Poggio al Sole lies in the midst of the magnificent scenario of the 
Florentine hillsides, and leans over the gentle slopes of the Mugnone 
valley. It rests on a 450 m hill, 6 kilometers from Fiesole in a 
neighbourhood called Torre di Buiano, only 8 kilometres from Florence. This 
viewpoint surrounded by olive groves, cypress trees and fruit trees is 
named after the sunny position it offers from sunrise to sunset, in summer 
and winter as well.
Poggio al Sole is a small family-run farm and rural B&B, a special place from 
which you can reach Florence, Fiesole, and the other artistic towns in 
Tuscany. Guests are welcome in a warm and friendly way, and tranquillity 
and great care are guaranteed. The typical produces and the Tuscan 
cooking cheer our dinner tables every night.On request, wine tours to 
farms producing Chianti Rufina and Chianti Colli Fiorentini along the "Wine 
Roads" can be organized: they include the visit of the cellars, wine and 
typical produce tasting. 
THE FARMHOUSE AND THE BARN 
We decided to keep the rustic look of the farmhouse and the barn that 
have luckily kept their original style until now.
The barn with its stone facade offers three large double rooms named 
after Gorse, Iris, and Jasmine, (Ginestra, Iris and Gelsomino), all with 
private bathrooms and restored in the original Tuscan style, with wooden 
beams, terracotta floors, solid wood for doors, windows and the furniture. 
The ancient porch, with is likely to have been the place where tools were 
stored, is now the entrance to the rooms and the common hall. The porch 
is like a balcony opening on the valley and the fields of olive groves and 
fruit trees. 
On the front of the barn a century-old oak shades the threshing floor, and
other trees offer a cool relaxing area.
The first floor of the farmhouse offers two large rooms, one of which is a 
triple room, all with private bathroom, called Sunrise and Sunset, opening 
on the valley and on the city of Florence. On the ground floor of the house 
the large chimney place decorates the breakfast room.
