Mooie rustige locatie in de bergen
Heerlijke rustige locatie met alles erbij wat je nodig hebt. Keuken met oven, goede bedden en badkamer en lekkere stoelen in de tuin. Plus een zwembad dat je deelt met de andere gasten. De weg ernaartoe is wel smal maar goed te doen, je went er aan.

An absolute gem set in Tranquil Surroundings.
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.

Luogo molto rilassante e tutto ben tenuto
La tenuta ove è ubicata la casa è vasta ed immersa nel verde, con un grande giardino recintato ad uso esclusivo. La piscina è anch'essa contornata dalla natura, ed ubicata in un ampio giardino, con una frequentazione dei vari ospiti discontinua (a volta eravamo soli, a volte con altri ospiti, massimo una decina). La casa dove abbiamo soggiornato, un vecchio fienile del 500 ristrutturato, è spaziosa, fresca ed accogliente, dotata di tutto quanto serve (tranne la lavastoviglie). Le due camere da letto (una matrimoniale ed una con due letti singoli) sono separate da una porta a vetri, con una grande tenda, che non garantisce una grandissima privacy. Luogo adatto a chi cerca riposo e tranquillità, immerso nel verde: assoluto relax! Location che, sia pur isolata, permette in 15 minuti di raggiungere il primo paese (Londa) dotato di vari negozi e piccoli supermercati. I proprietari sono molto gentili ed ospitali, pronti a risolvere ogni eventuale contrattempo. Consigliato a chi cerca la quiete e la natura, e come base per escursioni nei bellissimi luoghi toscani.

Delightful hideaway
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.

Stunning location - photos do not do it justice!
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
