Great two bedroom “suite” with outstanding views, clean sparkling pool, kitchen with necessary equipment, laundry on site, very clean throughout, comfy beds and furniture.  Head man Andrea extremely friendly and helpful.  Wine tasting at the Il Poggione winery.

Outstanding Vacation

We travelled as a family group of 3 generations and had 3 flats. It was not our first time at Il Poggione Agriturismo - and everything was a good and perfect as we remembered it. It is very clean, a nice standard, and the staff is very helpful and kind. If you wish to relax in a beautiful setting, it is really the place. It is easy to reach Montalcino by car for shopping, and there are lots of high standard wine and olive oil producers to visit in the area.

A wonderful Place

Hidden behind a small village, Sant Angello in Colle, this is a beautiful property. Had a completely furnished apartment to ourselves, with all the necessary amenities (Fully furnished kitchen with utensils, Free WiFi, Ample storage space in the cupboards and a Hairdryer in the bathroom as well!!)
Be warned it is in a pretty remote area so come stocked with food and a definitely hire a car.

Property manager was very helpful and helped us out a lot when with our questions.

One of the best views in Tuscany

I'll Poggione offers very comfortable and practical accommodations,  especially if you wish to see Montalcino and it's wineries.  However, you are completely on your own. Il Poggione is in the wine business,  and the Agriturismo is secondary,  very secondary. That works if you wish to score the area on your own, but not if you need or want guidance.

Agriturismo Il Poggione 

We really liked the house, the view and the wine. But we had a problem with our car so arrived late on a friday and felt that the staff was upset with that (maybe excited to leave for the weekend?). We called to inform we might be late (HALF hour) and they said there was nothing they could do, that nobody would be there to wait for us. Bitter start. Despite that, everything was good.

Service could be better

Very good location for quiet vacation, middle in the vineyards. During my walks through the vineyards with the dog I have met almost all people from the neigbourhood - they were probably affraid, that my small dog would reduce the population of wild hogs. I know good enough Italian to talk to people, but if you do not know Italian well and want to make walk through the vineyards, go better to Chianti area.
Welcome gift in the past were 2 bottles of wine, now only one - the cheapest rose wine.
After ordering the wine & Oil you have to pay in the office and pick up the stuff in the cellar - if you do not know Italian, you will be lost there

Was better in the past

Stayed 6 nights in the Pesco apartment and very much enjoyed 5 nights out of the 6.  Unfortunately, the first night was rather terrible - we endured what sounded like a saloon above us from midnight to 3 am.  There must have been a dozen drunken Italian men moving chairs, shouting obnoxiously, beating on tables... it sounded like a frat party.  Of course it would have been nice to turn my noise maker on for our 18-month old, but the power went out all night, most likely due to them doing something stupid up there.  The next morning there was no trace of them thankfully, but we encountered/endured a different noise coming from the next room over.  Our neighbors were exceptionally friendly that morning, and we (very uncomfortably) heard every detail of their entire session.  We decided to give it one more day, and were glad we did, no more frat parties, or x rated audio the rest of our stay.

Here are the pros and cons:

Cons:
The noise factor of the other rooms is a problem.  Try to get a room secluded from the others, or be prepared to hear your neighbors.

Ants... lots of them.  Not sure if it's just that time of year, but the ants were everywhere.

The road to get to the farmhouse is gravel, treacherously narrow in places, and definitely not for the faint of heart.  You have to brave it each time you want to get out to explore Montalcino.

The shower leaks water all over the floor... no way around it.  A little annoying, but a common problem in many Italian hotels.

No one came to tidy up the room for the entire 6-day stay, so I ended up having to wash our own towels, buy toilette paper and trash bags, take the trash out, etc.  I get that this is not a full service hotel, but I expected a little more.

Pros:
The view is absolutely breathtaking! 

The fully equipped kitchen (with the newly added espresso machine) is ultra convenient.

The self service laundry was also an indispensable amenity for us.

The complimentary Il Poggione Rose and olive oil was a nice touch.

Overall, I enjoyed our stay here, and would consider returning, but given the cons, I plan to explore other options in the area before doing so.
