Although Villa Poggio Bello is located on a hill in a calm and sunny setting, it is only 5 minutes from the centre of Florence and is therefore the ideal place for those who wish to visit the city but relax at the same time.

You can visit the hidden Florence!
The Paoletti family, Florentines for 6 generations, will be able to advise you where to visit, where to eat and what to see according to your interests, so that your stay in Florence is a memorable one.

For centuries, ever since the river Arno has been navigable, a group of Florentines have lived on the river, working hard and patiently to provide sand, which was also used to construct famous buildings.
Their hard work was rewarded by the privilege of admiring Florence from a unique view. Today, the renaioli offer you the chance to relive the same magical sensations.

This activity was introduced to satisfy the tourism demand that is linked to typical traditions, history, wine and food products of the Tuscan Maremma.
Whether you find yourselves comfortably seated in a horse-drawn carriage in the Natural Park of Maremma, or leaning on a fence admiring the Butteri cowboys at work on horseback with the wild cattle, you will always be the protagonists in an unforgettable show.
The unspoilt environment, the tradition, and the authenticity of the food and drink make the ideal setting for those who want to spend a holiday characterised by ecotourism, culture, and fun. Located 160 km from Florence, in the Province of Grosseto.

(Seasonal activity – minimum 8 people)

We can offer you the chance to taste wine in various Chianti wineries. In particular, you could visit the winery "San Martino a Cecione" owned by Renzo Marinai, nestled in the green Chianti hills, where you can taste Chianti Classico and other Tuscan wines, as well as Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and many other surprises, all of which are organic.

We can organise visits to various collections of vintage vehicles for those who are interested; we recommend the collection of tradesmen's bicycles for its historical and cultural interest.
