Poggio al Vento

Poggio a Vento is a unique holiday villa set atop one of the highest hills in the Chianti region, offering an atmospheric retreat steeped in history and panoramic Tuscan views. Originally the casa da signore — the lord’s house of a medieval castle documented as early as 1179 and once owned by the monks of the nearby Abbey of Badia a Passignano — the property has been carefully restored to preserve its architectural heritage.

The villa’s medieval structure has been brought back to life with respect for its original details, including thick stone walls, arched windows and traditional terracotta features. Interiors blend historic charm with comfortable living spaces: bedrooms furnished with period‑style pieces, en‑suite bathrooms with locally produced glazed terracotta tiles, and a fully equipped kitchen centred around an ancient fireplace.

Poggio a Vento accommodates up to 10 guests across multiple bedrooms and offers generous living areas and a cosy sitting room for relaxation. Outdoors, the walled garden opens onto sweeping views of the Chianti hills, with a private pool, shaded terrace and outdoor dining space where guests can enjoy meals under the stars or simply take in the serene surroundings.

Set in a tranquil, elevated position just a few kilometres from Badia a Passignano, Poggio a Vento combines historic character with modern comfort, making it an exceptional choice for those seeking an authentic and memorable Tuscan escape.
