It was lovely to sit there in the evenings drinking wine. The pool was a good size & plenty of space & sun chairs for everyone. The location is great. 20 mins to Siena & 10 mins to Colle Val Delsa. I would recommend checking out Casole D'elsa which is 10 mins by walking . Great hospitality & I hope to visit again soon.

a perfect place to explore Sienna and environment

Our stay in Casole was excellent in every way and very good value for money. We stayed in the Cottage Leccio which was a 2 bedroom apartment facing the beautiful gardens. Federica and her Mum were amazing throughout our stay. Federica helped us to organise two tours by booking on the phone and helped us with the language. She in fact saved us money by negotiating a better price for our Vespa tour in the Chianti countryside! That was an incredible experience! Podere Monti is a family business and we felt very warmly welcomed. A thousand thanks to Federica for making our honeymoon trip such a wonderful experience. We will be back!

You will be always welcome here. Federica + Family

Great for Touring Tuscany

This was our 2nd consecutive year to stay at Podere Monti (the name of this farmstead), this time for 2 weeks. The grounds around the cottage are beautiful, with a pool overlooking the gorgeous Tuscan countryside and a number of old stone buildings now mostly used as vacation rentals. The cottage itself is small, with average-quality interior and furnishings, but completely comfortable and functional. The location seemed perfect for us: 2 minutes from Casole (a beautiful medieval hilltop village much less touristed than most), 10 to 15 minutes from Menzano and Radicondili (2 other much-less-touristed and beautiful old towns), only 15 minutes from San Gimignano and 25 minutes from Siena (so you can easily time your visits to avoid the heaviest crowds if you want), maybe 30 minutes from the central Chianti villages, 45 minutes from Volterra and an hour from Firenze. The owners/managers Federica and her parents are very helpful, easy to work with, and as a bonus very charming. Federica's English is excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stays there and highly recommend it. If the cottage seems to small for you, check on the other house and apartments available at the same farmstead.

Jolie petite maison dans la campagne toscane. Accueil au top, agréable piscine partagée avec très belle vue. Emplacement idéal pour visiter Sienne, Florence, Voltera, le Chianti, ect... Peut-être un peu petit pour une famille de 4 en inter-saison mais en été, avec la terrasse, c'est parfait !

Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und typisch toskanisch eingerichtet! Es hat an keinerlei Ausstattung gefehlt! Die gesamte Anlage mit Pool ist liebevoll gepflegt, so dass man sich einfach nur wohl fühlen kann! Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin war sehr nett und reibungslos!

Entspannte Zeit in der Toskans

Eine wunderschöne gepflegte Anlage mit einem Pool mit ausreichend Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirmen. Die Anlage liegt einen guten Kilometer vom bezaubernden Ort Casole d' elsa entfernt, ist fußläufig in ca. 20 Minuten zu erreichen, ein wirklich gutes Restaurant in gut 10 Minuten. Ein Brötchendienst gab es nicht , der nächste Bäcker ist im Ort. Es empfiehlt sich Pooltücher mitzunehmen, da nur Duschtücher gestellt wurden. Die Wohnung war gut ausgestattet, uns fehlte nur die Kaffeemaschine, es war ein Filter und eine Porzellankanne vorhanden, wir würden dann empfehlen noch eine Thermoskanne mitzunehmen, wenn man mehr ,als eine Tasse zum Frühstück trinken möchte. Eine Espressokanne gab es natürlich auch. Es empfiehlt sich auch eine Grundausstattung an Gewürzen mitzunehmen. Wir wurden in unserer Uraubszeit von einer heftigen Mückenplage überrascht, darauf sollte man vorbereitet sein. Mit langen Klamotten abends , langen Schlafanzügen ( die Schlafzimmer hatten Gott sei Dank Klimaanlage) und Autan war es dann okay. Wir würden jederzeit wieder im Podere Monti unseren Urlaub verbringen, wir haben uns bei Frederica und ihrer Familie sehr wohlgefühlt. Ausserdem ist die Lage hervorragend für den Besuch der Städte Highlights der Toskana.

