My wife and I just returned from the most wonderful location one can choose to enjoy southern Tuscany and the surrounding Italian locations. After a week in Sicily, we arrived in Montepulciano and were taken away by the beauty and the facilities of Podere Poggio al Sole. The breathtaking views of the landscape, vineyards, and quaint villages are to die for. On our arrival, Manola greeted us with open arms, and a welcome plate of prosciutto, cheese and wine. She showed us our apartment ("Il Ciliegio") which was lovely, well decorated, and with all the necessities covered. The pool and yard facilities were outstanding, not to mention the surrounding olive tree fields and vineyards for wonderful strolls any time of the day. Furthermore, this was an excellent location for our sightseeing trips to Pienza, Montalcino, Siena, Assisi, Spello, Cortona, Florence, Montefollonico and many other towns. Finally, Manola, her mom Elena and father were the most kind and excellent host one could have. We definitely recommend this location and look forward to return in the near future to continue discovering the lovely Tuscan countryside and "La Dolce Vita".
