About this property

We're pleased to welcome you to a 300 year old stone barn on the Podere Sant'Angelo estate 700m high in the heart of Maremma.

Where once wine, cheese and cereals were stored, today you'll find our romantic holiday home 'Capitorio'. With its 50 square metres, a bedroom with a double bed, a fold-out armchair for one more person and a living area with sofa bed, it's perfect for couples or small families. The centrepiece is a genuine 'cucina in muratura' with a traditional stone sink and all the utensils you need to prepare delicious Tuscan dishes. For our smaller guests, we'll be happy to provide you with a cot and a highchair.

Capitorio has access to a tended private garden - a great place to while away lazy summer afternoons. At night the milky way stretches over the property and it's fun to see who can spot the most shooting stars.

Podere Sant'Angelo is special for its peaceful, tranquil location, great views, sunsets and lovely mediterranean garden.

Visit the
- hot springs at Saturnia
- Etruscan remains around Pitigliano
- UNESCO heritage landscapes of the Val d'Orcia
- hilltop towns of Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano
- unspoilt beaches of the Parco Maremma

Your host will welcome you in English, German, French or Italian and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Escape the stresses and strains of everyday life and experience Tuscany in its most original form.

Discover classic Tuscany: San Gimignano, Siena and Florence are within easy reach, as are the villages of Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza. Day trips to Rome are also possible by train from Grosseto.

N.B. There is an extra fee for more than 2 adults of €15.00/night, kids under 18 do not pay the supplement.

Good to know: Podere Sant'Angelo is off the regular road network. You reach the holiday home after three kilometres on a well-maintained 'strada bianca' (gravel road).

Relaxing accomodation, business or pleasure

Having been back twice now, I would highly recommend a stay in this quaint and relaxing accomodation. The service I received while there was some of the best I have experienced and Graham is extremely accomodating and friendly. I have stayed in both cottages and equally they are beautifully designed to fit in with the surroundings, very clean and cosy. Graham knows all the restaurants and sights in the area and was particularily great at introducing or directing us to these. This part of Tuscany is extremely beautiful all year round. I especially like my trip in December just as Tuscany starts getting festive. This is the perfect place to stay in the area, either to relax or if on business, to focus. Grahams Wi-fi is no doubt the best in the area and I was able to do everything I needed while there. I espeically like the fact it sits on the edge of a valley, waking up to such a perfect picture like landscape was definately a highlight!

Sehr ruhig und erholsam

Unser Aufenthalt in Podere Sant’Angelo war wunderbar ruhig und entspannend – man ist mitten drin in der Natur. In der und um die Ferienwohnung herum war alles vorhanden, was wir für unseren Urlaub benötigt haben. Einen Trip an den Strand von Marina di Alberese oder in die "Area archeologica" von Roselle können wir empfehlen – hierfür sollte man allerdings etwas Fahrzeit (ca. 1h 15 min) einplanen.

Wunderschöne Ferienwohnung inmitten der Natur

Wir haben 10 wunderschöne Tage im Podere Sant‘Angelo verbringen dürfen. Die Lage der Ferienwohnung ist ideal für alle, die in ihrem Urlaub Ruhe und Einsamkeit in der Natur suchen - genau das hatten wir auch gesucht! Auf der Terrasse konnten wir tagsüber wunderbar entspannen und Bücher lesen, abends kann man bei einem Gläschen Wein (hier gibt es sehr gute Weine) den einzigartigen Sternenhimmel bewundern - und dem Geräusch der Zirpen lauschen - ab und zu huschte auch ein Fuchs durch den Garten. Hier konnten wir richtig abschalten und entspannen. Ausflugsziele wie der schöne Naturstrand Marina di Alberese oder der Monte Amiata mit seinem einzigartigen Buchenwald sind ebenfalls mit dem Auto in Reichweite - wer kurvenreiche Sträßchen zu schätzen weiß kommt hier auf jeden Fall auf seine Kosten! Unser sehr netter Gastgeber Grahame hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und mit allen Informationen versorgt - die Unterkunft ist gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber - man hat alles gefunden, was man braucht (auch in der Küche). Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder!

About the host

Hosted by Graham Bradford

I grew up in the north west of England. After university studies in Scotland I left the UK to live and work in many different countries.
I've been enjoying life here at Podere Sant'Angelo now for over ten years and enjoy sharing my experiences of Maremma, where to eat and lovely places to visit, with guests.

Why they chose this property

Podere Sant'Angelo has wonderful views, and, as it faces west, enjoys amazing sunsets. The peace and quiet here have to be experienced to be believed and help all guests to relax and take on the slowed-down rhythms of the area. We're hidden away 700m high in the maremma hills, even during the hottest summer days we enjoy cool summer evenings.

What makes this property unique

This part of Tuscany is still off the regular tourist trail and, as such, offers a glimpse into life in Tuscany as it was 30 or 40 years ago. The small family run trattorie round about offer delicious home made cooking at very reasonable prices. The countryside isn't heavily farmed and there's an amazing variety of butterflies and insects in general to be seen here, the praying mantis is a favourite, as are the gekkoes that dart around the property in the summer months. There's no light pollution round here, guests often remark on the clarity of the night skies and the wonder of the Milky Way that stretches over the main house.
