About this property

Podere Santa Cecilia

Ancient stone house, with three bedrooms, porch and surrounded by a garden and a large park, in the heart of Tuscany.

Podere Santa Cecilia - "The grandparents' house".

On the ground floor of an ancient Tuscan stone house, in the Montagnola Senese area, we offer a large 210m² apartment with traditional fine furnishings, with three bedrooms, 8 beds, two bathrooms, a large living room with fireplace and a large kitchen . On two sides of the house there is a beautiful porch, overlooking the lawn, where you can spend relaxing moments. You can walk in the large park of old oak trees behind the house to the pond. You can immerse yourself in reading or relax on the lawn, in complete solitude and looking up, among the branches of the trees, you will see the profile of the surrounding hills covered with woods. We have ample parking facilities with many parking spaces, one of which is covered. We are easily accessible from the Siena-Florence motorway junction, the house is in the municipality of Casole d’Elsa about 2 km from the small village of Pievescola, where there are shops and restaurants. If you love walking and moving there are many marked paths for walking and hiking and mountain biking. A few km from us there is the possibility of riding courses and horseback riding and also of bicycle rental. An ideal stay for those who love nature and tranquility, sports activities and an exceptional starting point to easily reach some of the most important places of historical and cultural interest in Tuscany such as Siena (30 km), Florence (60 km), San Gimignano (30 km), Monteriggioni (25 km), Volterra (35 km), Castellina in Chianti (32km). Not to mention that in just over an hour's drive you can also get to the sea, on the splendid Maremma coast. Services included: • TV • Refrigerator • Microwave oven • Dishwasher • Washing machine • Wi-Fi • Independent heating • Wood for fireplace

Superb laid-back rural Tuscana
This traditional stone building, porches, and gardens offer a beautiful and comfortable location to explore neighbouring Tuscan towns and countryside. Highly recommended.

Respirer en Val d'Elsa
Jolie maison de famille, au calme, entourée d'un grand terrain qui offre des possibilités agréables en plein air : terrasse, barbecue, four à pain. Nous y étions en automne et sommes restés trop peu de temps pour en profiter. La maison est spacieuse, avec du caractère (meubles anciens, cheminée agréable en automne) mais aurait besoin de quelques améliorations pour être vraiment confortable (électricité un peu juste : éclairages un peu tristounets, le grille pain inutilisable : fait disjoncter tout l'ensemble et et la vaisselle est hétéroclite et en quantité limitée pour le lave-vaisselle en particulier les verres et les couverts). Accueil sympathique et décontracté de Giulia que nous avons fait attendre car la propriété est mal signalée. Pas de caution, d'état des lieux ni de nettoyage facturé. On nous a fait confiance. Dans l'ensemble un bon séjour pour un prix raisonnable pour un groupe de retraités sans exigences de luxe.

Great access to Tuscany
We had a great time and appreciated the helpfulness of the neighbor. Lots of things to see in the area and oh the views driving there are spectacular. Single level, we ate out more than in, beds were comfortable.

Week in Tuscany
Great location for exploring Tuscany, close to Florence and Siena. Lots of interesting places close by. Quite country location, more suited to larger parties but that didn't stop us enjoying this property. Host replied to messages almost instantly. You have full use of the ground floor, the family above are really nice and Max will help with any issues or queries. Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastisch
Ein typisches Landhaus in der Toscana. Unverfälscht mit einem riesigen Gelände. Dort glaubt man in einem Park spazieren zu gehen.Mit einem Teich,Bäumen,Blumen und Pflanzen aller Art. Dort kann man sich so richtig entspannen. Die im oberen Stockwerk lebenden Mieter sind ausgesprochen liebenswerte, ruhige Menschen mit zwei wirklich gut erzogenen Kinder. Es hat richtig Freude gemacht dort drei Wochen zu leben. Wer Aktion haben möchte, ist dort definitiv falsch am Platz.Der nächst größere Ort zum Einkaufen ist 14 km entfernt, ebenso Bars und Restaurants. (Colle di Val d'Elsa) Für Rennradtouren, so wie wir es gemacht haben,idealer Startort in alle Richtungen. Typisch Toscana, unschlagbar gut. Zum Meer etwas weit weg (ca.65/75 km entfernt/immer ca.1,5 Stunden Fahrzeit),aber dies weiß man ja vorher. Aber als Tagesausflug/Halbtagesausflug auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen. Kurz gesagt: 100%-ig empfehlenswert für wirklich Ruhe Suchende. Tipp für den Besitzer: Auch wenn es von der Größe des Garten möglich wäre: Niemals ein Swimmingpool einbauen,es würde das ganze Ambiente zerstören. Vielen,vielen Dank für diese völlig problemlose Bereitstellung und diesen Urlaub. Caterina,Alba,Michele,Kurt

Incredible stay in Tuscany
If you want to have an incredible stay in Tuscany, I strongly recommend you to rent this house! First of all, the host Giulia is really lovely as she gave us many tips and good addresses, which is very useful when you don't know the area. The house is very spacious (210 square meters), comfortable and thanks to its thick walls, we did not suffer the heat of the Tuscan summer. We made homemade pizzas using the traditional oven, the barbecue in the garden made for a great evening of grilling and the surrounding landscape is breathtaking (I recommend you watch the sunrise). Finally, the house is perfectly located as it is only 30 minutes away from San Gimignano, Volterra and Siena, which are incredible places not to be missed in Tuscany. So go for it!

Pace e relax
La casa è immersa in un boschetto lontana da tutto. Pace e solo il rumore dei grilli. Siamo stati lì con i nostri figli ed eravamo in 8. Camere e spazi abbondanti per tutti. Abbiamo grigliato e fatto la pizza nel forno in pietra. I bimbi hanno avuto spazi per montare piscine gonfiabili e giocare in libertà perché tutto anche se molto grande è recintato. Nei dintorni abbiamo visitato paesini incantevoli e fatto il bagno in fiumi e torrenti bellissimi senza mai trovare troppo caos. Per il resto casa molto caratteristica e tutto conforme a quanto scritto nella descrizione. Giulia carinissima nei nostri confronti, ci ha dato consigli, ed è stata molto disponibile nei confronti delle nostre necessità (arrivo e partenza fuori orario, ed altro) Grazie per l'ospitalità e la gentilezza Consigliatissimo
