Il PoggioloTuscany is pleased to provide an allergy-sensitive environment for guests. While each person’s allergies are very specific, we have tried to eliminate the most common allergy triggers, beginning with a no-pet and no-smoking policy.
Inside, dust and molds are everyone’s biggest enemy. That is why there are no dust-catching drapes but rather traditional wooden shutters (scuri) on bedroom windows. The floors are a beautiful Italian tile. Rigorous cleaning standards are applied before and after each rental. The beds are all orthopedic (wooden slats) and the pillows, covers and mattresses are hypo-allergenic
A country house is by definition in the midst of nature, where allergens are hard to control. Nonetheless, on our property we have avoided planting the most common allergy-producing trees, bushes, and flowers (such as mimosa).
For those with special diet requirements, a variety of alternative foods – such as milk substitutes and gluten-free products – are easily available in the area.
NO ANIMALS
We love animals, but due to the allergies of many of our guests (as well as our own), we must maintain a strict no-pet policy.
Guests arriving with pets will not be permitted to check in and will forfeit the entire rental fee.
NO SMOKING
It is also required that there be no smoking inside the buildings. Each accommodation has a garden and lots of space outdoors where it is possible to smoke in comfort.
