About this property

Relax in the gorgeous garden with great views, amazing sunsets & unspoilt nature

Our holiday apartment 'Albegna'combines a modern interior with traditional elements. High ceilings and large windows flood the charming holiday apartment with light. The centrepiece is a genuine 'cucina in muratura' with a traditional stone sink and all the utensils you need to prepare delicious Tuscan dishes. For our smaller guests, we'll be happy to provide you with a cot and a highchair.

When the double doors of the apartment open towards the garden, you really know that you've arrived at your holiday destination. The 21 square metre covered terrace offers comfortable seating and plenty of space for an 'al fresco' meal - hot from the 'Weber' barbecue. The fantastic view stretches westwards over the Albegna valley and the nearby hills of the Maremma.

Albegna also has access to a tended private garden - a great place to while away lazy summer afternoons. At night the milky way stretches over the property and it's fun to see who can spot the most shooting stars.

Podere Sant'Angelo is special for its peaceful, tranquil location, great views, sunsets and lovely mediterranean garden.

Visit the
- hot springs at Saturnia
- Etruscan remains around Pitigliano
- UNESCO heritage landscapes of the Val d'Orcia
- hilltop towns of Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano
- unspoilt beaches of the Parco Maremma

Your host will welcome you in English, German, French or Italian and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Escape the stresses and strains of everyday life and experience Tuscany in its most original form.

Discover classic Tuscany: San Gimignano, Siena and Florence are within easy reach, as are the villages of Montalcino, Montepulciano and Pienza. Day trips to Rome are also possible by train from Grosseto.

Good to know: Podere Sant'Angelo is off the regular road network. You reach the holiday home after three kilometres on a well-maintained 'strada bianca' (gravel road).

Natur pur
Wenn ich ehrlich sein soll, weiß ich garnicht, wo ich anfangen soll. Ich starte mal mit der Anreise. Im Vergleich zur nördlichen Toskana sind die Straßen in der südlichen Toskana in einem schlechteren Zustand, so dass man für die Fahrten dort immer etwas mehr Zeit einplanen muss. Die Fahrt von Grosseto bis zum Podere Sant'Angelo dauerte deshalb auch mehr als eine Stunde.

Ein Traum in der Toskana
Wir haben eine wunderbar erholsame Woche in einem traumhaft schönen Apartment mit viel Ruhe und tollen Sonnenuntergängen verbracht. Die Anfahrt ist ein bisschen holperig, aber danach wird man für alles entschädigt. Graham, der Vermieter, hat uns ganz nett empfangen und für alles gesorgt, damit wir einen tollen Aufenthalt hatten. Das Apartment ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Hochwertige Möbel, ein bequemes Bett und eine Dusche mit Power waren prima. Auch in der Küche findet man alles, um gut kochen zu können. Das Highlight dieses Apartments ist aber die wunderschöne und sehr gemütlich ausgestattete Terrasse mit Blick in die Toskana, die den Aufenthalt einfach unvergesslich macht. Wir haben dort viele schöne Sonnenuntergänge genossen, uns über die intakte Natur gefreut, Hase und Fuchs sind dort auch Zuhause und besonders schön war auch die unendliche Stille, mal dem lauten Alltag zu entfliehen. Wir danken Graham für die schöne Woche und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Urlaub in diesem wunderschönen und ruhigen Apartment. Bis dahin alles Gute! Antje und Hannes

Un endroit parfait pour se reposer
Les gîtes sont très agréables et confortables. Ils sont bien équipés, il manque juste une râpe à fromage pour le parmigiano, on est en Italie ! La vue sur les collines Toscanes depuis la terrasse est magnifique surtout au couché du soleil. Les villages aux alentours sont charmants et pittoresques. Le site est très calme et parfait pour se reposer. Graham, le propriétaire est très sympathique et nous a très bien accueilli. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et nous recommanderons vivement ce petit havre de paix dans le sud de la Toscane.

