Avoid at any cost
They put us i na shack by the pool. During the night bugs crawled through the cracks. I stayed awake all the night guarding my kids. Horrible place.

Awesome place in the region
We needed a place to stay while visiting the nearby Tarot Garden and this place was perfect. It is very peaceful new and clean and the pool is really really nice. The hosts were very helpful and the breakfast was awesome. From here we were easily able to visit the Tarot Garden and the nearby town of Capalbio, where the host recommended a truly delicious restaurant. If I was coming back I would stay here again.

Out of the way hotel.
We were only a few miles from the main road coming from Lucca and it took us FOREVER to find. No one in either town surrounding it knew where it was when we asked. Finally, a pizza restaurant owner knew and directed us after we were lost for an hour. Gates in front hid the place from the country road. We thought it would be closer to the sea. Owner preferred that we pay in cash (odd.) We did have a wonderful dinner down the road at "La Silva" and we had the pool in the lovely gardens surrounding the hotel to ourselves which was beautiful.

Stay away! Rude Innkeeper w/ questionable ethics
My husband and I booked a loft double room on Travelocity for 69 euros, about one month ahead. Upon arrival at about 6pm on a Sun evening, the innkeeper claimed there was a problem with our card so he had rented the room to someone else. We confirmed with our credit card company that there was not (and had not been) a problem, proved that to the innkeeper, who promptly charged our card and escorted us to a room in the basement. I am not kidding! We declined that room and he very angrily with arms waving and Italian screaming, took us to a 2nd floor room, threw the key down on the bed and slammed the door. When my husband tried to talk to him later, he said he was tired and for my husband to go away. We drove into the tiny town and the only place open had carry out pizza. We brought it back to the hotel and the same grumpy innkeeper was on the front porch, yelling "no food inside, you must eat outdoors". What he's doing is dishonest and hopefully he will not be allowed to continue in that manner. We will never return.

Quaint, beautiful getaway
We enjoyed our stay at the hotel. It's a beautiful hotel with a great staff, who were very helpful. We had some difficulty finding the hotel with our GPS, but there were plenty of signs to follow. The room was very clean and comfortable. The air conditioner worked well. Internet only worked in the lobby. Breakfast was very good and was included. There is not a lot to do in the immediate area, but it was a nice stopping point on our way to Rome.

Quietness and beautiful view from comfortable room
We stayed at the hotel for one night only, but it was a very good experience. A very nice and comfortable place. We enjoyed the quietness and the beautiful area. The room was big with an enormous terrace with a beautiful view towards the sea. And all that for a very affordable price. We highly recommend this hotel - also for longer stays.

Struttura accogliente con piscina e comfort
La struttura è nuova e accogliente, personale gentile.Da sottolineare che i proprietari hanno anche preparato una torta squisita senza glutine per colazione, essendo uno di noi intollerante; molto apprezzata. Unica pecca del soggiorno la ricezione del Wi-Fi non sempre impeccabile (a intermittenza e lenta).

La ringraziamo per l'ottima recensione ricevuta. Per quanto riguarda il Wifi concordiamo con lei per il problema da lei accusato, saltuariamente determinatosi, ma non dipendente però dalla nostra struttura. Nel periodo da lei programmato, il segnale Internet adsl non sempre è stato assicurato dalla Tim impr.semplice nella nostra zona. A ben riceverla comunque in altra gradita circostanza.

Horror stay.. not to believe
We should never have chosen this hotel, we would never never have been in such a horror situation. We arrived in the evening about 1800 and the "General Manager" told us immediately that the booked Loft is not the best room they have.... he was right!!! We couldn't believe wagt we saw as we have been showed the room: a dark, hot mansarde room with two little roof windows.... the temparature was about 45 degrees in the room, the climate works only for 5 minutes. On the roof there have been about 40 doves, doves who were sitting on the windows, making noise and flying around. The lightning in the room is unprofessional (no LED lightning), so the room became a Sauna!! We asked to change the room - which the "General Manager" offered, for another 298 Euro more, so we had instead of an offer of 1229 Euro now an amount of 1527 Euro, for one week!!! After a night without sleeping (because of heat, of noisy doves, of crying cocks 4 o'clock in the morning, we decided to leave the hotel - and hoped with the "General Manager" find an solution. We offered hin to pay one night plus someone Extras...No way!!! He already charged the credit Card with the amount of 1229 Euro, on the 31th of july!!!!! And he said that he is not here for making fun, but for making business!!! He screamed, he insulted us and then, he sent us out of the hotel! We paid also for one horror night 1228 Euro. we had to go back to the hotel with the police, were false promises were made in front of the officer.

