A comment we just received from a recent guest:
Dear Silvia,
We are back in London now sadly! We wanted you to know how much we enjoyed our stay in Siena at Poggio ai Pini. The villa was wonderful and was everything we had hoped for, we had such a relaxing time and such a special holiday. The villa was a very romantic and comfortable place for us to stay and it was so lovely to sit outside and look around at the beautiful view.
Thank you so much for all your very friendly and helpful emails. Thanks also to Roberto for all his great advice on what to do around siena and especially for his patience when he had to wait for us when we got lost on our way to Poggio ai Pini!
We will definitely be highly recommending Poggio ai Pini to all our friends and family,
thanks again for everything.
Warmest regards,
Karina and Anton Johnston
