With a dramatic Tuscan-style loggia dominating its façade, it's obvious that Il Poggiale was designed to impress. In the 1400s, the property was the country retreat of Florence’s noble Corsini family, before passing through various owners to become the elegant boutique accommodation it is today.
Entering the villa’s terracotta-tiled hallways, you reach the large central drawing room complete with a small honesty bar. There's a small and intimate restaurant, along with a charming white and blue breakfast room that opens onto the main terrace. Beyond is a pleasant outdoor swimming pool — open during the summer months — which benefits from beautiful views across the surrounding olive groves and vineyards.
OUR OPINION:
The staff at Il Poggiale are incredibly welcoming and friendly. While the property can feel a little like a maze, spread across a number of levels with no elevator, its historical charm and location make it a great option that's well placed for exploring the highlights of the region.
