Agriturismo Poderi Arcangelo San Gimignano

Instant Relaxation in the Heart of Tuscany We stayed at Poderi Arcangelo for three nights, and within 24 hours, I could feel the stress of work melt away. There’s something incredibly calming about this place the peaceful views over the vineyards, the quiet stillness of the countryside, and the natural rhythm of Tuscan life. My resting heart rate literally dropped from 60 to 52 by the end of our stay - I checked on Apple Health! The pool overlooks the hills, and mornings were spent sipping cappuccino while the landscape glowed. It’s the kind of setting that slows your heartbeat and clears your head. I haven’t felt this physically relaxed in a long time. Breakfast was just right: eggs, omelet, mortadella, fresh veggies, pastries, and good coffee. Dinner is served at €35 per person - overall very enjoyable, though the last dinner on Wednesday felt a bit underwhelming. We also splurged on a Bistecca alla Fiorentina, which made for a memorable meal. They have an on-site winery and produce their own olive oil, adding even more local charm. We took the Tuscan cooking class together a fun and intimate couple’s activity. We’re now heading home not just with souvenirs, but new memories and a shared love for making ravioli. It’s also perfectly located for exploring nearby towns. You don’t need to stay inside a medieval village - just visit, wander, and return to the tranquility of the hills. I get it now why Michelangelo painted here. I’d absolutely return.
