on the Casa Colonica
The
Casa Colonica is the main villa on the Poggiolo complex.
The Casa Colonica garden area (ca.200 square meters) is
complete with umbrella, benches, table and chairs. There
is a marvellous view onto the Arno Valley and Appennine
mountains. Sit with your feet up and read a book in the
morning sun, or sip a glass of wine as the evening light
turns the hills into a Leonardesque landscape...

The garden area behind the Casa Colonica
features a bench from which to admire the view.
