Villa Poggiano nestles amid 6 hectares of parkland,
on a crest above the gentle hills of Val d’Orcia, just 2 kilometres from
Montepulciano. Villa Poggiano is the ideal place for those in search of
an exclusive location, peaceful and discreet.
The Villa and the adjacent buildings were built as a summer residence
in the 18th century by the aristocratic Poliziana Gagnoni family. The main
body of the Villa was successively restructured, before becoming the building
as we know it today.
The most recent of the rebuilding work was carried out in the mid 1900s.
The magnificent outdoor facilities such as the swimming pool, the statues
and fountains, as well as some interior embellishments, were added in about
1940. The neo-classical style popular at the time is particularly apparent
in the statues decorating the swimming pool, which were clearly inspired
by the statues of the Stadio dei Marmi in Rome, designed by the architect
Enrico del Debbio between 1927 and 1932. Subsequently the Villa changed
hands several times before finally being acquired by the Savini family
in 2000, who, after long and meticulous reconstruction work restored the
Villa to its former splendour.

and elegantly furnished with antique furniture, paintings and fittings.
The spacious marble bathrooms are fitted with showers or bathtubs. The

The rooms and suites all have large windows. Those situated in the Villa

while those in the lodges, located in the grounds of the Villa, enjoy a

of Val D’Orcia.
