Agriturismo Pompilia

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about Agriturismo Pompilia? The drive up to Podere Sestri 19 – it’s one of those winding Tuscan roads where you start questioning your GPS, but then you round a corner and suddenly understand why they tucked this place away in the hills above Villamagna. The whole check-in process is a bit quirky (you actually handle that at Via della Bonifica 156 in Fabbrica di Peccioli), but honestly, it adds to the authentic agriturismo experience rather than detracting from it.

The property itself sits on working farmland, and I mean actually working – you’ll hear roosters in the morning and catch glimpses of olive groves that stretch toward the Arno valley. What I loved most was how the owners clearly restored this place with respect for its agricultural roots. The rooms have that perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort – exposed beams and terracotta floors, but also proper heating and surprisingly good Wi-Fi. The breakfast spread features their own olive oil and honey, which sounds like typical agriturismo marketing until you taste it and realize this family actually knows what they’re doing. I found myself lingering over morning coffee on the terrace, watching the mist lift off the valley below while planning absolutely nothing for the day ahead.

Location-wise, you’re about twenty minutes from Volterra (which gets crazy crowded in summer, fair warning) and roughly the same to Peccioli, where that check-in office is located. But here’s the thing – this isn’t one of those places where you feel stranded without a car. The nearby village of Villamagna has a decent trattoria and a small market, plus the hosts are incredibly helpful with local recommendations. They pointed me toward a tiny vineyard about ten minutes away that I never would have found otherwise. The rating of 9 feels spot-on; it’s not flashy or over-the-top luxurious, but everything works exactly as it should, and the attention to detail is impressive. The only minor downside is that cell service can be spotty in some parts of the property, but honestly, that might be exactly what you’re looking for when you book a place like this.

Reviews

• Superb – Radmilo from Serbia – 4 July 2025 (9/10)

  What could be improved: the staff is quite friendly but also quite confused at the reception. they took copies of my passports for 24 people for registration and managed to lose them. I asked them for the final bill for the stay and for the city tax. they haven't sent it to me yet. The owner of the apartment and his family are great people and helped us when our bus broke down.
  The reception has a problem with sending emails. they send me 8 identical emails at the same time and do not send or respond to those emails where I ask for the final invoice
  I have booked for next year as well.

• A peaceful escape filled with stunning views, friendly hospitality, and unforgettable experiences in nature. – Lisbeth from Estonia – 23 September 2024 (8/10)

  A wonderful place to escape the everyday hustle and enjoy nature and breathtaking views. The friendly team made it feel like visiting family or going to grandma’s house. The large pool was great. It was also a lovely opportunity to experience farm life and see the animals. One of my dreams was to go horseback riding at sunset, and it left me with such a beautiful memory. I highly recommend it!
  
  What could be improved: It’s about a 5 km drive to the main building, and half of the road is in poor condition. Since there is a lot of traffic and many tourists going back and forth, it would be good to repair the road. The walls were not soundproof, and the rooms could use proper blankets. The rooms could also be a bit more modern.

• Great accomodation, amazing pool. An authentic Tuscany experience. – Rose from Australia – 7 July 2024 (10/10)

  Was better than we expected! What a great spot. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms – so much room and privacy for everyone. It was clean and the staff are very helpful. The pool is beautiful with amazing views and the restaurant is great. We enjoyed two nights relaxing here and didn’t feel the need to go anywhere else.
  
  What could be improved: You had to pay extra for air-conditioning.

• Glorious visit to the Tuscany! – Adriana from Australia – 3 July 2024 (10/10)

  Amazing staff. Very helpful. Beautiful location and very spacious accommodation. Cooking classes were great. Great biking trials and many more to do. Can definately recommend. We only went for 2 days. Next time at least 5 nights. Janine
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• It was a wonderful experience. We should have stayed longer. It was all that we hoped for -a beautiful view of Volterra – Kristen from United States – 29 June 2024 (9/10)

  we stayed at Pompilia. We loved the pool. Having breakfast at the restaurant was lovely on one of the terraces. The apartment was so comfortable and clean
  
  What could be improved: If anything the private road had a few rough spots

• A beautiful stay & great place for families – Marion from Australia – 24 June 2024 (8/10)

  Beautiful location

• It was a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back again – Aaditya from Australia – 23 June 2024 (9/10)

  Comfortable apartments. Gorgeous surroundings. Well maintained
  
  What could be improved: The washing machine was broken and left our clothes full of detergent. We had to rinse each item out in the shower. However, the staff refunded the money we put in to do laundry

• I would recommend! – Adriana from United Kingdom – 7 May 2024 (8/10)

  The place is LOVELY, you get a whole little house for yourself with stunning views. Location is pretty much middle of nowhere but if you are in the Tuscany, you are renting a car, of course. Nearest town is 10 min away. They also have service for delivering fresh bread, milk, eggs and stuff like that every morning to your door which is handy when you are in the middle of nowhere, and they work with another Agriturismo for restaurant purposes.
  You have plenty space for parking, the house has pretty much everything you need and the other Agriturismo is 8 min drive if you need anything else (bring a corkscrew)
  
  What could be improved: The check-in was complicated, the instructions in the message are NOT CLEAR. Go straightaway to Agriturismo Dioccerone, find it in the GPS, ignore the address it is given to you. After that, everything is perfect.
  Bring a corkscrew, yes, one of the most famous winery areas in the planet and the Agriturismo doesn't provide a corkscrew haha
