Italian Country Estates - Poggio a Sieve, Vicchio, Tuscany

Traditional Tuscany's Country Estate pages allow you to view any of our Italian properties that have two or more self catering apartments on site as a whole. This way you can see under the 'accommodation' heading how many apartments are on a particular estate and how many people those apartments will sleep. The self catering apartments listed under the 'accommodation' heading all have clickable links to take you directly to an individual description of that accommodation along with its current availability.

These pages are especially useful for family groups who are perhaps looking for one or two apartments on a larger estate, for couples who are looking for smaller estates with only two or three properties maximum or for larger parties who are perhaps planning a reunion or wedding. 

If you are specifically looking for an villa or apartment in Tuscany, Umbria, Le Marche and Lazio and want to search by date availability or number of bedrooms etc, you can use the drop down menu in the Property Finder and select 'villas and apartments' for self catering apartments with a shared swimming pool or 'private villas' for a selection of independent villas with private pools.

Estate Overview

Just over the hills from Florence, among rolling countryside and tall cypress trees, standing against the backdrop of the mountain passes and crests, we find the Mugello territory. Still waters, pleasant countryside, hard-working amiable people, wholesome food, the lands of the Medici and numerous historical estates are within your reach.

Poggio a Sieve is situated in this 'green heart' of Tuscany. Originally a 15th century signal tower, with additions from the 16th century onwards, it is surrounded by a garden with a huge romanesque swimming pool and ample parking.

In the Mugello, guests can explore the native towns of the Medici, Giotto and Beato Angelico, all of whom played a part in the Italian Renaissance. A short walk away is the small town of Vicchio with shops, restaurants and a good sports centre. Borgo San Lorenzo is within a five minute drive or bus ride and from there you can catch the train into Florence or Bologna, both exciting and vibrant cities to visit.

Tennis and horse riding are available within 5km and, for the golfers, within 16km in the area of Scarperia, is the fine “Poggio dei Medici” Golf Course. At a similar distance Lake Bilancino also has attractions for the sporting guest, especially sailing.

Poggio a Sieve is a place where you can really have a relaxing holiday but it also makes a wonderful base for discovering traces of Italian history and art. The accommodations here provide excellent value with many of our guests returning time and time again to this estate. The apartments are comfortable and well furnished with period items that blend with the rustic Tuscan style and good kitchen facilities with full ovens for a fully self catering experience. All have central heating and are available for holiday rental throughout the year.
