Description

The Bed & Breakfast Country House Poggio del Drago is a converted old stone farmhouse originally built at the end of the 19th century and recently restored, maintaining the rural architecture combined with modern amenities. It is situated on two levels, with the lower floor entirely dedicated to the B&B, which is located in the center of a one-hectare fenced park with ancient oak trees and an olive grove.

Various nature trails are available for you to explore along with the beautiful pool, which reflects the green of the trees and the myriad reflections of the pristine sky. To tantalize your senses, there is a garden with sensual fragrances of jasmine, climbing roses, and aromatic plants such as rosemary and lavender.

The B&B Poggio del Drago is the perfect retreat for those seeking an alternative vacation with all the comforts and privacy, surrounded by fascinating nature and millennia-old traditions. Nothing disturbs the almost absolute tranquility where silence spontaneously invites relaxation, rest, and meditation.

At the same time, the geographic location of the B&B is strategic for quickly reaching many art cities, magnificent villages, and beautiful natural excursions. You will be enchanted by the light and colors for their intense brightness, fascinated by the shadows and tones of sunrise and sunset, and in love with the wonderful contrast of flowers and fragrances of Tuscany, a true paradise of indescribable beauty with pristine nature.

What guests say

Reviews consistently highlight the excellent cleanliness, peacefulness, and beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside. Emanuele, the host, is often praised for his friendliness, helpfulness, and personal attention to guests’ needs. The rooms are modern, comfortable, and well-maintained; the garden and swimming pool are popular features that add to the relaxing atmosphere. Breakfast is plentiful and sometimes shared at a communal table, creating a friendly environment—though some guests suggest adding lighter or healthier options. The property offers good value and is conveniently located for visiting Arezzo and the surrounding area. Suitable for both short and longer stays.

Cleanliness, quietness, serenity. We could not have found a better accommodation. Emanuele is a person of unique simplicity and courtesy.

Everything was perfect, too bad we only stayed one night. If we have the chance, we will gladly return.

simona

Excellent structure, location, and cleanliness. Emanuele, the manager, is friendly and always available. The breakfast is good and abundant; if I can give a suggestion, I would also introduce some "lighter" products for those who need to control their diet (e.g. natural yogurt, whole grain bread, fruits and nuts, fruit preserves without added sugars...). We will definitely return.

Recommended B&b. Stayed for a weekend to visit, due to its proximity, the Christmas markets in Arezzo. More than excellent choice. We were welcomed by the owner Emanuele with great cordiality and full of information. The farmhouse, located among the greenery of the Tuscan hills, is very panoramic, the room is clean and the breakfast is abundant. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay with Emanuele at Poggio del Drago. The view was amazing and the rooms were tidy. The breakfast was abundant but lacking some variation (for example Some days some fruit or yogurt for variation would make it 10/10). Excellent amenities (parking space, wifi, pool,...).

Very nice spot in Tuscany, near Arezzo and Florence. Beautiful landscape, lovely B&B with tastefully furnished rooms and perfect swimming pools. Highly recommended, we will come again.

Arrived passing through the Arezzo area with my 2 children. Found thanks to the excellent reviews of other travelers. The place is stunning, the recently renovated house is lovely, the garden around it is very well-kept. The interior is equipped with every comfort. The owner is very attentive to guests without being intrusive.

The B&B is located in a very quiet area, the rooms are spacious, bright and very clean. Varied and very abundant breakfast, private parking. The owner is very nice, friendly and always available to provide information. Great experience.

The answer from the host:
Grazie Federica, sono felicissimo che siate stati bene! Che via piaciuta la struttura. Siete simpaticissimi anche voi. Un piacere ospitare gente come voi. Saluta tutta la family. A presto!

sara

Beautiful typical Tuscan farmhouse, immersed in the greenery and silence of the hilly countryside. Completely renovated, rooms furnished in a modern style and very clean, private bathroom (special mention to the very large shower with rain shower head). The relaxing pool is a sight to behold, surrounded by olive trees with a panoramic view to enjoy the sunset. Abundant and "social" breakfast allows you to start the day in the best way by getting to know the other guests. Thanks to Emanuele, manager/friend, always attentive to the needs of his guests, he welcomes you and makes you feel at home (the tavern where you recommended me to go for dinner was excellent). I leave this place with a heavy heart after just one night. Next time, because there will definitely be a next time, I will stay at least a week. See you soon, I hope.

Very cozy house, everything new, fantastic pool. Emanuele is a fantastic host, always attentive, willing to help you and give you the best stay. With a great humanity. Very quiet place to enjoy nature, away from the noise and bustle of big cities. Breakfast with very delicious sweet and savory treats, and adapted to each guest's schedule. Very good.

Short but very pleasant stay, B&B with a beautiful pool immersed in the woods, quiet, very well-kept even in the details, renovated and tastefully furnished. Also really appreciated the sweet and savory breakfast, so as to please all guests. Definitely recommended, would gladly return.

Great experience at Poggio del Drago farmhouse, the owner Emanuele is very friendly and easygoing, always available and attentive to guests' needs. Rooms decorated in a delightful way, equipped with every comfort. Abundant breakfast. Beautiful garden and view. To be repeated in the summer to also enjoy the pool.

We discovered this Bed & Breakfast thanks to the national Bed & Breakfast day, and after seeing the rooms on the website, we fell in love with them. In total, the structure, which is completely immersed in greenery and also has a pool, has 5 rooms, each more beautiful than the other. At Poggio del Drago, everything is as it should be: attention to detail, modern and quality furnishings, a family atmosphere, and the cherry on top is the friendliness of the owner Emanuele. Here a real family atmosphere is created, also thanks to the fact that breakfast, which is abundant, is served all together at one table. My experience here was truly positive, and if I am in the area, I will definitely return with pleasure. Therefore, I recommend it to everyone.
