The Agriturismo

The Agriturismo (a combination of the Italian words for agriculture and tourism) Poggio di Sotto comprises two farmhouse buildings in the typical Florentine style, offering guests a warm, relaxed welcome and a quality service with every comfort. It is located in Galliano, in the heart of the Mugello, and has a stunning view of the valley around Bilancino Lake.

The Rooms

The rooms of the Agriturismo Poggio di Sotto are designed to create a relaxing, welcoming setting. The 9 rooms suit every need and allow guests to unwind and enjoy the atmosphere of the countryside in the Mugello.

The “Ribottini” farmhouse

A traditional stone country house surrounded by nature, equipped with a kitchen, fireplace and 14 beds. Ideal for families with children, who can play in the garden in front of the farmhouse, or for small groups of friends looking to rest far from traffic and noise.

Meeting Room

The Agriturismo has a large, welcoming function room, suitable for business meetings or training courses and events. Coffee-breaks and work lunches can be organised and will be served by our restaurant, Casa di Caccia.

Discover the surroundings
