Poggio al Sole is a small family-run farmhouse among the beautiful hills of Fiesole, just outside of Florence. The name literally means “sunny hillock” as the farm sits upon a knoll that is often warmed up by the sun. Giovanni and his family personally manage the agriturismo, their goal to make their guests feel like they are at home.
Traditional Tuscan style meets modern comforts
The farmhouse has 5 bedrooms, 4 doubles and a triple bedroom, furnished in typical Tuscan style and located with the main house and the barn, an original structure. All the bedrooms have private services and are equipped with all of the main comforts, including a safe, television, hair dryer and Internet Wi-Fi access.
Common areas for relaxing and tastings
The beautiful garden and the ancient loggia, with its large windows overlooking the valley, are ideal places in which to relax in and enjoy the quiet Tuscan countryside.
The old wine cellar in the main house has been transformed into a pleasant space dedicated to tastings and the sale of the farm's biological products, including extra virgin olive oil and saffron.
The quiet of the countryside on the city's doorstep
Poggio al Sole, surrounded by fruit trees, olive groves and cypresses, offers guests a quiet and relaxing atmosphere just a few kilometers from Florence. The farmhouse offers the ideal accommodation for spending a peaceful holiday in the Tuscan countryside while being really close to Florence and its museums and main sights. Enjoy the city by day and in the evening take in the breathtaking sunsets over the valley with a glass of wine at hand.