Response from Giovanni - Villapoggiochiaro owner on 19 Aug 2017
Why keep losing money with lawyers and more ...... Mrs. Thomet? ...... accept an uninterested advice from the Direction of the Villapoggiochiaro resort Please review our cancellation policies carefully contracted by Expedia and then do what you feel most appropriate. The room booked, after the anticipated departure just for your one-sided choice, since we had offered you an apartment for 4 nights and a terrace room for the remaining two nights was found not occupied by new customers for the 6 nights of the missed failure living room. Therefore, the debit of the entire amount spent on your Vs stay, according to written and verifiable rules on all our OTA sites and ours, as well as for obvious damages suffered, is widely justified and does not cause any refund of € 500, promised, Only in the presence of a new and compensatory occupation of the accommodation you reserved and then refused, having also proposed, as mentioned above, compensatory housing at a lower cost (see Expedia rates that are congruent with the reserved period). Then. Good luck ... Swiss friends

Not worth the money! It was expensive! But the worth thing was the owner! Not service minded at all! Seamed to be more intrested about our money. The hotel is located in the middle of nowhere. We do not recomed this hotel!

Ottimo soggiorno vicino al mare
Struttura molto bella e ben tenuta. Giardino lussureggiante con grande piscina e angolo relax. Camera spaziosa con bel balcone co affaccio sulla piscina e dal quale si poteva vedere il mare e Capalbio. Ottima colazione servita all'esterno, sotto un grazioso patio, con diverse torte fatte in casa. Per chi lo preferisce, c'è anche il salato. Personale molto gentile e premuroso. Molto consigliato.

Una notte in coppia
Albergo carino e ben tenuta con una buona posizione, vista la breve distanza dal mare (pochi minuti di macchina). Il voto al servizio risente del fatto che arrivando prima dell'ora tuo del check-in non è consentito utilizzare la piscina (peraltro vuota, quindi senza causare sovraffollamento), aspetto sul quale molte strutture si dimostrano più flessibili. Per il resto, nulla da eccepire.

Unpleasant experience ((
It was unpleasant when the owner wanted us to pay all the time and offered more and more. The bed was uncomfortable and creaky. Shame for 4* hotel. Hotel was clean. Breakfast was basic, disappointed with hard bread, it seemed they had it for 3 days. Seems like a scam place for the money paid.

propriétaire à éviter
Endroit à avoir absolument une voiture. La plage est à 4 min environ en auto et la ville la plus près environ 10 min. Notre chambre était grande mais improvisée dans un entretoit ce qui fait en sorte que la moitié de la chambre est non utilisable pour une personne de 5'-8''. La douche minuscule, pour faire pipi mon copain devait se tordre le cou! Belle piscine et endroit très propre. Le tenancier a enfermé mon copain par erreur à l'extérieur car il est allé fumer a minuit vu qu'on avait pas de terrasse (il exige de garder les clés meme si tu vas à la piscine) et cela lui a pris 2h avant d'aller ouvrir à 2h du matin en lui criant a tue tête à moitié nue. Le lendemain il m'a chicané (moi qui n'avait aucune idée de la situation) comme quoi mon copain était un voleur et a briser des choses et m'a obligé à payer des trucs qu'il "aurait brisé" alors qu'il n'est jamais allé dans ce coin de la villa. Pour l'attitude abjecte du propriétaire je ne recommanderais jamais cet hotel... j'avais aussi lu un commentaire du genre sur cet hotel mais n'y avais pas cru !

Bella villa vicino alla spiaggia di Chiarone. Peccato che la descrizione delle camere presente sul sito sia evidentemente fasulla e non corrisponda alle effettive caratteristiche delle camere, vogliate provvedere a correggere.

Nice rooms, bad location
We stayed here one night. The place is nice, but it is situated in some kind of semi-industrial agricultural land (ugly landscape). Pescia Romana (the nearest village) is not a nice place for tourists.

Proprietario premuroso, affabile, accogliente. La zona e' in una campagna ridente, priva di inquinamento anche acustico. E' sicuramente un soggiorno da consigliare alla maggior parte dei turisti.
