Villa Poggio Bartoli - Tuscany, Italy - Luxury Country House Hotel

Nestled amongst groves of centuries-old trees, Villa Poggio Bartoli stands on 1000 hectares of rolling hills in the Tuscan town of Vicchio di Mugello.

With a history that dates back to the 15th century, the Villa was originally used as a country home and hunting lodge for the Medici family, and features many historical touches including the stone-sculpted coat of arms from the noble Spinelli family, and an olive oil mill in the cellar. Renovated in 2012, Villa Poggio Bartoli offers the familiar comforts of a rustic Italian villa with some distinctive amenities. Learn to craft pasta from scratch with Chef Jonathan or sample wines from local vineyards. If adventure is more your desire, discover the ancient Renaissance art of falconry as you interact with the villas' eagles, hawks and owls; or if your palate pleases, hunt for truffles, a delicacy that Chef Jonathan can prepare with your dinner. Whether renting the entire villa for a family vacation, breaking bread with other guests during a couples retreat, or utilizing the original chapel on property for a one-of-a-kind wedding, Villa Poggio Bartoli provides a completely personalized experience to each of its guests. Located just 30 minutes outside historic Florence, the villa provides a countryside getaway close to the city.
