Omgiven av fält av solrosor och vete i de böljande kullarna i den orörda Val di Chiana, ligger denna vackra toskanska landsvilla mellan två charmiga bergsbyar fyllda med fantastiska restauranger, viner och enastående shopping - samt konst, historia och vackert vyer.

Podere Dadino är ett tvåvåningshus, sten- och tegelhus, typiskt för området. Det har restaurerats omsorgsfullt och behåller de ursprungliga elementen i tegelbågar, takbjälkar och vissa innerväggar av exponerad sten och tegel. Det rymliga och bekväma huvudhuset uppgår till cirka 3500 kvadratmeter.

Du kommer in genom en täckt portik (veranda, med utomhusbord för tio). Inuti delar tre stora bågar ätkök (med antik bondgård), matsalen med ett bord för tolv eller fler, och det soliga vardagsrummet med stor öppen spis och avancerade (men bekväma) soffor och fåtöljer. På den andra sidan av köket finns ett badrum med dusch; en studie med stort antikt träbord / skrivbord och en bäddsoffa; ett TV-rum med tillgång till trädgården och poolområdet; och ett tvättstuga med gott om lagringsutrymme.

En stentrappa leder upp till det högtakta, luftiga, vardagsrummet; fyra sovrum (tre sovrum, vardera med en king size-säng, och ett sovrum med en queen-size säng); två bad (ett med dusch och ett mycket stort badrum med dusch och separat jacuzzi); och en stor klädkammare.

Det bifogade pensionatet, ungefär 430 kvadratmeter, har en separat ingång, två sovrum (alla med en queen-size säng), ett litet badkar med dusch och ett kök-vardagsrum med sitt ursprungliga stenfat. Observera att hyra av pensionat utöver huvudbyggnaden är ytterligare 500 dollar.

Huset har gott om utrymme att vara "tillsammans" som en familj eller en grupp vänner - antingen vid poolen, spela boccia, laga mat läckra måltider och njuta av dem inomhus eller ute, eller prata i vardagsrummet. Layouten möjliggör också privata utrymmen när du vill ha lite tid ensam - oavsett om du arbetar (eller slumrar) i studien, har en lugn läsning i övervåningen på övervåningen eller hittar en lugn plats under träden.

Apparaterna är nya. Köken är fullt utrustade och lämpliga för gourmetmatlagning. Alla madrasser, soffor och fåtöljer är nya, bekväma och av hög kvalitet. Badrummen har moderna armaturer. Alla fönster och dörrar har myggskärmar. Annars har huset dekorerats och möblerats i traditionell toskansk landstil, med karakteristiska färger, tyger och noggrant utvalda antika bitar för en autentisk och bekväm toskansk upplevelse.

Även om det är lättillgängligt och inte avlägset (det är fem kilometer från motorvägsavfarten A1), är inga andra hus synliga från huset eller grunderna. En 400 meter (ungefär 4000 fot lång) grusväg leder till huset, så huset ligger väl tillbaka från vägen bakom ett stort fält. Huset ligger på två tunnland välskött privat trädgård och gräsmattor, och erbjuder flera områden för grillning eller pizzatillverkning, äta utomhus, underhållande eller koppla av med en bok och ett glas vin.

Grunderna har varit professionellt anlagda med gräsmattor, rosor, lavendel, blommor och buskar av alla slag, krukor med oleander och aromatiska blommor runt mogna fruktträd (plommon, aprikoser, päron, äpplen, nötter och fikon), cypress och skugga träd. Trädgården inkluderar en produktiv 50 kvadratmeter ekologisk grönsaks- och örtträdgård med sallader, arvtomater, aubergine, paprika och mer.

Den täckta främre portiken, med bord och stolar för 10, är en favoritplats för frukost på morgonen och middag på kvällen - titta på morgonljuset eller solnedgången med kullarna i fjärran.

En wisteria-täckt loggia, med traditionell utomhus pizzaugn, matbord och stolar, ligger på sidan av huset nära poolen, tillsammans med en stor tegelgrill för utomhusmatlagning. Loggia är en perfekt, skuggig plats för lunch! Och det är mycket roligt att göra egna pizzor.

