Bed and Breakfast Description

The country house Poggio Sant’Angelo, located nearby the Abbey of Farneta, one of Tuscany’s most charming abbeys, offers its guests a unique chance to experience the atmosphere and the enchantment of an ancient Leopoldine age country home dipped in the green Tuscan country side only miles away from Cortona, a town extremely rich in art and history, and the major lines of communication allowing to easily reach the main cultural and tourist centers of Central Italy (Siena, Montepulciano, Florence, Perugia, Assisi and Rome).

The building is laid out over two floors: the ground floor housing the reception area and the restaurant and the first floor featuring five bedrooms, two suites, two double bedrooms and a large reading room with open fireplace and comfortable sofas. An annex, located just outside the villa houses a wine-bar; a large pool enjoying a wonderfully sunny position, is located in the adjoining park surrounded by century-old trees.

The villa is dipped in a wonderful park luxuriant with Mediterranean plants and typical trees of the Tuscan country-side. Beyond the entrance, the driveway taking to the large parking area flanked by a wonderful rose-garden is lined with a wealth of pine-trees, cypresses and oak-trees. The originally sail-shaped swimming-pool, lying on a small hill accessed through a narrow path, also leads to a lovely well, stands at the center of a lawn area surrounded by Mediterranean scrub adding a more intimate and natural atmosphere.
