What an amazing place! Peaceful, quiet, beautiful, rustic (they got the Tuscan decor just right). We just loved the atmosphere. Tito was a fabulous host. Great breakfasts. We rented a car and stayed here for three days. Every day we drove to some wonderful place like Assisi, or San Gimignano, ate our big meal at a nice restaurant at lunchtime,... More

With many many apartments to chose from in the Siena area, our gut feeling took us to Podernovo. And, as many times, that feeling was exactly right! The apartment was cosy and rustic, the bed was comfortable and the very basic kitchenette and bathroom clean. But above all the hospitality of Diana and Tito exceeded all expectations. Whether we wanted... More

We all arrived tired after a hectic year at work and school and we relaxed straight away. The setting is stunning - so peaceful and yet so close to shops and bars if you wish to go. A very beautiful place indeed!

We booked holidays at Villa Podernovo by phone and internet so we didn't know exactly what we would find. What a great surprise! The place is incredibly beautiful and very well maintained. The owners were very, very helpful in every manner, kind and aproachable. We were 10 adults and 8 children with ages ranging from 6 months to 5 years... More

Lovely location near little village of Monticiano. Village is 6 or 7 minute walk away. Diana and Tito the owners were very pleasant and helpful. Monticiano is about 30 minute drive from Sienna. You do need a car to get around the area. Overall a great relaxing get away from it all location.

My fiance and I stayed at Villa Podernovo in July this year for three nights. The location is fabulous, in the hills of Tuscany and the 18th century complex has been carefully brought up to date whilst maintaining its rustic charm. We were greeted by Tito, who is very welcoming and speaks excellent English which helps for advice and guidance... More

We stayed at the villa as a group of 14 for an intimate wedding. From the moment we arrived at the villa late on Saturday night it took our breath away, we were literally speechless that we were going to spend a week at this stunning place! After exploring every room we couldn't wait to see the villa in daylight... More

I seldom write reviews on-line, BUT I cannot stress how amazing Villa Podernovo is and so I had to this time. My wife happened upon the villa when we were looking to travel to Italy in August of 2010. We booked a few nights, though neither of us had ever even heard of Monticiano, because it seemed like the quiet... More

We recently spent a week here and I wish we could have stayed for two! The villa and grounds are ideallic and very well kept, it was a true delight to holiday here. We attended a small intimate wedding, the ceremony was at San Galgano, a couple of km away and had the evening celebration back at the villa. The... More
