Agriturismo San Carlo — Hotel in Pomarance

The hosts were very nice, always in a good mood, smiling. Breakfast was great, bread and jams, cakes, cookies, cheese, meat, tomato, fruit, good coffee.||The location was nice but we (at I Reucci) had a view of the giant geothermal facilities in the far distance, which look like a nuclear power plant, and despite being told right away that it was not that, the smoke stacks still spoiled the otherwise beautiful views. ||The location was quiet, away from the main road, but a convenient 5 min drive to a large supermarket.||The pool was nice, we were there in October and it was heated, which was fantastic especially for our kids.||The only complaint I would make is that the facilities at the farm were really sparse. Which is a shame. It wasn't that we needed much more, but it did make us feel a bit unwelcome to find that the towels were more like kitchen cloths, shampoo was provided in small plastic pouches, 1 per person. Kitchen had no cleaning supplies, no detergent, no sponge. Although the web site says free internet, this is only available in a small spot in the shared garden.

The San Carlo is an organic working farm. They have large vegetable gardens, olive groves, vineyards, and they grow organic wheat which is made into the most delicious pasta. The spacious apartment my husband and I rented included 2 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a full kitchen, dining and living area and outdoor eating area. It was a major challenge to find the place, but once there, everything was just lovely. We signed up for an optional Tuscan cooking class and enjoyed it very much. We also opted to make reservations for a traditional Tuscan meal (dinners are served twice weekly) and it was beautiful as well as delicious. There are activities for families and kids including a swimming pool and table tennis. It is also pet friendly. Internet is available, but service is spotty. There is not a lot to do in the area, as the town of Pomarance is very small. But, it's the perfect vacation spot if you are looking for beautiful views, friendly people,...
