Castello Poggiarello was originally constructed in the medieval times to store and protect its harvest, the walled castle was later refined by Baldassarre Peruzzi in the Renaissance for a local Prince and it still encapsulates that country elegance today. While the current owners live in the castle within the walls there are four rental apartments, a sumptuous pool garden with vineyard views, a private chapel, formal gardens, fruit/vegetable garden and a working organic vineyard that produces a small harvest annually.
A 20 minute drive from Siena, Castello Poggiarello is located in the Val di Merse, surrounded by the owners vineyards, olive groves and oak fields. It is the perfect base for exploring the Tuscan lifestyle plus the nearby Montagnola nature reserve, known for its wildlife and cork oaks accessed by marked trails for biking and hiking. Golfers will not want to miss a chance to play at Royal Golf La Bagnaia, one of the Tuscany's finest golf courses which is 13Km away. The pretty town of Sovicille is 4Km away where you will find all amenities. Florence, San Gimignano and the Chianti are easily reached for day trips.
Notes

Sehr freundliche und immer ansprechbare Gastgeber. Die Wohnung ist gut ausgestattet und schön eingerichtet.
Siena und Pienza sind herrliche Ausflugsziele. Die Trattoria Fonte Giusta in Siena - Empfehlung und Reservierung durch den Gastgeber - ist nur zu empfehlen.
