Guest Reviews
- Cortina (10/5): - Wie schon oft beschrieben: alles super
- Igor (9/5): -
- Mark (9/5): - A large property with well manicured grounds and a wonderful heated pool. The apartment was a loft apartment that was clean and comfortable with regular daily house cleaning. The included breakfast was in the modern dining area of the winery and was outstanding with lots of options. Check in and check out was easy and the service was excellent. A little out of the way if you are exploring a lot of the region but an excellent place to relax and enjoy at.
- Ludovica (10/5): Extremely pleasant weekend stay, highly recommended! - Beautiful property, scenic surroundings, spacious and clean room and with very kind and available staff. Great breakfast with homemade and local products. Everything perfect!
- Ola (10/5): - Polecamy :) cudne miejsce Polecamy :) cudne miejsce
- Andy Peter (10/5): - Location, ambiance, staff, breakfasts, house winery wines, warm pool with valley views.
- Matthias (9/5): -
- BARBARA (10/5): Un soggiorno da 10 - Tutto. Posto meraviglioso. Unico difettoso il parcheggio senza tettoia. Per il resto è un posto da sogno. Una tettoia al parcheggio per creare parcheggi all'ombra.
- iris (10/5): - גן עדן של ממש וואו פשוט וואו אין מילים שיכולות לתאר את החוויה
- Kaja (10/5): -
- Barbara (10/5): Wunderbarer Aufenthalt in Traumlage - Traumhafte Lage , sehr nettes Personal,sehr gutes Frühstück , sehr gepflegte Anlage
- Fritz (10/5): Wir kommen wieder - Das Frühstück hervorragend mit stets frisch zubereiteten Mehlspeisen und Broten. Immer frische Erdbeeren und sehr guter Obstsalat. Perfekt!!
- Analu (10/5): Fantastic Tuscan retreat! - Everything! The place is magnificent!
We stayed at the 2bedroom accommodation and it was very spacious, comfortable, stocked kitchen, 2 bathrooms, spacious living room and outdoor table, and the private backyard with an amazing sunset was the cherry on top!
The swimming pool was very nice. The wind could feel a bit chilly but it was great fun for our kids and ourselves at the end of April. Lovely property to walk around. Breakfast and wine selection available were great!
The restaurant tips were great and we didn’t need to go far for really good food. The whole team working at the hotel were amazing. Very kind, helpful and organized.
The views all around the property is just breathtaking! Not so much soundproof to the room next to ours.
- Othmar (9/5): - Gepflegte Anlage und die Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter Für diese Jahreszeit waren die Räumlichkeiten zu kühl. Die Nassen Handtücher im Bad wurden nicht trocken
- Nicoleta (10/5): Perfection! The perfect holiday🌞 - I loved everything about this place. The landscape was amazing, the garden, the heated pool (!!!), the delicious breakfast. I loved also that we had a private apartment of 3 bedrooms just for us!
- ELENA (10/5): Отель выше всех похвал. Отдыхали с дочерью 7 лет. И мы, и она очень довольны. Порадовал открытый бассейн с подогревом, в - Абсолютно всё понравилось - территория, номер, чистота, супер-приятный персонал, завтраки и возможность заказать доставку обеда в номер. Экскурсия на винодельню с дегустацией вина стала одним из ярчайших моментов нашего путешествия. -
- nicola (10/5): We had a truly wonderful time. Plus: incredible value for money - Style, location, staff, apartment, pool, everything! Nothing
- mark (9/5): Peaceful and convenient for day trips to Florence, Siena, Pisa, Livorno and for 3 Bocelli concerts! - Excellent quality and variety, a welcome start to each day. Inside our apt, climbing the alternating tread stair was tricky, especially at night. And the shower stall was a bit to compact...