Poolen 6 om 12 meter (cirka 18 fot och 36 fot) med utomhusdusch får full sol under hela dagen. Trädställningen gör en skuggig plats i den ena änden av poolen, bredvid boccia bollplan i full storlek - för dina boccespel på kvällen. I den andra änden av poolen erbjuder en rustik, vattentäckt pergola ett annat utrymme för uteservering eller dvalning.

Huset är perfekt för en grupp vänner att koppla av och komma ikapp; för värd för en storfamilj eller två; för att fira en milstolpe födelsedag, en speciell jubileum eller en familjeevenemang; eller bara som en plats att uppleva Toscana som bäst.

Vår vaktmästare är en livslång lokal man som bor mycket i närheten och är tillgänglig för problem eller problem. Matlagning och extra städning finns tillgänglig.

Fastigheten är perfekt belägen för att utforska södra Toscana och Umbrien, antingen via huvudvägen eller landsvägar. Huset ligger precis över "gränsen" som delar provinserna Arezzo och Siena, vilket ger dig de två vackraste dalarna i Toscana - Val di Chiana och Val d'Orcia (en UNESCO: s världsarvslista). Charmiga städer, historia, konst, vacker natur, fantastiska restauranger, vin och hantverkare finns i alla riktningar.

Siena ligger 35 kilometer bort, Arezzo 20 kilometer, Cortona 15 kilometer. Montalcino, Montepulciano, Pienza, vinvägarna Colli Aretini och Colli Senesi (och vingårdar), mineralerna med varmt vatten söder om Siena, etruskiska arkeologiska platser och många andra intressanta platser, inklusive evenemang, festivaler, lokala marknader och designern butiker nås lätt för dagsutflykter. Vi tillhandahåller en detaljerad husbok som erbjuder förslag och råd om restauranger, shopping, platser att besöka, saker att göra och mycket mer.

Vi är stolta över våra många 5-stjärniga recensioner, och skicka e-post med frågor och kolla vår webbplats. Vi älskar huset och området - och hoppas att du också kommer.

Underbart hus, vacker trädgård och toppenpool!

Fantastiskt vackert, välutrustat och bekvämt hus. Hur enkelt som helst att bara packa upp väskan och börja njuta av livet. 10 vuxna och två små barn hade gott om plats både inne och ute, även i poolen. Bra läge mellan mysiga Lucignano och Monte San Savino, nån timme söder om Florens. Hit vill man igen!

A beautiful house in a stunning location

We (9 people, 2 families, all "children" grown up) enjoyed a wonderful 2 weeks at Podere Dadino. The house is beautiful and genuinely seems to have everything you need. All the beds are very comfortable and the nets on the windows are life savers. The garden is beautiful and so well looked after and the pool area is amazing. The "young people" says it's the best pool we have ever had, and we have been coming to Italy every summer for a number of years! The location is perfect: near the main road, but very quiet, and so close to two lovely small towns, with lots of restaurants to choose from. And very drivable to Siena and Arezzo. Would definitely recommend a stay at Podere Dadino and we would love to return.

Perfect Tuscany House

The house is in a quiet location and while not immediately next to the big attractions of Florence or Sienna it is in a great location if you want to explore Tuscany. It is extremely well equipped, even down to spare phone charging leads. The layout of the house is ideal for groups or family and the pool is just fantastic. If you stay here, you will not be disappointed.

Tolle Auszeit

Wir waren mit drei befreundeten Familien (Kinder zw. 1-4 Jahren) in Podere Dadino. Für uns alle war es eine tolle Zeit. Das etwas abseits gelegene Haus war genau richtig für unsere Belange. Gerade mit unseren Kindern, die ungestört und ohne Straßenverkehr toben und entdecken konnten. Die Kontakte zur Vermieterin und die Organisation waren bestens und superfreunlich. Danke nochmal für zwei schöne entspannte Wochen im August. Insgesamt uneingeschränkt empfehlenswert!

