Poggio alla Rocca

This place is amazing! We found it by browsing B&B/Agriturismi in the Siena area. The owners are perfect and very nice hosts, the rooms/apartments of various sizes are great and the views spectacular. The rooms are tasteful and in great shape, they invested in everything you can think of. Our son loved the big infinity pool (us too). Mondays they make (feee) Pizzas for everyone in the outdoor Pizza oven. Plus they make their own red wine and olive oil (5 Euro per bottle each). The place is a bit hard to find (dirt roads up the hill), so be prepared that your GPS won't find the address. We used Google Maps in offline mode a lot around there to find this, various restaurants etc. Talking about restaurants they provide a good guide in the rooms and every recommendation was great. The owners are happy to advise and make reservations. We like the nice Tuscan countryside and the picturesque towns of Pari and others nearby, but be prepared to drive everywhere for shopping, dinners etc. This is a quiet place to relax and use as a base to explore the surrounding area (Siena, Montalcino, Montepulciano all within driving distance), but no comparison to staying at those busy tourist places. Summary: highly recommended quiet and upscale place, not on the cheap side, but you certainly get what you pay for. We had an awesome vacation, off to Rome next (about a 3 hour drive away)
