Villa il Poggiale, which falls under the category of "Historic Italian Homes," is a guest house near San Casciano in Val di Pesa in the heart of the Chianti wine producing area. The hotel is a Renaissance villa that has been fully restored by the owners to offer great hospitality in a family setting. 

The Relais Villa Il Poggiale, surrounded by tall cypress trees, overlooks vineyards and olive groves that bring to mind scenes and landscapes from Italian Renaissance paintings.

The most stunning Tuscan cities such as Florence, Siena, Pisa, and Lucca are nearby and make perfect destinations for wonderful day trips to take in the history, flavors and smells of one of the most beautiful regions in the world. On your return "home" to the Poggiale in the evening you can take a swim in the pool, have a drink in the garden among the perfumed roses, and dine by candlelight on delicious Tuscan fare in the restaurant. Many wonderful experiences will make your stay truly unforgettable.
