Tale Poggio Alla Sala
Tuscan countryside estate with Silk Road-influenced interiors. Minimalist-elegant rooms, frescoed historic villa wing, four pools, a serious spa, and a kids club that means families genuinely fit in alongside honeymooners.
Book a room or suite in the Villa wing for the most historical atmosphere — four-poster beds, original frescoes and shuttered windows are worth the upgrade
Why It Matters
One of the few Tuscan estate hotels that successfully layers an East-West design identity onto genuine historic fabric — original frescoes, restored terracotta floors and vaulted ceilings — without it feeling like a themed hotel. The Michelin Guide flags it as uniquely positioned: capable of delivering the classic Tuscany experience with a distinctive point of view.
A 5-star estate resort set in an 18th-century neoclassical villa amid cypress and olive groves on the rolling hills just outside Montepulciano. The design concept draws on the ancient Silk Routes that once connected Italy to the Far East — so terracotta floors and vaulted frescoed ceilings share space with oud-scented spa rituals and an East-West fusion restaurant. It delivers the classic Tuscan estate experience, but with a restrained global point of view that keeps things from feeling formulaic.
