Guest Reviews

• hww (8/5): -
• Aleksandra (10/5): - A wonderful stay in a beautiful natural setting. The atmosphere is exceptional, and the hosts are very warm and kind-hearted. We are already looking forward to our next visit!
• Elisa (10/5): Un posto che ti entra nel cuore e da cui è difficile andare via. Samira è semplicemente meravigliosa: dolce, attenta e u - Tutto curato nei minimi dettagli. Una struttura con una forte personalità, capace di raccontare l’anima dei proprietari in ogni angolo. Si percepiscono amore, passione e una straordinaria attenzione verso gli ospiti, che rendono l’esperienza davvero speciale. Niente
• Tamara (10/5): -
• Stéfany (10/5): Fantástico - Ah, o que dizer deste hotel? Extremamente lindo e charmoso — o mais bonito em que já nos hospedamos. Se você quer viver a verdadeira experiência da Toscana, este é o lugar. Os anfitriões, Samira e seu pai, são os melhores — muito atenciosos e acolhedores. Foram apenas dois dias, mas ficarão guardados no meu coração. Tivemos a experiência de jantar no restaurante do hotel, com comidas extremamente deliciosas.
• Emanuele (10/5): -
• Rajna Marija (10/5): I recommend this stay! - We absolutely loved our stay. The staff is incredibly kind and friendly, and they make you feel as if you’re visiting someone’s home rather than staying at a hotel. Every time I arrived, there was a wonderful smell of delicious food in the air, which really added to that cozy, homely atmosphere. The décor is beautiful — a Tuscan farmhouse style that makes you feel like you’re in a movie. Breakfast is very tasty, with a new addition every day, which keeps it interesting. I would definitely recommend trying the 4-course dinner at least once — the whole experience of not knowing what the next dish will be makes it especially exciting and unique. Here is the photo of us with Samira 🫶🏽
• Lisa patrizia (10/5): -
• Rebekah (10/5): A peaceful and memorable stay in a beautiful villa - The villa is beautiful and tranquil. Jamal and Samira were exceptional hosts, sharing great insights into the local area and beyond. We highly recommend having dinner at the villa, the food was absolutely outstanding. It was the perfect end to our trip - thank you for having us! Nothing
• Axel (10/5): Un lieu paisible et plein de surprise en toscane - Le personnel est juste super attentionné et très gentil et plein de bienveillance.
• Sylke (10/5): Angekommen - Die Herzlichkeit und liebevolle Küche, tolles Interieur ♥️
• Ulf (8/5): Trevligt bemötande och bra mat . - Fantastisk service av värdarna. Maten mycket god och spännande. Rummen rena men slitna här och var. Hundar välkomna.
• Andis (9/5): -
• Ayoka (10/5): - Le personnel est aux petits soins! Une télé connectée dans les chambres serait sympa.
• Quentin (10/5): Magnifique - L'accueil, le personnel et surtout le repas du soir
• holly (10/5): The best place to stay in Tuscany! - Everything! Room! Food! Ambiance! Service! It was all amazing N/A
• Emiliano (10/5): -
• Florian (9/5): -
• Marco (6/5): - Struttura immersa nel verde, molto accogliente. Lo staff eccezionale e cordiale. La camera poco pulita e molto molto rustica per non dire altro. La colazione scarsa e industriale, poco appropriata dato il contesto. Al prezzo pagato ci si aspettava molto di più mi dispiace.
• Martina (10/5): Rozhodně doporučuji, hlavně pro ty, kteří by chtěli vyzkoušet pravou Itálii. - Nádherná lokalita a krásné vybavení, cítili jsme se tam velmi dobře a šlo vidět, že je to dělané s láskou. Velmi přátelští a ochotní hostitelé. Výborné jídlo, doporučuji vyzkoušet degustační menu.
• Martina (10/5): Excelente - Todo fue espectacular! El lugar es divino, ideal para descansar y relajarse. Principalmente quiero destacar la hospitalidad de Samira, su padre, y la gente que trabaja con ellos. Nos hicieron sentir como en casa! Volveríamos sin dudarlo!
