Immersed in the evocative Tuscan countryside, in an area characterized by gentle hills and picturesque landscapes, the Antico Podere Il Bugnolo represents a perfect fusion of history, tradition, and genuine hospitality. Built in 1892 by the Podestà of Poggibonsi, this magnificent building was conceived as a granary, a wine cellar, and a maturation place for grapes destined for the prestigious Vinsanto. The structure, made with exquisite local materials, features unique architectural characteristics, with oak beams, vaulted ceilings, and a roof of handcrafted terracotta tiles that tell of a wise use of the resources offered by the surrounding land.
Managed by Simone and his family, the Podere is the result of a proud return to country life, which took place in 1970 when they decided to rehabilitate this historic property. A journey that led, in 2001, to the careful restoration of the ancient cellars, now transformed into cozy rooms and apartments, where guests can breathe in the authentic atmosphere of Tuscan rural life. Every environment is curated in the smallest details, testifying to the love for tradition and the dedication of its owners in providing warm and authentic hospitality.
The strategic location of the Podere allows easy access to the main tourist destinations of Tuscany. Just a few minutes away, the towers of San Gimignano can be admired, while art cities such as Siena and Florence are easily accessible. Additionally, the family offers a variety of experiences, including wine tastings, cooking classes, and bicycle tours, allowing guests to fully explore the gastronomic and cultural riches of the region.
At Antico Podere Il Bugnolo, every stay is an enriching experience, where history intertwines with daily life, and hospitality becomes a true lifestyle. The meeting of tradition and modernity, along with the genuine passion of its managers, makes this residence the ideal place for an unforgettable stop in the heart of Tuscany.
