Casa di Pierina: an Artist's embrace

Stefano was a wonderful host and very helpful. We had a wonderful week staying in this fun apartment, conveniently located to many of the major sites in Tuscany

This is a nice place, mending in with the locals. A coffeebar just outside the frontdoor, restaurants around the corner, supermarket, bus- and trainstation all at a few minutes walking almost at viewing distance. Parking is easily done near the trainstation. You have all you need and for a holiday feeling you just have to leave the appartment and you are in the middle of the old centro.

We felt at home in this beautiful apartment! Stefano the host met us at the train station and walked us to the apartment. He even carried my suitcase up the stairs! Apartment was clean and well stocked with necessities. We enjoyed the accessibility and helpful communications with Stefano! The location of the apartment is close to cafes, restaurants, shopping, markets and all types of transportation! We Enjoyed an invigorating walk, through a beautiful park, to La Fonte delle Fate and Absolutely fell in love with Poggibonsi! Amazing town full of culture, local legends, mystery, art and of course excellent food & wine! Thank you for a wonderful 3 days, we'll be back! ? Kind Regards, Mary, Angela and Anna

We home-based here for a week following our initial stay in Florence. For us (2 American retirees in our late-ish 50s & 60s), the apartment was a perfect spot to both watch life go by, and to be able to quickly and easily slip out and join in (or at least get a closer look). It's in a working class area with the charm of older, narrow streets and muliple small piazzas where the community interacts daily (and nightly). You can sit on a bench or step and steep in the comings and goings and genuine warmth and affection these neighbors and families have for each other. Lots of eating options and a grocery very close, and very convienient to train station. If you need some down time, you can relax inside, cook if you want, etc., but still be able to hear the sounds of piazza life if you open the windows. Apt itself had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Colors are cheery, with fun touches everwhere. All the varying tile surfaces in the bathroom were particularly memorable. Kitchen was great--compact, funtional little European-style area that we enjoyed using. And loved that stove-top espresso maker! Stefan met us at the train station, walked us to and through the place, thoughtfully provided us with a bottle of water in the fridge, and checked in (via message) a couple of times during our week there to see that all was well. All-in-all, a super experience in a unique apartment.

Our stay at Stefano and Stefania's apartment was amazing! It is conveniently located for train and bus travel and there is a supermarket right across the street. The apartment was beautiful, comfortable, and very clean. Stefano met us at the train station when we arrived and was very generous with his offers to help us arrange transport around Tuscany. Thank you for an awesome stay!

Stefan and Stefania were very accommodating. They met us at the train. The location of the property is perfect like other reviewers have mentioned- near everything you need. Great point for visiting Siena, Florence, San Gimignano and other small towns. I will say that the pocket stove (because we stayed in the winter) was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, my travel partner was good at doing things with his hands and understood how to work the stove. He kept the stove running, filling it with pellets and cleaned it a couple of times so it wouldn't back up with ashes. The stove was used to heat the apartment in case you didn't know what a pocket stove was. I surely didn't know. Overall, the stay was wonderful and I would stay there again.

My wife and I enjoyed our 5 day stay in Poggibonsi. The apartment had everything we needed and we were very comfortable there. Stefano and Stefania are friendly and considerate, Stefano speaks excellent English and was able to help us with anything we needed. I was concerned about finding parking in the downtown area but there was free 24hr parking at the train station only 2 minute walk away from the apartment. Poggibonsi is a great central location for touring all over Tuscany. Thank you Stefano and Stefania for helping to make our first visit to Tuscany a wonderful experience!

We chose to stay in Poggibonsi as a central location to see Siena and San Gimignano, and were very happy with our choice. The apartment is right next to both the train and bus station, a few feet from many delicious restaurants, and across the street from a grocery store. It's central enough for some city noise (we liked the church bells), but with the windows closed and the air on it was nice and quiet. We also found a large park nearby with a shaded path around to an old castle site that made a nice evening walk. Stenfano was a 10 for helpfulness, and even came to help make sure we figured out how to get on the bus during a holiday (bus station was closed and ticket machine broken). He and Stefania were great throughout, attentive to any question or concern. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed, including air conditioning and reliable Wi-Fi (along with some interesting personal touches). The sofa bed in the living room was super comfortable and the main bedroom had great storage. The bathroom was cute and had imaginative tiling; made me smile with the light up shower head! Great stay!

This place is great! The appartement is confortable and well equipped. We had a great time in Poggibonsi! Stefano pick us up and show us all we need to know. We recommend!

The apartment looks exactly like on the photos - there are no surprises! It is good equipped and has everything you need. Also, the location is very good, close to the bus and railway station (if you want to travel around by bus or train, the connection is good), big supermarket, cafes, restaurants, shops... From one side of the apartment you can see nice pedestrian area and from the other is more city view. There is paid parking available just in front, but free parking lots are also very close. Stefania and Stefano were very helpful, always available and we really appreciated their recommendations on what to see, where to eat, etc. Thanks again for that! We used this apartment as a base to explore more of Tuscany, and we can recommend Poggibonsi as a good located spot to do that!
