Nestled among the hills of the Montagnola Senese, southwest of Siena, stands the Poggiarello Castle, a historic residence that retains the enchanting medieval charm of its origins dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries. Its stone walls and towering battlements still rise majestically, enveloped by the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside. Here, history and nature intertwine, providing a timeless refuge away from the hustle and bustle of daily life.
The accommodations within the castle offer an authentic, essential, and immersive experience. The apartment features a double bedroom and a twin room with non-joinable beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy, welcoming living area. The well-maintained and functional bathroom is complemented by a private terrace with a patio, ideal for relaxing outdoors and enjoying the surrounding landscape. The lack of heating and air conditioning is offset by the thick ancient walls, ensuring a naturally pleasant climate, especially during the summer months. Cribs and high chairs for young children are available upon request.
Guests can take advantage of the swimming pool and playground, exclusively reserved for them, while free parking is available just outside the main gate. For an even more comfortable stay, breakfast and meals can be arranged, allowing visitors to savor the authentic flavors of the local tradition.
At Poggiarello, luxury is not defined by ostentation, but by silence, authenticity, and timeless beauty. Days pass slowly amidst the singing of birds and the scent of the countryside, while nights offer restful sleep wrapped in the freshness of freshly laundered sheets. Here, time seems to stretch, allowing for tranquility and a deep connection to the castle's millennia-old history.
Located in Sovicille, in the heart of Tuscany, Poggiarello Castle is 11 km from Siena and 2.5 km from the nearest shops. The public transport stop is also 2.5 km from the property.
The castle’s roots trace back to the 13th century when it was built as a fortification to protect the land and preserve the harvests. By 1387, a land registry document confirms the presence of vineyards. In the 16th century, the Chigi Saracini family transformed the fortress into a stately residence, enhancing it with a Renaissance chapel attributed to Baldassarre Peruzzi and new agricultural buildings. Over the following centuries, the castle maintained its agricultural and residential purpose, with an uninterrupted tradition of winemaking.
Today, Poggiarello Castle is registered with the ADSI and FAI, safeguarding a carefully preserved historical heritage. Staying here means immersing oneself in a timeless atmosphere, amid the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and the allure of a place that tells centuries of history.
