Agriturism
The Agriturism Poggio Primo is in the heart of the Tuscan country at the foot of Pratomagno valley. The building going beck to 1800 is an ancient farm house well restored in the full respect of the original characteristics and building materials. The farm house corresponded to a farm, that is to a plot of land that was suitable to an autonomous agricultural production. Its position inside the farm allowed to use in optimum conditions and without any waste of time the labour force of all the family. The group of buildings could withstand all the exigencies of the different activities of breeding, cultivation and working. Near the house there was the farm yard where the cereals were threshed; this area, in front of the main face of the house, south set, was the only area stone paved contained one or more trees as walnut tree or mulberry tree, this last one is still today in our farm yard, that had to provide shade in summer. As the cattle was the most precious property for the biggest cattle, and the pigsty were put in annexes placed under the main house. In this way it was possible to protect themselves from punders and damages made by neighbourning farmers and way farmers. Besides in winter season, to protect themselves from the bad weather and from the severe climate the great fireplaces placed on the centre of the house was shared with the animals.
