Poggio Al Palio Aparthotel San Lorenzo a Merse

Review by hotel critic

Nestled amidst the serene beauty of Tuscany, Poggio Al Palio Aparthotel is a hidden gem that captivates the heart and soul. As an art historian hailing from the vibrant state of New York, I seek places that not only offer comfort and luxury but also echo the rich tapestry of Italian culture. My recent family stay was nothing short of magical.With family in tow, we reveled in the spacious 2-bedroom apartment, where each ensuite bathroom was a thoughtful touch, especially for time-conscious travelers. The well-equipped kitchen became our culinary haven, fostering moments of togetherness over delicious homemade meals. Francy, the epitome of graciousness, stood as a beacon of assistance, ensuring our every need was met with a warm smile.Our children, aged 2 and 5, found joy in exploring the expansive grounds, running freely in the open air as we soaked in the picturesque views. Bike hire added an extra element of adventure, allowing us to discover the surrounding area popular for cycling. The inviting swimming pool became a hub of laughter and relaxation, a focal point for family bonding.As an aficionado of thoughtful details, I appreciated the bug repellent and snacks provided, a testament to the hosts' dedication to guest comfort. Dining at the property was a gastronomic delight, with fresh vegetables accentuating authentic Italian flavors. For families seeking a welcoming retreat imbued with Italian charm, this aparthotel stands as a beacon of hospitality and warmth. Thank you for an unforgettable experience - we eagerly anticipate our next rendezvous with this idyllic oasis.
