The Fienile at Il POGGIOLO is an independent cottage on private villa property. It is available for short stays (min. 7 nights), for sabbatical semesters/years, and for home exchange. There is also a second unit on the property (sleeps 4), please see our website: www.poggiolotuscany.com

The FIENILE is a designer barn conversion on two floors. It sleeps 4/5 adults comfortably (2 Bedrooms + Study/3d Bedroom, 2 Bathrooms). A gorgeous enclosed veranda with view over the chianti hills (and the medieval tower of Galatrona) is a peaceful place to read, write or enjoy and apéritif. It was converted from a rural barn in 2006 and features a fully equipped kitchen with dining table, 2 designer bathrooms, modern appliances, in-floor heating and other amenities such as SatTV/DVD, a child gate at the top of the stairs, ADSL-WIFI, two garden areas (with tables & views), and a parking lot (also with a view). Decorated with antiques and traditional furniture. Recreational reading library, maps & guidebooks, games. As the home measures ca. 130 sq.mt/ 1400 sq.ft (plus an over 200 sq.mt. garden) there is plenty of room to spread out. If you have more visitors than the Fienile can accommodate, it is possible to rent the other apartment on the property at a reduced rate, convenient for groups of friends and family reunions!
