Breakfast
The morning can be seen from the start, and the day at Poecylia begins with a rich buffet breakfast in a charming setting, with a stunning view of the garden and the sea.

At Poecylia, breakfast can be enjoyed until late morning. Sleep is sacred in this place, which is chosen to regenerate both the body and the spirit.

On the buffet, there are products of all kinds and quality, organic, fresh, preferably locally sourced. The bread is homemade, and the cakes, prepared with care and genuine ingredients, are a must on the buffet. Organic fruit jams, handmade with cane sugar, different types of organic Sardinian and local honey, and local cheese and cold cuts for those who prefer a salty taste. Fruit, fruit, fruit!
There are also various types of plant-based milk for vegetarians and homemade yogurt. Gluten-free products are available upon request.

The coffee is from a Neapolitan roaster, in different blends, for a burst of energy, to be enjoyed perhaps on a chaise lounge overlooking the sea.

Hey from Piero

Friendly, sunny, eclectic, artistic, creative, Piero runs the guesthouse with Simona.

In their company the days at Poecylia pass between chats, smiles, cuddles and discreet attention.

Wonderful evenings together under the stars chatting about Life, the Universe, Art, Photography, with a glass of myrtle and a sweet dessert prepared by Simona.

Area seaside
Becco is the most gorgeous mines area of San Pietro's island. Here Mediterranean nature is wild and pristine. Only 5 minutes by car far from Poecylia, there is the natural Oasis of Carloforte, the best place to observe Queen's Falcons, which are protected by the experts of LIPU. Nearby, 5 minutes by car, there is Cape Sandalo's Lighthouse, Capo Sandalo and Cala Vinagra. The town and the marina of Carloforte is 5 km away from here.

To be avoided at all costs! The very attractive website of this 'resort' sells you a dream! The highly retouched photos and corresponding descriptions suggest a chic hippie retreat? Error. After a long journey on a barely passable road (careful with your cars!), you discover the building housing the rooms, a bit neglected, with vague psychedelic paintings, a cement terrace, no one to welcome you. Had you thought you would see a resort nestled on a promontory overlooking the sea? Error. If the owners' house and common areas are on the famous promontory, your rooms are instead located in a basin without a view, I imagine that in summer it must be an oven. Imagine that each room has, as it should, its own private space? Error. All the rooms are grouped together in a sort of rectangular barracks, they are lined up next to each other, the French doors follow one another and overlook a cement terrace where the only demarcation between the respective 'pieces' of terrace are hanging sheets! Perhaps the interior of the rooms will redeem the rest? Error. They are spartan rooms, very small, you have 3 hangers behind a curtain to hang your clothes and that's it, the bed is hard as a rock, the tiny bathroom looks straight out of the '60s, the towels are rough, the decor is... nonexistent. The sales conditions require payment of half the stay at booking, the rest at check-in. Error. The owners asked me to settle the balance a week before while I politely confirmed my coming via email. To be completely fair, I must say that the owners are very kind, which cannot compensate in my eyes for all the huge defects, calculated or not given the price, of their structure.

The answer from the host:
Dispiace per queste considerazioni, che non rispecchiano la realtà, ma semplicemente l'opinione di chi non ha fatto una scelta consapevole, ma superficiale, a partire dalla critica alla strada di accesso, non asfaltata o cementata, ma immersa nella natura, perché all'interno di un'oasi protetta. La nostra dimora è scelta, da anni, da innumerevoli ospiti, abituali e nuovi, che, sempre entusiasti, gioiscono nei loro soggiorni, perché desiderano vivere l'atmosfera e la filosofia di un luogo lontano dagli stereotipi. D'altronde si è subito visto che queste persone non erano adatti a questo luogo, perché abituati a realtà tristi e grigie, ad una tecnologia invasiva ed inquinante che noi abbiamo bandito, sin dall'inizio, senza alcun compromesso. Questo genere di persone, per il loro livello culturale e sensibilità, non sono adatte alla nostra dimora, ma sono perfette per case, alberghi, con tutte le "comodità" e "tecnologie", tipiche di tristi, cementati centri urbani, o di squallide periferie. -We are sorry for these considerations, which do not reflect reality, but simply the opinion of those who have not made a conscious but superficial choice, starting with the criticism of the access road, not paved or cemented, but immersed in nature, because inside of a protected oasis. Our home has been chosen for years by countless guests, repeat and new, who, always enthusiastic, enjoy their stays, because they want to experience the atmosphere and philosophy of a place far from stereotypes. On the other hand, it was immediately seen that these people weren't suitable for this place, because they were used to sad and gray realities, to an invasive and polluting technology that we have banned, from the beginning, without any compromise. This kind of people, due to their level of culture and sensitivity, are not suitable for our homes, but they are perfect people for homes, hotels, with all the "comforts" and "technologies" typical of sad, cemented urban centres, or squalid suburbs. - Nous sommes désolés pour ces considérations, qui ne reflètent pas la réalité, mais simplement l'avis de ceux qui n'ont pas fait un choix conscient mais superficiel, à commencer par la critique de la route d'accès, non pavée ni cimentée, mais immergée dans la nature, à l'intérieur de une oasis protégée. Notre maison est choisie depuis des années par d'innombrables hôtes, habitués et nouveaux, qui, toujours enthousiastes, apprécient leurs séjours, car ils veulent découvrir l'atmosphère et la philosophie d'un lieu loin des stéréotypes. Par contre, on a tout de suite vu que ces gens n'étaient pas adaptés à cet endroit, car ils étaient habitués à des réalités tristes et grises, à une technologie invasive et polluante que nous avons bannie, depuis le début, sans aucun compromis. Ce type de personnes, en raison de leur niveau de culture et de sensibilité, ne convient pas à nos maisons, mais ce sont des personnes parfaites pour les maisons, les hôtels, avec tout le "confort" et les "technologies" typiques des centres urbains tristes et cimentés, ou banlieues sordides.

Paradise. We just returned last night, we had a 4-day stay with friends. Enchanting place, on top of a beautiful promontory where you can enjoy beautiful sunsets, there are no words to describe them. Piero and Simona, the owners, are wonderful people, full of attention and care, very friendly, people you can't forget. Compliments also to Dinesh, the guy who works with them, a sunny person, always smiling. Vacation to repeat! The Tuscans... Monica, Stefano, Roberta and Andrea.

Posto magico! Piero e Simona sono due persone splendide: accoglienti, generosi nel comunicare e nel farti sentire unico e coccolato. Gli spazi, sia le camere che i luoghi in condivisione, sono curati e ricchi di particolari che ti fanno sentire come a casa di amici. Esperienza nutriente e stimolante per tutti i sensi e in tutti i sensi! È nostro desiderio ritornarci per più giorni e ci piacerebbe trovare materassi più adatti al piano di appoggio in muratura. Di più non potremmo chiedere. Grazie di tutto!
