Perfect location, exactly what I imagined for the Tuscan countryside. Beautiful property, very comfortable accommodation, authentic architecture and squeaky clean. Apartment was very well appointed. We only experienced the breakfast as we dined out or in the apartment so missed the reportedly excellent dinner. Breakfast setting was very nice and food was good. Really enjoyed getting to know the hosts... more

We stayed for five wonderful nights and can't wait to return. The hospitality was great and the food even better! Terry and Marcello are excellent hosts and their sightseeing guidance was very much appreciated. They go the extra mile to ensure that your comfort is taken care of and all your needs are met. We highly recommend Hotel Portagioia for... more

I can't add anything that hasn't already been said. As beautiful as it looks in pictures, it's breathtaking in person. Casa Portagioia is centrally located near Cortona, Florence, Siena, Arrezzo and many other places. Terry and Marcelo made us feel like we were the only guests (actually, we were for a few days!). They prepared beautiful breakfasts that included fresh... more

Terry and Marcello are incredible hosts, and make Casa P one of the best B&Bs in the world. It's nothing like most people's idea of a B&B. Not only have they created a hideaway of great beauty; they pay incredible attention to detail; they are warm, generous and funny; nothing is too much trouble; and they are not far from... more

If you are unsure about the B & B experience, try this one first, you will not be disappointed! Terry & Marcello are warm & gracious hosts who have a world of knowledge to share on this wonderful area of Italy. The grounds, pool and surrounding countryside are beautiful. Don't miss the delicious dinners prepared twice a week by Marcello,... more

The guys who own and run this Tuscan B&B are gracious, and extremely helpful. The facilities are perfection in a divine setting. The meals served are a incredible culinary experience. The local sites are inspiring beyond belief, or serene peace and quiet, if you want this. I believe a week's stay is only enough time to scratch the surface, a... more

Magnificent place - beautiful pool overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills. Lots of touches one would not expect in B & B accommodation - fluffy towels, slippers & robes, beautifully equiped bathroom. Had dinner one evening one the terrace - a wonderful taste experience! Lots of information on places to visit & detailed travel instructions provided. Rarely have I come across... more

Our family stayed at Casa Portagioia for a week in August and it was truly one of the best experiences we've ever had. The bed and breakfast is picture perfect and is everything one could hope for. It is spotless, welcoming and tranquil. Marcello and Terry have a fantastic property and do their very best at making guests feel at... more

We spent a relaxing 10 days here after our wedding, basking in the sun, soaking up the quiet and the scent of lavender. Terry and Marcello have created an elegant retreat, and we loved every bit of it. There is just the right amount of privacy and opportunity to mingle with other guests - over breakfast or the fabulous dinners... more
