Villa Il Poggiale Dimora Storica is a refined 4-star Superior hotel housed in a splendid 15th-century Renaissance Villa (1400), immersed in the Tuscan countryside, among the hills of the Chianti Classico. Located a short distance from Florence (about 15 km), this period residence offers a stay experience that combines art and history, visible in the original frescoes and antique furniture, with discreet luxury and the relaxation of a modern wellness center.
The 25 rooms and suites were created from the ancient master rooms of the Villa and feature an elegant blend of Renaissance style and modern comfort. Each room is unique, characterized by exposed wooden beam ceilings, terracotta or parquet floors, and, in some, by original frescoes and decorations. All accommodations are equipped with air conditioning, minibar, satellite TV, and complimentary Wi-Fi. The Suite categories offer separate living areas and larger spaces, ideal for an extended stay.
The property boasts a magnificent Seasonal Outdoor Pool immersed in an Italian garden and surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, with a spectacular view of the surrounding countryside. For wellness and relaxation, the hotel features a welcoming Wellness Center & SPA which includes a Heated indoor pool, a relaxation area with herbal tea corner, Finnish sauna, Turkish bath, and emotional showers. Upon reservation, guests can access a wide range of massages and treatments based on local products.
The in-house restaurant, Il Vignale, celebrates the Tuscan culinary tradition, offering dishes prepared with fresh ingredients, many of which come from the Villa's organic garden. The Villa also produces its own extra virgin olive oil and Chianti Classico wine (tastings can be arranged upon request). The generous buffet breakfast is served every morning and includes homemade pastries and local savory products. In fine weather, meals are served on the panoramic terrace.
Villa Il Poggiale is the ideal venue for hosting weddings and private events thanks to its large frescoed halls and scenic gardens. The Villa also offers Tuscan cooking classes and tasting lessons. Services include 24h reception, luggage storage, and a complimentary private parking facility on-site. Due to its strategic location, the hotel organizes guided tours to the Chianti villages (like Greve and Castellina) and shuttles to Florence upon request.

His Opinion: E' un luogo ove gli amanti "dell'antico" non possono mancare: personale gentilissimo e la cura degli ambienti e' molto curata.....il panorama e' superbo, sia dal giardino che dalla comoda piscina immersa nel verde. Anche quando si "rincasa" a notte fonda, melodiose canzoni a volume soft ti accolgono nel salone d'ingresso. Solo una nota dolente e quindi un saggio consiglio: evitare la stanza classic n.1 adiacente alla vorticosa e affacendata cucina..perlomeno in Agosto
