Poggio ai Gelsi

The hotel looks out over rolling hills and vineyards, with an infinity pool, and the location is stunning. There’s no reception when you arrive, so check-in could be easier. Since there are no nearby shops or restaurants and taxis cost a lot, having some food or wine available on site could make the stay even better. A lovely hotel in a wonderful area.

Watching the sunrise from the pool was lovely, and the view felt surreal. This little house is so peaceful, and we really enjoyed the pool outlook and our stay. The host was friendly and welcoming, our room was spacious, and the water was hot. Everything was great except the slow Wi-Fi, which we couldn't really use.

The scenery took our breath away, with olive trees stretching across the landscape as far as you could see. This agriturismo is unbelievably beautiful. We stayed in Lavanda, a two-bedroom apartment, and it was very clean and had a full living area with a stove, small fridge, kettle, coffee machine, microwave, plates, cups, and cooking and eating utensils. It was easy to get groceries and cook; the store is about a 15-minute drive away, near Montepulciano. The pool was clean, though cold. Luca, the caretaker, came by the next day and gave us a box of coffee pods. There's a washer room by the large apartment across from the pool, with drying racks for clothes. The manager contacted us before arrival to arrange everything.

Amodeo and his son Tommaso were so kind and helpful with every request, whether random or important. The villa is cozy inside and has all the service features you'd want in a countryside stay, plus ideal Wi-Fi coverage and a great view. Though it's in the heart of Tuscany, it's tucked away from main roads and noise. A perfect getaway, highly recommended, 10/10.