- Adrian (10/5): Idealne wakacje :) - Przepiękny widok, przestrzeń, pyszne wino i śniadania
- Tibor (10/5): -
- Linna (10/5): -
- Nikolopoulou (10/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): This was absolutely a wonderful resort. Can’t say enough about the staff, property & apartments. - Incredible breakfast buffet. One of the best I have had. The manager of the property, Leonardo was fantastic. Truly just a top run resort in every way. I should have stayed longer! Next time.
- Péter Pál (10/5): -
- Stefanie (10/5): -
- Marcel (10/5): - Ein wunderschönes Objekt in traumhafter Umgebung.
Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Der beheizte Pool ist das absolute Highlight gewesen.
- Mihael (10/5): - Bazen, osoblje, EV punjenje, pogled, jablani, ugođaj Šteta što nema večere u objektu
- larry (10/5): Excellent place to relax in in Tuscany - Breakfast was excellent, timely and high quality. Staff were very friendly and they made great coffees for us every morning. The cleaning staff were good to deal with. Sara and her team helped us a lot as this was our first time in the area.
Leonardo was helpful as was the young lady who guided us through our wine tasting. Because we were delayed we arrived very late and had a difficult time finding the site. Perhaps some better quality signage especially on the gravel road into the property. We had trouble with the locks (not easy to lock), some of our liquids in the bathroom had not been refilled. Also the safe was not working.
- Thiru Thurairajah (9/5): Wir haben uns super erholt - Wir wurden super von Leonardo empfangen und er hat uns alles erklärt, wie es funktioniert. Die Umgebung war sehr schön und ruhig. Das Küsschen Equipment braucht ein Update. Das Bett war nicht so bequem, und in der Küche gab es kein scharfes Messer kein richtiger Pastatopf. Die Pfanne war zu klein. Man konnte nicht so gut kochen mit dem Equipment.
- Eric (6/5): - Ambiente, Lage und Pool Frühstücksvielfalt
- Lisa (10/5): Fantastic incredible stay in Tuscany. You must go to Casale Podernovo - This resort was off the charts excellent! The breakfast buffet incredible, the wine tour was beautiful, the wines are excellent- and I am a Napa wine enthusiast. Our 3 bedroom apartment was beautiful and very large. We had everything we needed. The pool was divine and all the grounds on the property are gorgeous. The staff, the front office gentleman Leo all the best. I would come back many times. I don’t know how I could improve on this experience. They just have the right concept.
- Jessica (8/5): It was nice - staff were wonderful - Location, spacious rooms No restaurant available for lunch or dinner onsite. Very few locally and even then they were closed most of the time.
- Natalie (10/5): Amazing, we will be back! - The property was absolutely stunning! Truly a Tuscan experience. The location was great!
- Jim (10/5): Our stay was very relaxing.perfect! - The property was beautiful! Beautiful views and sunsets.
- Henning (9/5): super - super Lage
- Katie (10/5): - Beautiful property and grounds
Amazing location
Friendly and helpful staff
Lovely breakfast provided each day
- Jan (10/5): - Toskánská pohádka, pokud hledáte klid a odpočinek tak je to to správné místo. Bazén krásně čistý, apartmány zařízené přesně v tom stylu co jsem si představovala, dřevěný nábytek, úklid každý den. Na snídani nic nechybělo a západ slunce přímo z terasy byl nezapomenutelný. Opravdu udržované a klidné místo. Nic, snad jen hledání restaurace v okolí, protože zde nebyla otevřena na večeři.
- Nina (10/5): -
- James (10/5): The perfect Tuscan escape, made every problem fade to insignificance. - We loved how typically Tuscan it felt, laid back, quiet and beautiful views. The accommodation was stunning and without a fault. We loved everything.
- Nelson (9/5): -
- Lukas (10/5): -
- Lisa (10/5): - Wir waren vor 7 Jahren hier und nun wieder und es ist immernoch, einfach Traumhaft♡
Diese idyllische Lage ist einfach perfekt zum Entspannen, die tolle Anlage und Wiesen auch für Kinder so schön.
Die Apartments sind gemütlich und schön eingerichtet.
Das Personal von Housekeeping über Rezeption und Küche herzlich.
