It could only be called Poderi Arcangelo
this small old village on the top of a hill. Its 4 Tuscan
farm cottages are the ideal place where you can rediscover
the most real and healthiest pleasures of life.
When
you arrive here, on the ancient paths of the famous
Via Francigena, the first thing to do is to stop and
look at the view… breath… come back to your
own rhythms. Cottages of Poderi Arcangelo, each one
independent with its own swimming pool but within 500
meters of each other, allow you to have the kind of
holiday you like most: from the elegant and comfortable
room in Capezzano house, to that of a more country style
and full of atmosphere in the ex monastery of Arcangelo
house, from the independent apartment of San Raffaello
house to the little bio-house where you can experience
the well-being of a restful sleep full of positive energy.
ACCOMMODATION: CASA CAPEZZANO: The heart
of the whole complex, this house goes back to the end
of 1600 and is in an area where traces of Etruscan life
of the second century BC have been found. Today, after
a careful reconstruction which was finished in 2004,
we have succeded in keeping the natural harmony of the
place intact, even if we have added every comfort. Here
we welcome our guests on their arrival, and here they
find too: our Restaurant which has been built in the
old stables the testing room and sales on wines, alive
oil and typical products we produce like Vinsanto, Grappa,
jams, organic fruits. Cellars, panoramic terrace
Departure for excursions on foot or on bike towards
San Gimignano.
CASA BIO: His comes from
an old reconstructed hay-loft according the bio-building
principles, using only natural and ecological materials.
The use of magnetic correctors as clean-energy and bio-switch
to neutralize the electromagnetic fields assure you
a cleaned, energized environment where you can reload
yourself and find the positive energy of nature. Furnitured
with natural Eucalypto wood beds without metallic parts
or syntethic glues, but entirely hand made with studied
joints, this little bio-house will allow you to feel
a deep and complete well-being, for your mind and body.
