The Tuscan farm cottages
It could only be called Poderi Arcangelo, this small old village right in the Chianti area, in one of the most suggestive parts of Tuscany.
You get to it by driving up along a small road with cypressus which brings you right to the top of the hill where you can find a fantastic view over San Gimignano and Certaldo.When you arrive here, on the ancient paths of the famous Via Francigena where pilgrims walking to Rome found hospitality , the first thing to do is to stop and observe...breathe...in whatever season , you will be impressed by the pleasantness of perfumes and the peace of this place.
In the evening, then, if you wish, you can have dinner in a romantic, panoramic terrace and taste the typical Tuscan food with wines and products from our organic farm, all home-made by Signora Maria.

Free time and activities
Poderi Arcangelo is a real Agriturismo and this is why a holiday here involves all senses and excites in every occasion. Free time becomes a way to follow the different activities of country life and its seasons, like the harvest and the picking of the olives, or you can take part in brief courses on cooking and learn how to prepare Tuscan food, follow guided wine-tasting and visit the cellars, or go walking or biking on paths through vineyards, olive trees and little woods up to the small town of San Gimignano.
Instead, lazy people can simply have a swim in the pool or stay in the shade and read a book, while those who like to take care of their bodies,can book a massage or go to the nearby Terme of Gambassi
( km 7) and have some personalized treatment.
In other words, all the best of a healthy, enjoyable, relaxing holiday.

The Houses of the Poderi Arcangelo are a good point of departure to visit the whole region and come in direct contact with the countryside without forgetting art, cultural events, music, movies, shopping.
San Gimignano
The famous city of 72 medieval Towers has Etruscan origins, but it had its most important splendour during the Medioeval age thanks to the Via Francigena which went through it. This ancient road was travelled along by thousands of pilgrims going to Rome and through the years became an important road for commercial exchanges. Dante Alighieri himself lived in San Gimignano as ambassador of the Guelf league of Tuscany . Nowdays this small town is one of the treasures of this region, with its paved streets, the old cooking tradition ,the taste of its famous wine Vernaccia and its popular traditions.
Certaldo
Its name comes from latin cerrus ( or from germanic cerrus aldo) which indicates a little hill covered by cerri that means high trees.Certaldo was an important Vicariato , like the coat of arms of Palazzo Pretorio testify.
Here Giovanni Boccaccio was born in XIII century and today you can still visit his home. A funicular takes you up to the old romantic part of this typical medioeval village , unfortunately not very well known , but full of history and atmosphere. At only 3 Km from Poderi Arcangelo.
Volterra
Circled by its walls which date from 200 A.C.,Volterra is built round the ancient church of Santa Maria and Priori Square, near the extraordinary towers. The fame of this city is due to the important archeological places like the Roman Theatre, the Acropolis, the Necropolis, the Terme, tangible signs of its ancient etruscan origins.