Wohlfühl-Urlaub
Wir verbrachten zwei erholsame Wochen an diesem wunderschönen Fleckchen Erde an dem sich Fuchs und Hase gute Nacht sagen .... und natürlich Schafe. Die Ferienwohnung ist zweckmäßig und gemütlich eingerichtet. Die überdachte Terrasse, mit Esstisch und gemütlicher Sitzgelegenheit, der ideale Ort um zu Frühstücken, Faulenzen oder Sonnenuntergänge zu betrachten. Der Ort Roccalbegna, ca. 6 km von Podere Sant'Angelo entfernt, bietet einen Metzger, zwei Lebensmittelläden, eine Bar, eine Pizzeria (sehr zu empfehlen) und einen Blick ins toskanische Leben bei Dorffesten und am Wochenende wenn sich alle am Marktplatz treffen. Unser regelmäßiges Ziel in Roccalbegna war Albegna, ein Bergbächlein bei dem man gemütlich die Beine ins kühle Nass baumeln lassen kann, sehr zur Freude unserer Hündin. Wir fühlten uns bei Graham sehr wohl und gut aufgehoben, wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder. Petra, Tobi und Lissi (Hündin)

Aunenthalt Roccalbegna Mai 2016
Wir waren vier Tage in Roccalbegna in Podere Sant'Angelo auf unsere Rundreise durch Italien und haben den Aufenthalt hier genossen. Die letzten paar Kilometer bis zur Villa sind ein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig, man wird aber sofort entschädigt durch herrliche Lage. Ruhe, Stille, unterbrochene nur durch Vogelgesang , wunderschöne Natur, wir haben auch jede Menge Tiere in der freien Natur hier gesehen, herrliche Abende mit atemberaubenden Sonnenuntergängen - wir haben das geliebt. Und haben von hier aus zahlreiche Ausflüge nach Chianti, Montepulciano und Maremma unternommen. Graham Bradford mit seiner freundlichen, zuvorkommenden und zugleich unaufrindglichen Art war ein perfekter Gastgeber. Seine Tipps und Epfehlungen waren sehr hilfsreich, der Empfang sehr herzlich. Alle unsere Wünsche wurden sofort erfüllt, wir durften alles nutzen, grillen, Kräuter für unsere Küche verwenden. Wir bedanken uns herzlich auf diesem Wege noch mal bei Graham und können das weiter sehr empfehlen

Delightful host, delightful place
The property we stayed in was excellent value for money: clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished. The views from the house were beautiful and the garden well tended. The owner was extremely welcoming and helpful with regards to the house itself and visiting the surrounding areas of interest. Although the location was off the beaten track, the advantages of being immersed in an area of such outstanding beauty more than made up for this. Recommended restaurants: La Foce, for exquisitely cooked fresh fish; La Grotta, for a delicious plate of locally produced cheeses and meats.

Wonderful week with stunning sunsets
Our apartment was very clean and well organised with a beautiful porticato and stunning views across the valley. Graham was there to greet us and gave us some fantastic suggestions of places to eat and interesting days out. We particularly enjoyed Niki de Saint Phalle's Tarot Garden. We also saw some impressive shooting stars. Overall, we had a great stay and would thoroughly recommend to anyone seeking a relaxing holiday in the Tuscan countryside.

All you need is present, exept maybe a combi microwave. It's a place to come back again. With beautiful old villages in the neighbourhood. An absolut must if you like a restful holiday.

This is a wonderful spot. If you want a quiet, secluded place, devoid of tourists; fabulous vistas, great walks, quick rides to the charming hilltop towns - look no further. Graham is a very kind and helpful host - he even helped us to change a flat tire. The property has all we needed, is clean and well maintained.

