Until 2003, Poggio al Sole will be under the process of becoming an organic farm. Its main produces are extra-virgin olive oil and saffron. With the fruit produced in the farm (cherries, apricots, figs, pears, plums, walnuts and sorb apples) jams and natural liquors are prepared and offered to the guests that have dinner with us. We are planting other fruit and olive trees to increase the production. In the basement, the old cellar has been transformed into a wine and food tasting room and shop. |
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. |

| Poggio al Sole is a charming location for its interesting position, far from the city, but close to the most interesting places in the region. Florence, which is just a few kilometres away, and can be reached by bus, offers a great art-and-culture-centred holiday: the other main Tuscan cities are not further than 50/60 minutes by bus or car. The Fiesole area is full of beautiful villas dating back to the Renaissance period, and now summer residences to well-off families who chose them because of the climate (much cooler than in the city) and the proximity to Florence. |
