Tuscany Holiday Villa

Situated high upon a hill and nestled between woods, the ancient Tuscany Farmhouse known as Il Poggione majestically overlooks olive orchards, vineyards, and the rolling Tuscany countryside far below its centuries old stone walls. The Tuscan villa farmhouse has been completely restored in accordance with traditional Tuscan architecture and is ideally situated in central Tuscany near the small medieval walled town of Palaia.

The highway that connects Pisa with Florence is a short 10 minutes away from the Tuscany farm. Guest enjoy their Tuscany farmhouse accommodations relaxing under the Tuscan sun in the huge flowered garden and upon the green expansive lawn that surrounds the farmhouse villa. The accommodations are complete with a wonderful pool and carefully placed shaded hammocks to provide comfort on warm, sunny Tuscany summer afternoons.
