Giardino - apt. 1

Merci pour ce magnifique séjour passé dans votre proprieté. Depuis ce lieu nous avons pu découvrir votre merveilleuse région et déguster vos délicieux produits… Baignades à Castiglion della Pescaia, shopping à Siena et Arezzo, promenades dans la Toscane pastorale. Météo merveilleuse, ambiance chaleureuse, bref: que du plaisir! (Suisse)
Your apartments are a wonderful location for trips around surrounding Tuscany. Thank you for your hospitality! (U.S.A.)
Thanks for a delightful stay! We loved exploring Montepulciano and coming home to relax in this cosy apartment. We visited a lot - what a marvellous area of the world! We look forward to return visit before long. (U.S.A.)
Bella Montepulciano! We greatly enjoyed the town with its fine restaurants, historic sites, scenic views and friendly people. The apartment is very comfortable, the garden lovely… We hope to return some day! (U.S.A.)
We have enjoyed staying in your beautiful apartment, which has a wonderful view of the area of Montepulciano. We have also enjoyed the wonderful fruits from your garden, taking part in the festivals of the town, savour the local cuisine and taste the wonderful wine… We hope to come back again next year. (India, Assam)
Your villa was recommended to us by a friend. There were no negative comments, and we understand why: centrally located, well furnished, and beautiful grounds made our two weeks very enjoyable… (Canada)

Was für ein Urlaub! Die Toscana in grün und mit gelegentlichem Regen bei angenehmen Temperaturen. Dazu ein intensives Sprachtraining mit viel Spass im "Il Sasso". Auch unsere Kinder haben es sehr genossen. Hier ist alles großartig. Wir kommen sicher zurück, wenn wir können. Danke für alles! (Deutschland)

…The apartment is beautiful, the garden spectacular, Montepulciano is a “bellissimo” city and we will definitely be back to visit again. Thank you so much for making our Tuscan vacation extra-special… (U.S.A.)
A beautiful thank you - grazie mille! - for a lovely stay. We’ll be back! (Sverige/Belgique)
Thank you for clearing the snow for our arrival. It is now hard to imagine how it was, in this spring-like temperature! The apartment was a superb retreat from our days at “Il Sasso”. (England)
Kiel neforgesebla estis la mallonga restado en Montepulciano! Dankon al vi, Margherita kaj Giorgio, kiuj gxinebligxis! (U.S.A.)
Our last night here! We had a great stay in apt 1, and our friends loved it as well (this is our second stay in your lovely apartments, first time was in #3). Weather was cool but mostly sunny and clear, and we took some great sightseeing trips. We just love Italy and hopefully will be back again! (U.S.A.)
We have stayed in apts. 1-2-3-4 and enjoyed each one, as each has its special charm. Thank you for your gracious hospitality and we look forward to returning next year. Aloha! (U.S.A.)
… The apartment was perfect in every way, from the lovely bed linen in the cozy bedroom, to the well equipped kitchen and dining room. Having laundry facilities was a real plus, and the wi-fi connection worked so easily, enabling us maintain contact with family and send pictures along each day. Last but not least, the beautiful and lovingly cared for gardens… (U.S.A.)
We loved our time here in apt.1, perfect for two couples to enjoy the surrounding gardens. It was a fittering way to end our month long trip in Italy as we celebrated our 45 anniversaries. Hope to return some day! (U.S.A.)
Wir durften eine Woche eure Gastfreundschaft in diesem schönen Appartement und dem wundervollen Garten mit den herrlichen Früchten genießen… Es grüßen euch ganz herzlich, und wir kommen gerne wieder! (Deutschland)
We spent a marvellous time here, thanks to your beautiful apartments (apt. A first,  then apt.1) which we liked very much. We hope that we will meet up again some day… (Schweiz)
A beautiful setting to celebrate a dear friend’s special birthday: breathtaking views, great food and delicious wines! (Australia & England)
이 멋진 토스카나에서의 하룻밤을 영원히 잊지 못할 거에요! (South Korea)
Grazie di tutto! Appartamento bellissimo, piacevole giardino, due settimane di relax… (Deutschland)
Thank you so much for a memorable 5 weeks. The apartment exceeded our expectations and the setting is incomparabile…! (Canada)
This was our 2nd visit here and it was every bit as wonderful as the first visit: our ideal spot for a relaxing vacation! It is so quiet, with the exception of birds singing or church bells ringing in the distance. The beds are so comfortable, the house spotless: we wish we could stay a longer time…! (U.S.A.)
Während 10 Tagen durfte wir die liebevoll und sympathische Wohnung n.1 geniessen. Es war für uns ein Ort der Wärme, der Ruhe und des Friedens. Wir fühlten uns zu Hause! (Schweiz)

