14/10/2008 Das Haus ist einfach traumhaft. Romantisch und sehr
gepflegt. Die Aussicht und die Sonnenuntergänge sind nicht
zu überbieten. Der Garten und der Pool sind wunderschön
und gross. Die Familie Rossi ist jederzeit erreichbar und sehr
freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden von Ihnen auch Kulinarisch
sehr verwöhnt (unter anderem haben wir noch nie eine so gute
Lasagne gegessen). Uns ist die Abreise noch nie so schwer gefallen,
wir kamen uns vor, wie wenn wir aus dem Paradies vertrieben würden.
Beckenham, UK POSTED: 30/09/2008 The views
from the villa are amazing. Monica and Iacobo are friendly, welcoming
people. It was wonderful to arrive at the villa and see the dining
table set up for dinner, with a delicious lasagne, wine, olive
oil, cheeses and a pudding. They were always there to give advice
or make reservations at restaurants. They also supplied us with
organic produce from the gardens and home made foccacia.

19/09/2008 Fabulous villa. Attention to detail both inside and
out is first class. The property is very private, quiet and relaxing
The views of Arezzo are spectacular. As are the views from anywhere
on the property. The location was perfect for day trips to Florence,
Siena, and Cortona. Be sure to check out the wonderful little
markets in neighbouring towns. The owners, Iacopo and Monica are
such generous people. The amazing meal that awaited us on our
arrival. Their time and advice on places to visit and restaurants
to try. They even organized a wine tasting trip for our party
to the Chianti area. And with their homegrown produce. We would
find a regular supply of freshly picked strawberries and vegetables
outside the villa during our two week stay, and the best baked
fruit pie ever. We wanted a family reunion to remember, and thanks
to their family and their beautiful villa, ours was perfect.
Washington, USA POSTED: 06/09/2008 The pictures
do not do the villa justice! It was so pretty and the view of
Arezzo was amazing. Monica and Iacopo are the perfect hosts -
they made sure we ate well and were always around if we needed
them. If you go into Arezzo (which everyone should) there is a
great restaurant in the old section on the way to San Francesco
square. It's called "Bacco & Arianna"; and is on
the left side of the street right before the piazza. Cortona was
beautiful and close by! If you follow the wine tour on the villa's
website, DEFINITELY stop in Civitella and eat lunch at L'Antico
Borgo!

The restaurant on the top; Badia Pomaia was fantastic with exellent
food and wine. The prices were a bit high.It was a beautiful surrounding

was good exercise.We have no concerns we just had a wonderful

villa., the views are amazing and your hospitality was most appreciated,
the fresh vegetables ,strawberries and cake were delicious as
was the welcoming Lasagne wich you kindly left for us on our arrival.

Hannibal, USA POSTED: 16/10/2007 Our villa
experience was everything we wanted it to be. The location of
the villa is great, it allows for easy day trips to other Tuscan
sites. The hosts of the villa are excellent and can offer many
useful suggestions as far as sightseeing and resturants. We hope
to return and relive the experience again. Iacopo and Monica are
wonderful hosts and will do what ever they can to make your experience
a wonderful one. The setting of the villa is Beautiful and quite
private. No concerns to pass on.

The villa is gorgeous. It's clean and comfortable with incredible
charm and ambiance. The setting is fantastic and it infuses you
with a sense of warmth, comfort and well-being. It feeds your
soul. The hosts - the wonderful Monica and Iacopo, feed not only
your soul but your palate as well with their scrumptious meals
and fresh offerings from their garden. They were so helpful and
welcoming and incredibly generous with their time and attention
to detail. They provided us a most wonderful, memorable experience.
They are a blessing and a treasure. My advice would be to explore
the surrounding areas (incredible ancient hilltop towns and scenic
drives - including the mountains to the East - particularly La
Verna - but to leave suffiecient amount of time to return to Podere
Pomaia to enjoy the beautiful experience it offers - watching
the beautiful sunsets, drinking in the gorgeous scenery while
drinking their delicious wine, and drinking in the incredible
beauty the villa and landscape provide. Heavenly!
New York, USA POSTED: 28/08/2007 If you're
flying into Florence, you can either rent a car and drive (it
will take about 1.5 hours) or take the train to Arezzo and then
a cab to the villa. We highly recommend having at least a few
cars in your party if you're interested in doing any sight seeing
- Cortona and Siena are great places for day trips, but are at
least an hour from the villa by car. The train is a great option
for guests arriving at different times - also, you won't be able
to fit 4 people and their luggage in most rental cars. If you
have the option of renting GPS along with your car, definitely
do! It cost us about 50 euros for the week and took a lot of the
stress out of navigating the local streets.
The villa itself was fantastic - wonderfully restored and very
private. Perfect setup for either a group of friends or a family
trip. Monica and Iacopo were wonderful hosts, they made great
suggestions of restaurants and places to visit. We highly recommend
scheduling dinners at the villa. We did one on the night that
we arrived that was prepared for us and waiting in the villa -
we just had to heat it up and eat - it was great to not worry
about what to do for dinner after a long day of travel. We also
had a sit down dinner in the "Boghettina" 4 courses
with fresh pasta and vegetables from the garden. Grazie!!

27/08/2004 Just wanted to follow up after our trip... the house
is great, better than on the internet (which does not happen often)
and Jacopo and family were great!We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
& will recommend to others. We enjoyed the wine & cheese
tasting, an evening of pizza making and a traditional Tuscany
dinner - they are all so worth it!Other than the last bit all
the planning/organization was very efficient and went smoothly.Thanks,
Julie
