Luxurious farmhouse with two high design lodgings. Epic spot, 30 min to Florence | Other in Barberino Tavarnelle

We are called Poggiosole: a farm and vacation rental on 7 hectares (about 17 acres) of olive groves and meadows located 30 km (19 miles) from Florence. We have two early-19th century stone and timber buildings on our property: a main house for family and staff and, across a wide flagstone-paved courtyard, a large two-story farmhouse (a.k.a. fienile or hayloft). This vacation rental is comprised of two luxurious side-by-side lodgings with private swimming pool. On Vrbo (and only on Vrbo) we offer these lodgings together as a single farmhouse residence which comfortably sleeps up to 10 adults and up to three children aged 4 and under (we provide wooden cribs). The farmhouse offers two living areas, two outdoor patios with parasols and two nuttily well-equipped kitchens.
With 200 square meters (2150 sq ft) of air-conditioned indoor living space the farmhouse contains five bedrooms, three of which connect to an en-suite full bath (there are a further two-and-a-half bathrooms besides). The kitchens are equipped with Alessi cookware, Wüsthof chef's knives, Vitamix blender, Bosch mixer and citrus juicer, Dualit toaster and Lavazza espresso machine, Bodum Chambord coffee presses, Pulltex corkscrews, Rösle stainless prep bowls, non-stick baking tins... even a digital scale. Each kitchen also includes a full-size fridge, dishwasher, gas cooktop, oven and a Lavazza espresso machine with separate milk foamer. The living areas with fireplaces feature furniture and accessories by Cassina, Fritz Hansen, Vitra and Kartell and lighting by kreon, Artemide, Tecnolumen and Flos. In our bathrooms you'll find Duravit fixtures and Dyson hairdryers. The two patios are linked by a floor-lit terracotta sidewalk and are furnished for outdoor lounging and dining, including Weber BBQ grills.
The larger of the two lodgings offers a long dining table that will seat 8 adults comfortably, and 10 in a pinch (for when everyone wants to dine or breakfast together). We have free Wi-Fi (70 mbps) and a couple of audiophile-grade sound systems (plus a pair of B&O wireless speakers). There's no additional charge for A/C, heating, weekly towel changes or use of laundry facilities (the farmhouse is equipped with two Miele clothes washers and a Miele dryer). Each lodging also has a chess set, Go set, playing cards, Jenga blocks and, yes, also a streaming-capable HDTV.
About 30 meters (100 feet) from the farmhouse is a crystalline salt-chlorinated swimming pool outfitted with five teak loungers, two teak and canvas deck chairs and two large canvas parasols. The pool is for the exclusive use of farmhouse guests.
All our outdoor spaces equipped for lounging or dining (pool, courtyard, and patios) are misted by a state-of-the-art nebulizing system which dispenses insect repellents throughout the afternoon and evening and, at 6:30 AM every day, a powerful insecticide to keep mosquitos and wasps away.
Our land gradually slopes into a verdant valley of which our larger lodging in particular has a commanding view. All guests are welcome to walk through and picnic in any part of the property, and informal walking tours are available free of charge. For runners, a 5 or 8 km (mostly dirt road) circuit starts just outside your door. There are ten varied and excellent restaurants within a 15-minute drive, the nearest a short walk away (Led Lenser flashlights are provided for getting there and back after dark). The local general store in the hamlet of Romita is a short walk across our upper grove, then 40 meters along a country road.
The nearest town is called Tavarnelle Val di Pesa and can be reached by car in 8 minutes. In Tavarnelle you'll find a supermarket, several grocers, one exceptional butcher, a very good gelato place, a pharmacy, a couple of hair salons and a old-school movie theater run by a guy with excellent taste (unfortunately even the English-language ones are dubbed).
The broader context is the Chianti fiorentino, the portion of the historic Tuscan wine-growing region that's closer to the Florence-Siena axis. By car, Poggiosole is within 30 minutes of Certaldo Alto, San Gimignano, Monteriggioni, Greve, Montefioralle, and Castellina in Chianti as well as Florence itself. Closer in are the towns of Barberino, Marcialla, San Casciano, Monteriggioni, Badia a Passignano, and Panzano. Siena and Volterra are less than an hour away.
We are relatively new to Vrbo but have a 9.9 rating on Booking (over 20 reviews), a 4.9 star rating on Google (18 reviews) and a score of 5 out of 5 on Tripadvisor (5 reviews). Poggiosole has been hosting guests since 2008.
