"Agriturismo Antiche Dimore di Poggianto" is a property with a pool and a restaurant, nestled in the Valdarno countryside and ideally located for exploring Tuscany and all its beauty. From here, you can easily reach the renowned art cities such as Florence, Siena, Arezzo, Cortona, San Gimignano, as well as the regions of Chianti, Valdichiana, and Casentino. In the vicinity, in addition to hiking and cycling, you can enjoy golf, tennis, horseback riding, or simply relax in thermal baths. For those who love to indulge in shopping, there are plenty of outlets featuring Italy's most famous fashion brands.

The holiday farm has been recently restored and now retains all the classic architectural aspects of old Tuscan dwellings (cotto or stone floors, oak beams, brick arches), but it was also endowed with a modern touch to add all comforts.

The apartments have each their private entrance, a garden and a reserved area by the swimming pool. In the main house we have five apartments of different sizes and then there is the Cottage, which may be divided into two separate flats and, being detached and surrounded by a large garden, is ideal for groups.

There is also a small playground for the children, near the pool, and a restaurant, with typical courses from the Tuscan tradition, prepared exclusively with local products and organic vegetables from our farm that you may taste in the outdoor panoramic loggia.

We have bikes for our guests and a common laundry room.

The Upper Valdarno is a large natural trough, closed north and east by the Pratomagno Mountains and bordered on the west by the Chianti Mountains. In the Middle Ages, the valley was long disputed between Florence and Arezzo, and today its regions are divided between the two capitals. Numerous archaeological finds of Etruscan and Roman period testify that these areas were already populated in the Archaic period.

The prinipale towns are Montevarchi, San Giovanni Valdarno and Terranuova Bracciolini.

On the slopes of Pratomagno, the "Cassia Vetus", the ancient road that connected the "lucumonia" of Arezzo to Fiesole, now named route "Setteponti". Along the road, "The Cliffs", spectacular landscapes with striking phenomena of clay soil erosion, the Roman Bridge Buriano of 1200 and many other historical and natural places to visit.
