Description

Il Poggetto is an enchanting 19th century country house which will not fail to charm you. The appartment for let has been built into the portico of the old farmhouse where the current owners live. The property is situated on the top of a hill and is surrounded by 5000 square metres of parkland. It is a peaceful place layng out of the main urban centres, but not close to the many remarkable naturalistic and artistic attractions in the area. In the garden there is a swimming pool, childrens play area, small wood and spaces specially designed and equipped for eating outside under pergolas hanging with wisteria and grape vines. It is an ideal place for a totally relaxing holiday or as a base from which to visit all the fascinating attractions of the area. Il Poggetto is strategically placed regarding all the main communication routes; the traveller can move around easily, using both their own transport and public transport services. There is a regular bus service connecting Il Poggetto to Pisa railway station in approximately 45 minutes. Other places may be reached by bicycles which are available for use to all residents. And for those who love walking or trekking there are many sites to be visited on foot. Crespina is situated in a peaceful area overlooking rolling hills. It's not far from the most famous Tuscan sea resorts and ports where ferries depart for the peninsula's nearby islands. And the major tourist centres of Pisa, Lucca, Florence and Siena are not far away. It is an oasis of calm surrounded by the lush green Tuscan countryside, woodlands and areas of outstanding natural beauty. Centuries ago rich property owners from Pisa and Livorno used to build their summer residencies here because of the beauty of the surrounding countryside and of the mild climate.

What guests say

Reviews highlight the property's beautiful scenery, tranquility, and well-furnished, clean apartments. Hosts are generally described as friendly and helpful, though some guests found the welcome a bit impersonal. The swimming pool and the authentic Tuscan atmosphere are important plus points, and the location is good for exploring local towns and attractions, though access via unmarked roads and the lack of air conditioning during hot weather are noted by some. Overall, guests recommend the accommodation for those seeking a relaxing stay in a charming countryside setting.

We’d like to say that overall, everything was wonderful. A beautiful house in the heart of Tuscany, close to charming towns and popular tourist spots. There are wineries, restaurants, and shops nearby, which made exploring the area easy and enjoyable.\nWe especially loved the pool!\n\nHowever, there were a few things that, unfortunately, slightly affected our experience. Maybe it was just our personal perception, but still:\nWhile staying in a private home, you naturally hope for some interaction with the hosts — a warm welcome, a bit of conversation, maybe some local tips or stories. Unfortunately, during our stay, we only spoke with the hosts three times: when we arrived, when they told us about some maintenance work planned in our apartment, and when we were checking out.\n\nLanguage wasn’t a barrier at all — in fact, we had lovely experiences in other places where people didn’t speak English at all, and just used Google Translate with a smile. That kind of effort really creates a special atmosphere.\n\nAnother thing we found frustrating was that no one informed us in advance that there would be electrical work during our stay, including access to our apartment in the early morning. Of course, we understand that we are just guests and maintenance has to be done — but it would have been much more respectful to let us know ahead of time, so we could be prepared when someone arrived at 8:30 in the morning to turn off the power and start wiring work.\n\nOverall, we felt like the whole experience was a bit... impersonal. Like everything was just “business as usual,” without the warmth or Italian hospitality we had hoped for. A small gesture — even something as simple as a bottle of local wine (3–5 euros!) — would have gone a long way to make up for the inconvenience and left a much better impression.\n\nOne last thing — smoking on the property, especially right under our windows, was an issue. We’re a non-smoking family, and in an old villa where air conditioning is understandably difficult or impossible to install, everyone sleeps with the windows open. Unfortunately, our neighbors (a family from Germany) sat outside right below our bedroom window every night until midnight, talking and smoking. The smoke filled our room, which was really unpleasant.

The answer from the host:
Salve Denis, Ci scusiamo per il disagio che avete subito per l'intervento tecnico, Purtroppo questo intervento non era programmabile ma è stata una urgenza che abbiamo dovuto affrontare in quel momento. Noi durante il vostro soggiorno abbiamo cercato di non essere invadenti e abbiamo avuto a cuore la vostra privacy. Questa, come ci avete ricordato, era la vostra seconda vacanza da noi, ci auguriamo che in futuro sia possibile ospitarvi ancora per conoscerci meglio e farvi sentire accolti come accadde la prima volta.

Selena and her family’s home was the best choice we could possibly make for exploring Tuscany. The place is authentic, beautiful, very calm, perfectly located. The apartment has all that one can need for a short or long stay. The hosts are really nice and very discreet people, very kind and helpful. The whole place has a real Tuscany feel! Thank you, Selena! ❤️

The apartment was comfortable and well furnished. It is reached by a poorly indicated dirt road. In this period of intense heat, the lack of air conditioning was heavy.

Very friendly and polite host, even though we happened to arrive several hours later than scheduled (Sorry again, Noemi!). Well-furnished building surrounded only by fields. A very nice and quiet place. Excellent breakfast, much better than the ones usually served in Italy. Be sure to try the tomatoes from own cultivation! There are two bathrooms for three rooms, sharing them was no problem at all. Parking right in front of the door.\n\nRecommendation!

Beautiful weekend. We were a group of 17 people, Mrs. Selene gave us 3 adjacent apartments, all three very beautiful and clean. Although the structure is a bit isolated, its location allowed us to reach the city of Lucca in a short time and we saw that other points of interest were also easily reachable. Definitely a structure I recommend and if there will be the opportunity, I will return to stay there.

This was our second visit to Il Poggetto. Located in beautiful countryside, the accommodation is on the ground floor of a country house set in secluded gardens. The newly-furnished apartments are tastefully decorated with modern facilities. The owners were very welcoming and could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay there. We would definitely recommend Il Poggetto to anyone looking for a relaxing country location.