Vielen Dank für die wunderbare Zeit, die wir in Ihrem Appartment erleben durften. Wir werden diese Perle im Herzen Italiens gern unseren Freunden zuhause weiterempfehlen. Alles Gute! (Deutschland)

Dopo aver così tanto sentito parlare di voi, abbiamo finalmente avuto il piacere di venire a Montepulciano. Per noi è stato un piacere immenso essere stati in questo paradiso, e speriamo di poterci tornare presto… (Italia)
… We loved your apartment, it was the perfect place and it had everything we needed. Next time maybe we can stay two weeks – or even a month would be nice. We all felt we had come home every night, and the old streets and buildings of the town are something right out of a story book… (U.S.A.)
Apt.1 was everything that we could have wanted, from the beautiful decor to the marvelous landscape of the gardens that we viewed through the windows. Montepulciano itself is a magnificent town with picture perfect vistas around every turn of the cobblestoned streets.
As much as we are looking forward to the remainder of our Italian holiday, we know that nothing will compare to our stay here! (U.S.A.)
Wonderful apartment and base to see and experience the Tuscan countryside. Getting to the apartment the first time was an experience that will not be forgotten!
Great location for exploring Montepulciano. Thanks for a great week! (U.S.A.)
It took us about 35 hours to get here from Australia… it was worth it! A lovely town, beautiful apartment and gracious hosts. Thank you! (Australia)

Nagyon jól éreztük magunkat Nálatok. Szép volt minden, a város gyönyörű, a toszkán vidék mesés. Köszönünk szépen mindent! (Magyarország)

Spȩdziliśmy w Montepulciano wspaniały czas zwiedzając okolice, samo miasteczko oraz ciesząc siȩ wygodą oraz klimatem tego niezwykłego apartamentu. Gorąco dziȩkujemy (Polska) 

Our family had a wonderful stay in Montepulciano. We appreciated all your good advice on local sights, and hope to return someday! (U.S.A.)
Finalmente sono riuscita a tornare con immenso piacere a Montepulciano. Lo desideravo tanto, sia per una questione affettiva, sia perché è un posto splendido! Il giardino, l’orto, gli appartamenti: è tutto bellissimo e curatissimo… (Italia)
…apt. 1 was everything and more than we hoped for, combining elegance and comfort. We loved having breakfast in the garden, and unwinding there with a glass of wine after a busy day. Montepulciano is the perfect location for a visit to Tuscany! (U.S.A.)
What a wonderful stay we have had, for 3 ½ weeks, in this lovely apartment. Although it rained most of the time, the gardens were still enjoyed. It’s a wonderful, happy, relaxing spot and we have enjoyed it immensely. Many thanks to our lovely hosts – never interfering but always most helpful and welcoming. We will highly recommend this place to anyone coming to Montepulciano! (U.S.A.)
Thank you so much! (and for the wi-fi modem, too…) (U.S.A.)
The town is beautiful, the location ideal, the grounds enjoyable… (Canada)
Herzlichen Dank für alles. Es war wunderschön! (Deutschland)
… Apt. #1 was ideally set up for the four of us. We had plenty of room in which to spread out, and also it allowed us to have other family members from apt. #2 join us for dinner. The day trips were marvellous, as well as the panoramic scenery – memories we will cherish forever… (Canada)
…We are leaving tomorrow, and are so sad. Montepulciano is a lovely town – so quaint and magnificent at the same time. Our apartment was in a perfect location, and very comfortable! We’ll definitely recommend it to friends and family… (U.S.A.)
Bellissima la nostra vacanza, organizzata per caso all’ultimo momento!... Ci siamo trovati benissimo: una famiglia deliziosa che mette a disposizione un angolo altrettanto delizioso di Toscana, con i suoi colori, i suoi profumi… Lasciamo questi posti con la consapevolezza di volerci tornare al più presto… (Italia)
?????????? (India)
Grazie! Danke schön! Thanks! (Deutschland - China)
From the youngest (7) to the oldest (79), we all thank you for your gracious hospitality. It has been a wonderful experience for us to stay here and spend time in this beautiful area… (U.S.A)
Matrimonio di Marie Hélène. Grazie di questo ritorno in famiglia... del vostro giardino con le farfalle bianche, e dell’orto con i lamponi!
…Come mi è difficile andare via…
…Tutto bellissimo e reso anche affettuoso dal clima Bracci, inarrivabile! (Italia)
7 ans après, nous avons retrouvé avec plaisir ce joli appartement pensé pour le comfort de ses habitants; et aussi, bien sûr, l'accueuil particulier des propriétaires!... Que de choses à découvrir ou à redécouvrir: oui, nous reviendrons en Toscane pour poursuivre ce périple de village en village, car à chaque pas il y a de la beauté...
Nos amis nous avaient concocté un programme d'enfer, mais nous fûmes pas loin du Paradis... (France)
Apt. 1 was perfect, and it lived up to the many great reviews on Slow Travel. It is so easy to relax here, and the garden is so beautiful as well as the surrounding countryside. My husband, daughter and son-in-law, we all want to come back to Poggiolo…! (U.S.A.)
... More beautiful than I ever dreamed it would be. Watching the birds and seeing the trees come to life was wonderful! When I go home it will just be early spring, so I’ll always remember this as my year of two springs… (U.S.A.)

