View all offersThe magical cypress tree-lined, rolling green hills of Tuscany are renowned the world over. Whilst the region's incredible landscape is enticing enough on its own, add in the delicious Tuscan cuisine, famous Chianti wine, and the rich art and culture of cities such as Florence and Siena, and you have a dream holiday. To make a visit even more special, we've got just the place to stay, the enchanting four-star Borgo Il Poggiaccio Residenza d'Epoca, a charming and evocative hotel set in an ancient 14th-century estate.
Nestled in peaceful countryside, not far from the attractive city of Siena - famous for its spectacular gothic cathedral - the Borgo Il Poggiaccio Residenza d'Epoca offers the perfect Tuscan escape. Located downstream of the Sienese mountains, it's surrounded by sweeping expanses of wheat and sunflower fields and skirted by ancient oaks, cypress and olive trees.
Dating back to 1330, Borgo il Poggiaccio was fully restored in 1990, with careful attention given to its original structure and characteristics. Your tastefully furnished apartment has been superbly maintained and comes with a fully equipped kitchen, and you can expect a comfortable stay with a warm and homely feel.
Start your day with an abundant breakfast, with a selection of sweet and savoury delights. Relax on the sunny patio, set around a beautiful large outdoor swimming pool amongst lush gardens, or play a game of tennis, basketball or five-aside football. Take advantage of the free mountain bike hire, offering an excellent way to explore the area.
The inviting on-site restaurant, La Cantina del Poggiaccio, is housed in a cavernous, vaulted stone space with a rich terracotta floor and boasts a sizeable pretty terrace overlooking the pool - a sublime spot to try the tasty lunch and dinner menus based on delicious traditional Tuscan cuisine and Mediterranean inspired dishes. The food comes with a wide selection of local and regional wines, including some from the estate. You'll also be treated to some live local music on select evenings.
There is plenty to explore further afield, too. Take a day trip to Florence, which is less than an hour away, to top up on Renaissance art or soak in the hot thermal waters at Rapolano before returning to the quiet of the estate to sip wine from the wine bar and toast to a glorious holiday.