Wir kommen definitiv wieder! In der Vergangenheit hatte das Restaurant abends geöffnet. Ich finde es nicht schlimm, dass es das nicht mehr gibt-ABER es gab 1×/Woche Pizzaabend, eine lange Tafel und alle Gäste sassen zusammen-total schön. Das fehlte uns! Und da der Ofen vorhanden, könnte man das und ebenso einen Grillabend unkompliziert ohne viel Aufwand anbieten!
- Elvira (10/5): -
- Mathis (8/5): -
- Norbert (8/5): -
- Gábor (9/5): we liked it! :) - location, sorroundings, pool, breakfast, staff, quiet place the appartment wasn’t brand new, although it was clean and had everything we needed :)
- Magda (8/5): Komfortowy apartament z kuchnią - Położenie na wzgórzu, basen, altana ogrodowa, leżaki i parasole dla każdego apartamentu. Winnica z dobrymi winami, które można zakupić. Komfortowe apartamenty. Mechanizm zamka od drzwi był nieco wymagający. Dużo komarów i gryzących much.
- Sebastian (10/5): -
- Nicolai (9/5): -
- Frédéric (8/5): parfait -
- ALEXANDRE (10/5): Un lieu parfait pour explorer cette partie de la Toscane - Petit-déjeuner exceptionnel
- Klaus (9/5): Schönes, ruhig gelegenes Weingut im Zentrum der Toskana - Mitarbeiter sehr zuvorkommend und freundlich
Das Frühstück war sehr gut, nicht so viel Vielfältig, aber dafür beste Qualität. Schöner großer Pool mit eigenen Liegeplatz, auch neben dem Zimmer eigener Pavillon.Sehr schöne große Zimmer oder Wohnungen Außerhalb der Öffnungszeiten keine Ansprechperson vor Ort.
- Flo (9/5): Schöne Anlage, Top Ferienhaus mit Potenzial nach oben (lohnt sich zu lesen) - + mehr als genug Parkplätze vorhanden
+ Klimaanlage im Zimmer läuft einwandfrei
+ Frühstück als Buffet angerichtet und völlig ausreichend
+ Personal sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit
+ gute Ausgangslage für Ausflüge in der Region bzw größere Städte
+ Einkaufsmöglichkeiten mit Auto gut zu erreichen (10-15 min entfernt)
+ Außenanlage sehr gepflegt
+ Aussicht (egal wo man sich befindet)
+ Zwei Fahrräder zum ausleihen vorhanden
+ Tägliche Reinigung
+ Bei bedarf täglich frische Handtücher
+ "Weinkeller"-Tour mit anschließender verkostung der Weine + Essen
+ Grillmöglichkeit (mehrere Holzkohlegrills, mit Kohle, vorhanden)
Zum Positiven:
Unser Navi, führte uns an die Kreuzung, die zu Casale Podernovo führt. Über einen Schotterweg (verstehe hier einige Aussagen NICHT, dass er schlecht sei) erreicht man nach ca. 800m die Anlage. An einem großzügigen Parkplatz kann geparkt werden. Check-IN völlig problemlos! Es wird fließend Englisch gesprochen.
Wir befanden uns im Ferienhaus "Melegrano". Eine großzügige Wohnung, mit Top Aussicht, kleiner Küchenzeile und bequemen Betten, überraschte uns sehr Positiv!
Tägliche Reinigung der Wohnung, mit Handtuchtausch. Sehr gepflegte Garten/Außenanlage und auch der Pool bereich ist sauber und gepflegt.
Was wir jedem empfehlen können: Autan mitnehmen und Räucherkreiße gegen Mosquitos kaufen, bzw. mitbringen, sonst wird man buchstäblich gefressen.
Ideen von unserer Seite:
-> Abendessen anbieten: Es würde bestimmt anklang finden, wenn es auch ein Abendessen geben würde. Das müsste auch nicht Täglich sein, sondern vielleicht Freitag + Samstag oder,oder,oder. Mit verbindlicher Morgendlicher Anmeldung bestimmt gut umsetzbar.
