About the host
Hosted by Alex Subrizi
Born tender in Milan, hardened in New York City, softened again in San Francisco, I'd worked two decades at the intersection of design and technology in the retail, industrial, and health sectors and was making my name as a professional photographer when, in 2005, aged 42, I returned, like a trout swimming upstream, to Tuscany.
Now 60, when I'm not caring for Poggiosole's olive groves or welcoming guests I'm with one or more of my kids or a close friend or two, grooving to a good tune or hiking in the mountains. I also like spending time in my kitchen. And I have a weakness for grappa stravecchia and Oaxacan Old Fashioneds, neither of which are ever combined with my spirited driving on twisty Tuscan roads.
I never thought I'd enjoy hosting as much as I do. But I do.

Why they chose this property
Even after 15 years of welcoming guests to our little corner of Tuscany, we continue to consider Poggiosole a work in progress. Guests remark the interiors look "fresh", but no one can deny the buildings are old, and the contrast is alluring.
From the outset my family's goal was to create an experience tied to our own pleasure of re-discovering this land, and nearby towns and cities, upon returning to Tuscany in 1999 after many years living abroad. The people here are genuine, if sometimes a bit disgruntled. Italy has a way of reducing, in contrast to the American drive for more. Each has its appeal for me.
Just outside our lodgings are Poggiosole's olive groves: one part pride, two parts passion, 500 trees and lots of work. We make our own extra virgin oil, amongst the finest in our area. A small decanter of this emerald liquid awaits guests in each of the farmhouse's two kitchens.

What makes this property unique
The farmhouse or fienile (Italian for hay loft) where our lodgings are located was totally rebuilt from the old stone walls and original roof tiles in 2005-2006, upgraded in 2021 and further refined in 2022-23. Numerous touches lend Poggiosole an air of understated luxury:
Alessi cookware, Wüsthof knives, Ginori dinnerware, a commercial Nespresso Zenius machine (with limitless coffee pods in three varieties), a Dualit toaster and Bosch mixer in each kitchen, a Dyson Supersonic hair dryer in each bathroom, Anker wireless iQ chargers on each bedside table, high-end audio gizmos by B&O, Cambridge Audio and Wyred 4 Sound to stream your favorite tunes, Chromecast-enabled flatscreen TVs, Led Lenser flashlights and contemporary and period furniture and accessories from Vitra, Cassina, Artemide, FLOS, Fratelli Tagliabue, Stokke, UNOPIÙ and MUJI. The reach is for deep quality. I think you will be very hard-pressed to find another vacation rental in Tuscany, whether the owners call it a villa or a palazzo or whatever, with living spaces and kitchens is as well-appointed as Poggiosole's.
Our goal has been to juxtapose the elegant, international flavor of 20th Century high design with the very local and timeless rough textures of our roof timbers, our stone and terracotta exteriors, our land, and our hundreds of fruit trees.
