About this property

Peaceful location, aromatic garden, great views, spectacular sunsets (700m high)

We're pleased to welcome you to a 300 year old stone barn on the Podere Sant'Angelo estate 700m high in the heart of Maremma.

Where once wine, cheese and cereals were stored, today you'll find our romantic holiday home 'Capitorio'. With its 50 square metres, a bedroom with a double bed, a fold-out armchair for one more person and a living area with sofa bed, it's perfect for couples or small families. 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.

Capitorio 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.

N.B. There is an extra fee for more than 2 adults of €15.00/night, kids under 18 do not pay the supplement.

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).

A little gem in Southern Tuscany
Excellent retreat in a pastoral environment. We especially enjoyed the view from the terrace and the bleating of sheep in the background. One of us got a lot of writing done, while the other watched the Tour de France. In short: the perfect (work)holiday, thanks to the Graham, the perfect host.

Gite merveilleux dans un endroit merveilleux
(English below) Gite très bien équipé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût...tout est très propre et le moindre détail est soigné...L'environnement est merveilleux, calme : seul le bruit du vent et celui des cigales viendra perturber votre sieste ! Le propriétaire est chaleureux et toujours de bon conseil. Nous avons tellement apprécié que nous serions prêts à revenir prochainement !!!! Tout autour de ce gite se trouvent de beaux village perchés, des sites étrusques et romains et les fameuses sources d’eau chaude sulfurées de Saturnia (baignade recommandée). En résumé……un beau gite qui est un excellent point de départ pour des visites, pour faire du vélo sportif ou simplement pour décompresser loin des tourments du quotidien. Very well equipped and tastefully decorated Holiday cottage …. Everything is clean and meticulously prepared. The local landscape is wonderful and quiet: only the noise of the wind and the one of cicadas can disrupt your afternoon nap ! The owner is warm and always provides sound advices ! We so much appreciated that we would be ready to return soon !!!! Beautiful perched villages, Etruscan & Roman sites and famous hot & sulphurized watersprings (located in Saturnia; recommended bathing) can be found in the near vicinity. As a summary … a beautiful holiday cottage which is an excellent starting point for visiting, for biking (sportsmen) or simply for relaxing far from the daily worries.

Sehr empfehlenswert!!!
Wer Urlaub in einer tollen Landschaft mit super Aussicht, ruhiger Lage und fern ab der nächsten Straßen verbingen möchte ist hier richtig! Wir verbrachten zwei Wochen im Capitorio, das uns durch seine rustikale Atmosphäre, die stil- und liebevolle Einrichtung, die Terrasse mit grandiosem Weitblick (Sonnenuntergang, je nach Sichtverhältnissen Blick bis aufs Meer bzw. in die Berge) und das lavendelduftende blüteneiche Umfeld mit verschiedenen Sitzplätzen sehr gut gefallen hat. Alles war sehr sauber und mit Graham, dem Besitzer, stand uns jederzeit ein supernetter multilingualer Ansprechpartner zur Verfügung, der uns jede Menge Tipps für lohnende Ausflüge geben konnte. Sehr empfehlenswert!!!

Sehr empfehlenswert
Wir haben ca. 2 Wochen in der Ferienwohnung Capitorio verbracht. Unsere Ansprüche/Erwartungen nach Ruhe, Natur, aber auch an die (liebevoll eingerichtete und urgemütliche) Ferienwohnung sowie d. Anwesen selbst wurden in jeder Hinsicht erfüllt und entsprachen exakt den Beschreibungen des Vermieters Graham. Dieser stand uns jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Ein nettes Gespräch war immer drin, und wir haben nicht zuletzt durch Graham viel über Land und Leute erfahren können. Die Natur mit vielfältigen Sehenswürdigkeiten, ob Berge, Tierwelt oder die Landschaft generell, hier haben wir uns wohlgefühlt. Es gab viele schöne Ortschaften und Städte zu bestaunen. Wenn auch teils längere Anfahrten dafür in Kauf zu nehmen sind, war dies für uns stets lohnenswert, ebenso wie die Mitnahme eines Reiseführers. Der kostenlose WLAN-Zugang hat uns gut gefallen. Sollte unser Urlaubsziel wieder einmal die südliche Toskana werden, kommen wir sehr gerne wieder. Mathias und Jutta

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, as such, offers a glimpse into life in Tuscany as it was 30 or 40 years ago. 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.
