Il Poggio Della Pieve Apartments

Review by hotel critic

Our week at Il Poggio Della Pieve Apartments was set against the enchanting backdrop of Tuscany, a region deeply steeped in history and culinary delights. This former noble mansion from the 18th century boasts a charming outdoor pool and spacious apartments, making it a good choice for families looking to unwind amidst beautiful landscapes. Our initial interaction left much to be desired; the owner was rather disengaged, and we were left to discover the nuances of the hotel on our own. Though the location is rural—indeed requiring a car for grocery runs and outings—once settled, we savored the serenity and stunning views that only Tuscany can offer. The apartment featured a well-equipped kitchenette, making home-cooked meals a joyous affair while enjoying the local flavors. Despite the lovely setting, the unexpected noise from the owner's family celebrations during our stay and cleanliness issues upon arrival were notable drawbacks. While Il Poggio Della Pieve holds potential for those seeking a peaceful escape in the Tuscan countryside, our experience suggests there may be better options available for the price. Nonetheless, we left with fond memories of Tuscany’s aromas and a longing for future explorations in this magical region.
