Villa Il Poggio

Nestled amongst the rolling hills that characterise the iconic landscape of the Val di Chiana, this authentic 19th-century farmhouse embodies the quintessence of the Tuscan way of life. Expertly renovated in 2021 with a skill that blends historical charm with the precision of contemporary design, the property offers a rare balance between absolute privacy, state-of-the-art technological comforts and panoramic views stretching as far as the eye can see across the valley.

The private grounds and outdoor living

Perched on an exclusive, sun-kissed hillock, the estate extends over private grounds of approximately 3,490 m², a microcosm where every detail has been carefully tended: flowerbeds, quiet corners and an organic family vegetable garden invite you to rediscover the slow, authentic rhythm of the Tuscan countryside. At the heart of the garden, a splendid 14x6-metre private swimming pool opens out onto a spacious sun terrace, the ideal setting for afternoons of pure relaxation or for entertaining guests on summer evenings. A fully equipped professional barbecue area completes the property’s convivial experience, ready to host gala dinners al fresco and private receptions under a starry sky.

The interiors: period charm and contemporary standards

The farmhouse offers 199 m² of usable floor space (approximately 164 m² of floor area), spread over two levels designed to combine functionality with warmth. On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto a large, light-filled space combining the living room and open-plan kitchen, the true heart of the home; the level is completed by a spacious bedroom, an elegant bathroom and a multi-purpose area that could be used as a study, private gym or multimedia room, depending on the residents’ preferences. On the upper floor, the sleeping area features two master suites designed for maximum comfort: the first opens onto a charming private veranda, the second onto a terrace with a view stretching across the surrounding hills; a second elegant bathroom serves the entire floor.

High-quality materials, bespoke wardrobes and original 19th-century details coexist with a contemporary focus on accessibility: the property is, in fact, fully adapted for people with reduced mobility. The recent refurbishment has also brought its energy efficiency rating up to Class B — a rare achievement for a historic farmhouse — ensuring thermal insulation and optimised energy consumption without compromising on its original charm.

A prime location for the international jet set

Just a stone’s throw from the legendary Cortona, an Etruscan cradle suspended in time, the property enjoys an enviable location and excellent links to Florence, Siena, Perugia and the Val d’Orcia. Here, the rejuvenating seclusion of the Tuscan countryside is complemented by proximity to historic villages, world-renowned wineries and the region’s most celebrated food and wine tours and golf courses.

An investment in the heart of Tuscany

Whether chosen as a prestigious main residence, a holiday retreat or a highly profitable investment in the luxury rental market, this farmhouse represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an authentic piece of Tuscan history.