Family holiday in Tuscany

We had a wonderful two week holiday at Monte San Savino. The villa was beautiful and very well equipped and the grounds and swimming pool all kept immaculate. We made good use of the Pizza oven and Barbecue , eating outdoors was pleasant as temps were 30c plus, but if you preferred to eat in, the Kitchen/ Dining room is very attractive and spacious in a traditional Tuscan style. All our family enjoyed the location, making trips to Florence, Sienna and other villages within easy reach. We hope to return one day.

Unvergesslich Schön

Die Woche in Victoria's Haus war einer unserer schönsten Urlaube. Das ganze Anwesen ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos und hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Die Kommunikation mit Lolita, Victoria's Managerin war völlig problemlos und das 4 Gänge Menü das sie und ihre Mami uns gekocht haben war lecker. Wir waren eine Gruppe bestehend aus 4 Kindern, einem Teenager und 6 Erwachsenen und wirklich jeder kam in dieser Woche auf seine Kosten.

Semplicemente perfetto !

Dalla descrizione dell’annuncio avevo pensato che fosse la migliore sistemazione per noi, gruppo di 3 famiglie con figli ormai maggiorenni disposti a condividere un periodo di relax alla scoperta della Val D’Orcia ! Ebbene, la proprietà di Victoria e’ risultata ben superiore alle aspettative: casa di campagna dotata di tutti i comfort in un contesto paesaggistico unico in Italia. Quello che colpisce di più è la cura dello spazio esterno (di cui Vanni e Lolita sono i primi responsabili): il giardino è perfettamente mantenuto, l’orto offre ogni giorno deliziose primizie, la piscina è adatta a grandi gruppi come il nostro (12 persone in totale). Fare la pizza nel forno a legna è stata un’esperienza divertente e unica, il barbecue di carne chianina acquistata da Aldo (famoso macellaio di Monte San Savino) una scoperta deliziosa ! Insomma, tutto semplicemente perfetto !

Stay as Long as You Can: It's a Wonderful Place

Friends and family made this comfortable and well-appointed country house our base for a memorable 2-week stay. A major reason for choosing this house was near certainty that the property would be as good in person as it looked online and that everything would work. (We had trouble with the TV, but that was probably due to our ineptitude.) We not only liked the house, but just as importantly, we liked the location and the incredibly helpful instructions provided re: everything from what shops to visit in the nearby villages to how to run the washing machine. Not that we spent a lot of time at our Tuscan home--we set forth every day to visit a new hill town to discover the riches of Tuscany all around us. At night, we cooked communal dinners and shared our day's adventures. If there were anything I could change about this nearly perfect place, it would be to build a footpath to the nearest village so walking there was easier. A car is necessary, so expect a fair amount of driving depending on how you want to spend your days. It would be nice to visit again when the weather is warmer to take advantage of the yard and pool. But, the cooler weather meant fires in the fireplace and grilling outside over a wood fire. And, we never had enough time to finish reading all of the great Italian cookbooks and local guides. Next time!

A Tuscan Treasure!

For several years I have envisioned a trip to Tuscany with friends, staying at a lovely villa, , visiting nearby medieval hill top villages taking time out for lunch, a glass of wine and some gelato of course, then returning home to our place in the countryside. Well, I couldn't have chosen a better villa to make this dream come true. All seven of us fell in love with it the minute we saw it. Lolita greeted us warmly, and we certainly enjoyed the dinner she prepared and delivered to us. Believe me, after a overnight flight, and driving from the Rome airport, we were more than delighted and relieved to sit down to a delicious dinner and to start enjoying our vacation. Speaking of Lolita and food, I would highly recommend arranging a "pizza night" with her. Lolita and her mother came and prepared a lovely meal for us featuring pizza with three different toppings. We had this our last night which was a great idea. We rented both the house and the guest house so everyone had their own bedroom which they loved. We focused on the farm to table theme. Despite the fact that it was towards the end of the season, we took advantage of what was in the vegetable garden making stuffed squash, butternut squash soup, eggplant parmesan , and many dishes involving fresh tomatoes. Of course, it was a treat to run out to garden to grab a head of fresh lettuce for the night's salad. We certainly can't complain about the weather, as it had cooled down considerably from the high temperatures of the summer. The Tuscan sun, warm but not too hot, greeted us each day. To work in all the villages we had intended to see, we got home too late each day to take full advantage of the amazing swimming pool. However, we did work in a couple of naps poolside. Speaking of villages, we visited 14 of them.... Cortona, Assisi, Volterra, San Gimignano, Montalcino, Sienna, Orvieto, Pienza, Montepulciano, Arezzo, etc. We had a hard time coming up with a favorite. On good advice, we took the train to Florence (to avoid the driving in the city). As "Rick Steve's disciples" we went to the Academia, the Uffizi Gallery, and followed his audio Renaissance Walk through Florence. Another special treat for us was a cooking class at Podere Il Casale near Pienza. It was fantastic! Driving through Italy on the narrow, curvy roads presented a bit more of a challenge than anticipated even with the car's Garmin, but we returned the cars unscathed. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Nice house and a great location

