Beautiful property with lots of space for a family of 4 adults. Well equipped and the welcome provisions were a delight. The estate and surrounding area couldn’t be more tranquil. We left fully rested and relaxed.
Our stay was lovely! Wish we could have stayed for so much longer! We loved the enchanting walk to the the small medieval town of San Gums through vineyard and olive grows and cypress trees! Absolutely stunning scenery. The location of the villa was perfect for visiting all the towns in the region. The villa itself was fantastic! We cooked most nights and had everything we needed. The Villa as spacious, clean, and very comfortable. We felt right at home. The pool was beautiful and exactly as pictured. We were 3 adults so we had tons of space. Could not have asked for a better experience! Highly Highly highly recommend!
Peaceful, quiet, tucked away beautiful in the beautiful Tuscany area. Would stay there again. Excellent property!

🌟 A Perfect Stay in a Beautiful Villa 🌟
We had a wonderful time staying at this villa! It was incredibly spacious and comfortably accommodated all six of us. The house was thoughtfully equipped with everything we could possibly need, making it feel like a true home away from home.
The shared pool—only between three villas—was clean, peaceful, and felt very private, which was a lovely bonus. One of our favorite parts of the stay was exploring the scenic walking trails through the surrounding vineyards. The views were absolutely stunning and led us to a charming little village where we enjoyed a delicious dinner one evening.
The villa is also conveniently located within driving distance of another quaint town that has a great ice cream parlour, a cozy restaurant, and a grocery store for essentials. All in all, this was the perfect spot for a relaxing and memorable getaway. Highly recommended!
We had a great time during our stay at a quiet country estate in Chianti with plenty of activities within a short drive. The property is well maintained and we enjoyed cooking Italian steaks on the American Weber Barbecue.

A very good family property or for a couple of families. The location is great to access all surrounding areas and the small town of San Gusme is a short walk to spend an afternoon.

Thank you Jamie and thank you Angela!
It really is a big compliment when former guests recommend our home to friends and family and they enjoy it very much.
Thank you too the professionalism of our housekeeper Sherie and manager Barbara which do everything possible to make our guests feel at home.
We hope to see both families again soon!
Quiet, relatively tourist free home in Tuscany. (After all, we are tourists.) near charming small towns. The owners couldn’t have been nicer.

Restful Tuscan escape
Spent a perfect escape week exploring the Chianti region of Tuscany at this wonderful home. Terrific beds and linens with a very well equipped kitchen. So very quiet yet accessible to numerous vineyards. Drive a small car as the roads are narrow with many twists and turns.

Lovely stay in Chianti
We stayed at Casa dil Poggio with two old friend for a week in June. It was a great location from which to tour wineries in the region. Our hosts were extremely accommodating, and we found the village of San Gusme' particularly charming. The property itself was lovely and well kept. We enjoyed cooling off in the pool each afternoon before dinners on the patio. We would absolutely recommend the villa to others!

Dear Cathy and David, thank you for the beautiful thoughts you have shared!

Our time at San Gusme was wonderful. The location is just as described, truly beautiful - old stone house location in an area of vineyards, all part of an old estate. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio space and the pool (shared, a very short walk). For a respite from city travel, this is a great place to unwind. Loved the birds in the AM and the feeling of tranquility on the property.

We just completed our second stay at this amazing villa, and it was even better than before! Marina is a wonderful host - attentive and easy to communicate with. The peaceful grounds of Villa Arceno can’t be beat (including the pool!). And the addition of air conditioning in the bedrooms and kitchen area since our last stay was such a wonderful bonus on those warmer Tuscany days and nights. My kids and husband are already asking when we can go back!
Everything was perfect, from check in to check out. The property is lovely and the villa is everything you’d expect to see in an Italian country villa. The hosts also connected us with a chef to cater a dinner and a cooking class! Highly recommend! Grazie mille a Roberto and Marina ! x
Wonderful Tuscan paradise that provided the perfect foundation for exploring the Tuscan countryside. Our hosts (Roberto and Marina) were available for every question and/or recommendation. Their provided information was so thorough that we rarely needed additional attention. Overall an outstanding holiday!
Stayed for 5 night in mid October with pleasantly warm weather. The pool was still open which was an unexpected plus. Walking distance to San Gusme, for lunch and lots of interaction with local people. Nearby to many interesting day trips,with areas to be with family. The terrace is perfect for outdoor meals and activities throughout the day. Special thanks to Marina and Roberto for checking on us and answering any questions.