• Mario (10/5): -
• Veronica (10/5): -
• Monika (10/5): - Vila je prekrasno uređena. Puno pažnje se posvetilo detaljima. Bazen je prekrasan. Osoblje je bilo jako ljubazno i uskužno. Organizirali su nam kušanje vina i sira. Doručak ukusan. Boravili smo dva dana i bas u tom periodu nije radio restoran, što je šteta jer smo morali u obližnje restorane do kojih nam je trebalo pola sata vožnje...
• Jan-Ulrik Hansen (10/5): - Great place, great food, great service. This is how a holiday shall be spend
• Martasn (10/5): Warm and welcoming hosts, excellent surprise dinners, beautiful interior designs - We liked the personal touch of the owners—their warm and welcoming nature, the excellent three-course surprise dinners, the location of the pool, and the quietness of the area, with only occasional cars passing by about 100 meters away. We loved the interior design of the rooms and the overall peaceful atmosphere of the place. We're definitely planning to come back.
• Laurens (10/5): Fantastic stay, great food and go for the cooking class! - The hospitality is excellent. Food fantastic, beautiful villa. Slightly noisy in the rooms.
• Claire (9/5): Superb -
• Sue (9/5): Great holiday location, friendly staff and good swimming pool - Location good for attending nearby wedding. Lovely swimming pool. Evening meal great. Staff very helpful and kind.
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dawn (10/5): Beautiful place, beautiful views and amazing hosts! - It is a beautiful property and Sami and Jamal are the kindest hosts! So very tranquil and would absolutely go back! Nothing
• Luis (9/5): Peaceful place to recharge. Conveniently located to explore Toscany - Peaceful place to recharge. Conveniently located to explore Toscany Bed & bathroom get clean daily however other areas can be done more deeply. Room trash (e.g., bottles) & glasses should be clean on a daily basis.
• Róbert (10/5): Exceptional - We spent wonderful days here. The location of the accommodation is fantastic, characterized by peace and quiet. Many popular destinations can be reached from here, but if you just relax at the hotel, you won't be disappointed either, thanks to the large pool. The dinner that can be ordered is special, I recommend trying it! Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, thank you! A trash can in the room would have been nice, but that's just a small thing.
• Marc (6/5): No es lo que me esperaba - Lugar precioso pero sensación de alquiler de una habitación en una villa, no estar en un hotel. Después del desayuno hay cero servicios, ni bebida ni comida y se está a 15mins en coche de cualquier tienda. La cena carísima para lo que es y es menú fijo (sin saber qué te ponen) y a una hora fija. Los mosquitos insoportables por la tarde/noche, no se podía estar fuera. La piscina preciosa y la gente simpática, sobre todo la chica del desayuno
• Cassandre (9/5): Very Nice people with beautiful place - Animals, horses, big swimming pool, Nice people, Food Mosquitos
• Jane (9/5): Superb -
• Jennifer (7/5): Beautiful, authentic and homely - Samira and her dad are amazing hosts, they take great pride and care in the experience they can give their guests and they've made a very characterful home that they share with the world. The property has an amazing pool and the grounds its on are beautiful too - wild ponies, lots of greenery and flowers. The house itself has a lovely feel to it. The couple of improvements I think would make a big difference is to try and improve the wifi - given the property is not in a town, of an evening we would try to watch a movie which was challenging. The second thing is that our bed wasn't amazingly comfortable. Aside from these couple of things I absolutely love this property - this is my second time back there as it does have a special feel to it
• Laura (2/5): would not go back - nice location -Breakfast was disappointing -There were flies all over the food -The cups at our table we still filled with some of the water from the dinner that we had at that same table the night before, which led me to suspect that no one cleaned our table or the dishes on it -the hotel accidentally overbooked themselves and asked us to leave a day earlier so they could accommodate their new guests -Room was tiny and not the room I requested -bed was uncomfortable, and there were not enough pillows -parking was provided but it was far away from the entrance to the B&B and we had to walk up a long and steep unpaved driveway
• Olli-pekka (6/5): Not so good as expected - Good breakfast Restaurant only serves and offers surprise menu as a food you can get, nothing else. I tried to ask what this surprise menu includes but they did not give this information, they only said that 4 courses high quality menu and do you want to book it or not.. The menu was not good and it was weird food, not typical Tuscany cuisine at all. If I would knew this in advantage, never would book it. Marketing pictures and reality did not macth, the place is not so good how it looks in the marketing pictures..
