This exclusive golfing resort is situated in typically beautiful Tuscan hill country among olive groves and vineyards studded with cypresses, less than half an hour from the historic centre of Florence. Its focus is the 16th Century Villa de Cignano, which houses a bar and restaurant specialising in Tuscan country cuisine. The 47 elegant guest rooms are dispersed around various buildings and courtyards, none more than a short stroll from the main villa. Each room has a private garden or balcony and most enjoy fabulous views over the ups and downs of the resort's inspiring championship golf course, with the Appennine mountains beyond. Recognised as one of the best tests of golf in Italy, Poggio dei Medici has hosted the Italian Ladies Open. The hotel has a swimming pool and tennis courts.
