Podere il Poggiolo  

Perched on a panoramic hill in Chianti Rufina, this family-run farm stay sits in Pontassieve about 23 km from Florence and just 3 km from the nearest train station. Historic Florence highlights like Piazzale Michelangelo, the Academy Gallery and Santa Croce are within easy reach for day trips.

A small property with seven independent units (five apartments and two double rooms) keeps the vibe calm and intimate. Each accommodation has a private entrance, outdoor space with olive-grove views, air conditioning, a desk and private bathroom with rainfall shower; daily housekeeping and cribs are available on request.

The estate offers a large outdoor pool (13.5 x 6 m), a BBQ area and a new horse-riding arena — perfect for active, relaxed days. Guests enjoy free self-parking, elevator access for mobility needs, laundry service, transfer options and estate-only use of the restaurant and pool. Wake up to olive-grove mornings and panoramic countryside views.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and in-room desks make it easy to handle quick work tasks.

An on-site restaurant reserved for guests serves Tuscan, farm-to-table recipes made with the farm's organic wine, extra-virgin olive oil and kitchen-garden produce. A buffet breakfast is available daily from 8:30 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee.