->Altersgrenze: Dazu komme ich in unserem "Negativen" teil näher darauf ein. - es fehlen Haken im Badezimmer um Handtücher aufzuhängen
- ein kleines Regal im Bad wäre auch nicht schlecht (ist vom Platz möglich)
- Grundausstattung im Ferienhaus (Gläßer,Messer,Teller,...) vorhanden, aber verbesserungswürdig
- WLAN eher schlecht als recht
- "Fremde" Leute ... "Freunde" von Gästen auf Anlage/Pool/bei Frühstück
Zum Negativen bzw. zu den Verbesserungspunkten:
Unserer Ansicht nach, aber auch schon anderen Bewertungen zu urteilen, fehlt es an Haken, oder einfach der Möglichkeit, Handtücher, Badehose oder,oder,oder aufzuhängen. Da kann bestimmt noch nachgebessert werden. Es gibt die Möglichkeit, aber für zwei Personen waren es viel zu wenig möglichkeiten. Außerdem wäre ein kleiner Schrank, gegenüber von der Dusche, für diverse Utensilien auch von vorteil.
Die Grundausstattung in der Ferienwohnung ist gut, aber zwei,drei schärfere Messer und Schneidebretter wären nicht schlecht.
Wir befinden uns im Urlaub und verzichten weitestgehend auf unsere Handys, aber wenn man dann doch mal schauen möchte, bzw sich Informieren möchte, wann ein Restaurant aufmacht, oder wie lange ich nach Pisa,Florenz,.... brauche, dauert es mit dem vorhandenen WLAN sehr sehr lange bis garnicht.
Was uns auch aufgefallen ist, dass "Fremde,Freund" von Familien, mit dem Auto in die Anlage gekommen sind, dort gefrühstückt haben und im pool waren. Es ist nur eine Vermutung von uns, aber aufgrund dessen, dass es sich hier um keinen 1000 Menschen-Bunker handelt, weiß/"kennt" man die Leute, die dort übernachten, vor allem wenn man zwei Wochen dort ist. Gestört hat es uns im Prinzip nicht und es ist auch eine Angelegenheit des Gastgebers, komisch war es trotzdem.
Zum Thema Altersgrenze/Lautstärke am Pool, Ich betone hier ausdrücklich: wir haben nichts gegen Familien mit Kindern! Uns freut es, wenn Kinder Spaß haben!
- Harriet (10/5): -
- Jonas (10/5): - Le cadre magnifique perché dans les hauteurs de Terricciola offre tout le confort et la sérénité dont on a besoin en vacances.
Nos premières vacances avec un bébé se sont merveilleusement bien déroulées et nous avons apprécié la tranquillité de l’endroit. Un vrai moment d’évasion et de plaisir pour nous. Je recommande vivement cet endroit.
Le personnel était également très aimable et a pu répondre à toutes nos demandes. Nous remercions Leo pour son accueil, toutes les serveuses pour leurs délicieux cappuccino le matin et les intendantes qui ont laissé notre chambre dans un parfait état après chaque passage.
- Gary (10/5): It was truly a memorable experience! - Leonardo was a fantastic host, and the restaurant & cleaning staff were wonderful. The breakfast buffet was delightful, and a pleasant surprise. The location was perfect, since we attended both concerts at Teatro del Silenzio ! N/A

- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andreea (4/5): Disappointing - Location was beautiful and grounds were beautiful. No a/c upon arrival, my husband complained and the lady essentially told us we can leave we want. Lady at breakfast was also extremely rudex, we traveled with other familes and the babies were making a mess as we were eating the cook from the back came and scolded us for the baby theowing something on the floor. We were going to clean it up but we were all in the middle of eating, she was rude again the next morning. Its hard as is traveling with babies a little compassion goes a long way.
- Tracey (9/5): Superb -
- Stefan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Filip (10/5): Amazing place!!! - Picturesque surroundings!! Beautiful swimming pool with a view of Terricola hills. Charming apartments.
