Agriturismo Poggiacolle

Die Lage, der Pool, das Frühstück, das Carport und der freundliche Empfang.

The location offers a nice view on San Gimignano. We could leave our bikes in a locked place, that was nice. We had one of the rooms upstairs which has a large common kitchen/sitting room equipped with a watercooker, coffee machine and fridge. Breakfast was good selection with fresh coffee.

This place was absolutely charming and a dream, and exceeded every expectation for an incredible Tuscan vacation. This was far and away the best place we stayed in Italy, and not just because of the beautiful location. The hosts, the facilities, and the whole process was just far above anything else we experienced. If I could give it 20 stars I would. Poggiacolle is a rustic Tuscan vineyard and olive orchard just outside of San Gimignano. The original buildings have been tastefully updated with modern comforts while retaining the antique roots. There are two buildings with several rooms each, and a separate building converted for dining and events. But it always felt quiet, peaceful and private. This particular booking had a well equipped kitchen and roomy living area with 2 separate bedrooms/bathrooms on the first floor with a direct view of the medieval town. It was so incredible to wake up every morning and enjoy the views just outside our door. The location was very convenient, just an hour outside Florence and a 5 minute drive into San Gimignano, which is a quaint and well preserved medieval hilltop town which is quickly becoming a popular tourist destination. But there is plenty of parking just outside the walls making it easy to walk in. We also toured Volterra, Lucca, and Montepulciano. Just note that this is in the country, so you can expect some gravel roads, steep and windy hills and narrow roads depending on where you are headed. Stefano was so incredibly friendly and helpful, who clearly takes a lot of pride in his family's multi-generational vineyard. We were greeted with bottles of wine and olive oil to taste and more was available for purchase. The white Vernaccia DOCG was our favorite of the whole trip. A delicious breakfast and laundry facilities are available for a extra fee. This is a family farm, not a corporate managed inn and it shows. This is truly the Tuscan vacation you are looking for.

Location is amazing: beautiful hills, full of olive trees and vineyards, with a magnificent view of medieval San Gimignano just few kilometers away. The farmhouse is spacious, cozy, tastefully decorated, equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Our host, Stefano, was so helpful, friendly, and welcoming! He did everything possible to make us feel at home. And he greeted us with a bottle of wine from his winery and a bottle of delicious olive oil from his garden. We were happy to stay there and did not want to leave.
