Benvenuti a Villa Poggio alle Corti
Poggio alle Corti is an exclusive private villa nestled among Chianti’s iconic landscape of vineyards, olive groves, dark cypress forests, and medieval hilltop towns. Enjoyed by families, honeymooners, and A-list Hollywood celebrities, Poggio alle Corti offers the ideal balance of luxury, tranquility, and adventure.
Live the true Tuscan experience as you sip delicious Chianti Classico (DOCG) and extra virgin olive oil from the estate’s vineyards and olive groves, enjoy a homecooked Italian dinner al fresco on a sunset-view terrace, or walk along the cypress-lined paths and vineyards to the local favorite restaurant and wine shop.
Built in the 1100s as a fortress and noble-family residence, many of the villa’s beautiful original walls, chestnut beams, and large fireplaces remain. Poggio alle Corti has been elegantly restored and equipped with luxurious amenities to ensure a comfortable and refined guest experience. The villa’s in-house staff will also cater to your daily needs.
The perfect headquarters to explore Tuscany and the rest of Italy, the villa is surrounded by charming medieval towns with ancient relics from Etruscan, Roman, and Renaissance periods. It is also only 40min to Florence (birthplace of the Renaissance and home to Michelangelo’s David) and San Gimignano (UNESCO heritage site, “City of Fine Towers”); less than 90min from Siena, The Tower of Pisa, Val D’Orcia, and Volterra; and just a day trip to Cinque Terre, Rome, and Venice.
And yet, with a tennis court, stone-lined pool, billiards room, and onsite staff and gourmet chef, you may never want to leave. The villa is also directly accessible to world class cycling and mountain biking routes, as well as a network of breathtaking hiking trails (including the iconic ancient Romea Sanese).
Come and enjoy la dolce vita in style and comfort.
*Note: The kitchen and five bathrooms are being fully renovated for the 2025 season (not pictured). Guests will enjoy luxurious marble bathrooms, an updated chef’s kitchen, and new custom cabinetry.

Guest Reviews
John
“This villa was amazing! Our party of 4 couples thoroughly enjoyed the entire stay. Spacious, comfortable, authentic Tuscany style and beautiful vistas from every location. The caretakers, Raphael and Marinella made everything comfortable and helped with everything from directions to recommendations! Marinella is a fabulous chef (better than any restaurant we tried!) and having dinner cooked for you at night is the ultimate in luxury! 5/5”

Hoping we’ll be able to go back one day!”

“I would highly recommend staying at this private villa nestled in the beautiful countryside of Tuscany, Italy. You feel like you have been taken back in time with this well preserved historical villa but with all the modern comforts you need. The rooms are elegant, clean and comfortable and the staff are welcoming , courteous, and helpful. The food is outstanding, homemade and delicious… You must see the set sun off the balcony looking over the olive grove and gardens.”
