Residential complex "QUERCIA AL POGGIO"

QUERCIA AL POGGIO - Nine apartments situated in two separate farmhouses on an active wine estate in the center of the Chianti Classico wine district. Four apartments are in the main estate farmhouse which is also occupied by the owner and his family. This central farmhouse nucleus is composed of several buildings that were connected in the course of the centuries, developing around an internal courtyard. This group of apartments is referred to as La Cappella.

The second group of apartments is called Proneta and it is reached by an internal estate road. It is located about 400 meters from the main farmhouse and it is an independent farmhouse that has been divided into four apartments.

The estate is situated in a dominating position overlooking vineyards, woodlands and the typical Tuscan panorama dotted with farmhouses and small hamlets in the distance. Poggibonsi with all shops and facilities is at 8 kms. San Donato in Poggio, also with all facilities is at 7 kms, while Castellina in Chianti, San Gimignano, Siena and Firenze are all within easy reach. The Firenze-Siena superstrada passes by both San Donato and Poggibonsi, providing guests with an easy access to the historical cities of the area. At 1.5 kms is the Castello della Paneretta.

The estate offers ample opportunities for hiking, together with two swimmingpools, tennis court and Italian "Calcetto" soccer field. The larger 12 X 22 meter swimmingpool and tennis court are near La Cappella. The pool at La Cappella is reserved for guests at La Cappella (including the new restored barn Quercia 2), while the tennis court is open to guests of both La Cappella and Proneta. Across from the pool is a barn with tables and chairs that can seat up to 25 people for meals. This is useful if you have a large group and would like to have your meals together. It is catered to by the estate chef..

There is a second 7 X 14 meter swimmingpool at Proneta that is reserved for use by the Proneta guests. In front of Proneta is a large furnished patio for guest use, and about 50 meters from the house, near the pool, is a large solarium terrace that is also furnished and overlooks the countryside. The Proneta apartments are accessed through glass doors and, while Proneta 1 and 4 are at ground floor, Proneta 2 and 3 are on the first floor.

All estate apartments have central heating that is payable on consumption together with firewood. They are all very comfortably furnished with abundant use of Tuscan wood furniture and have modern and efficient kitchens and bathrooms. Ample garden furniture is provided and parking for both farmhouses is near each of them on the property grounds.

Maid service and chef can be provided on request. In and around the reception and office is a free WIFI connection. Please note that you need to bring your own laptop or WIFI device.
