The Highlight of our trip to Italy!

So many times, one is disappointed by the reality of a booking, but Arco al Poggio exceeded our expectations, and then some! From the moment we pulled up to the apartment we knew we had arrived at someplace special. Gaia made us feel right at home and I must say that the welcome basket and fridge full of food was a blessing after traveling for 20+ hours. Our family stay was for a week, and during that time we only had only two days of nice weather, but the woodstove in the apartment kept us cozy. The kitchen was amazing, with top of the line pots and pans, which allowed me to try "home cooked" regional recipes. The property is just a stone's throw from the charming village of San Gusme', which serenaded us with its church bell daily. Be sure to have dinner at nearby Osteria alla Villa... let them know your staying at Arceno Rentals when you make your reservation for a great table, great food and wonderful service. Gaia was very responsive to our questions, and provided a wireless hotspot when storms knocked out local service. The apartment was well-appointed with games and movies, which helped during the bad weather. A grocery store is located minutes away in Castelnuovo Berardenga, along with a self-serve gas station. Can't overstate how much we enjoyed our stay... frankly, if the apartment wasn't already booked, we would have stayed another week and skipped Rome. Thanks, Arceno Rentals.. we hope to be back someday!

Nice setting spoilt by bug bites

Positives Good setting Nice swimming pool Great views Well equipped with wine & food on arrival Negatives No air conditioning - which was needed during our stay (but to be fair was not listed in amenities beforehand) Cleanliness not to a standard expected in general (sofa in particular) Overnight bug bites leading to infection ruined the experience

Tuscan Oasis

Our group of two couples looking for a true Tuscan experience of a lifetime found “il pogglio” an amazing home away from home. Its farmhouse charm is intoxicating - from the inside layout, to the veranda, the outside amenities (pool, gardens, vineyards), and most especially the views to the hills and distant mountain peaks. We spent 8 days exploring the area from Siena to Montepulciano and everything in between. We highly recommend Cresti’s just a few miles southwest for an awesome Chianti wine tasting treat. Then walk to the tree-studded hilltop that is their label/logo and discover the ancient pyramid - not in any of our guidebooks. Anna & Gaia (our concierge) were a joy to work with. The villa was sparkling clean and well provisioned throughout our stay. We would rate the accommodations and management team a 10 out of 10 and eagerly await our return. Ciao!!!

Luxurious apartment in a great location. Really enjoyed walks and cycle rides round the estate and in the local area. Very comfy bed, very high quality crockery and glassware, great view from the loggia and garden. Brilliant hamper, wine and drinks. Recommend 100%

About the host

Hosted by Anna Crawford, Arceno Rentals Club

Anna and James Ross found home in Arceno some twenty years ago and have never left this little piece of paradise. Having busy lives in the cosmopolitan cities of London and Milan, they enjoy the serenity and tranquillity that Arceno and Tuscany offer.
As founders of Arceno Rentals Club, born out of their own experience in renting their property as a holiday rental, they aim to make their Guests feel as welcomed and contented in their Tuscan home as they do and enjoy the charms and experiences of the true Tuscan lifestyle.

Why they chose this property

THE ESTATE OF VILLA ARCENO
The estate of Arceno is 1000 hectares of forest, vineyards, olive groves, cypress avenues, dotted with traditional farmhouses 'the Casali', of which, some are enigmatic ruins awaiting restoration.
The 'Villa' of the estate dates from the 16th century with its own chapel, romantic park and lake. Its original owners would have managed the estate directing the workers who once lived in the Casali.
Casanova once a working Casale is now with modern benefits for those who wish to relax and enjoy the stunning views of the Chianti.

What makes this property unique

The region is stuffed with history, art, food and wine. With Italy’s excellent road network, in Tuscany Florence, San Giminiano, le Crete, Pienza, Montalcino, Cortona, Arezzo and in Umbria Perugia, Assisi, Gubbio and Todi are within easy reach for day trips.
Restaurants, wine tours, visits to the nearest towns and hamlets in Tuscany to breath in art and history, sports and more.

Around Arceno, the nearby little towns offer all kind of Italian cooking, from the traditional “trattoria” that offers the most typical Tuscan food to a Michelin starred restaurant.
A favourite restaurant is ‘La Bottega del Trenta’ in Villa a Sesta for a fantastic fine food experience and a warm welcome by Hélène the owner.

While Arceno is blessed by fantastic wines produced on the estate, in the surrounding territory there are some other wine producers whose mantra is “excellency”. A visit to these cellars and vineyards cannot go amiss during a vacation in Tuscany.

During the year the territory offers events whose roots stem from the past. The famous ‘Palio’ horse race is the main event in Siena held twice annually on 2nd July and the 16th August.
Some of the experiences to live in full are in May the “Millemiglia” through Siena, an ancient car racing from north to south of Italy and making a stop in Piazza del Camp, in October the “Eroica”, a cycling race inspired bu the values of a noble sport as interpreted in the past and the “Ecomaratona” a marathon that runs through the vineyards of Arceno.
When visiting Siena around these dates, Arceno Rentals Club can arrange the purchase of tickets, for an ‘unparalleled experience'!

A car or a small van for bigger groups are necessary to travel around and all areas of the estate are reached by ‘strade bianche’, literally, white roads which are unpaved. Although most are public these roads are quiet, allowing walking, cycling and jogging in peace along with horseriding. The area is also popular with cyclists and motorcyclists.