Just spent a fun week with extended family at this house, and it was everything the reviews described it as. We were there during a heat wave (it was in the 90's all week, including at night), so the pool was essential and all of us used it everyday. It's a great pool, very large and clean, with plenty of room for a big family to use. A couple caveats: the house does not have A/C and it is *extremely* warm even with fans in all the bedrooms, so be prepared for that if you're there in July and August. We enjoyed exploring many nearby towns including Sienna, Arezzo, Monte San Savino, Florence, and Lucignano, however nothing is in walking distance from the house (especially given the narrow bending roads which are dangerous to walk beside), so keep that in mind if that is something important to you. (Being able to easily walk into a town.) Lolita, the house keeper, was very kind and helpful. We hired her and her mother to make us a 4-course Italian dinner one night, which was fantastic. We also took advantage of the outdoor barbecue and bocce ball court. Overall, a great house and a great location!

Live your perfect life

We came to this amazing house to share a week with friends and family from the USA, Holland, Peru and Switzerland. We had 3 kids who took full advantage of the beautiful pool and the green space and garden.... we may have even left you a frisbee! The adults loved the large "american" beds, the various outdoor spaces where we enjoyed aperol spritz's every night, and the pool as well. We had Lolita over to prepare wood fired pizzas for the group and explored Siena, Montepulciano and Lucignano and Monte San Savino. Such a joy. The house is fully stocked with everything you need from towels to great quality knives to countless books, and sound advice from the owners. You can't go wrong with this spot! Enjoy.

One wonderful week in Tuscany

My family of nine members recently spent a week at Podere Dadino. What a lovely home! Every comfort and need was well thought out. After a long day of sightseeing, it was a special treat for us to enjoy the beautiful pool and bask in the warm Tuscan sun. I highly recommend this property and hope to return in the near future.

Under the Tuscan Sun in September

We can't express how much we enjoyed staying at this beautiful Tuscan country home nestled between two charming towns.  It was absolutely perfect!  Our visit to Tuscany included four couples and 3 young adult children.  The home met our every need.  The grounds are immaculate, the house beautifully restored with many amenities for your use. Many of the other reviews outline the amenities which I won't reiterate; however, other items to also mention are that it includes a complete library highlighting travel and regional highlights as well as a large collection of Tuscan cookbooks.  Victoria, one of the owners and main contact could not be more responsive to any question you may have.  She is an email away whether in the US or in Italy. Lolita is the local contact who is minutes away is available for information, preparing meals and responding to any needs you may have. Our group asked Lolita to prepare a dinner on the day we arrived as we were quite jet lagged and she delivered a wonderful meal and shared much information about the local area.  We cooked in all the other days and I must say we gave the kitchen a thorough workout and it met all our needs. We enjoyed pizza night by the authentic wood burning pizza oven which was another highlight among so many.  With the house as a main gathering place, we visited wineries in Montepulciano and the surrounding area. The Vino Nobile was outstanding and I fear we spent far to many Euros shipping wine home.  We attended a cooking school in Cortona which was a tremendous amount of fun.  At the end of the instructions everyone sits down to eat the huge meal along with pitchers of Vino dela Casa.  Victoria provides a very comprehensive "house book" in advance with many, many recommendations about all these areas as well as information about the house and grounds. Other days we spent seeing the sights in , Arezzo, Cortona, Orvieto, Montalcino, Siena and travelling the Chianti road.  Our groups were sometimes split up but then we all met back at the Villa.  The evenings were filled with cooking, eating and enjoying the wines. If you want to stay at a quintessential Tuscan villa that is the picture of everything you ever think of about when dreaming ofTuscany, this is the place for you.  The time was not nearly enough.

