Amazing property

We had a lovely stay at this beautiful home. The house is very spacious and grand, dating back to the 1400s. The property is gorgeous, including a great swimming pool and game room for the kids (ping ping, foosball and bocce). The host was extremely responsive and helpful both before and during our stay. She even arranged a private chef dinner for us one night, which was wonderful!

Perfection

We stayed at the villa for a few days following a two week tour of Italy. The home and grounds are beautiful and relaxing. We had a chef cook a home cooked meal one night and the proximity to Milan and surrounding lakes. We loved the peaceful nature of the home and all the history. I cannot wait to return!

Family time in Italy

We took our adult children, spouses and one year old granddaughter to Italy to be able to spend time together. Gretchen was a marvelous host. She communicated with me in advance to help me arrange a boat tour of Lake Como, gave lots of info about surrounding area, restaurants, and shops. The Villa and grounds are very impressive. Large, beautiful, accommodates a large group and yet child friendly. Bonus, handicap accessible. Hope to return again some day!

Wonderful historic place with lots of atmosphere

We were a group of three parties with children between 2 and 16 years. The place is perfect as there is lot of space inside and outside. We really loved the terrace with and without roof to enjoy the magnificent view over the huge garden and the landscape. Gretchen was perfect in contact and help.

Gorgeous estate, convenient location

We highly recommend staying at Poggio Verde. The home is spacious and beautiful, with every amenity we needed for a restful stay. The secluded hilltop setting offered a stunning view of the surrounding area, a large private patio, grill, and gazebo, and a large pool. We did our grocery shopping in the town 5 minutes away and went out for gelato to two different shops in nearby towns. We ventured out during the days about one hour in every direction for hikes, lakes, “canyoning”, castles, and Milan, not to mention the beautiful drives along the way. Gretchen and her staff were so attentive and personal, offering tips and suggestions for every aspect of our stay.

Beyond Words of Perfection

My family and extended family, a party of 10, booked Poggio Verde for 4 nights in June. Communication with Gretchen the year leading up to the stay was effective, quick, professional and friendly. I am not sure that I am able to properly express the glorious time we had with Gretchen, her family, and at the property. It was like arriving in a dream!!! The most beautiful and historical home. The property and grounds were very clean and well maintained. Its hosts were the epitome of hospitable and caring hosts. Our family made the most glorious of memories while staying at the beautiful villa. 11 out of 10 in every category! Thank you, Gretchen and Luigi, for blessing us with sharing your home with us!

More than a villa

This house, part of which was built in the 1500s, is more than a villa: it's a total experience. The entire estate is imbued with the feel of a grander era, from the statuary in the hedges, to the manicured lawns, to the high-ceilinged bedrooms, to the artful sconces in the upstairs hallway, to the illuminated statue at the bottom of the stairs, to the magnificent views. The house is decorated with original art, lots of books, and comfortable furniture in almost every room. There's a sense of luxuriousness and well-planned design everywhere you turn, and Gretchen couldn't have been more accomodating. She even picked up two members of our party from the train station, which we were deeply grateful for. I can't recommend Villa Poggio Verde higly enough. The extra bonus is the list of day trips provided by Gretchen, all of which provided to be memorable experiences.

Beautiful house with classic furnishings in a lovely rural setting

We loved our stay - Gretchen was so welcoming and helpful. She introduced us to the property and assisted with restaurant recommendations and suggestions of places to see. It is a bucolic setting, which we relished - some may find the location slightly isolated, but Milan is only an hour or so away, and the lakes about an hour and a half. Virtually all en-suite bedrooms were ideal for our party which included people from 9 to 83, and the well equipped kitchen was a pleasure to cook in. We were there during a heat wave, and the benefit of air conditioning in all the rooms (and the kitchen!) cannot be stressed enough! There is huge pool as well. Fantastic local restaurants nearby, but great supermarkets 7-10 minutes away for those who wish to stay home - Gretchen can also arrange for catering! We will certainly look forward to returning should we get the opportunity. Geoff & Emma, London/Hawaii

Unforgettable! Do not miss a chance to stay here

Il Poggio Verde is an incredibly spacious villa situated in close proximity to Milan, Lake Como and many other wonderful destinations. Our family stayed for a week in August with another family of four. We had 4 kids between us, ages 10-13. The swimming pool was gorgeous and immaculate. The kids enjoyed the ping pong and the foozball in the game room. There is a giant screen with a projector in the parlor so we had nightly movies in this home theater by connecting our laptop to the projector. The kitchen was fully stocked and we enjoyed both cooking at home, fine dining locally and even one night hired a chef to cook for us. The grounds and gardens were beautiful and well maintained. We had planned to do day trips daily but couldn't resist the charms of the villa and spent two full days lounging by the pool. Angeline was extremely helpful with suggestions, dinner reservations, and answering questions as they came up. We have been traveling in different European countries with our friends for five years in a row now and this was far and away our best experience. You won't regret it. Ciao Il Poggio Verde- we already miss you!!

Perfection

From the time we arrived until we reluctantly left, it was spectacular. Gretchen is a superb host who had an answer or suggestion for all our inquiries. From day trips, booked events, restaurants, and wine shops, everything was the best. The home is elegant with every amenity you would need. The property is well maintained - wonderful scents from the garden enticed us outside. The lap pool is spotless and was used daily. Chef Maria was the icing on the cake. Our last meal was fantastic. Maria is warm, the consummate professional, and the evidence is in her excellent food. Highly recommend!!

A Magical 10 days

My family of 9 just returned home after 10 extraordinary days at Villa Poggio Verde. Combining both elegance and comfort, the villa is a magical spot. It has the graciousness of a century old home with the amenities of the 21st century. A fully equipped kitchen. A/C in all the bedrooms. Good wifi. A movie room. Child friendly with toys and a crib. A fabulous pool with floats and toys. Even yoga mats. We prepared elegant dinners that we ate on the stunning porch overlooking the vistas of Lombardy. The villa is perfectly situated for exploring Lombardy and the small towns on Lake Como. If you are lucky enough to rent Villa Poggio Verde, you will experience the same magic we did.

The villa in Poggio Verde was much more than anything we expected. We nearly didn't see the surrounding, because we didn't want to leave it... The swimming pool, the badminton court, the ping pong table, the piano room, the kitchen and other facilities - everything was perfect. And Gretchen is a perfect host: generous, responsive and kind.

Wonderful place

We spent a week at Villa Poggio Verde. Two families with six kids in total. The place is more than fantastic! We loved to spend time in the garden and the different terraces. The view is fantastic and the pool is simply perfect for both swimming and playing. Gretchen made us feel at home from the beginning, she has thought of everything when equipping this house. We played badminton, ping pong, fussball and even freespee competitions in the pool. Even when relaxing, there is a cinema in one of the big living rooms. We loved, that the place is right in the heart of the backcountry of lake como. Lecco, como and even Monza are wonderful to visit. We spent a lot of time riding race bicycles around the lake. And can really recommend the hills close to Bellagio. And the cycling museum on top of the Ghisallo hill. We will definitely come back!!

Amazing Italian Villa!

Highly recommend staying at this villa! The property and house exceeded all of my expectations (which are high) and Gretchen was beyond helpful with reservations at local restaurants (all of which were amazing), private chefs and car service. The grounds of the property are beautiful (even better than the pictures show), the house is historical but also with updated amenities and the bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen were all excellent. I would come back to stay again and plan to next year with my family. Highly, highly recommended!
