Villa Il Pozzo: A Tuscan Gem

We had a phenomenal weekend at Villa il Pozzo. The views of the Tuscan countryside are magnificent, as is our host Ute. In a few months we will be guests at a wedding here, including a four-day stay. I am sure that this will be the highlight of the year.

During our journey through the stunning Tuscan hills on December 29th and 30th, we were searching for a wine tasting experience. After facing several closed doors, we were fortunate enough to discover Villa il Pozzo—truly the most beautiful location in Tuscany, offering breathtaking views. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the host, whose hospitality made us feel completely at home. He took his time to guide us through the fascinating history and process behind their exquisite wines and olive oils. His passion and knowledge were evident, making the experience both educational and enjoyable. The wines were delightful, the olive oils rich in flavor, and the setting—basking in the warm Tuscan sun—was simply unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend our afternoon. If you’re looking for exceptional wine, picturesque views, and heartfelt hospitality, Villa il Pozzo is an absolute must-visit.

I truly don’t know how to put into words my experience at Villa in Pozzo. It was an absolute dream and fairytale. My husband and I got married at Villa in Pozzo at the beginning of October 2024. We rented out the whole villa so our family and friends could stay all together. We had a total of 25 people and it was very spacious and comfortable. We could’ve fit more if we wanted too. We spent a total of 3 days there. We had our Welcome Pizza Party, the Wedding and then a Farewell BBQ. The property and grounds are absolutely stunning. It doesn’t feel real. Everything was so well maintained and really had the “Tuscan” feel. Ute, the property manager was FANTASTIC and the sweetest. She answered all of my questions and was there with us the whole time, along with our wedding planner, to make sure everything went smoothly. All of the rooms and accommodations were top tier. All of our family and friends couldn’t believe how amazing everything was. They have a winery down the road that you can do wine tastings and olive oil tastings. The last day we had some bad weather and they generously let our party go to the winery complimentary since we couldn’t enjoy the pool. It was one of my favorite parts. Truly couldn’t recommend Villa il Pozzo enough. 10/10! My husband and I hope to go back one day!

Mr. Donato is a kind, helpful person who loves what he does. All accompanied by excellent products and a magnificent location. Recommended!

“I had a great time at Villa il pozzo during the wine tasting! The atmosphere was wonderful, and the wines were simply fantastic. I was especially impressed by the selection of local wines. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the wines, which made the experience even better. I highly recommend a visit!”

Perfect! Amazing visit! Wonderful wine! An amazing visit! You won't regret it!

Donato was an exceptional presenter during our visit to Il Pozzo Winery in Tuscany. His passion for wine and the history of the region was truly infectious. He guided us through the tasting experience with such charm and enthusiasm, making each sip feel special. His deep knowledge of the wines was matched by his warm and engaging personality, making the visit both informative and fun. Donato’s cute and lively energy added a delightful touch to the tour, leaving us with wonderful memories of Tuscany’s finest wines. Highly recommend!

We had an amazing wine tour the day after a family wedding. The view was amazing as well as the atmosphere. We had a wonderful time trying three different wines with parings of cheese, tomato’s, nuts, bread and olive oil, as well as crackers. The service was quick and kind, anyone traveling to Italy would be lucky to spend the afternoon here!

We spontaneously got a great wine tasting with snacks from the manager. Very nice service and good wines. The location is top! Very good view. A cellar tour with wine tasting is also offered. Very nice atmosphere. The manager Donato speaks excellent German. Highly recommended location.

The views will be the first thing you notice upon arrival. Right off the road, this location is quite the catch. I love that this is a family business, where they value bringing you quality over producing more. Thanks to a wonderful tour, the owners explained the beauty behind their wine and produce. Highly recommend a trip to learn about the history of Chianti and taste excellent wine!

We met Donato during our stay in Italy. We had taken a guided tour to visit vineyards in the Chianti Valley. Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to spend the night there, but it is obvious that if the opportunity presents itself, we will not hesitate for a single second. The estate is simply magnificent. In addition, Donato's tour is really fun, interesting and accessible, even for those who are not very familiar with wines. He also tells us about the olive trees and olive oil, showing how passionate he is! We tasted excellent products there and brought some home that we can't wait to share with our friends in Quebec! I highly recommend this place, you will not regret it, and the view... what can I say about the view! WOW!! Thank you so much for making our experience in the Chianti Valley so interesting and entertaining!

A must stop in Tuscany, don't miss it

The best winery in Tuscany! The passion that Donato transmits to us is incredible. The wines are exquisite! I recommend it!

We rented the Villa for 3 days for our wedding and had an incredible time. First of all the view, it is absolutely magnificent. You have a 180 degree view of a picturesque landscape. In the distance, you can even see San Giminiano. Then, Ute and her team were perfect and took good care of us. The service was impeccable. Finally, the rooms (apartments) are spacious and comfortable. Enough to sleep about thirty people. This place had the desired effect on our guests who were amazed all weekend and on us who will keep an unforgettable memory of this stay.

On the way to Certaldo we made a spontaneous stop at Villa Il Pozzo. The place, as well as the host Donato, enchanted us immediately. We really enjoyed our short stay there. It is definitely worth stopping there, not only to try a delicious wine and enjoy the great view, but also to meet the best host, Donato 😊👍

Spontaneous visit during our tour of Tuscany. We didn't have a reservation, but we were warmly welcomed by the manager and were given wines to taste. We also learned interesting things about the winery itself. The view is also magnificent!! Absolutely recommended.

Excellent wine tasting, the good Donato has revisited a village in an excellent way. Very prepared and very engaging in making those present aware of the qualities of his wine. Wonderful place for any occasion

Fantastic structure immersed in the Tuscan hills with an incredible breathtaking view. Donato super kind delighted us with his food and wine and territorial knowledge, with an incredible tasting of their 3 wines (one better than the other) accompanied by a cheese and savoury platter, also with the last wine he also gave us some excellent almond and raspberry chocolate that with the last wine married impeccably! Excellent experience we will definitely return! The visit with explanation and tasting cost €15 per person, they are also very honest compared to the surrounding areas.

After meeting Donato at Chianti Lovers, we decided to visit him at his home! Excellent experience! Donato's passion and his constant desire to improve himself and the structure involved and enthralled us. One of the best experiences, I recommend the wine tasting and the olfactory experience with the tour of the vineyards. Donato with his professionalism will surely win you over from all points of view!

Wandering around Tuscany we found this beautiful place, with privileged panoramic views of the nearby valleys and hills. Ancient and beautiful property dedicated to the production of wine and oil where they offer guided experiences. Truly hospitable and passionate about the product. Thank you Donato

A dream! Fabulous location, very kind and super helpful staff. The experiences that Mr. Donato made us do in the middle of the vineyards were also beautiful and super interesting. The villa has a breathtaking panoramic view and is super equipped (swimming pool, outdoor fireplaces where you can cook and much more). Their wine and oil are truly excellent quality, you absolutely have to try them! In conclusion, I can only highly recommend it! Suitable for all occasions: from a couple's weekend, to events such as weddings, ceremonies etc.. to a simple day to taste their products.

We arrived at Villa Il Pozzo by chance to buy olive oil: we had seen the sign on the road. We had a wonderful time in the company of Donato who speaks French, English and Italian. More than showing us the conception of his wine, he offered us a tasting in a magnificent setting. A big thank you! We will come back!

A little corner of paradise in the Tuscan countryside. Wine tasting is a must-do experience at the place which also offers its own olive oil! The accommodation was perfect and impeccable in terms of cleanliness! Thank you again for this idyllic stay...