Amazing Tuscan Home!!

Our family had an absolutely amazing time in this beautiful Tuscan country home that far exceeded our expectations! The website (www.tuscancountryhouse.com) does an excellent job describing the home, so no point in wasting space detailing that here. The site also has a wonderful gallery of photos. Needless to say, the home is a beautifully restored with many modern amenities. A few amenities that were especially appealing to our group was the beautiful pool (we used it almost every night), manicured grounds, outdoor brick grill and three outdoor eating areas. The fenced and gated property nestled between a large sunflower field and rolling Tuscan hills provided ideal solitude and privacy. Ideally located between two quaint Tuscan towns while at the same time just minutes from the highway. By car the house is 1 hour from Florence, 45 minutes to Siena. Victoria (one of the owners) is wonderful to work with, as well as Lolita (local contact, housekeeper, cook), Piero (groundskeeper) and Vanni (property manager). Lolita made us a Tuscan dinner one night which was one of the highlights of our trip. Not only was the 4-course meal outstanding, but she was a delight to talk with after the meal! Our day trips included, Perugia, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, Lucignano, Cortona, Cinque Terre and Florence. All of them are amazing in their own way. Victoria’s house book was the perfect companion to the region and provided many tips to guide our visit. In the end, we loved the house and didn’t want to leave. We are planning our next trip there as we speak!

Beautiful and peaceful

Podere Dadino is perfect in every way. It is a spacious, comfortable house with beautiful gardens and pool. The house is very well equipped as the owner appears to have thought of one's every need. The house is also well situated for easy access to Firenze, Siena, Cortona and many hill towns. Lolita and Andrea came to the house to make us a pizza dinner and it was sensational! Podere Dadino is a great choice where you can relax, enjoy and experience the Tuscan countryside.

Relax and explore Tuscany

We stayed at Podere Dadino for a week in early June with our entire family consisting of 5 adults and a 15 month-old baby. The main house (we did not use the secondary building) was spacious and well-appointed, offering each of us comfort and privacy. The house grounds are meticulously maintained and are quite beautiful. The house's location is perfect for visits to Sienna, Montalcino, Pienza, Arezzo, Cortona as well as the two, local, charming towns of Monte San Savino and Lucignano. It was always a delight to return to Podere Dadino and the end of a hot day for swimming and relaxing by the pool.

Podere Dadino Getaway

We rented this outstanding Tuscan home for three weeks with very high expectations and were not disappointed. The accommodations are very spacious, comfortable, spotless, and very well maintained. All the comforts of home are there for your enjoyment. The main house and guest are large enough to comfortably handle 10-12 people without feeling cramped and the walls are so thick that you can't hear anything through them --very quiet. We had small children visit and they and their parents stayed in the guest house -- perfect set up. Amazing pool and attached arbor area where you can enjoy apertivos and watch the sun set. I would encourage having Lolita fix pizza in the outdoor pizza oven and also a traditional Tuscan dinner -- both were a special treat and worth it. The location is ideal for day trips visiting medieval villages, Florence is a little over an hour's drive. WE HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME!! LOVED IT!!!

Podere Dadino Family Reunion

My brother and I rented this lovely house for a family reunion. It turned out to be a spectacularly perfect venue for us. We were as many as 10 people some of the time, and one great feature of the house is the privacy possible because of its spaciousness and configuration. It is quite difficult to hear what other people are doing, so you don't feel piled on top of one another. We had two families with young children, and having the guest house for them -- attached but still separate -- made their visit really enjoyable because the kids could be put to bed easily or take naps without affecting everyone else. Everything about the house and its furnishings is both beautiful and functional, and well cared for. You have a sense that it is someone's home , which is good, but it is also comfortably your own while you are there. The "comfortable" aspect is important -- it really did feel like home in the best possible way. We had Lolita come and make pizzas one night, and also cook a Tuscan dinner another night -- both were delicious and very much worth the cost. The setting and location are perfect, and we were there long enough to make good use of the pool and the various outdoor eating spots. We all hated to leave and would love to come back again. Lucignano is a very charming, interesting, and pleasant town close by, as is Monte San Savino. We spent a lot of time just hanging out in those towns, having aperitivi, shopping, or eating. Everything about the rental was handled efficiently and quickly. I would recommend this house to anyone with a family or group as a terrific venue for a lovely vacation.

