"The apartment was perfect for the two couples to use as a based to explore Tuscony during our 2-week stay. The apartment was small but very comfortable and clean, with common areas to be together as well as separate spaces to have time apart. It had everything we required while we were there including a small but well outfitted kitchen, a washing machine to do laundry, comfortable beds, etc. Dinners were prepared several times in th kitchen and we had all the utensils, pots & pans, and great tools for making fine Italian meals. The surrounding area had many wineries ranging from "industrial scale" to small farms that grew other fruits and vegetables besides grapes and olives. We enjoyed the farm experiences that paired great food with their fine olive oils and wines. Our favorites were La Spinosa and Casa Emma. The location also allow us to easily visit Florence, Sienna, Greve, and even San Vincenzo for a day.Our host, Cindy, was a delight to work with on the reeervation. She was very responsive to our questions from the time of our booking to during the stay. A highlight of the trip was taking one of the cooking classes Cindy offers. We opted to travel to Florence for the class, which gave us an opportunity to join Cindy on the shopping trip to the local open-air marker for produce and shops for meats and wine. Cindy worked along side the 4 of us to craft a great Tuscon meal that we shared with Cindy and her husband, which was an exceptional treat. "

"The house was amazing and so well kept with thoughtful touches throughout. "

"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! "
