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
The owner lives in the castle and uses home grown produce to prepare meals for guests served in the Renaissance kitchen garden or in the vaulted interior, breakfast is also available all on request. A vineyard tour is offered to all guests. There is a shady children's play ground.

Erg leuk slapen in een kasteel! Toen we de eigenaar, een hele lieve vrouw, hadden gevonden kon het genieten beginnen. Zwembad hadden we dagelijks bijna alleen voor ons zelf en werd iedere dag schoon gemaakt. Appartement was ruim en schoon. Echt de binnenkant van een kasteel. Bedden konden iets confortabeler en wasmachine deed niet wat het moest doen...Dichtbij zit een klein restaurant, reserveren is nodig anders geen plek. Eten is erg lekker!