The actual Podere Dadino was even better than the online pictures!

My family and I spent an amazing week in October at the Podere Dadino. It's always risky booking something online, but based on prior reviews, we took a chance. We are so VERY happy we did. The Tuscan experience offered by the Podere Dadino was one that my family will long cherish. As New York City dwellers, we so enjoyed the country atmosphere and quiet. Who knew there were so many stars in the sky!! The house is just lovely on the inside, and the grounds are meticulously kept with all sorts of beautiful flora. The outside pizza oven and bocci court were a treat for us all. (It was too cool for the pool, but the pool is spectacular!) The house was well located for day trips to many wonderful Tuscan towns such as Montepulciano, Lucignano, Cortona (a real favorite), Siena, Pienza and a bit further, Florence. While all of the meals we had in Tuscany were delicious, Il Goccino, a restaurant in Lucignano, was one of our favorite dining experiences. Victoria, the Podere's owner, kept us well-informed during the process and was most helpful in answering our numerous questions. Her house book also made our stay so much easier. All of our questions were answered in this book. Lolita, Andrea and Vanni, our contacts in Italy, were also incredibly responsive to our needs. I would love to return some day with my granddaughters who were too little to appreciate the villa. I hope Victoria will still be renting her lovely Podere Dadino in the future. It truly was one of the best vacation experiences we have ever had!

Podere Dadino - A vacation to remember.

We rented Podere Dadino which is located between Monte San Savino and Lucignano in Tuscany.  In the words of our children and grandchildren, “it was the best family vacation ever!”   The home and the grounds exceeded all our expectations.   The house is located in sunflower, grape and corn fields about 15 minutes from each of the two nearest towns.  The grounds/house incorporates a very large pool, a 6 bedrooms/4 full baths, a full vegetable garden, bocce court, outdoor brick grill with dry wood and a pizza oven.   The rooms in the house are all large.  The kitchen is large and very well equipped with the best dinnerware and extensive cooking utensils.  It has a good oven and cook top but no garbage disposal.  There was a place for organic garbage on the grounds.  The recyclable trash is deposited in large containers along the roads.  The bathrooms are very well equipped including a complete first aid kit in each.   The care and management of the house and grounds are in the hands of Lolita, who met us when we arrived and briefed us on the house and grounds and also offered an optional service along with her mother to cook meals, etc.  We also had the occasion to call her when one of our cars had a flat tire at the house.  She brought a mechanic to the house and he took care of the tire.     The care of the pool and grounds was handled by Piero, a fine Italian gentleman, who was at the house every 3 or 4 days.  He cared for the vegetable garden which provided us with tomatoes (regular and plum), cucumbers, zucchini, onions and basil throughout our stay.  We arrived at the tail end of the plum season from the tree on the grounds.  We had 3 days of fresh plums.  Piero kept the pool absolutely spotless and skimmed.   Paola came to the house each Friday to change the bed linens and bath towels.  The quality of the linens and towels was first class.  There is a washing machine but no dryer, but plenty of facility for hanging clothes on the racks outdoors.  One of our initial concerns when we were considering renting the house was that it is not air conditioned. This was not a problem.    The house also offers two TV sets, with satellite coverage (primarily foreign) and WiFi in several of the rooms.  The library of DVDs is extensive as is the reading library.   To repeat the words of our children, “it was the best vacation ever!”, certainly aided by the many  comforts afforded by this very special house in this very special area.

Fabulous

I honestly could not fault this villa, it was perfect for our family - grandparents, parents and 3 young children. The house is beautiful and the gardens even more so with lots of lovely shady areas to sit, an amazing pool, a garden with fresh vegetables and of course the pizza oven! I could not recommend this property enough. We most definitely hope to return.