Dan,
After all the good conversations we had throughout your stay and in organizing your day trips, we are surprised, astonished and sorry for your review. We both signed a gentleman agreement under which you committed yourself to advise of any problems immediately upon your arrival. Unaware of it, we were not given the opportunity to address your concerns in a timely manner.
Our home care, maintenance and hospitality standard has always been great for our guests.
Regretfully, this was not the case for you. We will continue to do everything we can to improve and provide a pleasant experience for our guests.
Beautiful and spacious farmhouse with a pool--which our 7 and 9 year old girls enjoyed VERY much. Immaculate. Great support from our hosts. We had such a relaxing time together, including card playing under a tree and nightly dinners on the terrace. Grazie Marina & Robert (and Roberta) !!
The most beautiful property we've ever stayed at. Roomy, comfortable and well equipped too.
Marina and Robert were very helpful hosts. I can think of nothing they could have done that would have improved our experience.
Joseph
What a wonderful stay my daughter and I had this past July! While we stayed for five days, I did wish we had more time. Always a good sign!
Marina was a delightful host and incredible when it came to information, suggested itineraries, and ensuring we had a comfortable stay. The property was beautiful, and my daughter especially loved the private pool and outdoor spaces.
We will be back soon with the entire family!

It is a great satisfaction to know that our guests want to return to the house and to the extraordinary beautiful Chianti.
We look forward to welcoming you all!
Many thanks, Marina and Roberto
This was a great villa in the Chianti region. The villa suited our group of six. The location was ideal for visiting Siena, Florence and surrounding towns. Roberto responded immediately to any questions we had. A welcome basket was wonderful, supplying any immediate breakfast or snack needs. The wine was a pleasant surprise also.
Be sure to follow Roberto's written instructions to the villa. GPS gets you close but his instructions are needed! Would definitely recommend.
This is a lovely villa with services near by, quite, well stocked. We had no issues with the operations of the house. Roberto and Marina were amazingly helpful with local sightseeing arrangements and even helped Texans navigate the Italian rail system. We have visited the larger towns in Italy and were seeking a rural Tuscany wine and food experience, this place more than met our expectations.

Charming Villa in a Corner of Tuscany Worth Exploring
Our family of 5 had a lovely stay in Roberto & Marina’s charming villa. The property description is very accurate and Roberto & Marina’s communication is excellent. There are already many accolades for their welcome basket and all are well deserved - truly makes the entry smooth and easy. The pool is crisp and clean and walks to the delightful town of San Gusmè are a must. We enjoyed the fantastic restaurant options in Castelnuovo Berardenga, and great proximity to the lovely Felsina winery. Grazie Roberto e Marina!

Thank David for the nice words on our house and the area. Roberto and I love San Gusmè as well , we especially enjoy the breathtaking view walking from the house to it and, we don't miss the opportunity of partecipating to the many events that this charming village offers throughout the year. Many thanks,Marina and Roberto
We stayed a week. Perfect organisation, well equipped house. Excellent and very quiet location. Very friendly and helpful owner. Lots of local information provided. Only drawback was the pool, which is a shared one 3 min footwalk away - didn't recognize this before. The pool is excellent though. Usable after 10 o clock ( there is a robot cleaning from 7-10).

About the host
Hosted by Roberto and Marina Terrone
Why they chose this property
Lovers of the countryside , my wife and I for many years were looking for a special place for a vacation home. In 1999 we had the good fortune to find and purchase La Casa del Poggio, this corner of paradise where we spend most of our spare time. Hoping to retire there someday, now we enjoy sharing with our guests what we consider a marvelous treat. The beautiful Villa Arceno wine and olive oil Estate is the setting of our villa where we feel at home, in peace and relaxation but also surrounded by the amazing Tuscan environment with its immense history, culture and traditions.
