About this villa rental

Numero CIR 097006-CNI-00001

Immersed in 5 hectares of rolling green lawn and trees, the Villa has 5 bedrooms - each with its own bathroom - and 2 additional half bathrooms. Recent renovations have brought the parquet and marble floors to their original 19th c. lustre, and at the same time have added important creature comforts such as a new gourmet kitchen, air-conditioning in each bedroom and in the kitchen, marble bathrooms and high-speed internet. Importantly, the owners are available to help you plan your northern Italian visit with bespoke itinerary suggestions and reservations help. Stays of 8 days or more include a mid-week cleaning service.

The large, comfortable Villa, spread over two floors and 500 square metres, is appointed with tasteful furnishings, comfortable beds and pillows and beautiful detailing throughout. The Villa makes up the lion's share of the building; 2 smaller flats used by family and the caretaker have SEPARATE entrances and do not have access to this space.

An adjacent lodge, private to our Villa guests, has ping-pong and foosball tables, in addition to croquet, badminton and bocce sets to play on the adjoining lawn. The property is located on a hill overlooking the surrounding towns and countryside. The locality is called “Poggio Verde” which means Green Hill.

Our recently refurbished 20-metre swimming pool is a pure pleasure for lap swimmers and children. Shared with family members, it features plenty of pool furniture and a private changing room for our guests.

This lovely Italian country villa is ideally located for visitors wishing to explore northern Italy, from Milan just 50 minutes to the south to Bellagio & Lake Como in the foothills of the Alps just minutes to the north.

Outstanding northern Italian dining and things to see and do - culture and recreational - surround our home. At Poggio Verde we take special care of our guests, booking them into our favorite nearby trattorias, farm-to-tables, or Michelin restaurants, suggesting itineraries and facilitating their stay however we can, both before in the planning stages of their visit, as well as during their stay. We are well connected to surrounding service providers and we can arrange extras such as chef services, cooking lessons, a driver and extra cleaning at guests’ request. Please see further details on ilpoggioverde com.

(There is the possibility of 4 additional bedrooms, sleeping 7, in an adjacent part of the building; these are not available during the summer months; see "Maddy's Poggio" on HomeAway.)

Our goal as your hosts is to make your stay at Poggio Verde as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. We know the area very well and are happy to put this knowledge at your disposal. We are standing by to assist you, even before you come, so that your stay fully lives up to your expectations. Gretchen Crosti and Judith Wencel

Would highly recommend this beautiful villa. Plenty of room, beautiful grounds and views. Location is great with only a short drive to Milan and Lake Como. The hostess was fantastic. Gretchen was very pleasant/friendly, helpful and provided us much information. Although we did not take advantage of the extra services offered for an extra fee, you are able to arrange for a private chef to cook for you, have a private cooking class, etc.

This property is absolutely beautiful. Our family consisted of 6 adults and 4 children ages 11-16 and the accommodations worked perfectly. There is a large pool, game room, and movie room - perfect for all ages. The villa has a lot of history associated with it and we could not have picked a better place to create our memories of Italy.

This beautiful family Villa was perfect for our week long gathering of three generations and close friends. We felt right at home immediately. There was space for everyone, both indoors and outside. We loved being on the picturesque terrace and loggia, the lawns, in the beautiful large pool, and in every room in the house. There is so much history here. We loved the family photos, the art, the furnishings, the Murano chandeliers, the toys under the grand piano, the beautiful kitchen. The Villa is filled with love and care. It felt so warm and comfortable to us, including the children. One evening, we brought in a chef to prepare a beautiful meal for us. We loved our stay and wish we could come back every year.

Our family (8 people) gathered for Easter Vacation at the Poggio Verde villa. We have rented several villas in the past decade in Italy, Spain, Greece and France, but this one was definitely the most comfortable and peaceful one. We were lucky to meet the very kind owners and learn a bit more from them on the history of the villa and region. The garden is amazing, with old trees and flowers, plenty of spaces calling for meditation. We also liked the open kitchen which is fully equipped as well as the multiple dining and sitting rooms, where we even played the piano. There are plenty of beautiful places to visit as well as restaurants for those who would like a more active holiday, around the lakes and mountains within 45mn-60mn drive, and also various towns including Milano (there's a convenient train station not to far away, to avoid traffic jams). Each bedroom has its own bathroom so the villa is also very convenient for a group or even professional gathering. Highly recommended.

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!

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.

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!

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!
