Apartment VIOLA with pool, private garden and big terrace

Good service, clean place. Beautiful Nature Very private and nice people and surroundings. Wifi not good. And the place is hard to find.

We have just come back from a really great stay at Poggianto, a converted farmhouse in the heart of Tuscany, with our 2 kids under 5 and our parents. What a great week! We had the apartment Viola, a brand new three bedroom, three bathroom two floor apartment with a shady terrace - gloriously cool despite the 30 degree plus weather. The apartment and the property, including the pool, were absolutely spotless, and the apartment had all new fixtures. The location of the farmhouse, which requires travelling on a dirt road, allowed for absolute tranquility, and yet our children never felt uncomfortable splashing about in the huge pool. Often there were other kids to play with. We spent every morning by the pool and every afternoon on the road visiting Siena, Florence, Montepulciano, Montalcino, Radda in Chianti and Montevarchi (including the Prada outle). All was within an hour or an hour and a half drive. Another benefit of not staying right in a popular town is that we were forced to get in the car to find a restaurant, and what gems they were as opposed to some of the more touristy places we ate at in the various towns. There is also a grocery store nearby for supplies. Last but not least, we can't say enough about our hosts, Marina and Alessio, who made us feel welcome and had many useful tips for us. They are incredibly hard workers - we saw them spend an entire day cleaning one of the apartments after some of the guests left. They also came rushing with a first aid kid when our younges son took a tumble requiring stitches. All in all, a delightful location that I will be recommending to all who are looking to get away from it all in Tuscany.

We very much enjoyed our stay in Tuscany in the Pogianto farmhouse. The accommodation was exceptional both in size and decor with every attention to detail considered. The quality and cleanliness of the bathrooms (we had three!) and kitchen were second to none. The children both enjoyed the pool in it's peaceful hillside setting. We mostly ate out and found the local restaurants full of friendly Italians and were made to feel most welcome wherever we visited. We toured locally and made full use of our hire car which is essential in this location. The local shop was a ten minute drive away and too far to walk with children but that was of little consequence as we couldn't really great them out of the pool. The hosts were the most wonderfully warm and generous people and we were made to feel as friends rather than just guests. We were very sad to leave and are very much considering returning in 2012. We stayed in august and the weather was extremely hot averaging over 40 degrees throughout our stay. we did enjoy the shade but it is worth considering the temperature at this time of year as these highs are not unusual. Thanks again to Marina and Alessio.

Thanks for brilliant holidays in Laterina. big apartment, big pool, quiet location,...perfect

Once you find your way to the villa (not so easy), you understand you have arrived to paradise. The view is wonderful, the property is all new restored and beautiful, and the owners are willing to help on every need. The apartment itself is designed and decorated with great sense and taste. All is in the right place and in great quality.

The accommodation was incredibly spacious, extremely well appointed and immaculately clean. The owners have done a superb job in sensitively restoring the buildings. Our children are nine and ten years old and they thoroughly enjoyed the large pool. The owners are extremely courteous and friendly and we hope to return next year. Arezzo is a twenty minute drive and we made several visits to the city over the course of our stay. We were recommended local restaurants ten to fifteen minutes away and they were excellent in value for money and quality. Get good directions to the ipercoop hypermarket - it's easy to get there but we got lost a few times in Arezzo as we didn't have very good maps - a good map of the local area is essential! We flew into Pisa and found it very easy to get to accommodation using the directions given. It was 40 degrees when we visited in August and we took siestas to get out of the early afternoon sun as the shops are closed between 1 and 4pm
