We live in a classic Tuscan landscape noted for the nearby presence of Lake Chiusi and the remains of the ancient Etruscan civilization. Come and join us here on our farms, near the lake. This small area, designated as a protected environment zone, is located a short distance from main roads and urban areas. We are perfectly located for day trips. This 50 kilometre (30 mile) radius encompasses one of the most beautiful parts of Tuscany. Enjoy the wonderful landscapes and the beauty of the provinces of Siena, Arezzo and Perugia. In addition, you can enjoy excursions on foot, on horseback or by bicycle. Starting at the farms, you can take numerous rural and farm roads for several kilometres immersed in silence. Take a boat and enter the world of the lake, exploring its rich variety of plants, fish and birds.

The historical centres of Rome and Florence can be reached easily in an hour by train. Just leave your car at Chiusi train station (6 km, 3.6 miles).

Olive Oil Tasting

Every Monday at 5pm during the summer, we will hold an introductory class for all our guests on the history, production and tasting techniques of extra virgin olive oil at Poggi al Lago. The class will end with a tasting of different olive oils in order to "objectively" demonstrate that our olive oil is THE BEST IN THE WORLD!

Cyclotourism

The 62 km (38.5 mile) cycling and walking trail of the Canale Maestro della Chiana connects Arezzo and Chiusi has a path which is well-prepared and protected for those who travel slowly - by bike or on foot. The old trail - still used for the maintenance of the canal and its locks - is in fact a naturally flat path and therefore particularly suitable for sports tourism for the whole family. More information is available on the Sentiero della Bonifica "Vittorio Fossombroni" official web site . We have mountain bikes available for our guests to use.
