I loved my time in Poggiolo!! I've met some of the nicest people there and everyone, who worked there, was very welcoming, open and kind and always ready to take you somewhere, be it to the supermarket or a trainstation. I definitely won't forgot that place ever and I can only recommend it to everyone!!

It was an amazing experience! Il Poggiolo is a fantastic place with the best people in it! It is quite remote but they’ll take you to the train station if you want to go to Bologna or some other place. The work is simple and it’s essentially cleaning the hostel, common areas and help at the restaurant by dinner time. The working hours are respected. The food is delicious and everyone who works there is so special and thoughtful. I can’t recommend this place enough.The location is mind-blowing! You’ll enjoy every second of it! Thank u Angelo, Nadia, Cassa, Miki, Flo, Laura, Elena. Arrivederci

A truly beautiful experience! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a break during their trip and to be in a quiet and natural place. The staff is super organized and super friendly, the tasks are very simple and they always help you with any questions. It is remote so there is not much possibility of moving independently, but they always offer you a transfer when you need it. The facilities and food are amazingggg!
Totally recommended, a refuge away from home. Thanks for everything Poggiolo🧡
