florence is very touristic, but so full of beautiful buildings, it is overwhelming! You could spend weeks there to visit everything… And last but not least: the caffé, the wine, the food in Italy is amazing. We’ve had only good and tasty food! Thanks!

Summary: Beautiful haven where one can truly relax and unwind . The swimming pool was enjoyed by my husband and I, plus, it was perfect for our 12 year old son who enjoyed making friends with children, who were neighbouring in the nearby properties. We loved going for walks up and around the mountains and we admired the 'locals' ~ envious way of life! There are a number of quaint aswell as rustic places to eat out, although be aware that these are a approx a 20/30 mins drive. In particular we were drawn back to Casa Del Procuttio, a friendly, family run restaurant set opposite a river, serving excellent, authentic Tuscan dishes. Here we borrowed bikes which are parked just opposite the restaurant/ delicatessen. Guests are permitted to use them free of charge and there's a safe, cycle track, with kiddies bikes available to. We took the 45 minute train journey from Londa to Florence where we went rafting up the River Arno, a totally unique and fun way to learn about the history of Florence. So many other places of interest and beauty to visit, Arezzo, San Gimigano, Pisa, but Ahhh ....after a busy, hectic day of sightseeing, we loved nothing more than to hibernate back in, admidst the stunning green, mountains and cosy up at, Del Poggiolo. We would choose this property again as it has a front, flat garden, which, allows you plenty of privacy to sunbath, enjoy quite family time, a BBQ area and it has very close access to the swimning pool. There is a cool, garden hammock which we all took in turns to use and loved nothing more to pass the zzzzz'z away and or read a whilst, simply soaking up the picturesque scenery of the hills and mountain's. . Marialouisa the owner of the property is a wonderful, kind and very helpful lady. Her family also run Olive Oil tour's and wine tasting tours which I'd highly, recommend. I can't recommend this accommodation & it's location enough.

Summary: Great place to stay for a couple or small family. Private garden a lovely place to relax with amazing views. Drive to property not for the faint hearted but having said that me and my 80 yr old mum did it more or less daily. Londa has everything you need, train station for trips to Florence etc. A wonderful holiday hope to return one day.

Summary: We stayed at Il Fienile del Poggiolo for 9 nights at the end of June with our two year old. The property is well equipped with the master bed especially romantic with its canopy. The mattress is quite hard but we like that so found it very comfortable. As previous posters have mentioned the second bedroom and bathroom are both located off the main bedroom, so it's better suited to families than two couples. Despite the heat the property was nice and cool inside. The really special thing about the property though is the outside space. The photos really do not do it justice. The garden is beautiful, with plenty of shade; full of wonderful colour and smells and buzzing with insects. At night it lights up with fireflies. The pool area is clean, refreshing and spacious with simply stunning views over the mountains. Although there are another two properties sharing the pool, and Maria's house adjoining, the property is very private and the pool was always quiet. Maria was welcoming and helpful but did not disturb us. The property is about a 15 minute drive from the nearest town (Londa) which is not at all touristy but has all the amenities required including a great grocers, butchers and bakers (all closed in the afternoon and re-open in the evening). I believe there are also a couple of restaurants but we didn't visit them as they didn't open until 7pm which was too late for our two year old. We flew into Bologna and it was a very easy drive to the property. We visited Florence which was an easy 15 min drive and 50 min train journey (beautiful but sweltering) and San Gimignano which was an easy 1.5 hour drive (again beautiful town and countryside). Would also recommend the free visit to Maria's family's olive oil mill - very interesting and lovely tasters. We also visited the Parco Zoo at Poppi which was terrible! Bear in mind that the property is quite remote which has its advantages and disadvantages. It is quiet, peaceful and stunning, but you have to drive everywhere and all the main Tuscany areas of interest are at least a 1.5 hour drive away. The property is so lovely and relaxing you may not want to leave it though! Thank you Maria for sharing your property

Summary: When we arrived at Il Fienile del Poggiolo we were truly amazed and the photos and description didn't really do it justice. If you want peace and tranquillity, beautiful sunshine and beautiful views then you won't be disappointed. The property is wonderful with all you need and has a very private large garden which we used all the time. If you want to sightsee then the train station is 10 mins away and you can be in Florence in 1 hour and within easy reach of Sienna, Pisa and Livorno. The Chianti region is very close by for Wine lovers and I would recommend a visit the town of Poppi which is charming and provides some stunning views of Tuscany. Closer by the village of Londa and town of Dicomono provide everything you need and there are so many good and inexpensive places to eat. To be honest after two weeks this little piece of Heaven felt like home and Maria was such a wonderful help and so welcoming. We will be back again next year and I couldn't imagine going on holiday anywhere else.