Very good breakfast - lots of options available, good bread, delicious cheese. Even our 10 month old daughter enjoyed the breakfast! Very good wines. WiFi could be better. It wasn’t working in the evenings, or was really slow. Also, the loft apartments are very dark.
- Joanna (10/5): Perfect Tuscan retreat with exceptional service - - Absolutely stunning location surrounded by peaceful nature and beautiful scenery
- Exceptional staff who were incredibly friendly and attentive throughout our stay

A truly memorable stay in Tuscany. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with top-notch service and stunning surroundings.
- Martin (10/5): A Hidden Gem Among the Vineyards – A Flawless Tuscan Experience - As a seasoned traveler who has high standards for accommodations, I can confidently say that staying at Podernovo was one of the best experiences I've had in Tuscany.
Set in a peaceful landscape amongst vineyards, this beautiful resort offers more than just accommodation - it's a complete sensory escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Situated on a private driveway with ample parking, it feels completely private. It consists of a beautifully renovated villa and several other buildings with apartments, directly surrounded by picturesque vineyards. It also includes a winery owned by the Lunelli family, which gives the whole place an authentic and unique atmosphere.
From the first moment we were charmed by the attitude of the staff. Leonardo and the Czech speaking lady on the team were extremely helpful, kind and professional. They were available at any time, with a smile and willingness to help with anything - creating a welcoming, almost family-like environment while maintaining a high level of service.
Our apartment was spacious, clean, fragrant, perfectly equipped (including kitchen facilities) and cleaned daily. The beds were comfortable and the whole place felt harmonious and peaceful.
Every morning we were treated to a sumptuous breakfast consisting exclusively of fresh local Italian produce - sweet and savoury dishes, fruit, vegetables, quality regional ingredients... all fresh and tasty. There was also excellent coffee.The whole stay was marked by attention to detail - whether in the décor, service or ambience. The grounds include a very nice pool with a beautiful view of the countryside, perfect for relaxing.
Casale Podernovo is a place where you can slow down for a while, recharge your batteries and experience the true Tuscan atmosphere. It combines quality, tranquility, privacy and authenticity in perfect harmony. I recommend it to anyone looking for accommodation with soul, attention to detail and a family atmosphere. that we couldn't stay longer as we were travelling to the south of Italy :)

- Pal (10/5): Exceptional - The location was enchanting — a beautiful and peaceful accommodation offering delicious food and high-quality wine.
- Laura (9/5): Superb -
- Ion (10/5): Unforgettable experience in Tuscany - Breathtaking location. The entire area of the hotel was packed with beautiful views, well-kept green area, heated pool (end of April), delicious breakfast with local specialties, fresh fruits, pastries, cheese selection…. We were welcomed with a nice bottle of regional wine and fresh flowers. The rooms are tastefully furnished with comfortable beds, charming wooden ceiling. We had a huge garden with the most amazing view where we could enjoy our dinner. Our children (5+7) loved their vacation and enjoyed the pool to the fullest. I want to point out the quiet atmosphere in the middle of the amazing nature of Italy. There is nothing that I didn’t like about the property. You just have to keep in mind that besides their fantastic breakfast they only offer cold meals, which you have to order in advance. Or you cook on your own when you want to avoid driving to restaurants by car outside of the territory. The kitchen is fully equipped and has a huge fridge with freezer.
- Ana (9/5): Beautiful place with lots of style. Clean, comfy and soooo peaceful. - Practically everything. The location is like from a movie, secluded, peaceful and beautiful. Nothing special, maybe we just missed a possibility of meals (at least dinner), but we were there off-season, so maybe that's the reason.
- Eran (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place in beautiful location.
Great breakfast.
Great bbq facility.

