Podere Santa Chiara

Roberta’s team were very professional, and we had no reason to complain about anything else during our stay. The mistake we made was not asking for an apartment facing the pool with a view. The website shows great room views, but after checking in and walking around, we realized ours was at the back of the property, facing a huge door, with vineyards in the background.

The pool was fantastic, with a shallow end where our three-year-old could play, and you could always order a spritz or beer there. We also loved the beautifully designed, very clean rooms and the perfect breakfast and espressos. The property feels secluded beside olive groves, and it was beautiful. My wife and I spent a magnificent week here with our daughter. The service was fantastic throughout. We checked in after midnight, and Ronny was there to welcome us and help with our luggage. He seemed ready to help with anything. I highly recommend the boat tour with Ronny. It takes you to places only reachable by boat and was a highlight of our time in Italy, with real Italian summer vibes. We’ll visit again someday!

We stayed for a week with our toddler, and having lots of room to walk around was great for our little daughter. The quiet, food, apartment, view, and pool were all perfect. Breakfast was really, really nice, and the service there was great. It was also handy that we could use an electric bike for free. We had a great stay and hope to come back one day.

Ronny greeted us when we arrived earlier than expected and took care of our luggage, since there was a bit of a walk to the apartment. The room was spacious and had everything we needed, even a decent knife, which is rare! Our son was 1.5 years old, and the culla was in good condition. Roberta gave us a helpful list of things to see and do nearby. Ronny also suggested some great beaches and offered boat tours, though we couldn’t join because of personal circumstances. He was very friendly, helpful, and spoke perfect English, which isn’t always a given in this part of Italy. Breakfast had lots of choices, and the staff were lovely. There’s a nice pool for a refreshing dip, a restaurant meal option that worked well for a family holiday, and good parking. The sunset from our room was magical. Thanks for giving us a lovely holiday memory, it’s a great place to stay!