Loved by the whole family

Our party was 3 generations and included a baby and 2 nearly 3yr olds. The villa catered for and was loved by all. We used the main house and annex which meant that there was ample space for 3 families to spread and be comfortable, as well as find peace if needed. All the "admin" surrounding our stay was faultless and added to the sense of relaxation while on our holiday. The owner is happy to answer queries both before and after booking, the deposit and payment process was well managed ( with very speedy deposit return after our holiday ), the villa has a great "support" staff to ensure garden, pool, etc all run smoothly and a detailed "House Book" provides all the information you could want to give you a trouble free stay. In fact we kept a copy open on the kitchen table to answer all those little " how do you ...." queries as they arose. What none of this can prepare you for is the sheer "WOW" factor when you arrive. The gardens, the pool, the house and all the equipment were way in excess of our expectations - and we had had pretty high expectations to begin with ! The house is equipped with the quality and care that you would expect from a home and that is the feel of the place - your home , not a rental. From the thick bathroom towels, to the fantastically equipped kitchen, to the well stocked TV room and library - everything is there to cosset you and make you feel welcome. A huge plus for us was the provision of quality baby equipment - cot, high chair and booster seats, and a selection of pool toys to keep all ages happy. The other huge bonus was the insect screens on all doors and windows. this was especially welcome in the bedrooms where it was possible to have a completely bug free sleeping environment, meaning we did not have to cover the children in insect repellent over night The pool itself is magnificent - large, with gentle steps down into it and a cover that keeps the heat in, so that the water was always warm and inviting, and the surrounding area is beautifully laid out with shower, sun loungers and a shaded loggia area. Rest of the garden was beautifully maintained and a productive vegetable garden fought against some very hostile weather conditions during our stay. A special mention to Lolita, who was able to be flexible with arrival and departure times and with her mother provided us with a variety of catering options all of which were fabulous. An amazing holiday in outstanding accommodation, highly recommended. We must return.

Tuscany at it's finest

A family group of 10 people stayed in the villa for a period of nearly 2 weeks. We are 6 adults and 4 children ages 5 to 11. The house, overall setting and overall surrounding areas could not be more ‘Tuscan’ than if you created the perfect place in your own mind. The entire stay was full of accolades by each guest (including the children) The house itself is perfect. We occupied both the main house as well as the attached guest house. And everyone had lots of room and we all were comfortable. Upon arriving, this picturesque villa has Tuscany and Italy written all over it and it provides a most welcoming charm. The house furnishings provided all the comforts of home (utensils, appliances, furnishings, books, magazines, and overall charm). There are several TVs available, but they were not used at all (even by the children); the WI-FI worked fine and all appliances were put to good use (washer, dish washer, ironing board, etc.). The surrounding grounds are marvelous. In the immediate area is a vegetable garden as well as fruit trees and in the adjoining fields are grape vineyards and rolling hills. While we were there, the garden was producing a nice crop of tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers- which we enjoyed thoroughly. The swimming pool is an excellent size and was a welcome sight for everyone after a day of touring neighboring villages and towns. Everyone made great use of the pool and it kept the children excited for the entire stay. We found the neighboring town of Lucignano one of the most charming Tuscan villages we have ever visited. It is small, has some history, shops are excellent and the restaurants are superb. We ate in 4 of the restaurants in the town and each was superb. The comments provided by the owner in the ‘house book’ were right on as to recommendations of each of the restaurants. The restaurant L’Oste Matto was one of the finest restaurants I have ever visited (inventive dishes, terrific selections, each menu item had the personal touch of the owner, outstanding service). Additionally the restaurants Il Goccino and La Rocco were also excellent (we ate in each twice). Terrific day-trips are easy from this central location. We took trips to Cortona (25 minutes), Florence ( I hour train from Arezzo) (twice), Siena (45 minutes), Assisi (70 minutes), Pienza (40 minutes- and a real find), Castello Brolio, Montepulciano (40 minutes), and several other towns.

