inspiring


atop greenhouses. Te kitchen garden supplies the on-site


with seasonal produce, guiding the menus and cuisine philosophy. Local, sustainable ingredients are carefully selected for what the kitchen doesn’t grow itself. Tis commitment shapes every part of the guest experience — from field to fork. Francesca — Poggio ai Santi’s


owner — has a deep understanding of botany, which gave life to the restaurant garden and to a five-acre botanical park. Staying at Poggio is a daily discovery of stories, flavours and experiences.
