Il Poggio
is a farm set in 70 hectares among the green hills of the Tuscan countryside.
The large stone-farmhouse, situated on its own hill, offers a wide, spectacular "vista" of the gentle rolling countryside of the Upper Tiber Valley.Green hills merge into olive groves then continue to merge into vineyards, fields and silent rows of cypresses, offering possibilities for relaxing walks while enjoying the great view of the lake and valley below.
The farmhouse has been recently restored maintaining the traditional atmosphere of a typical Tuscan farm house. With beamed ceilings, stone walls and tiled floors, the house is very comfortably furnished with antiques.

Secluded by well-established trees from both, the house and the rest of the gardens, is the private swimming pool surrounded by lawns and a furnished pergola. Swimming in the oversized pool, 7 x 14m (21 x 42ft), surrounded by olive groves and lavander bushes, creates an incredible wellness to both, body and soul.
The delightful geographic position makes Il Poggio an ideal place for a very comfortable holiday in complete privacy, within easy daily reach of the most beautiful cultural and artistic towns and cities of Tuscany and Umbria. Sansepolcro is approximatly 5 km away and lies in a valley where the river Tiber begins. A town steeped in art with remnants from 14th and 15th century, it was the birthplace of Piero della Francesca, some of whose paintings can be seen in the local museum. Even though Florence, Arezzo, Siena and Perugia are the more famous cities, there are equally memorable places like Monterchi, Anghiari, Gubbio, Cortona, Assisi, the Franciscan Sanctuary in La Verna and Caprese Michelangelo the birthplace of the great Michelangelo Buonarroti. All this is a fascinating itinerary in the heart of the region where the Renaissance has its deep roots. AtIl Poggio's guests disposal is information about local history, folklore and about traditional cuisine of our typical restaurants. There is no better way to explore and appreciate Tuscany than from the comfort and the convenience of a sojourn in an old countryhouse. We are looking forward to welcoming you among our valued guests.
