We spent one week off-season in Poggio. Nice quiet village, nice people. The owner is very nice and friendly, and so are the neighbors, especially if you speak italian, but they also speak english. The appartment is exactly as described, with a private table and lounge chairs. The village is pedestrian-only, the minimum distance you have to walk for unloading is felt 200 meters and height feeling like a 3 story house. For daily parking, it is more like 5 min with stairs leading up and down. Lots of cats along the way, all in good shape and well fed. Three nice restaurants in the village, with special food ‚genovese style‘ in Sciamadda. A walkway up to Mone Capanne starts directly behind the village, climbing up hiking, going down by cable car and then 20 min walking along street from Marciana. If you plan to spend all days at the beach, Poggio is probably not the best place, especially in high season when car parking at the beaches is difficult. But a very good place to make a mix of beach, hiking and touring the island.