Grazie mille per una settimana meravigliosa e per l’opportunità di introdurre la mia amica M. a  Montepulciano. Che bell’appartamento – che bella vista – che bella Italia! (U.S.A.)
...We truly enjoyed every day. It was like going back in time, coming from the States! An experience we will never forget! (U.S.A.)

We had a wonderful time. We loved the apartment and Montepulciano. Thank you! (U.S.A.)
...The apartment is appointed with such quality attention to detail, we were able to relax from the moment we arrived. I will definitely write a wonderful review in Slow Travel, and will heartily recommend Il Poggiolo to everyone I know! (U.S.A.)
We enjoyed every aspect of staying in apt.1 - the fine appointments of the facility far exceeded our expectations! We used the apt. as a base for day trips, but also to enjoy Montepulciano, where every turn, every weather condition and every face presented photo opportunities. With all of the memories of our first voyage to Italy, il Poggiolo will be our fondest! (U.S.A.)
… The apartment is lovely and every detail has been thought of. And Montepulciano is so picturesque! We won’t forget the views out over the Tuscan countryside, the beautiful buildings, the charm of unique doorways and balconies filled with flowers - and the occasional cat. It feels very special to live in our own mediaeval city for a while!... (U.S.A. - England)
Thank you for the use of your lovely apartment and for your warm welcome and explanations. We were very happy and loved Montepulciano… We read about il Poggiolo on a travel forum, and I will be adding my praises when I get home! (Australia)
A wonderful week passed too fast in this beautiful town. We spent a big anniversary with all our children, grand-children and great-grand-children, placed  in 4 apartments. Everybody enjoyed their small “homes”, feeling like living in a castle… (Danmark)
We have truly found Paradise! Your apartment is perfect – the location (in the heart of town) – the garden (for our morning coffee) – and the fruit from your trees (plums have never tasted so good!)… We hope to come back, and even are thinking about how to retire here in 20 years… (Canada)
Words cannot describe the beauty of this place. We had one of the most memorable weeks of our lives! Thank you for your warm hospitality! (U.S.A.)
A wonderful  experience! We especially enjoyed the garden – fresh plums, and our daughter playing in the grass… (U.S.A.)
It was a pleasure to be “gastoj” in apt.1: vicolos and Piazza Grande on the one hand, and the fragrant peace of the garden on the other, in addition to incredible views from every window. We couldn’t have asked for a better location!... (U.S.A.)
It was an adventure getting here in the darkness of night, but we arrived safely! The house is wonderful and the city is beautiful. We had a wonderful time! (U.S.A.)
Brave! We enjoyed our week in Montepulciano and in particular this wonderful apartment. Tanti auguri e ci vediamo! (U.S.A.)
Grazie mille, avete una bella casa e un giardino molto tranquillo! Era stato un tempo buonissimo, e forse andremo prossimo anno, speriamo! (Australia)

Another wonderful 12 days in our “other home”! It’s amazing how quiet it is here while only steps away from “molti turisti”… (U.S.A.)
… Montepulciano exceeded our expectations in every way, and will always be a treasured memory and a place high on our list of towns we would love to return to. Be assured we will spread the word to all our friends… (Australia)
 Breathtaking!... Wish there was a way to package all of Montepulciano and take it home with us. We are so glad our friends told us about this lovely place… (U.S.A.) 
We were very excited about coming to stay once again. We brought our dear friends with us, and they were as delighted as us with the apartment. Beautiful Tuscany… I cannot find words thrilling enough to describe! (U.S.A.)
Great house – lovely town – excellent holiday! (England)
We knew Montepulciano would be the perfect place to spend the last 9 weeks of our year long sojourn in Italy… What a pleasure it has been to watch spring arrive in your garden, accompanied by the wonderful sounds of birdsong and churchbells… (U.S.A.)
Thank you for a wonderful 5 days in Tuscany. This apartment and town served as a perfect base to explore this beautiful region. We will remember this trip forever! Thanks and ciao! (U.S.A.)

