We looked for a property that had Tuscan charm and Poggio Bello did not disappoint us. The villa comfortably accommodated 4 adults having 2 ensuited bedrooms that were located at opposite ends of the house. The kitchen was very well equipped and all appliances worked well.
The views of the countryside were relaxing and the setting was tranquil.
The town of Camucia was a 12 km drive with all the amenities we required such as a large Co-op with extended hours, restaurants, caffes, a weekly Thursday market, train station and, many other shops and services.
Day trips by car to Assisi, Orvieto and, Civetta, were easily made. Train connections to Florence were also good.
Most helpful was Simonetta and her family. The family was very friendly and helped us with any inquiries or requests we had. The property was well managed and we would recommend it to others without hesitation.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

We were in Poggiobello 4 weeks in May and it was wonderful stay. Excellent and cozy accommodation with very friendly attitude of owners Simonetta and Pepe. You can do many trips in the circle not more than 100 km (Firenze, Siena, Assisi, Orvieto, Perugia, Cortona, Montepulciano, Montalcino, ...). Excellent conditions for bicycling (not difficult routes) - 4 mountain bikes available free. Large pool close to the olive garden, quiet surroundings, relax. Visit vineyards of Villa Loggia and taste their delicious wines.
I hope that we will spend more weeks there in the future.
