La Poggetta is a great property for a large family gathering or a group of families holidaying together.
The photos do not do the property justice, the house itself, grounds, pool, tennis courts etc are all well cared for and maintained.
As we were 3 couples with 4 young children there was plenty of suitable family rooms to accomodate us all.
Pros:
The villa is in a great location for visiting Siena, Florence and Chianti, San Giminano etc. and there are a few local towns with in a 15 min walk or 5 min drive of the villa.
There is an amazing little kitchen garden, which the owner insisted we avail of during our stay - so we enjoyed the delicious tomatoes, aubergines, lettuce, fresh basil and a range of herbs through out our stay.
As we had very small children it was difficult to go out for an evening meal as group, so we took advantage of the services of Lorenzo the local proprietor of a deli in the next town. He was really part of the highlight of the holiday, he inobtrusively arrived and cooked fabulous local tuscan food, brought different local wines to try and was full of knowledge of the area/vineyards/outlet stores....
He even fixed a small problem with had the cooker. If you want to enjoy a restaurant type meal in the comfort of the villa definately give him a call.
We had a sick child while on our stay and there is an excellent hospital near by which provided a really prompt and helpful service. There was and english speaking doctor and the staff were really friendly.
Cons
The villa is meant to be child friendly and while it is is fully equipped with cots/ high chair etc, if you have adventurous newly walking children there are lots of opens steps and stairs and the pool is very exposed. With a small bit of additional fencing around the pool area to secure access to it and the steps this would be the perfect villa as there is lots of garden for the children to run around in safely.
The owners are lovely and very friendly, although only speak italian so make sure you have your phrase book out when organising times of departure etc!
Overall though we would highly recommend this villa - we thorougly enjoyed our stay here.
