Villa Podernovo - Self-catering in Tuscany
Località Podernovo 35, 53015 Monticiano, Siena
Tuscany,
Italia
These spacious apartments are set on top of a small hill surrounded by forest, with the hamlet of Monticiano just visible through the trees. They share outdoor seating areas and barbecues as well as a swimming pool lined with sunbeds - the feel is blissfully peaceful and remote.
Each apartment has a private entrance and small kitchen and they are typically Tuscan in style, with old brick floors and wood-beamed ceilings. A barn just opposite has a large dining room and sitting room, and a kitchen that you can use if you're a group; you can arrange for a buffet breakfast too.
A local guide can be booked for walking excursions, and cooking or yoga classes. Walk to Monticiano in about five minutes for a very small supermarket, a pharmacy and a simple restaurant, or drive to San Galgano, 7km away for more choice as well as the ruins of a 13th-century Gothic church, the Abbey of San Galgano.

Local points of interest from Diana Grandi:
Punti d'interesse locali da
Diana Grandi:
- Villa Podernovo is in the Val di Merse regional park south of Siena, halfway between the Crete Senesi and the Maremma.
- Siena is known throughout the world for its Palio horserace and incredible artistic heritage. The uniquely beautiful old town has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All of Tuscany's other art cities are less than two hours away by car.
- Our villa is an ideal base for visiting some of Tuscany's most magical places, including the stunning Val d'Orcia with many beautiful small towns like Pienza, Montalcino, and Montepulciano.
- Visit the wonderful Crete Senesi for the Abbey of Monte Oliveto Maggiore, Rapolano and Petriolo Spas, or the Maremma with its wild landscapes and clear blue sea (roughly 60km away).
- The Abbey of San Galgano and the Hermitage of Montesiepi which preserves the authentic 'Sword in the Stone' are just 7km away. Both are very popular for wedding celebrations, which makes Villa Podernovo a much sought after wedding venue.
