"The closest you get to Paradise" - this is how clients describe this place
Agriturismo Il Poderino is beautifully located on a hilltop in the heart of Chianti, offering unforgettable experiences in the most scenic part of Tuscany. Just a short drive from the iconic town of San Gimignano, surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this old farmhouse – lovingly restored – is the perfect retreat for those seeking both tranquility and authentic Tuscan charm.
The Accommodations
The property offers three cozy apartments, each with its own terrace overlooking the vineyards. Each apartment is decorated with great personality and attention to detail, and it is clear that the hosts, Elena and Pier Hugo, have put their whole heart into creating a place where you can feel at home. Their warm hospitality and care for the surroundings – from the beautifully landscaped gardens to the charming flower pots by the pool – create a sense of being close to nature in a well-maintained and inviting way.
The Garden and Outdoor Areas
In addition to the welcoming accommodations, you can relax by the lovely swimming pool (6 x 12 m, depth 120–240 cm). In 2022, a house with five rooms was built next to the pool. Around the pool and throughout the property, there are lush flowers and green areas, and no matter where you are, you can enjoy the breathtaking view over the vineyards and olive groves stretching as far as the eye can see. For those who love to explore, there are also fantastic hiking trails in the area, allowing you to experience more of the unique Tuscan nature.
A Special Experience
One of the experiences that truly makes a stay at Il Poderino unforgettable is the hosts' wine and olive oil production. As guests, you will be invited to a free tour of the wine cellar, where you can taste the wine produced on-site and gain insight into the traditional methods used. While Elena serves the wine, you can enjoy the stunning view over the vineyards and olive groves – an experience that captures the essence of Tuscany.
