“Places off the tourist track can be a pleasant surprise!”
We
give You our warm welcome to San Polo, a tiny village with an
ancient history, part of the small municipality of Caprese Michelangelo
and facing the enchanting Valtiberina in Tuscany, the valley
across which the river Tiber flows.
Here
You will get the chance to immerse yourself in beautiful landscapes
where man's work is in harmony with the surrounding countryside.
Close to the Tuscan Apennines and to the borders of Umbria,
Emilia Romagna and the Marche, these lands are cultivated with
meticulous care and passion and the hills are covered with calm,
untouched forests. Civilisation here only consists in quaint
medieval villages, lonely hermitages and settlements made of
stone, cotto and wood, playing host to many artists and great
people of the past.
A
good example of that is the municipality of Caprese Michelangelo.
Far away in time and space from historical event sites, it has
nevertheless given birth to Michelangelo Buonarroti and has
hosted more than once St. Francis of Assisi. Legend has it that
St. Francis once made a spring gush forth (it is still here
today) and performed a miracle during the restoration works
on the village church.
This
is the place where we've always been living. Our family business
takes care of the land we all are deeply bound to and from now
on is willing to welcome those who want to share with us our
passion for this land or those who simply look for some peaceful
and calm retreat where they can relax and enjoy local food.
That
is the reason why we have carefully restored our ancient houses
preserving their original warmth. Nevertheless they come equipped
with all comforts and conveniences of home. Weare confident
that our efforts will give You the chance of enjoying a pleasant
stay.

Apartments e Rooms
The
apartments are located in our ancient buildings,
which have been restored paying great attention to every
detail and trying to respect the original architecture:
visible wood beams, cotto floors and centuries old stone
beams have been preserved.
During the restoration works, we tried to combine modern
comforts with the warmth of a well-loved and well-lived
old place like this. In the same room, there often is an
ancient fireplace and a radiant floor-heating system, old
chestnut wood beams and comfortable parquet.
La
Casina and La Torre (built inside a former Langobard tower)
can easily host four people each, whereas Il Granaio has
room for two people and the largest apartment Mirolago has
room for six up to eight people.
All
apartments have a large living room with a fireplace, a
television, a kitchen or a cooking area. Each bedroom has
a private bathroom and shower.
The
second floor of the Casa Padronale hosts a single apartment.
We call it Mirolago because of the great view you can enjoy
from there.
Rooms
... The apartment is made up of three bedrooms with separate
entrances. Each room can therefore be rented separately.
The bedrooms are very roomy. Each one of them has antique
furniture, a bathroom with a shower and a nice wardrobe
area.
In addition to that, guests have access to the beautiful
Mirolago living-room. They can relax on the sofas, use the
kitchen, the dining room and the fireplace, enjoy the panoramic
balcony (furnished with chairs and tables) and breathe some
fresh air.
If You wish so, You can ask us to take care of Your breakfast,
which will consists in home-made products such as jam and
home-made cakes!
