Holiday rentals in Poggio alle Mura

Fabulous. Spectacular. Breath taking. Phenomenal. Not sure what other superlatives I can use. Incredible stay at an incredible property with an incredible host in an incredible location. We will be back. Eight of us staying in this beautiful home. San Quirico d’Orcia is an absolute perfect place to stay in Tuscany if you are planning to go to the hill towns. Can’t recommend enough.

I cannot say enough about our trip to Martino’s villa. What a lovely villa in the cute town of San Casciano dei Bagni. We had a great family vacation, enjoying some of the smaller towns and a visit to Montepulciano . We enjoyed Eleanor’s cooking for us two nights- what an amazing chef! Martino was very responsive and helpful when we needed something. I hope we can return one day!

Ilonka & Rob were wonderful hosts & the house was stellar. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - it was incredibly quiet & peaceful - away from the hustle & bustle yet close enough to enjoy several surrounding towns & villages as day trips or for evening dinners. Their home is charming, super clean, & stocked with everything we could possibly need. They even shared fresh fruits & vegetables from their personal garden which we incorporated into our meals when we cooked at home. We enjoyed some nice walks through the mountainside which offer beautiful views & solitude. (Thanks to our hosts for recommending!) We hope to be back when it is cooler - but we did enjoy the pool during the hot afternoons. Until then, we are grateful to have found this gem & for the kindness extended to us by Ilonka & Rob. They answered all our questions, provided helpful recommendations, & were generous with their time - available when needed & happy to socialize but always respecting guest privacy.

Das Haus ist schön und sehr gross. Es liegt etwas ausserhalb von Buonconvento und bietet absolute Privatsphäre. Ein Auto ist von Vorteil. Die Zimmer sind grosszügig, es gibt Mückennetze über allen Betten und genügend Badezimmer und WCs für alle. Generell ist das Haus sehr gut ausgestattet, sowohl in der Küche als auch sonst. Der Pool ist etwas erhöht, schön, gross, mit natürlichem Schatten rundherum und bietet eine herrliche Aussicht auf die umliegende Landschaft. Im riesigen Garten kann man Essen, Verweilen, Spielen... Es gibt sogar einen kleinen Basketball-Court. Aber Achtung: Gleich nebenan gibt es wilde Brombeeren und der Ball kann verloren gehen :) In Buonconvento gibt es einen Coop, eine feine Gelateria und eine gutes Caffé mit den berühmten und feinen Produkten von Le Dolcezze di Nanni. Für eine gute Pizza lohnt sich die Fahrt ins Restaurant Mulinum etwas ausserhalb, sie haben eine eigene Mühle und verarbeiten ihr eigenes Getreide. Wir können das Haus sehr empfehlen.

Barbara’s place was above and beyond our expectations in every way! If you are looking for a place to stay in this general area, don’t hesitate! Barbara was a wonderful host and all the instructions were very clear. The kitchen is very well stocked and we cooked all of our dinners there as we were traveling with a baby. We spent a lot of time hanging out as a family and there was more than enough room for us and both sets of grandparents. The home is very well situated and we loved exploring. There are so many great restaurants in the area. I can’t over state the beauty of the area and the house itself…my family is already dreaming about coming back!

Family of 5 here, 3 small kids. A wonderful stay! We toured surrounding villages in the morning and came back to the pool to beat the heat in the afternoon. The private cooking class with Valentina was the absolute highlight of the trip!

Property is amazing, host so friendly and helpful… Honestly we spent very little time on the property as we were exploring so much of Tuscany during our stay with the lovely location as our home base. But it was so beautiful to wake to every day and come “home” to late every evening :) During our 6 days, we explored Florence, hung out in Siena, hiked Chianti trails, visiting all over from Monteriggioni to San Gimignano to Volterra… and throughout Val d’Orcia from Montepulciano to Pienza , Pitigliano to Serano… and north to Lucca & Pisa. Just wonderful location :) Thank you so much!

What an incredible location!!! Monticchiello is the most quaint and picturesque town nestled in the heart of Tuscany. Walking up to the accommodations feels like a fairy tale - the view of the Val D’Orcia and the medieval tower you walk into, but you are then transported into the most relaxing little apartment. The amenities are wonderful - the attention to detail was not lost on us. We stayed here right after our wedding and it was exactly what we needed. Also, Deb’s Lounge was such a nice place to get breakfast (included!) and we enjoyed some fresh pici pasta for dinner our first night. Would 100% come back!!
