Fattoria di Corsignano Poppi

Fattoria di Corsignano exudes an atmosphere of quality and relaxation. With views of Poppi castle and set in the rolling hills of Casentino it will take minutes to settle into ‘holiday mode’ and into your comfortable accommodation. As with its sister property (Fattoria di Celli) no expense has been spared in restoring Corsignano, the raw materials used are exquisite and add to the authentic feel of this country-style abode. The owner’s love of sculpture and art is reflected in much of the garden decoration. Despite having 15 apartments the whole feel of the Fattoria is of quality and exclusivity. Simona, the manageress, is readily on hand to give advice and assistance.

The following types of apartment are available:

• Studio apartments
• One bedroom apartments
• Two bedroom apartments (1 bathroom)
• Two bedroom apartments (2 bathrooms)
• Three bedroom apartments (2 bathrooms)
• Three bedroom apartments (3 bathrooms)
• Four bedrooms apartment (4 bathrooms)

Two of the apartments (Poltri Su and Poltri Giu) are approx. 200m from the main house. Being in the same house, they would be ideal for a large group. The addition of single beds is always possible.

All apartments have their own outdoor space for dining. Please note that all bathrooms have a shower. All beds are made up with 2 single matresses and can be either double or twin. Kitchens provide gas hobs, fridge (apartment Fattoria has an oven). If required an electric oven can be provided for those without and it is also possible to have a coffee maker in your apartment. There are fixed and mobile BBQs. A few times a year Corsignano holds weddings – please ask us if you feel this could cause you disturbance.
