La Poderina

The owner was pleasant and helpful in person. The countryside setting is beautiful, and the house is spacious.

The listing was not clear enough that the pool would be closed during our stay, even though the pool, pool view and outdoor area were major reasons we booked. The pool was closed and covered when I arrived. It was also not clear to us that the owner lives in an apartment above the accommodation, overlooking the patio, garden and pool area. We booked expecting a private “entire villa” experience, so this was not what we expected. We left early and booked alternative accommodation.

Wspaniała przestronna willa z ogromnym basenem zewnętrznym w przepięknym położeniu na wzgórzu z którego rozpościera się zapierający dech w piersi widok. Szczególne podziękowania dla przesympatycznych właścicieli, zawsze służyli pomocą oraz ciekawymi wskazówkami gdzie sobie pojechać żeby zjeść czy zwiedzić. Na pewno tu jeszcze wrócimy!

Pobyt w La Poderina w Toskanii to była absolutna bajka! 🌿🍷🏡 Już od pierwszej chwili zachwyciło nas magiczne położenie obiektu – wśród wzgórz, winnic i cyprysów, z zapierającymi dech w piersiach widokami na toskański krajobraz. Sam dom jest dopracowany w najmniejszym szczególe: stylowe, przytulne wnętrza, cudowny ogród, basen z panoramicznym widokiem oraz atmosfera totalnego Gospodarze są niezwykle serdeczni, pomocni i dbający o każdy detal. Polecili nam też wspaniałe miejscowe winiarnie i urokliwe miasteczka w okolicy. To idealne miejsce na wypoczynek, oraz świetna baza wypadowa do pobliskich miasteczek, albo po prostu chwilę oddechu od codzienności. Z żalem wyjeżdżaliśmy… i już planujemy powrót! 💛🍇

Wszystko w jak najlepszym porządku

The house was spacious and clean, with plenty of space for 8 people. The kitchen was great and the pool was perfect.

Our stay at La Poderina was absolutely fantastic. Great, large pool that was cleaned every day. Lovely outdoor area with a fantastic view, wood-fired pizza oven and grill. Great patio with shade. Inside the house was very nice. Large good rooms with great bathrooms. Very nice with a washing machine. A well-equipped kitchen with a dishwasher. The owner of the house was incredibly hospitable. He arranged for wood for the pizza oven and the grill. We got fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden. And he helped us find restaurants and gave us many good tips for trips we could take around Tuscany. Incredibly hospitable and service minded. We were 6 adults who stayed there for a week. Highly recommend booking this house. We will definitely be back.

The property is absolutely amazing for the dream Tuscan holiday. We were there as a group of friends and couldn’t have asked for more. You have a beautiful pool (the view from there feels like you are in a movie), enough rooms for everyone, a nice big outdoor table, a good equipped kitchen so you can cook for yourself and super friendly hosts which live one floor above you (they don’t get in your way at all and at the same time are there to help if you need). You definitely need a car for the location as it’s quite secluded but that is the beauty of those tuscan villas. You can do some nice day trips from the villa and the good supermarket is around 15 min drive from the villa. All in all a perfect choice for a wonderful Tuscany trip with friends.

The pool was amazing and the highlight of our entire trip. We enjoyed how clean it was daily during our stay and the overall size was perfect for our family. The pool was also private to the surrounding area so we didn't need to worry about any neighbors. The house itself had plenty of rooms for our family including 2.5 baths. Cetona is a great location that's not too far south of Florence and about an hour to both Montepulciano and Siena. We were able to easily cover these two cities for day trips. There are also plenty of supermarkets and grocery stores within a 15-20 minute drive from the house. Communication with our hosts was easy with Whatsapp. They were welcoming, kind and provided us space to their property.

The kitchen had an assortment of pots, pans and utensils. However, it lacked good quality cooking ware such as a spatula and only one very dull knife. We also needed to go out and pick up some paper towels and basic oil, salt and pepper since none were provided for us. This was fine as we planned to shop and cook at the house. One of our showers had issues with a clogged drain during our stay as well that could be easily fixed. Because the house is more remote, cell service wasn't strong and wifi was spotty.
