The name “Poggio Paradiso Resort & Spa” sounds ambitious, but our experience was far from that. Check‑in felt hectic, intrusive, and oddly obsessed with repeatedly telling us how beautiful the property was, as if our first impression was already pre‑planned. The “Spa Resort” label is misleading; there’s no traditional spa area for guests—only individual saunas that can be booked separately for an extra fee, which stretches the definition of a spa. The property might be beautiful, but the current state is frustrating. A huge white plastic marquee with plastic chairs and artificial grass dominates the supposed Tuscan setting right next to the pool, and the real highlight was an active construction site less than five metres from the pool. Workers, noise, and a concrete mixer were practically part of the pool area, with dust, dirt, and construction smells drifting over the sun loungers. Nothing says “Tuscan paradise” like relaxing beside a concrete mixer while inhaling construction fumes. The room itself was disappointing, especially in terms of cleanliness and poor soundproofing. On the bright side, breakfast was very good, most staff were friendly, and despite the marquee, construction site, and other operational issues, the property could be genuinely beautiful somewhere. Unfortunately, we paid to stay at Poggio Paradiso Resort & Spa, not to imagine what it might be like once the tent and concrete mixer disappear. It was a deeply disappointing experience, and during our stay at least, “Paradiso” was only in name.