• Yael (4/5): Very disappointed! - When checked in - both rooms were super small with many deficiencies - they were dirty, main light did not work , handles on dresser was broken , we were given small towels (did not know until the next day that they actually have large towels). We were moved the next morning to better and bigger rooms which were much more convenient. However , these rooms were also not cleaned properly. A dead bug remained in the floor for our whole stay. One day they completely forgot to clean the room. The owner admitted that they have issue with staff. Given that they advertise the place as a chef restaurant expected breakfast to be interesting. It was the same small Buffet with same food every day. Breakfast if offered only from 8:30- 9:30 am. At exactly 9:30 all food is removed. After they set the table , they sweep the floor so the dust goes on the food The chef’s dinner which costs 45Euro per person was good ( not amazing) and was beautifully plated. We had it only on the day of arrival. Samira, ( the owners daughter ) who basically runs the place on a daily basis is friendly and nice. Honestly, she was the best thing about the place. The place has good potential but feels like they try to save everywhere possible. At the end , for all of our inconvenience the owner gave us 50% discount on the one dinner (for 6 days of stay).
• Joseph (9/5): Agriturismo in Chianti - Everything is exceptional. The owner/chef Jamal and his daughter Samira are outstanding! I highly recommend to participate in the cooking class hosted by the Chef. The four course dinner was fantastic. If you need to decompress and have a relaxing vacation in Chianti region, try to visit and book a stay in Villa Poggio Di Gaville. None
• Riwa (10/5): A perfect hidden tuscan gem - Tout!
• Petar (10/5): Exceptional -
• Annamarie (10/5): Your little bit of Tuscan Heaven - This is one of the most beautiful agriturismos in Tuscany! The property is amazingly beautiful, and your hosts, Jamal and Samira, will make you feel like family. This is our second trip to the Villa, and it is nothing short of exceptional. I highly recommend adding the dinners to your stay, as they use regional, fresh, local cuisine. Our trips to Italy will always include a stay at the Villa. Not a thing!
• Marta (10/5): Great trip at Villa Poggio di Gaville - As soon as you enter in the Poggio di Gaville hotel, you instantly feel at home. You are welcomed by the nicest of smiles from the owners and their daughter, who take care of you in a way that is now rare to find. Surrounded by nature, with a very beautiful swimming pool, the hotel offers you the charm of toscan agriturismo experience. What is the absolute best is the cooking of the chef and owner of the place, Jamal: by far the best food we had in Toscani. A fusion of toscan, oriental, and other world flavors in very special recipes curated by the chef through a lifetime of travels. A simplicity combined with an elevation of flavors that are extremely rare. Each meal offered new dishes, well thought of by the chef. The only downside is that the focaccia was SO good that we will never be able to appreciate it anywhere else. Thank you Jamal and Samira for this beautiful experience and for your genuine hospitality, it is rare to find people who still have the passion to share experiences and stories with their guests; we hope to get the chance to cross path again.
• Sophie (10/5): We had the most relaxing time here! Samira and her dad Jamal were so welcoming and the dining experience was absolutely - Me and my partner loved everything about the property! So nice to relax with the pool and outlook from the balcony and the breakfast and dinners were amazing!!! Highly recommend Nothing! But note you definitely need your own car/hire car to get around
• Ciara (10/5): Relaxing stay in a gorgeous villa - Gorgeous villa with incredible surroundings. Had an amazing pool area. The staff were so friendly and the food was top quality. Nothing
• Erika (5/5): Passable - Staff There is no fridge in the room, I think this is unacceptable, as it is 35 degrees in summer. The breakfast is very poor, the room is small, uncomfortable, old-fashioned, there was no glass in the room, although it was unnecessary, since there is no fridge. Dinner is expensive, we went to a nearby restaurant, was excellent and good price.
• Oliver (9/5): Superb -
• Matilda (10/5): Amazing stay, we will come back! - The location was beautiful, the food was amazing and the staff were so nice and helpful from arriving to leaving. We ate dinner there every night and it was so delicious! We will come back!
