Set in the most tranquil part of Tuscany, this Podere is an absolute delight. The whole building is spotlessly clean and whilst it is obviously relatively new, it retains a sense of the authentic Italy. The bedrooms are of a good size and comfortably furnished. Our room was on the ground floor which opened out onto the biggest patio area we've ever seen.
Surpringly there is a wonderful outdoor pool and patio area with some magnificent views to the village of Montemerano.
The owners were very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Despite being very quiet during our stay, there was always someone available to fetch drinks or snacks.
The Podere is quite remote (which we liked) and so we dined there each evening. The food was simple and authentic and we loved it .
Perhaps the best thing I can say is that if we ever return to Tuscany I will head straight for the Podere Santa Croce.
