Podere dell'Alloro

Great host and the place is simply amazing. The attention to the details is beyond imagination. Pictures will never do justice to this place! Highly recommended!!

Our stay with Andy and Clare was just amazing. The apartment we stayed in is very spacious and the view from the garden is just breath-taking. It is a great place to get away from a busy life and just relax. Clare and Andy made us feel very welcome and made sure we had a great breakfast every morning. It is very well situated in the Tuscan hills, only a 30-minute drive from the airport. There are several restaurants in the vicinity, but Clare and Andy are great cooks so you can have dinner with them as well.

Lovely place with a perfect location and the best beds I've slept in. Don't leave without trying their food. Ask for the lasagna!

I met Andy and Clare through a mutual friend and had the pleasure of receiving hospitality from them, though I was staying elsewhere. This is a beautiful venue, which has been transformed by this hard working pair, set in marvellous surroundings. You won't be disappointed.

We travelled to Tuscany for the first time this year and stayed at Podere dell’Alloro. The apartment was excellent, welcoming and very clean and tidy. The kitchen was well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. The whole feel of the apartment and outside area was relaxing and peaceful which was exactly what we were looking for. The views were also breath taking.The owners, Andy and Clare were superb hosts. They were friendly and shared their local knowledge ensuring we fulfilled all our sightseeing requirements. Nothing was too much trouble and provided recommendations for places to eat and where the best ice cream was. A must if you’re in Tuscany we found as it’s delicious.We were aware this was their first year accepting holiday guests and we can honestly say they went above and beyond to ensure our stay was a memorable holiday which it was and they certainly met all our expectations.We would highly recommend staying here if you’re thinking of travelling to Tuscany and we can’t wait to return again soon. Thank you.

Pondere dell’Alloro is the classic Tuscan farmhouse to stay at to enjoy the beautiful surrounding Italian countryside near to the medieval hilltop township of Pallaia Recently restored to its former glory in great taste, it is hosted superbly by English couple Clare and Andy who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and memorable. We had a spacious, well equipped one bedroom ground floor apartment with an outdoor terrace with table and umbrella. Our bed was comfortable, the furniture was antique, the bathroom clean and very modern.The WiFi worked well.The large new swimming pool is a highlight, set high for outstanding viewsFor an extra €25 pp they cooked us a delicious 3 course Italian dinner with wine which we ate with them in their farmhouse kitchen. Andy speaks fluent Italian which enables him to book visits to surrounding places of interest such as the excellent nearby restaurants and wineries. In all we had a very memorable stay Thankyou Andy and Clare