An Adventure in Tuscany

Podere Dadino was a wonderful Villa nestled in the heart of Tuscany. An ideal location for sightseeing, and a comfortable relaxing enviornment after a busy day of touring. The home meets all your needs and has beautiful grounds, views you will never forget and a wonderful place for a family to vacation and see the world. We had a hard time leaving. Seina, Florence , Pisa, Luca were just a few cities that were easy day trips. This was the best family vacation ever and we were blessed to be able to be together and experience the adventure. We made memories, that can never be replaced. I hope to return to Podere Dadino some day.

We (the owners) live in the USA, and rented houses in Tuscany for 25 years before finding, buying, and furnishing Podere Dadino. In our years of renting other houses, we had many good experiences as well as some that were disappointing, so we knew what we wanted and what makes for a satisfying stay in the Tuscan countryside. We have furnished and decorated the house with care - and always keep it perfectly maintained. Our goal is that you feel at home when you come through the door, and that everything is in place to make your stay both relaxing and memorable. It is our vacation home too - and we are very demanding!

When we are here, we alternate between days of sightseeing and relaxation, swimming and playing bocce, with visits to our favorite restaurants and checking out recommendations of new ones. We cook too, grilling meats from the famous butchers in nearby Monte San Savino and using the freshest vegetables and fruits in season. The traditional pizza oven is a big 'plus.'

We get lots of 'fun' reading done and spend lots of time by the pool. In all, a stay here is the perfect antidote to the rest of the working year.

Our informative House Book describes local restaurants, shopping, events, and places to visit in this beautiful part of Italy. The house itself is stocked with cookbooks, guidebooks, novels and mysteries, dvds and books for all ages.

Varför värden valde detta boende

The location is ideal: the house and grounds offer privacy, peace and quiet, yet easy distance to the most charming and lovely Tuscan towns and sights. This is truly classic Tuscan 'postcard' country: hills and valleys; centuries old cypress trees; winding roads between fields of sunflowers, wheat, olives, and grapevines, leading to medieval and Renaissance villages and spectacular views. It is unspoiled and not flooded with tourists - it is still a place where Italians live and work the land.

It is also the perfect place for developing an idyllic routine of breakfast in the garden, then a drive to explore a nearby town of interest, see the historic and artistic sights and do a bit of shopping, ending just in time to enjoy a leisurely lunch at a terrific trattoria or more elaborate restaurant. Come home for a late afternoon swim, doze by the pool or in the shade, read the book you have wanted to get to, or practice your bocce ball game. Then, over a glass of local wine and some handcrafted cheeses, think about whether to cook dinner with the produce from the garden and what you purchased at the market, maybe make your own pizzas in the outdoor oven, grill some steaks, or to go out for another memorable meal. After dinner, relax some more, maybe with your book, a game of cards, or watching a dvd - or the fireflies - as you sip vin santo and plan your next day.

There is always somewhere new to find and explore: last summer we checked out Umbria and Lake Trasimeno. Our guests are always making great recommendations from their stays - guest have gone fishing, hiking, truffle hunting, biking, horseback riding, to the spas, the outlets, archaeology sites, and discovered restaurants and festivals.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

We have a lifelong local man (1 kilometer away) who takes excellent care of the garden and grounds and is available for any repairs or problems. A very efficient young woman oversees the house cleaning and can also provide delicious Tuscan home cooking for your family or group. Guests have raved about her cooking! The swimming pool is professionally cleaned and serviced every week. And finally, our friendly and bilingual (English-Italian) property manager in nearby Florence will make sure all is well.

We answer questions promptly via email - or telephone or Face-time if you would like to talk. We are attentive to any questions, needs, or concerns. We hope that you will love the area and the house as much as we do.

If you want to experience Tuscany and Tuscan food at its best, this is the spot - whether you want to cook at home or try a different restaurant every day. Our garden provides the herbs and vegetables (in season). Our kitchen has modern appliances, granite and stone counters, a big country table, and a comfortable rustic feel. The dining room table extends to seat 12. Outdoors, there are both a built in brick and stone grill (for grilling Tuscany's famous meats) and a traditional, stone oven for making your own pizzas, plus plenty of space for outdoor dining.
