Finding the right balance
Even after over 15 years of welcoming folks to our little slice of Italy, we continue to find ways to cultivate the calm and connection that most of our guests come looking for. Upon returning to Tuscany in 1998 after many years living abroad, my parents Gianni and Lilia set out to create an experience tied to their own pleasure of re-discovering this land, and nearby towns and cities. Inspired by their courage and their vision, Giovanna and I (Alex) have since raised the bar considerably.
Poggiosole is that rare combination of a 5-star experience and a personal touch. We welcome only around 100 guests per year (and we intend to keep it that way). We are closed for 20 days in August because we know our land and climate: until the rains resume in late summer Tuscany is just too dry and too hot. But when we are open we provide a degree of refinement that you will be hard-pressed to find anywhere else, along with an award-winning EVOO made in small batches from our 600 olive trees.
