Podere Il Poggio - Famiglia Guarguaglini

The Tuscan Experience

Immerse yourself in authentic farm life and the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside

Staying at Podere Il Poggio is more than a vacation—it's an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the rhythms that have guided life here for over two centuries. From sunrise over the olive groves to evenings under starlit Tuscan skies, every moment here tells a story.

🏡

Authentic Living

Our apartments preserve the character of the original 1810 farmhouse—exposed beams, terracotta floors, and thick stone walls that keep you cool in summer and cozy in winter. This isn't a recreation of farm life; it's the real thing, lovingly maintained and shared.

🌾

Farm to Table

Taste the difference when food comes directly from the land around you. Our estate olive oil, seasonal produce, chestnuts, and house wine aren't just products—they're the culmination of centuries of agricultural knowledge and the unique character of our terroir.

🌄

Natural Beauty

Wake to birdsong and panoramic views of rolling hills. Walk through olive groves and chestnut woods. Watch the sun set over the same landscape that has inspired artists and poets for generations. The beauty here isn't manufactured—it's the result of careful stewardship and respect for the land.
