Podere Il Poggetto, the name means the hilltop farmhouse, so called because its 35 acres occupy an elevated position in the Fucecchio marshes. Its origins stretch back into history. A decorated altar found during restoration work and the numerous frescoes on religious themes found on the walls bear witness to its existence as early as the 6th Century, as the home of a number of religious orders, perhaps as an inn or resting place for travellers. Burned to the ground following an outbreak of the plague, an illness common in the area owing to the marshland below, it was subsequently rebuilt from the few remaining ruins. In 1873, it was acquired by a large local estate for its red wine and highly valued olive oil production. It was bought by the current owners in 1970 and still today produces red and white PGI1 Tuscan wine and PDO2 olive oil from the Florence hills. It became part of the Italian Farmhouse Accommodation network in 1994 and is on the list of regional educational establishments, catering for children aged 6 to 14.

Selena and her family’s home was the best choice we could possibly make for exploring Tuscany. The place is authentic, beautiful, very calm, perfectly located. The apartment has all that one can need for a short or long stay. The hosts are really nice and very discreet people, very kind and helpful. The whole place has a real Tuscany feel! Thank you, Selena! ❤️

Very friendly and polite host, even though we happened to arrive several hours later than scheduled (Sorry again, Noemi!). Well-furnished building surrounded only by fields. A very nice and quiet place. Excellent breakfast, much better than the ones usually served in Italy. Be sure to try the tomatoes from own cultivation! There are two bathrooms for three rooms, sharing them was no problem at all. Parking right in front of the door.\n\nRecommendation!

This was our second visit to Il Poggetto. Located in beautiful countryside, the accommodation is on the ground floor of a country house set in secluded gardens. The newly-furnished apartments are tastefully decorated with modern facilities. The owners were very welcoming and could not do enough to make sure we enjoyed our stay there. We would definitely recommend Il Poggetto to anyone looking for a relaxing country location.

The apartment was comfortable and well furnished. It is reached by a poorly indicated dirt road. In this period of intense heat, the lack of air conditioning was heavy.

Beautiful weekend. We were a group of 17 people, Mrs. Selene gave us 3 adjacent apartments, all three very beautiful and clean. Although the structure is a bit isolated, its location allowed us to reach the city of Lucca in a short time and we saw that other points of interest were also easily reachable. Definitely a structure I recommend and if there will be the opportunity, I will return to stay there.