• Nigel (9/5): Superb - The location in the middle of nowhere was excellent. The food was superb and wine wasn’t expensive. Unfortunately for our 2 day stay it rained most of the time. Would strongly recommend As said earlier, the weather was the only thing that could have been better
• Thijs (10/5): amazing beautiful place with very friendly staff - the house was beautiful, with many eye for detail. We loved the interior and the staff was very friendly.
• Maria (10/5): Excelente. Happiness - Wonderful time spended with owners Jamaal and Samira, who made our trip more enjoyable. Very good recommendations about the area. Great location. Hotel amazingly beautiful. As announced. Very adequated arquitecture to Tuscany. Full of details. Views. Food excelent. Best chef. Made friends while we enjoyed dinners
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional - If you ever find yourself in beautiful Tuscany Italy and you want a slice of heaven, then you must stay at Villa Poggio di Gaville !!!! Tucked away just 30 min from Florence and an hour from Siena. Is a beautiful agritourismo in the Chianti wine region, that welcomes you with open arms and a warm heart. Chef Jamal and his beautiful daughter Samira run this beautiful home and made our trip so magical. Chef Jamal prepares a surprise dinner every night that will excite all your senses!!! Each dish has such amazing flavor and depth. Everything is fresh and from the region. My mother and I were so blessed to take a small cooking class from Chef Jamal. The way he explains food, life, and love is done with such passion and flare. Samara is always there making sure every detail of your stay is perfect from booking massages, wine tours, showing you the best local villages to explore or even local events so you can be with the people of italy!!. Leaving is such sweet sorrow. Tho we will be back for more!!!! 5 stars across the board for Chef Jamal and his daughter Samira!!!!
• Holly (10/5): Very warm and friendly proprietors. - The terrace for meals is beautiful and the kitchen is fantastic. Room was small.
• Miriam (9/5): The villa met our expectations and some. Definitely will come back. - The breakfast and dinner were terrific. The owner and staff are friendly and helpful. We met other travelers at mealtime (breakfast and dinner) and we all had a good time and enjoyed each other's company. I found it to be really welcoming and somehow the place/owners/staff managed to keep all of us happy.
• Edwin (8/5): Very good -
• Sarath (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jochen (8/5): - Extremely nice an gentle staff, excellent dinner with great wines.
• Nancy (10/5): Natural, beautiul retreat from nearby Chianti attractions. - All of the staff were fun to be around and would be fun people to know. The food was imaginative, beautiful presentation and tasty. The location is away from busy attractions and you come home to calm and beauty. Not enough surfaces space for items in bedroom and bathroom.
• Graham (10/5): Exceptional -
• Tal (2/5): Very poor -
• Jef (10/5): A real gem in the Tuscan hills - Location/facilities We arrived at the most beautiful location we could imagine. A peaceful "farm" in the middle of the tuscan hills. Everywhere you look, you have an amazing view. It's the perfect place to relax and take a break from your daily, busy life. The facilities were amazing, a magnificent and big swimming pool. The terras used for breakfast, dinner or just a drink was really inviting and cosy. Room Before entering the room, you pass the amazing library/common space. The room itself contains all it needs. Very good airconditioning, big bed and no surprise, also an amazing view. Hospitality Jamal and Samira and everyone of the staff are very kind and helpful. You feel at home the moment you step inside their beautiful villa. We immediately felt part of the family. Thank you all! Breakfast/dinner Being served with a big smile, we immediately received our coffee and croissants. The buffet has a wide variety of sweet and savoury choices. Every evening Jamal cooks for his guests, make sure you don't miss out on this tasteful experience! Dear Jamal & Samira, thank you for the wonderful stay at your place. We look forward to come back! Nothing at all👌
• Frank (10/5): - My wife and I stayed here for three nights in May 2022. What an absolutely fantastic place with great staff. Nina, Samira, and Jamal were all amazing. If you're looking for a place in Tuscany that is relaxing with great food, stay here. Absolutely loved everything about it.
• Renate (10/5): - Ein Ort der Stille und Erholung, wunderbar gelegen. Samira und Jamal waren ausgezeichnete Gastgeber. Man fühlt sich sofort zuhause. Das Überraschungsmenü war phantastisch und unbedingt zu empfehlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder 😃
