Poggio al Casone — Attraction in Crespina Lorenzana

After spending a week on Lake Garda we drove to Crespina to Poggio Al Casone. 26th of May to 1st of June|WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!|Our home for the week was the Vigna Bassa, a two bedroom, 2 bathroom villa-appartement on the beautiful vineyard. |Michaela was very friendly at reception and showed us our beautiful villa and explained what we needed to know about the surrounding area. |When we arrived the place took our breath away !!! |Just driving up the long tree lined road and seeing the vineyard along the way OMG!!!|The beauty of it all…|No matter which door or window was opened we could marvel at nature at its finest. |My photos do not do it justice.|We had everything that was needed to make our stay as comfortable as possible. We settled in and did a bit of grocery shopping for the next few days.|The next day we rested on site, made burgers on the BBQ for lunch, dipped in the pool and hot tub as it was a nice sunny day, |enjoyed a complimentary wine tasting tour in the afternoon. |Ottavia was so sweet explaining how they work the land and about the Castellani family. Very interesting. Very good wine.|We then relaxed for the rest of the day and evening having a wonderful supper on our terrace and taking in all the beauty before our eyes. |||It was easy to get around by car to visit the surrounding areas.|Pisa,Livorno, Lucca, Greve, Montefioralle, San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra are the places we visited. |A little side note…Andrea Bocelli and his family restaurant is in a small countryside village, his birth town of Lajatico and only a 15-20 minute drive away. Upstairs there is a very nice small museum with photos and artifacts of his music career. It was a nice and pleasant way to finish off our day road trip from Siena and Voltera. |We did enjoy Poggio's delicious breakfast for two mornings. |Every morning we left to visit an area of our choice and would come back to our beautiful villa and enjoy the magnificence of this place. |This is a dreamplace. And I dream of coming back someday !!!|Italy is a beautiful place to visit and Poggio Al Casone was the cherry on the top. Thank you Poggio...

We had eight wonderful days at Poggio Al Casone. From the moment we arrived it far exceeded our expectations. Driving up the long tree lined drive we arrived at the fabulous development made up of individual villas and apartments. Our apartment was part of the main villa which was reached by an elegant stairway. Being a family of four the three separate bedrooms were perfect. One bathroom and an additional toilet with a small functional kitchen. ||We had breakfast every day on the beautiful terrace over looking the vineyard||We had a very informative wine tour given by the incredibly knowledgable Carol who made it interesting and funny.
