We spent a week at Torre di Vignale and loved it. Everything was as advertised - beautiful garden, imaculate interiors, fully equipped kitchen, outdoor patio with barbeque and of course the gorgeous swimmingpool! The views over the surrounding landscape are fantastic. As most other reviewers has mentioned the drive up to the house may seem intimidating at first try but you get used to it, just dont attempt it with a sports car! The owner and host Paolo is wonderfull, charming and helpfull (although her English skills are close to zero - but that is made up by her great attitude). She even prepared a lovely 4 course dinner for our party of 14 at a very reasonable price. The walk down to the village is about 25min (and 35min back up the hill!) The village has a couple of trattorias/pizzerias, pharmacy, ATM machine and a small allimentari. The drive into Arezzo för shopping takes 20 min (Essalunga supermarket is closest and has a good selection). A day trip to Siena (1 hour) is highly recommended. Also the nearby towns of Citta di Castello and Sansepolcro (about 30 min away) are worth a visit. There are some great wineries to viait in the hills above Arezzo - I can recommend Podere di Pomaio!

We loved everything about Poggio Cuculo. We felt as if we were living an Italian dream during our week here. Nicola was great and able to arrange for cooking as well as connect us with a tour company for our wine tour. We are a family of nine adults and the villa was spacious enough so we could spread out when we wanted but also spend lots of fun time together too. The location in southern Tuscany made it easy to tour from the villa. Arezzo is minutes away so shopping, train, etc were very convenient.

Beautiful place to stay! Had an excellent meal (vegetarian and gluten free) made by Benedetta. Any questions were answered right away. Staff didn’t speak English but was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were just like pictures but the views of Montepulchiano at night were breathtaking. Made me want to move there!

We were here for the second time with our group of friends, again it was fantastic! It's a great house in a beautiful area. looking over the Tuscany hills! Lucignano is such a lovely place. We loved it and we want to come back again.

Our stay at Il Pigionale was one of the highlights of our trip. You really experience the local ‘italian’ feeling. The nature in the area is very beautiful, the accomodation looks juist as in the pictures and is very clean and cosy and the host is very helpful and kind. We recommend staying at Il Pigionale and we will definitely come back!

Dante is in the perfect location: so close to the main attractions and within walking distance of the train station. As for the apartment, it is exactly as described. Communication with Roberto or his family was generally very good, although we had problems with the wifi cutting out which took a while to rectify. Roberto kindly set up a new modem system for us which improved the situation - be mindful that the wifi doesn't reach the bedrooms, though. Overall, though, we loved staying at Dante due to its prime location and spacious living area. Great for students, too!
