About this property

Beautiful restored farmhouse with swimming pool in the quiet of the Sienese hills.

"Podere Poggiolo" is located on a green Tuscan hill on which it "rests" and to which it therefore owes its name. It is just outside the medieval village of Trequanda, a pretty village overlooking the Sienese hills and from which you can admire Siena in the distance. Of this place, my parents - both non-Tuscan - fell in love 35 years ago and for this reason they transformed this ancient cottage into the country house of our childhood. Today none of us live in Tuscany anymore, but Podere Poggiolo continues to be a meeting point and, at the same time, it has become a "holiday home".

It is open to all those who want to stay in a place where you can breathe a story, to those who are not afraid to leave home computers and television to enjoy the company of those around them, listen to the music of the crickets in the evening and be enchanted under the sky of Trequanda, nowhere else so clear and full of stars.

It has been recently renovated, but the typical warmth of the Tuscan farmhouse with its exposed wooden beams and ancient terracotta throughout has remained intact. The family furniture and the objects that make up the furnishings tell the rest of the history of this place.
There is a green space with plants and flowers and a nice table where you can sit outside, a barbecue where you can prepare a nice Chianina to taste with excellent local wine and oil.
For everyone, the swimming pool is open from June and September and your 4-legged friends are absolutely welcome!

Tuscan Country Home
My wife and I really enjoyed our 5 day stay in this Tuscan Farm House. Beautiful home with pool in the Tuscan countryside. Close to Sienna and Montepulciano. We took an amazing cooking class nearby and visited plenty of nearby wineries. The home has some amazing features including a glass floor and spiral staircase.

Super Unterkunft, hervorragende Lage in der südlichen Toskana
Wir haben eine traumhafte Woche Ende Oktober in diesem typischen, sehr individuell und charmant eingerichteten historischen toskanischen Haus mit einem großen Garten verbracht. 4 Erwachsene (2 Paare) und ein Kind können es sich richtig gemütlich machen. Die Bäder sind toll eingerichtet - eines mit riesiger Wanne, Regendusche und Whirlpool. Die Küche ist bestens ausgestattet - Töpfe, Geschirr, Bestecke und Küchenwerkzeuge bis hin zu Bimbi (so heißt der Thermomix auf Italienisch) ist alles vorhanden. Es gibt mehrere Essplätze - vom kleinen Küchentisch über einen großen Tisch in der verglasten Veranda und einem Pavillon im Garten bis hin zur Tafel im Hauptraum. Die Bibliothek im obersten Geschoss mit Lesesessel, sowie die Couches im ersten Geschoss und im Erdgeschoß laden zum Lesen, Verweilen und Musikhören ein. Über eine kleine Musikanlage und ein paar Klassik CDs für jeden Geschmack kann ein Tag ausklingen, nachdem man in der herrlichen Gegend verbracht hat - Trequanda selbst aber auch in den unmittelbar in der Nähe gelegenen Siena, Pienza und den Weinorten Montalcino und Montepulciano. Das Angebot an Restaurants in der Gegend ist ebenfalls hervorragend. Wir hatten rundum herrliche Tage hier verbracht, wegen der tollen Gegend und wegen der tollen Unterkunft. Dies verdanken wir auch unseren Gastgebern, sie haben nicht nur eine traumhafte Umgebung für unsere Ferien geschaffen, sondern haben sich auch hervorragend um unsere Belange gekümmert.

Fantastic rural Tuscan farmhouse
We (a family of 2 adults, 2 kids (6 and 4 years old)) have just come back from a wonderful stay (~10 days) at Podere Poggiolo in late July-early August where we have the most fantastic time. The property was lovely; clean and very nicely presented as you would expect, but full of character and a clearly loved previous home. Charming and personal furnishing throughout the house made it feel like coming to stay with friends rather than a holiday home. The house has clearly been attentively renovated and refurbished with modern touches that our kids loved - the glass-floored mezzanine and spiral staircase, the illuminated spa-bath - and plenty of space. Only a couple of separate bedrooms, but several additional pull-out beds/sofa beds. The outside space was fantastic too. Sharing the garden with another family staying in the smaller unit was fun. We overlapped with two other families who also had kids. Lovely big garden to play around in (although it was generally very hot). And the pool! What a necessary feature in the 40C midday heat, ever day. And the location couldn't be beaten. Trequanda, and short stroll away, is a lovely small town/village with just the right amount of amenities - a handful of restaurants with a range of styles and characters, a central old square with cafes. Montisi, 5 mins drive, is also hugely characterful medieval village with loads of character. Many of the major regional sites - Siena, Pienza, Montalcino, Montipulciano, etc, etc, are and easy drive within 1 hour through the most fantastic scenery. Overall, if we could go back tomorrow, we would. Loved it! Thank you for enabling a wonderful family holiday.

Schönes Haus mit viel Charme und Gemütlichkeit
Das Haus hat viel Charme und man spürt die private Atmosphäre. Margherita legt sehr viel Wert auf Wohlfühlen, das Haus ist gut gepflegt, der Außenbereich ebenfalls. Unser zusätzliches Glück war, dass die Anliegerwohnung zu der Zeit frei war und wir das ganze Gelände (sehr gepflegt) zur alleinigen Verfügung hatten. Im Ort (fußläufig) iner Supermarkt und 2 gute Restaurants. Das Umland (Peinza, Siena, Montepulciano, San Giovanni d'Asso etc.) ist mit das schönste was die Toskana zu bieten hat.

Un sogno fantastico!!!
Un intero podere tutto per noi, curato nei minimi dettagli, pulito confortevole e... semplicemente stupendo! In una posizione strategica: nel mezzo delle colline senesi, equidistante da tutti i meravigliosi luoghi che volevamo visitare. Un paradiso anche per il palato. L'ospitalità è ottima e Margherita è super simpatica e disponibile: ci ha dato un sacco di dritte! Grazie davvero di cuore e speriamo di tornare presto!

Partire e trovare una "vera" casa ...
Le foto non rendono giustizia al clima che si respira in questo podere, l'aria di una vera casa vissuta, ricca di sensazioni positive. L'impressione immediata di farne parte, di essere della famiglia. Il giardino ci ha regalato ore di ozio rilassante e bagni in piscina. Le aspettative sono state di gran lunga superate, molto positiva la posizione che rende accessibile in poco tempo a tutti i più bei borghi del posto. Contiamo di tornare presto e lo consiglio a chi vuole fare della propria vacanza un momento per ritrovarsi, per ritrovare ritmi e sensazioni accantonati nella fretta della quotidianità.

Podere Poggiolo
Ci sono stata per la prima volta nel 2003, quando gli interni erano molto diversi. La ristrutturazione del 2007 lo ha reso ancora più accogliente, pur lasciando intatto il fascino che solo i vecchi casali sanno emanare. E’ un luogo che è uno stato d’animo. E’ il piacere di stare insieme, le chiacchiere sotto un cielo stellato come non ci si ricorda più, le partite infinite a Monopoly, lo scoprire che si vive benissimo (e, anzi, meglio) senza tv e senza orologi. Una pausa, da tutto e da tutti, per stare in compagnia di se stessi e godere della compagnia di chi ci è accanto.