Fantastic

Just returned from a one week stay and cannot praise it enough. Frederica and her family were so friendly and could not do enough to make us feel welcome. Really enjoyed the Cooking Lesson and would recommend it for a fun and interesting break fro those superb panoramic views of the rolling countryside. We also really enjoyed our visits to the small hilltop villages that are just a short drive away from the property. We will return!

Dear Anonymous, thank you for your review. I regret not knowing who wrote this review to be able to thank and respond appropriately. First of all, thank you for your stay, the time you have dedicated to this review and the child words about me. I am happy that you enjoyed our location and the cleanliness of your accommodation. On this point we are very careful and we think it is very important as well as the kitchen equipment, as you mentioned. I'm sorry you thought the pillows were "dangerous", but I really do not understand how a pillow can be considered dangerous. Both my family and I, we do our best to welcome and take care of our guests. Unfortunately, my father does not speak any foreign languages ​​and I'm sorry if you had a misunderstanding about that. Finally, in addition to the GPS position,I always send a file with the instructions to reach our location (1 km from the village) and till now it was enough to let guests reach the farm with no problems. Even on this point, I would have been pleased to understand you better and accept suggestions from your part if instead for you it was more difficult. That said, I'm happy that your overall experience here was positive. I wish you all the best, Federica

We took our 5 year old son on his first foreign holiday and stayed for a week at Cottage Leccio. It is not luxurious, but that suited us fine as there was less to worry about in terms of letting our son explore! The cottage was fine and had most of what we needed. The pool is large and clean, but not heated. The location is great for visiting places such as Siena , Florence and San Gimignano. The village is only 1 km away. We would stay again!

This wonderful place saved us from a bad rental ex

Excellent choice! We called to see if the cottage was available after arriving at another place we had rented that was not at all as advertised. Federica left in the middle of her dinner preparation to meet us. We were wowed when we walked in and saw an extremely clean , well laid out, and well stocked cottage. Federica gave us a tour, explained how everything worked . The unit is well decorated in a mix of contemporary and retro styles . We had a fantastic time and wished we could have spent more than 7 nights there. It was quiet at night and the bed in the master was extremely comfortable. Thank you, Federica, and thanks for mailing the postcard to 'Mom' for us. You're a great.

A beautiful place to stay with outstanding views across the Tuscan landscape and excellent hosts

Podere Monti consists of three apartments in the main house and three separate villas which all share a wonderful swimming pool with a beautiful view north to San Gimignano. Our villa (Leccio) was very comfortable, clean and ideally located close to the swimming pool. The location is 900m from Casole D'Elsa, a typically beautiful and relaxed Tuscan fortified hill village with art shops, an ancient and fascinating church and a few restaurants, two of which are very good. Podere Monti is run very efficiently by the Ianniciello family. Federica is the point of contact with guests and is very helpful indeed, providing excellent information on sights to see, places to park in Florence, Sienna etc and a really useful guide to local restaurants, supermarkets etc. The family is very friendly and attentive to guests' needs without being intrusive in any way. We had a wonderful holiday and always looked forward to returning to Podere Monti to relax and unwind beside the pool. Thanks very much and see you again soon hopefully!

Clean property, good facilities at both property and local town.The house is place close to Casole, a small hamlet at the top of a hill, 10 minutes by car to the town of Colle di Val D´Elsa. The hamlet is extremely well restored as it looks a medieval village brand new builded. It is surrounded by oak trees and has superb views of the Tuscany all around. The sunsets are not to be missed. Excellent location, the owners are really helpful and nice.

Tuscan Treasure

We decided to explore Tuscany and use Casole d'elsa as our home base during our recent trip to Italy. We wanted to stay away from the touristy crowds but still be able to get to different towns easily. The cottage is situated in a perfect location: 1 min from Casole , 20 min from San Gimignano, another 20 min from Volterra, etc. The owners made us feel at home the moment we entered the gate. They had a lot of good information about Casole and Tuscany in general .If we have the opportunity to return to Tuscany in the future, we would choose Podere Monti again in a heartbeat.
