Our room, the Veterini, was very spacious and extremely comfortable. The views out the windows were spectacular of the Tuscan countryside. Patyrk and Anna, our hosts, were incredibly friendly and accommodating even recommending and making reservations for us at a local restaurant in Castiglion Fiorentino.

Read moreThere are no words to describe how wonderful Casa Portagioia is! Located in the beautiful Val di Chio near the ancient town of Castiglion Fiorentino, the property is a working farm (olives and grapes), full of flowers, and well cared for. The pool is pristine. With only 5 rooms and 2 apartments (we had the Funghini Suite), the experience is like staying at a good friend's country home.||||The owners are by far the greatest aspect of this place!

Read moreWe spent 5 days at Casa Portagioia in July 2022. Rooms Nocci and Funghini were provided. This last one with a leaving room, kitchen, and a terrace of which we took advantage every evening to enjoy the weather, the Tuscan views, and skyline while having an Italian snack.||Our stay took place during the heat wave that hit the region during this month. However, this was not a problem as air conditioning in the rooms works perfectly and the pool is a jewel for a daily late afternoon swim and relax.||Ana and Patryk, the hosts, are always available and happy to support in any need.
