Poggio Cennina     

(Bucine)

Poggio Cennina is a magical place. Situated on the heights overlooking the Val d’Ambra, it enjoys a unique panoramic view of the southern Chianti region.

Poggio Cennina Farm was created on organic principles: it is a place where nature take precedence over everything else. Ninety hectares of vines, olives and fruit-trees: plants which are cultivated in a healthy way, with respect for their natural rhythms.

This is what sets Poggio Cennina apart; it originated from the friendship of two persons and their unbounded love of nature.

Not only can one enjoy the farm’s produce, tasting a superlative Tuscan olive oil and a great red wine, but one can also walk through the fields and woods, relax by the side of the lake, play tennis, swim in the pool, go horse-riding and play football on a real pitch.



We recommend this hotel for: A romantic getaway, Girlfriend getaway, People with disabilities, Older travelers, Families with young children, Families with teenagers, Tourists