Our stay here was perfect! The lovely large kitchen/living room is so light and open to the view of Tuscan countryside. The bedrooms are confortable and pretty. Thank you, most of all, for your warm hospitality… (U.S.A.)
Our stay in Montepulciano was wonderful in all aspects: the apartment, the food, the wine, the hill towns, and your very warm hospitality. All of Tuscany is truly beautiful!... (U.S.A.)
Ci piace molto Montepulciano e il vostro appartamento ha contribuito a un soggiorno perfetto. Vi ringraziamo! (U.S.A.)
This lovely apartment felt like home the moment we stepped in… We hardly thought of home, this became home! The lush garden and trees soothed us after busy days of touring, and the lacy bed linen were a luxurious touch at night… (U.S.A.)
Beno familia, eskertu nahi dizuegu izan duzuen harreragatik. Oso goxo-goxo pasa ditugu bi egun hauek izugarria den etxe honetan. Ederki jan, ederki edan eta zuen presentziaz disfrutatu dugu, ohore bat izan da bene-benetan. Badakizue non gauden, beraz nahi duzutenean pasa zaitezte gu ikustera, ados? Edo bestela zezenen aurrean korrika egitera. Muxu haundi bat eta eskerrik asko denagatik. (Euskadi, España)

Our dream of spending time in Tuscany was even more wonderful than we had hoped! Your gracious and helpful personalities made us feel at home. The apartment is very spacious and well appointed. We will recommend it to friends! (Canada)

Thank you for a great holiday. The apartment was just perfect, so handy to the lovely town... We will certainly recommend it to our friends that also love Tuscany! (England)
Tuscany has been so friendly and welcoming as our gracious hosts... We leave with rich memories and the hope we will be so gracious to those that visit our country (U.S.A.)
... Our intention was to relax as much as to sight see, and this place satisfied our every desire. Whether we were taking walks through the sunny streets of Montepulciano, or visiting nearby towns, we always looked forward to returning to the coolness of our apartment, or to the garden full of roses... (U.S.A.)
... Your house is so welcoming, the ideal place for many family gatherings while we were here... “Monte” is a beautiful town, and we loved the scenery, so soft and pretty... (Australia)
We’ve had a wonderful and relaxing week in your lovely apt. and in this beautiful town... We hope to return sometime in your ancient surroundings! (U.S.A.)
This is by far the best hill top town of the area, and also the apartment is spacious and tastefully appointed. ...We would have liked to change the locks & stay for ever! (England)

Ci è piaciuto molto, l’appartamento e il giardino... (Österreich)
Montepulciano is beautiful beyond the imagination! We had a splendid time and enjoyed the lovely apartment to come home to – plenty of space for the 5 of us! (U.S.A.)
To say that n° 1 is a home from home would be an understatement!... It remains from M. and myself to say a big thank, or as gaelige (in irish) “Go raibh mèile maith agat”. We intend to return to this beautiful place in the future. (Ireland)
... All of the comforts of home and a wonderful character. We especially enjoyed the beautiful garden under the stars at night. Thanks for a very memorable spot for my husband and I to spend our first anniversary and for my parents to spend their thirtieth. (U.S.A.)

Thank you very much for the fantastic, wonderful week in Tuscany... We enjoyed the beautiful landscape, the romantic old towns and the wine caves. From the first moment we felt at home in your lovely apartment. We’ll surely come again. Grazie! (Deutschland)
We enjoyed our three week stay! With your wonderful apartment as a base, we were able to explore Tuscany. It was always wonderful to “come home to Montepulciano”! We discovered Pienza, Trequanda, Cortona, Siena, Florence... A magical day was spent in Monticchiello, followed by a tour of “La Foce”, with the sky so dramatic after a rain and the “Val d’Orcia” so splendid... (U.S.A.)
We had a wonderful time in your town. The apartment was perfect. Thanks also for all your tips and recommandations. We particularly enjoyed Bagno Vignoni, Montalcino and of course Montepulciano. Little S. wanted to return to the boat on Lago Trasimeno every day... (England)
What a dream vacation! We feel that we are really a part of Tuscany. The apartment was wonderful... We can’t wait to return and will recommend it to others, con mucho gusto! (U.S.A.)

Non ho ancora finito di scoprire e applaudire tutte le comodità e le finezze della vostra casa. Una per tutte: non riesco a lasciarla! (Italia)
...We leave tomorrow with very good memories and intentions of returning... We rode the buses and the trains to nearby cities and towns.

Quel dommage de quitter ce lieu merveilleux... ainsi que ce très bel appartement et ce jardin magnifique. (Deutschland - France)
Quel plaisir, chaque matin, de partir à la découverte... Mais quel plaisir aussi de revenir, chaque soir, dans ce très agréable appartement! (France)
Nous quittons Montepulciano alors que nous avons l’impression d’être à peine arrivés... et donc nous sommes fort désireux d’y revenir bien vite! Cette demeure est belle, personnelle, et on s’y sent vraiment accueillis. (France)
Malheureusement nous devons partir… Nous avons été très contents de ce séjour dans cet appartement. Merci, et peut-être à l’année prochaine! (Deutschland - France)
