Villa Poggiano nestles amid 6 hectares of parkland, on a crest above the gentle hills of Val d’Orcia, just 2 kilometres from Montepulciano. After long and meticulous reconstruction work, the present owners have at last restored the 18th century Villa to its original splendour. Guests to the Villa will find a refined and exclusive environment, nevertheless characterised by the sort of warm welcome that only a family-run establishment can offer. There can be no better way to start the day than with a superb breakfast. Every morning guests are treated to a display of delicious cakes, biscuits and pastries all made by our cook. We have selected a range of pecorino cheeses, Tuscan cured meats and numerous other specialities which vary according to the season. We aim to make a stay at Villa Poggiano a truly peaceful one where time passes at a gloriously gentle pace and so as to reflect this philosophy, breakfast continues to be served until 11.00am. The suites and rooms are elegantly furnished with antique furniture, paintings and fittings, while the spacious marble bathrooms are fitted with showers or bathtubs. All suites and rooms include satellite TV, strongbox, mini-bar, direct access to Internet and an external telephone line. The Villa boasts a magnificent marble swimming pool decorated with statues and fountains, built at the beginning of the1900s. Villa Poggiano is the ideal place for those in search of an exclusive location, peaceful and discreet, as well as a family welcome. Villa Poggiano is perfectly situated for day trips to the great cities of art (Siena, Florence, Perugia, Assisi and Rome), as well as for visiting the smaller nearby towns of Montepulciano, Pienza, Monticchiello, Montalcino and Cortona, places well-known the world over.
The 11 suites and 3 rooms each one different from the others, are furnished in
the same style as the Villa with antique furniture and paintings, creating an
elegant yet warm and welcoming environment.

From Montepulciano to Montalcino
This particular area of Tuscany is famous for its numerous cities of art, for the production of red wine (Brunello di Montalcino and Nobile di Montepulciano) and for the beauty of the countryside. We suggest visits to Pienza, situated just 10 kilometres from Montepulciano, to Monticchiello, to Bagno Vignoni famous for its unique urban layout, where in fact in the very centre of town is a sulphur bath. Another interesting town is San Quirico d’Orcia where it’s possibile to visit the Italian gardens. Not far away is Montalcino, famous the world over for the production of “brunello”, an excellent red wine, while just 10 kilometres further on is the splendid Monastery of Sant’Antimo where every day visitors can participate in the mass, which is celebrated with Gregorian chants. Another magnificent monastery well worth visiting is the one in Monteoliveto Maggiore.
Umbria

From Montepulciano follow directions for Cortona, a city of art well worth a visit, after which the road skirts Lago Trasimeno as far as Perugia, Umbria’s main town, famous for the production of chocolate and cashmere. In an area of just a few square kilometres it’s possible to visit the towns of Assisi, Deruta, Todi, Spello, Spoleto and Orvieto.

Arezzo
Situated 50 kilometres from Montepulciano, Arezzo, an important town of Etruscan origin, is characterised by a blend of Medieval and Renaissance styles.
