The breakfasts were delicious and staf was very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful & clean. Staff bent over backwards to help us and treated us with kindness & respect. We will go back in a heartbeat!

Poggio Alle Lame is a superb find. Incredibly warm and welcoming host and team, comfortable rooms, with air con, WiFi and all that jazz. It’s quiet, peaceful and rustic. If you’re looking for ultramodern glass and chrome - keep looking! But if you’re looking for comfortable, stylish, authentic Italian country hospitality, look no further. The setting is beautiful, a quiet hill top not far from a small town. There’s a fine, shady terrace to take breakfast and the fabulous home cooked dinners. Try the wine and oil produced on the estate. There’s a pleasant pool with loungers, shades, fine views over the Tuscan hills or just watch the lizards frolicking and basking. It’s 45 mins to downtown Firenze and about the same to Siena. A special word about Beatrice - owner and host. She’s fabulous, a forza of nature and an amazingly attentive and welcoming host. Highly recommended - you won’t regret it!

We were able to follow GPS to the location with no problem. It is a long narrow road to the house and is lined with olive trees. When we arrived, we were met by the owner. We said we were there to check in. She asked if we booked with Expedia and then mentioned our names. We were out of the office area yet she knew who we were. We were the only guest. She explained later they are usually closed for the season but allowed our reservation to continue as she had not removed it from Expedia. The views are amazing. We had the place to ourselves and lounged around the patio area overlooking the views. Rooms were nice, clean and decorated. We were visited by the owners cat and dog that hung around. We did walk the property and found the vineyards. Grapes had been licked already, but the sunset views were amazing. Due to being we did not dine there, but it is set up for breakfast and dinner if she is let know early enough that you wish to eat. Town was a short drive away. Dining and stores near by.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Beatrice, a lovely lady who owns the vineyard. Amazing location if you like the Tuscany wine country. You can stay here and be everywhere within 1/2 hr to 1 hour short drive. The premises are built or expanded on an old family villa with a balance of modern and historical feel. Breakfast by the terrace facing the vineyards below, takes you into the movie "The gladiator", with beautiful nature all around you. Beatrice, the owner, is fully hands on, and will go above an beyond to make sure your stay is pleasant. There are some wear and tear at the location but you need to have an open mind and appreciation of where you are. This is a family run business with all the care of a service driven organization. Do not expect contemporary and shiny here, but expect culture, respect, excellent food, great ambience, favourable weather and easy and welcoming people.
