Our Stay at Il Poggio dell'EremitaAn Idyllic Retreat in the Italian CountrysideIl Poggio dell'Eremita exceeded all expectations and provided the perfect escape from the bustling cities of Italy. We chose to stay at Casa Eremita, and it proved to be an outstanding decision for anyone seeking tranquility and relaxation.Comfortable AccommodationsThe house was immaculately clean and equipped with everything we could possibly need, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free stay. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making it easy to settle in and feel at home.Exceptional HospitalityFabrizio, our host, was exceptional. His warm and attentive approach greatly enhanced our experience. As we had arrived via a private car, Fabrizio kindly offered to take us grocery shopping, making sure we had all our essentials for the duration of our stay.Serene SurroundingsEvenings were spent taking leisurely strolls up the hill to the quaint town of Farnatella, allowing us to fully appreciate the peaceful setting. Each morning, we woke to the beautiful sound of birds singing and breathed in the fresh, clean air—a truly rejuvenating experience.Unforgettable ExperienceIl Poggio dell'Eremita is a destination that will not disappoint. From the serene environment to the thoughtful hospitality and comfortable amenities, it is a place we highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the beauty of the Italian countryside.

This was the perfect spot for our Tuscany 4 day visit. Put us right in the middle of where we wanted to visit.The house is exactly what we wanted for a visit. It’s not a 5 star luxury resort. It is house that we envisioned while visiting Tuscany. Very clean, Fabrizio is great (and he has Google translate down ;-) ).

Our stay at Il Poggio dell'Eremita was nothing short of magical! Its a beautifully appointed home, very clean and comfortable! The location is breathtaking, surrounded by mountains, olive groves and ancient walled cities. Our hosts were gracious and kind, available to answer questions, but also allowed privacy. Fabrizio went above and beyond to help us with a car issue, essentially making it a non-problem. Tranquil, peaceful, beautiful and convenient to many places of interest, I could not give a higher endorsement. We hope for the opportunity to return again to this amazing place!

The most amazing garden getaway

Stayed here for five days recuperating from busy days in Rome. The garden was absolutely spectacular so quiet and quaint beautiful Italian love spending time in the comfortable chairs making home cooked dinner having wine visiting with Orchard cats as they cruise through the property. The host was unbelievably kind and generous loved the option of being able to purchase wine on the property without having to go into town. Speaking of town is about a 10 minute drive away Several cute places to eat and grocery stores. A fantastic little place in the middle of the country side centrally locatedcould not recommend this more. Cannot wait to come back again!!!

lovely villa

Fabrizio's place is just gorgeous. When we arrived, he gave us a detailed tour of the gardens and house, both of which are beautiful and have all conveniences. We enjoyed walking to the small and lovely town of Farnatella, and driving a few minutes to the gorgeous Lucignano. While he and his wife do live in the downstairs of the house, they have a separate entrance and were respectful of our privacy while we were there. I hope to return for a longer stay!

Rustic and Beautiful!

Poggio dell'Eremita was the last stop of our month in Tuscany and it was absolutely the most relaxing. Nestled amongst olive trees, the villa was super clean and so lovely. Comfortable seating, comfortable bed, beautiful decor, and multiple places outside to sit, read, and eat. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking, including bottles of wine available to purchase, and we also ate out at a great nearby restaurant Scroccazucche, recommended by our wonderful hosts Fabrizio and Nicola. We enjoyed a great tour of the gardens surrounding the house and got introduced to (rooster) Trump and his chickens, who were very quiet and polite and gave us 3 fresh eggs. We loved eating breakfast at the patio table outside the kitchen and relaxing in the afternoon on the covered back porch. The stairs to the bedroom areas are narrow and steep, but have good handrails and lighting. Upstairs there are screened windows that allow the breeze and an AC when it's too warm. Outside the bedroom is a rooftop deck with an amazing view across the valley and surrounding hills. Drive a little past where google directs, go around the next corner and look for the "Eremita" sign on the left where you can park your car...you won't regret a stay at this sweet villa! Fabrizio and Nicola are delightful hosts!

Magical Oasis in the heart of Tuscany

Right from the moment we arrived, Fabrizio was the most gracious, warm and welcoming host. We were tempted to record his uniquely charming welcome! The villa is even better than the photos! Fabrizio doesn’t speak English but communicates in all languages easily with a translation app., and his son is available and very responsive if you want someone to communicate with in English. Fabrizio provided an excellent selection of local wines on site at extremely reasonable prices. Every one we tried was great. Great restaurant with the best pizza in Italy 5 min drive away. Hard to mention all of the pluses: a different terrace for every time of the day, including a jaw dropping view from the BR terrace, patio with grill & fresh herbs to pick, absolutely beautiful gardens full of olive trees, jasmine, giant rosemary bushes, artichokes, strawberry lined pathways…, soft marble floor throughout (cooling and great underfoot), comfortable bed & linens…and did we mention the view? Many distant Tuscan hill towns visible including Cortona. We were sad to leave and would love to return someday!! Grazie mil Fabrizio & familia!!

Amazing Villa in the Heart of Tuscany

The host was very welcoming upon arrival and gave us a great tour of the property along with some area history. Such a peaceful setting. Really enjoyed the patio upstairs off the bedroom. Great views of the terrain by day and fantastic views of the stars at night. Very close to the enchanting villages on hilltops nearby (Rigamagno and Scrofiano).

Perfect Villa in Tuscany!

We absolutely loved our time in Fabrizio’s Tuscan villa. It was beautifully situated among an olive grove and we loved sitting out in the outdoor area enjoying a glass of wine. The local restaurant had incredible pizza and homemade pasta. Fabrizio was a gracious host who made himself available when we needed and was very accommodating. We will definitely be coming g back!

The Perfect Tuscan Retreat

From the moment that we arrived, each day was a gift. The beautiful villa situated amongst the olive groves was beyond our expectations. From exploring the gorgeous grounds to the fabulous view from the upstairs balcony situated off the Primary suite, we were tempted never to leave this expeptional property. We were welcomed by our host's, Fabrizio and Paula who generously shared tid bits of info about the region which were invaluable to our overall experience. The nearby town has the most amazing restaurant that we frequented and that we also selfishly indulged in for take away to enjoy in the beautiful sunrooom for a romantic dinner for two. Oh, and as an added bonus, the hen on the property just might lay an egg or two for breakfast!! We highly recommend this gorgeous villa. It was clean and tastefully decorated with abundant amenities and so romantic. Do yourselves a favour and book now. We hope to return soon. Ciao! From Rudy and Theresa, Toronto, Canada
