Unlike butlers and concierges at larger hotels, this retreat embraces a genuine guest house atmosphere that aligns with your true desires. It’s a place where your wishes are met with sincerity and heart.
Embracing the Tuscan Climate:
The accommodations at Poggio Ai Santi are thoughtfully oriented to harness the gifts of the local climate. Mild in winter and gently cooled in summer by the sea breeze, the Podere farmhouse, Stables, and Villa are designed to offer you the utmost comfort year-round.

Terraces and Gardens:
Whether you choose a suite in the Podere farmhouse, the Stables, or the Villa, most offer a terrace or direct access to enchanting gardens. Here, nature becomes an integral part of your romantic journey, with every step revealing a new facet of its beauty.

A lovely place with so much nature around! We loved our quiet and serene nature suite. Sitting outside during dusk and into the night was amazing.
All the staff were so friendly and nice! One felt very much welcome!
Breakfast was a delight with most of the products made by the Hotel. Dinner as well was very delicious and the view from the restaurant terrace is splendid!
The place is perfect for dog owners or dog lovers (as ourselves).
We liked that there were no small children present and the place is adults only. It helps a lot to relax and unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We would love to come back once again!

When we arrived at “Poggio Ai Santi” I knew it was going to be special.
The property is amazing and you clearly arrive in paradise.
The team there is absolutely out of this world.
The kindness, the hospitality, the proper service and manners , the smiles , the attention they give you is amazing; it’s like being home.
The owner , Francesca, is always there and has an expert eye on everything and she has this kindness and openness which is soo highly appreciated.
At the reception you have the wonderful Miriam , always eager to help and so very professional in everything she does and say.
She is such a wonderful lady!
Eva and Andrea too are so nice and have been wonderful with us all, meaning my partner and my dogs .
This place is definitely a paradise for dogs as well. We met so many people with dogs themselves and that made us create a special bond with some of them.
At the restaurant we had two great “maître “ Luca and Damiano who assured we had a great time.
The waitresses and waiters were all amazing, thank you dear Serena, Gabriele, Gabriel ,Paolo and Sara. I want to thank as well Ekaterini (Catherine) at the grill. It was such a pleasure to meet a Greek compatriot!
For breakfast I want to thank Cristina and Daniela, a pure pleasure to the ears and soul with the Brazilian accent and kindness .
For the bar thanks to Giulio, Federico Andrea , Marco and Cinzia.
Thank you Francesca for putting up this amazing place for us all coming to Poggio Ai Santi. I have spent a week of pure joy and happiness and leaving with an immense sense of gratitude!
We will be back this is a promise.
With much love for all of you
Matt , Gipsy, Hatchi and Christine

An absolutely gorgeous hotel on a hilltop farm with splendid views of the rolling hills, the sea, and on a clear day Elba. The rooms are charming. The breakfast buffet is incredible. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful. We walking from here an hour to San Vincenzo beach and back which was lovely. We were there in Spring, but were blessed with good weather. The swimming pool was under construction but by summer 2024 should be wonderful. The only downside is that the menu is very limiting for pescatarians or vegetarians (literally no options for some courses) so we ate there only once, which is a shame because the tastes were delightful. When we mentioned it we were met with “you can order vegetables” which given the entire choice was potato or fennel is not quite what we had in mind for a special meal. Nevertheless we would recommend it as a lovely place to stay.

We cannot say enough great things about Relais Poggio Ai Santi. Simply stunning hotel with incredible views, warm, attentive and friendly staff and just a great overall vibe of beauty and nature. Everyone there is happy, and how could you not be?! It is a little paradise on a mountain overlooking the sea. The decor is exquisite, stylish and charming. Every detail tastefully thought out. There were little orchards and herb gardens to wander through and adorable places throughout the property to sit and watch the sunset. We didn't want to leave!

Visited this superb hotel as part of a 50th birthday surprise for my partner. It surpassed all my expectations from the moment of booking to our arrival Miriam couldn’t have been more helpful. The suite was out of this world with a huge private terrace, and the room spacious and beautifully furnished with breathtaking views. The restaurant is relaxed and the food was stunning along with a wine list and great recommendations from the team. We visited the local beaches and the hotel made some wonderful reservations for evenings out. Couldn’t recommend this more if we tried. Lastly the frogs outside have to be mentioned with their evening banter! We will be returning very soon.

Up in the hills with sea views towards Elba this is a spotless hotel made up of comfortable suites in villas in the grounds and in the main house. A donkey and a couple of dogs keep guests company. On some days there are things to do such as archery, donkey tending, hiking, riding. Lunch and dinner - which were good - available each day and served in the pretty garden with views. Excellent breakfast. Pretty grounds and pool area and a bar and barbecue in the garden. Relaxing and a good base for exploring the area by car. A very easy drive from Pisa.

I would definitely recommend having dinner at the restaurant and a drink at the bar. Quality is great and the view and atmosphere really amazing.
The hotel, however, is a different story:
- the bed was not comfortable and the bed sheets were not of high quality
- the pool was dirty
- the bar is right below the rooms (of the main building) and sometimes have parties until late at night
At 1 night we stayed there was a party until 2am and it was so loud we could not sleep. This is not what you expect from a hotel which is set in the middle of nature and costs about 250€ a night.
Lastly the management is unprofessional.
The hotel manager did not even apologize for the inconvenience of a loud party. She said that it was because we booked through booking.com that she couldn’t change our room, then she said they were fully booked and then she said she didn’t know about the party. It was ridiculous and no compensation was offered to us.
The highlight of the hotel is actually the breakfast which is really one of the best we had.
Bottom line: great food. Hotel management must be improved.

Ultimate chill and relax amongst lovely people
Short break in Tuscany To see Andrea Bocelli in Lajatico. Concert disappointing. This hotel was superb. Very laid back. Everyone so helpful. Only three stars because of lack of room service, concierge etc. This beats every five star hotel we have stayed in. Faultless. Most relaxing time I’ve had in...
Short break in Tuscany
To see Andrea Bocelli in Lajatico.
Concert disappointing. This hotel was superb.
Very laid back. Everyone so helpful. Only three stars because of lack of room service, concierge etc. This beats every five star hotel we have stayed in.
Faultless.
Most relaxing time I’ve had in the last 20 years.
Thanks to everyone.
Food is uncomplicated and superb. Recommend rabbit stuffed with local olives.
Absolutely animal friendly, not so towards children. We are in our sixties. We will bring our grandchildren here in fifteen years time.
Please, do not change anything.
We have paid many times more for hotels in the past. Not a patch on this.

I absolutely LOVED this small hotel. Gorgeous views, stylish views and delicious food served on a pretty terrace. The pool is small, but with plenty of loungers. I particularly liked the bar area - great staff, fun music and wonderful cocktails.
What a fabulous hotel! It's really your own private hideaway!
This hotel is absolutely wonderful. The setting is spectacular. The rooms unique and interesting. The staff simply angels. The rooms are located in numerous buildings throughout the property. The rooms are large and comprised of unique and creative spaces. Although very natural, they have all the conveniences of today's world....
This hotel is absolutely wonderful. The setting is spectacular. The rooms unique and interesting. The staff simply angels.
The rooms are located in numerous buildings throughout the property. The rooms are large and comprised of unique and creative spaces. Although very natural, they have all the conveniences of today's world.
They have their own gardens, goats, chickens (yes the rooster will wake you in the morning), generate their own energy, are organic, eco friendly, etc. etc. etc.
We highly recommend this hotel if you're in the area. Now that we've found it, we have our "private suite" to go back to every time!
