Tuscany, Italy
- 4 persons
- 2 bedrooms
- WiFi
- Swimming pool
- Pets allowed
Podere di Maggio, an organic farm in a beautiful part of Tuscany; in the south-east, on the slopes of Mount Amiata. Here you can find the Seccatoio, a 60 m2 detached house on two floors, built in stone. Upstairs there is a bedroom with a double bed, on the ground floor a large living room with a spectacular view of the valley and Mount Amiata, a kitchen and a bathroom. Outside there is a terrace with barbecue, shaded by a pergola and a covered terrace from where you can enjoy the sunsets. In summer the house always remains cool thanks to the stone construction, in winter the house is heated with a centralized gas system. Up to 4 people can sleep here; 2 in the bedroom and 2 on a very comfortable sofa bed in the living room, which becomes a double bed or two separate beds. The natural swimming pool for common use is located about 50 m away from the house, but totally out of sight.
Nature and surroundings
The Fiora valley, rich in nature reserves, springs, streams and many uncontaminated woods populated by a vast wildlife. There are numerous beautiful medieval towns of cultural interest nearby.

The whole area of the south of Tuscany is still authentic and not yet known by mass tourism.

The little apartment, or actually cottage, is very nice and tastefully decorated. Fully equipped, even a washing machine. There is plenty of space around you, but if you have a question, someone is there to explain. On the site there are several accommodations (tents and apartments) but you don't really meet each other at all. Sometimes retreats are held, in principle you get nothing from it, except that once we could hear an outdoor session a little too loud (shouting to "release emotions"). Put on headphones and continued to enjoy. To each his own.
Het appartementje, of eigenlijk huisje, is erg mooi en smaakvol ingericht. Van alle gemakken voorzien, zelfs een wasmachine. Om je heen heb je alle ruimte, maar als je een vraag hebt, is er zo iemand bij je om uitleg te geven. Op het terrein zijn meerdere verblijven (tenten en appartementjes) maar eigenlijk kom je elkaar helemaal niet tegen. Er worden soms ook retraites gehouden, in principe krijg je daar niets van mee, behalve dat wij 1 keer een buitensessie iets te luid konden horen (geschreeuw om 'emoties los te laten'). Koptelefoon opgezet en doorgaan met genieten. Ieder z'n ding.
The grounds are incredibly beautiful with vegetation of trees, bushes and plants everywhere. You have beautiful views from the cottage. Our dog could wander around and play with the 2 dogs of the owners. On the terrace you have sun all day and in the background you can hear the cackling of the chickens. You really only hear sounds of nature; at dusk the wild boars come scurrying and even you can hear them nibbling, really special.
Het terrein is ontzettend mooi met overal begroeiing van bomen, struiken en planten. Je hebt prachtig uitzicht vanuit het huisje. Onze hond kon heerlijk rondstruinen en spelen met de 2 honden van de eigenaren. Op het terrasje heb je de hele dag zon en hoor je op de achtergrond het gekakel van de kippen. Je hoort eigenlijk alleen maar natuurgeluiden; bij schemer komen de wilde zwijnen scharrelen en zelfs die hoor je knabbelen, echt bijzonder.

Especially price/quality not up to par.
Met name prijs/kwaliteit niet in orde.
We enjoyed the beautiful place in the middle of greenery. Lots of animals! Cats, dogs, chickens, peacocks and every morning and evening wild boars, beautiful sight. We were welcomed by a nice girl who temporarily worked/lived on the farm. The owners were not introduced. Felt uncomfortable. It was very hot, we slept upstairs. It did cool off in the evening, but it was hotter upstairs than downstairs and sleeping without a fan was not doable in our experience. There was no fan, so we bought one. There were other things in the house that could be better. No sink, stop sink we only discovered on the last day in the bathroom. Rickety chairs. Sofa not really comfortable. No screen downstairs, lots of bugs back outside. Natural pool is there, but the steep path down does not invite to go there easily. For 800 euros you expect it to be better.
Wij genoten van de mooie plek midden in het groen. Veel dieren! Katten, honden, kippen, pauwen en elke ochtend en avond wilde zwijntjes, prachtig gezicht.
We werden welkom geheten door een aardig meisje dat tijdelijk werkte/woonde op de boerderij. De eigenaren hebben niet kennisgemaakt. Voelde ongemakkelijk. Het was heel warm, we sliepen boven. 's Avonds koelde het wel af, maar boven was het warmer dan beneden en slapen zonder ventilator was in onze beleving niet te doen. Er was geen ventilator, dus die hebben we gekocht. Zo waren er nog meer dingen in het huis die beter kunnen. Geen afwasteiltje, stop gootsteen ontdekten we pas op de laatste dag in de badkamer. Gammele stoeltjes. Bank die niet echt lekker zit. Geen hor beneden, veel insecten weer buiten gezet. Natuurzwembad is er, maar het steile pad naar beneden nodigt niet uit om daar even makkelijk naartoe te gaan. Voor 800 euro verwacht je dat het beter voor elkaar is.This text is automatically translated. -

A lovely, cool cottage.
Een heerlijk, koel huisje.
We had a wonderful vacation. Made new friends: peacocks, chickens, cats and even a few wild boars.
Wij hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad. Nieuwe vrienden gemaakt: pauwen, kippen, katten en zelfs een paar everzwijnen.
