Hidden away in the Tuscan hills nestled somewhere
between San Gimignano and Sienna amongst rolling
vineyards and views to drink in, is Podere
Patrignone.

Travelling in the heart of Winter, as a through
traveller on to other bits of Europe, I have to say i
was not only seduced by the accommodation and
location all things Tuscan, I was bowled over by the
warmth of my hosts. I had heard about Patrignone
and Simon and V through friends in the UK and
took up the suggestion of visiting. It was worth it to
be in receipt of some fantastic authentic Tuscan
dishes alone - one of which - a heart warming bean
and sage pasta affair that i have been striving to
emulate ever since!
What also was a winner for me is how Patrignone
was a great place to sit and stop, relax and be quiet
away fro the hustle and bustle - peaceful and
alluring even in the chills of Winter, I imagine the
joys of summer to only enhance it.
This is authentic Tuscany away from the guide
books and in to a place i can only but recommend. I
will be back Simon and thanks again!
What also was a winner for me is how Patrignone is
set in enormous grounds with plenty of room to
explore or simply lounge on a sun terrace that is
bigger than my house...and it did not matter that
what time of day it was - peaceful and alluring even
in the chills of Winter, I imagine the joys of summer
to only enhance it.

Having stayed at Patrignone twice we can honestly say it is the most wonderful blend of location, character and tranquillity.
Patrignone is reached down a private road and is set in a beautiful 150 acre estate in the heart of Chianti Classico land. The location offers sweeping Tuscan hillside views including the towers of San Gimignano, and on clear days you can even see the Apennines. There are magnificent local restaurants (be sure to visit La Toppa in San Donato) and inspiring walks (not just those on the extensive estate). Within 45 minutes one can drive to Florence and enjoy the Uffizi or visit Sienna and its famous Campo.
Set in acres of old olive groves and woodland the historic farmhouse has wonderful character and charm. We stayed in Le Stalle which is a lovely 2 bedroom self-catering apartment with its own little terrace. The apartment is spacious, bright and has lovely old furniture to suit the character of the house.
Whatever we did, whether it was relaxing by the pool, or taking an early evening drink on the terrace, the feeling of tranquillity at Patrignone is everywhere. Add to that the welcoming, knowledgeable and relaxing hosts of Carla, Verity and Simon and the whole package is perfect. We’re now planning our 3rd visit with our young son, as Patrignone is one of the most family friendly places we’ve ever visited.
