Choose from our range of holiday homes and apartments to rent in Tuscany and use your chosen holiday accommodation as the perfect base for exploring the region of Tuscany. The road between Florence and Siena once had an important strategic and economic importance in the valley of the rivers Elsa and Staggia.

Discover historic castles

In the early Middle Ages, the town had one of the most powerful castles in the region, which was later destroyed by Florence. During your stay in one of our holiday lettings in Italy, discover the castle of Rocca di Poggio Imperale above the city, which Lorenzo il Magnifico built in 1478 and which remains unfinished to this day. A special experience that both young and old can enjoy is the Fortezza Medicea di Poggio Imperiale, a popular attraction in the area.

In the footsteps of the Knights Templar

The Castello della Magione originally belonged to the Knights Templar and was in 1979 the newly founded Order of Catholic laity, the Order of the poor knights "Militia Templi" transferred, where it still serves as the headquarters. The Castello della Magione offers accommodation to pilgrims on the way of the Franks during their pilgrimage to Rome. The chapel "San Giovanni in Jerusalem" is worth a visit, in the partially preserved Romanesque castle. A unique opportunity for you too. Get up a little earlier in your holiday home in Tuscany and visit the fair in the venerable chapel.

Stroll and stroll through the streets

After the Second World War, Poggibonsi developed into a major trading center for wine, glasses and furniture, the latter being produced in Poggibonsi. Make an excursion to the weekly markets from your apartment or holiday home in Tuscany or stroll through the many small boutiques.
