Poggio al Sole

Poggio al Sole is a small family-run farm and rural B&B, a special place from which you can reach Florence, Fiesole, and the other artistic towns in Tuscany. Guests are welcome in a warm and friendly way, and tranquillity and great care are guaranteed.

We left the original country features of the two buildings that constitute the farm; luckily both the farmhouse and the barn were kept unchanged until nowadays.

Three large double rooms are set in the barn, which was left stone rough. The rooms have been given flower names: Broom, Iris, and Jasmine, and they all have private bathrooms and heating, though the remodelling kept the purest Tuscan style in the rough beams, in the brick floors, the solid wood doors, windows, and furniture. The ancient loggia, formerly used to keep the tools, now serves as an entrance to the rooms and common hall, but is at the same time a genuine panoramic balcony over the valley and the land, planted with vines, olive and fruit trees.

On the front, a large threshing floor shaded by a century-old oak tree, which the local farmers used to call Chioppone, and other trees, which guarantee coolness in the summer.

The first floor of the farmhouse hosts the family's apartment and Alba (Dawn), and Tramonto (Sunset), two large double rooms for the guests, both with private bathroom and heating, and both with a breathtaking view of the valley.

On the ground floor there are the kitchen, the dining room with fireplace, and other service rooms.
