First impression - a gypsy camp full of hobos. Awful, just terrible, the place has no A/C but the owner says in a flippant and condescending way, "oh, well, in the night time just open the windows because we are in the mountains and it cools down." OK but what about in the afternoon if you want to relax in your room? No chance, because it's 100 degrees in the room and outside in the summer. Pool area is full of derelicts trying to escape the heat. Dinner options extremely limited and served in an unappealing environment. Breakfast area totally unacceptable. Owner creepy. Rooms stark and no imagination or effort to be attractive. A long and rugged road from the main road to the property. Do yourself a favor and spend a few extra Euros and stay in a nice place, and not this far-flung hobo camp.

Roberto and his wife were wonderful hosts at this marvelous B and B. Our accommodation was excellent and wished we could have stayed longer. A perfect location for taking in all of the sights in the Tuscany area. Meals at the B and B were outstanding. Both Roberto and his wife produced some of the best suppers and the Tiramasu is to die for. If you ever stay there ask for Roberto's pasta dish made with pumpkin - it is soooo good. The chicken he prepared that night was also fabulous.
I would highly recommend staying here - you won't be disappointed.

Had a wonderful stay- 3 nights in late Autumn, walking and driving around the many local hill towns and villages.
The hotel is beautifully located on the brow of a hill, really remote and far away from any passing traffic or noise. The old farm stead is restored as charming suites. We had a double room with a good bathroom and an equipped kitchen/dining room. The views from our room and terrace were spectacular. We were there in late October so could not enjoy the beautiful terraces of which there were many.
The owners were charming, helpful and very thoughtful, providing us with maps and suggestions of places to go.
The food was a set dinner of 4 courses- all home made with local fresh ingredients. The family all contributed to the making of the food and happily shared their culinary secrets with their guests. They ate with us too, which is always encouraging.
The dining room was charming- a converted barn with many original features kept to entertain their guest with- a long trough filled with hay.
Wine was all good and well served with helpful guidance and recommendations.
Well done to our host family for caring so much about their business.
The other guests were good company too, all happy to exchange stories of the days adventures. In all a very pleasant stay.

I think a lot must have changed since many of the other reviews have been written, because our stay at Poggiarello was wonderful. I was traveling with my fiance and my parents, and as my parents had booked the trip, I knew nothing about the place before we arrived. The drive in was a tad complicated (and the directions were somewhat lacking), but the road has recently been paved so it was very smooth the entire way, not to mention gorgeous. We considered finding it just part of the Italian adventure.
The location is simply beautiful. The views over the hillside are breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the terrace area was a great place to sit and enjoy a few drinks while soaking in the view. I should mention that there was only one other group (no kids) staying there the night we stayed, so it was VERY quiet and peaceful. The apartment (2 BR) was great with views from both BRs over the valley, although one of the BRs was a little cramped for a double bed.
After spending all day in the car and taking several tries to find Poggiarello, we opted to eat in the restaurant rather than try to navigate back to town for dinner and try to return home in the dark. We were SO glad we did—it was perhaps the best meal we had in Italy. Four courses: an antipasto, some divine risotto, a very generous helping of lamb, followed by a delicious dessert. Eaten with a bottle of the local chianti which we found to be excellent (although we're hardly wine connoisseurs), and the service and ambience were both great. Certainly one of the most enjoyable meal experiences of our trip.
The staff was warm, welcoming, and helpful. We met every member of the family upon our arrival! They were all so nice, including Cito, the dog.
My fiance and I did opt to rent the Roman bath for an hour, which was everything we had hoped it would be—relaxing, fun, and different. It's not as hot as a hot tub so we sat in it for about 45 minutes before we started to feel a little woozy. However, I really think that it should be included in the room charge—20 Euros for an hour was way too much. The outdoor pool (free) was one of the prettiest I've seen, although we didn't end up using it.
We all had a fantastic time—a great respite from the chaos and business that was our time in Rome and Florence—and would certainly go back.
