Poggio ai Gelsi is located in the south of Tuscany between the hills of Val d'Orcia, Siena and halfway between Montepulciano and Pienza. The property enjoys a magnificent view over Montichiello and Pienza. The colours of the nature in this corner of Tuscany are beautiful and change day after day, with different nuances. Various shades of green, yellow ocher, grey, charcoal and so much more ..... a show!
We are in Val D' Orcia near Pienza, the typical Renaissance city, a UNESCO world heritage site. Its surroundings are Montepulciano and Montalcino, two cities and lands of great wines; Bagno Vignoni, Bagni San Filippo and San Casciano dei Bagni, are places with thermal spring and of great interest. Arezzo, Siena and Perugia are close together so you can make a vacation complete with art, culture, nature, food and wine all at your fingertips.
Poggio ai Gelsi is comprised of three buildings: the main house in stone, closed at the moment, and two lodges that offer accommodation in three housing units. The buildings have been restored taking care of every detail while maintaining the traditional Tuscan features: exposed beams and terracotta floors. The furniture consists of a few pieces of antique and modern furniture.
The large outdoor area offers several quiet corners where everyone can find their favourite place to relax and enjoy the nature...a beautiful paved square garden with fruit trees, cypresses and olive trees and the beautiful infinity pool that is located on the centre of a natural terrace overlooking the valley.
