Podere il Poggiolo Restaurant In Pontassieve

Positive reviews can sometimes be a favor. But here, a huge thank you and much praise are truly in order: For the friendliness, warmth, and absolutely perfect service. From the food (a wonderful breakfast, an imaginative and superb dinner), to the well-maintained and unique location with its expansive, manicured green spaces, various traditionally designed buildings and rooms, the pool area with bar and lounge, and all the other amenities, as well as the evident love and respect shown to both people and animals. We spent wonderful days here and are very sure we'll be back. In short: Price, value, and overall experience: TOP A heartfelt thank you

We wanted to get away from the hectic city life and decided to spend Easter, and this year also my birthday, at this farmhouse. We have to admit we made the best choice, as it truly is a place that regenerates body and soul, in touch with nature, immersed in the green Tuscan hills of Chianti, among vineyards and olive groves. It's the ideal place for a totally relaxing break... pampered by Serena and Alessandro, who are special hosts, welcoming and extremely attentive, ensuring you never lack for anything. Serena is not only a wonderful woman with her humor and humanity, but also an exceptional cook. Her varied dishes are prepared with genuine ingredients, a combination of authentic and light flavors, never repeating one another... and then, at my birthday dinner on Easter Sunday, her very welcome and unexpected surprise was the personalized dessert with my initials... What can I say? It's like feeling at home. In such a short time, they convey the warmth of a family. I'm truly grateful for having been so happy to have met them. It's the best gift I could have received for this birthday... ❤️ Alessandro is a very nice and helpful man who does everything, he takes care of his animals like children. His horses are magnificent, as are the ponies. Dante, a huge wild boar, and there are dogs and kittens around the farm, an oasis of peace and well-being. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, the legendary Serena and Alessandro. You made us spend these 3 days exactly as we wanted, letting us savor those traditions of simple yet true, authentic rural life... we'll definitely be back soon...!!!! With immense affection...!!!! ❤️ Lorena and Roberto

Such an incredible experience. Alessandro and Serena are incredible hosts. First, the location - incredible scenery, and tucked into the perfect little hillside location. Easy access to a train to Florence. Second, the food. Unbeatable. Throughout our journeys in Italy, we had nothing that compares to the quality. Third, the hospitality. This is a family run agriturismo. No outside funding taking away from the character.l and effort they put in. Finally, it’s family focus. So many childrens just having a blast. My son had an incredible time meeting children whom he didn’t speak the language of. It’s that kind of place - family is felt, and core memories will be built.

Cozy, warm, welcoming, and animal-friendly. We feel very comfortable here right now.

Alessandro and Serena made our stay really unforgettable, we couldn’t have felt more at home. The place is beautiful, the food plentiful and delicious, and it’s fantastic for kids. We will definitely come back!
