Week vacation in Tuscany
My family (6 adult, 1 18 yo, and 1 9 yo) stayed for 8 days on the property. The host Tommaso was amazing from our initial contact to reserve the Villa to the day of checkout. The Villa was clean and spacious and provided a central location for us to make day trips to Verona, Venice, Florence, and Lake Garda. Taxi service from Verona was easy to arrange, although we rented 2 cars for the week as well.
I'm surprised by some of the reviews about the property being in need of updating. It was clear to me after my conversations with Tommaso that the family property was built 600 years ago, renovated in the early 20th century, and then again updated (mainly to the bathrooms and kitchen) in the early 21st century. As such, sometimes the floors creaked and the fixtures were older. It's located in the hillsides of the Verona province on vineyards, so it is a rustic property. But this is what we were looking for. We wanted a place that was comfortable, uniquely Italian with period furnishings and a luxurious yet homely feel. I got exactly that at Villa Sogara.
My only issue was that Wifi and cellular service could be spotty at the edges of the Villa. But overall, wifi was available and predominantly fast enough.
The surrounding village was easily accessible and convenient. My family members are already planning a return visit.
I'd highly recommend this property and the host to anyone looking to spend time in the area.