- Petr (10/5): Everything was amazing, apartment was clean and nice, very nice stuff -
- Tereza (10/5): If I'm lucky, I'll definitely come back. - Absolutely amazing. We had such a good time! The staff, the services, the local wine tasting on site, the lovely swimming pool, the free bike hire, the really good and tasty breakfast, everything was perfect. Nothing to complain about. You are surrounded by olive trees and fields with a grapevine, this area is really ideal for people who want a break to recharge and relax.
Our apartment was clean and tidy and we were given a local vine and fresh flowers to welcome us. If I'm lucky, I'll definitely come back. Unfortunately, during our stay there was a large family with about 10 small children who occupied the swimming pool every day. They were loud and played with toys that they left inside the pool, even the children did not pay whit that. It was not very respectful to the other adults guests who only came to the pool when the large family was leaving, in the late hours. Perhaps it would be helpful if there were more hotel staff who could come to the pool several times a day just to check on it. Especially if you come to the hotel for the peace and quiet enviroment of Toscany.
- Lucy (10/5): Ideal place to relax, get a flavour of Tuscany and visit Florence etc. - Stunning, quintessentially Tuscan setting. Attractive apartments, helpful staff, lovely pool, delicious buffet breakfast and enjoyable wine tour and tasting experience. All that we wished for and more.
- Maria (10/5): Perfect place for relaxing - The staff were super kind and friendly.
The breakfast was outstanding.
There were two cuddly cats that came to visit us every day.
The pool was very nice and had a beautiful view of the countryside.
The kitchen with a gas stove for cooking. The air conditioning could have been a bit stronger. we were there on super hot days and it was ok but we personally would have liked a bit lower temperature.
The kitchen was equipped but the knives were not very sharp. We bought our own to be able to cook.
- Jakub (9/5): Superb - Location was so lovely, nice swimming pool, own gazebo, few available BBQs to borrow. Apartment was very spacious. Nice staff and great wine. Breakfast was the worst we had on our trip while we stayed at 4 different accommodations. They really could reconsider what to serve. The bathroom could use some refresh.
- Istvan (10/5): Very nice - Every part Noisy Garden
- H (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely loved the property!! Very Tuscan and charming.

- Derval (10/5): A peaceful place, with lovely relaxed atmosphere and stunning views all around - A lovely Breakfast. The wine produced at Casale Podernovo and the wine tour were very enjoyable. Picked some lovely basil and salad leaves to enjoy with our Bbq. Bbq facilities were great.
- Chris (9/5): Superb - Away from the crowds and in the middle of the Tuscan landscape :)
- Roxana (10/5): Exceptional - Just perfect
- Ivana (10/5): Perfect - The whole place is amazing. They payed attention to smallest details. I would recommend it to everyone, it is authentic Tuscany.
- Anonymous (7/5): Underwhelming and not a good impression of agriturismo potential. - The room size was an advertised. There should have been a map given to us noting restaurant locations and menu chooses as well as contact information. Our air conditioning was not functioning upon arrival and the rooms were very stuffy. The shower was extremely small but the water pressure was excellent. The worst part was the guests above our unit had small children and disrupted out peace and comfort from 0700-2300 with running, screaming, and furniture dragging throughout those hours.
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional - What a beautiful location! We had the 6p appartment which had very large rooms and a bathroom for each bedroom which was perfect. The location itself was beautiful with the Cypres trees and views over the vineyards. The swimming pool was great with a magnificent sunset view (although a lot of mosquitos at the pool area). We also did the tour and tasting which was really good and the wines are great. We joined the dinner twice at the location, it's a fixed menu but at a good price including wine you leave very full. We had the Tuscan dinner with Bocelli playing in the background and then they mentioned "if you need more steak just ask" so we eat our belly full of great steak that evening! And the second dinner was the pasta party with great pasta's and lasagna, we could eat forever, a real treat and the staff was amazingly friendly. A great place for a real Tuscan experience! The outside lights don't turn off at night, so if you want a fresh breeze in your room at night you will light up the whole room.
- Avner (8/5): Very good - The view is amazing Breakfast is not very limited and the bread and cakes were not fresh.