Wonderful relaxing week in stunning location
After a long drive, we were warmly welcomed by Graham, the owner who did everything he could to make our stay memorable. Our apartment was newly restored in the old Tuscan style. Extremely comfortable, especially the bed! Days spent touring unspoilt countryside and ancient villages or walking near the apartment, evenings spent sitting with a glass of wine on the terrace in the glorious garden and watching the sun go down over the mountains. Great restaurants nearby - try the fried courgette flowers! A wonderful, restorative week.

Lovely villa in a quiet part of Tuscany
We had a really lovely few days in Albegna, despite this year's rather unseasonal weather. The apartment is newly and very tastefully converted to provide spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable accommodation for two. Graham is the perfect host, very knowledgeable about the local area, helpful without being intrusive if you want to be left to your own devices. Roccalbegna, a short drive or a longer walk away (if it's not too hot) has a good restaurant, a couple of small shops and an excellent butcher. Larger towns nearby have supermarkets - you could do like we did and stock up on the drive in. It's quite a way to the major sites, but Arezzo and Orvieto are 3 star sites within a 2 hour drive and the coast near Grosseto is beautiful (Graham can recommend the best spots). Or you could just sit on the patio, catch up on your holiday reading, soak up the beautiful scenery and let nature come to you (don't forget to pack your binoculars).

A paradise of tranquility - only sound of birds
Highly recommendable ! The Albegna-appartment is very well equipped and recently restored . A large bedroom and excellent terras with a view on the surrounding hills ! The owner is a charming host, eager to make you at ease ! Only (once more) a tip: put a sign of the Podero at the road - for we missed the entrance. The "unmade road" to reach the location is a challenge - but not really a problem !

Graham's gorgeous Tuscan holiday aprtments
Graham's gorgeous holiday apartments restored in traditional Tuscan style and beautifully furnished are in the heart of the Maremma (area of Tuscany) surrounded by breathtaking scenery. I went on lovely gorse-scented walks roundabout, trying to spot the local wildlife - deer, eagles, porcupines then sat on the terrace watching the sun go down over the hills. 12th-century villages, vineyards and hot springs a short drive away. Extememly restorative. The only drawback was the bed was so comfortable that I slept too long in the morning!

Lovely accommodation in a very beautiful area.
Our early spring stay in 'Albegna' at Podere Sant'Angelo is sadly already over. Albegna is beautifully furnished and extremely comfortable.The tuscan style kitchen is very well equipped and the bathroom is pristine with a gorgeous shower. Now back at home I remember sitting on the 'porticato' with a glass of Montecucco wine watching the sun set - true bliss! Even in early spring the lovely garden was full of flowers and aromatic herbs.There are wonderful views of the valley from Monte Labbro down to the sea and the Argentario peninsular. We saw a huge eagle fly along the valley almost every day. The owner, Graham, is very helpful and friendly and gave us lots of tips on what to do and places to eat. We're already looking forward to another visit to this beautiful unspoilt part of Tuscany.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Bradford

Host profile image
I grew up in the north west of England. After university studies in Scotland I left the UK to live and work in many different countries.
I've been enjoying life here at Podere Sant'Angelo now for over ten years and enjoy sharing my experiences of Maremma, where to eat and lovely places to visit, with guests.

Why they chose this property

Podere Sant'Angelo has wonderful views, and, as it faces west, enjoys amazing sunsets. The peace and quiet here have to be experienced to be believed and help all guests to relax and take on the slowed-down rhythms of the area. We're hidden away 700m high in the maremma hills, even during the hottest summer days we enjoy cool summer evenings.

What makes this property unique

This part of Tuscany is still off the regular tourist trail and offers a glimpse into life in this wilder, more remote part of Tuscany. The small family run trattorie round about offer delicious home made cooking at very reasonable prices. The countryside isn't heavily farmed and there's an amazing variety of butterflies and insects in general to be seen here, the praying mantis is a favourite, as are the gekkoes that dart around the property in the summer months. There's no light pollution round here, guests often remark on the clarity of the night skies and the wonder of the Milky Way that stretches over the main house.
