its once upon the time ..." - "Casa Pineta" offers the rare flair of an authentic Tuscan country home of 500 years , combined with the comfort of today. The property Poderi Val Verde is a still active farm with many animals and sport activities such as archery for everybody. The house was built in various steps over a period of at least 4 centuries , repeatedly extended as needs for more space arose. The resulting various levels within the house create a particular flair.

Prove of its history give the typical handcut oak beam ceilings, some of the original cottofloors, narrow doors, the old fireplace that people used to sit in to warm themselves, the original sandstone sink and many more little signs, that we shall gladly point out to you. Stair and doors sills of local grey sandstone show obvious signs of wear - signs that thousands of feet left over the last few hundred of years.

This farmhouse was renovated some years ago, but we did not stop there, retouches had been made in the last years. - all enhancing the typical Tuscan structure that we intentionally left untouched where possible . All rooms are handpainted in the typical warm colours of a Tuscan country home : shades of yellow, orange and green. Doors and windows are whitewashed , Its rustic ambiente is one of "... once upon the time ... leading you back i time.

Bella Tuscany
This is a restored farm property in a beautiful location. It is a true Tuscan farm experience.Lovingly restored by the owner and her son. This Tuscan farm experience has a great pool for cooling down on very hot days. It is well equipped for family dinners to be enjoyed under the stars. Very well located for touring Chianti and making family memories. The space accommodated our family of 11 very well and it has a bathroom attached to each bedroom - something that is hard to find and great for families of mixed ages. Our days were full with visiting the surrounding area and relaxing by the pool. There are other offerings that unfortunately we were not able to attend including welcoming dinners, archery and cooking classes. A wonderful family memory. Thank you

A group of cyclists enjoying the countryside
A group of 10 women from the US rented the villa for a week- we split ourselves between the 4 bedrooms/baths. We'd go for a bike ride every morning and then come back to the villa to relax in the afternoon. Having laundry facilities on site was key- we'd through our kits into the washing machine and then dry them on the line. The pool was a delish treat, as were the variety of places on the property to sit and relax. The kitchen was well stocked with any/all plates, glassware, dishes we needed. Groceries were purchased in Sienna which was a short drive away Ulrike was an amazing host. Her charm, her garden beds filled with fresh vegetable and herbs were a very welcome addition to our stay. What an amazing woman she is. The welcoming dinner (and then subsequent cooking lesson) was filled with delishouness! Wifi worked great for ALL of our devices. If you are looking for a quaint, low-key vacation look no further than here.

Perfect location for Tuscan exploration!
Excellent location! Comfortable house. We were well looked after by owner Ulrike and her son Fabian. Nearby Castellina was our favorite hilltop town.

Wonderful Location From Which To Explore
Our friends rented this property for a month and invited their friends to come visit. We stayed for two weeks and thought it was a great location from which to explore the local region. During our stay we visited a lot of the little hill towns in Chianti but also ventured to other locations such as San Gimignano, Monterigionni, Montalcino, Siena, Florence, Lucca, Assisi and Ravenna. The property has a wonderful rustic charm and worked out very well for the various groups who came to visit; each of us had our own bedroom and bathroom.....very nice! It was also nice to experience the variety of animals on the property including cats, dogs, Cameroon sheep, a peacock, chickens, etc. The local town of Castellina is very nice and had some of the best gelato we've every had. Would definitely recommend this property to others

Rustic & Picturesque
When I chose Poderi Val Verde, I had something different in mind. I thought it would be a bit more luxurious. However, I was not disappointed. The grounds are gorgeous and the views are stunning. Could the linens be upgraded - sure. Could the beds be a bit more comfortable - sure. But keep in mind, the feel of warmth and peace is overwhelming. The accommodations are basic and clean. Urlike is a character and has great knowledge. She is helpful and will give you too much advice! That is a compliment, I assure you. We encountered a bit of a buggy time but we managed. Fans throughout the house would be a welcome addition for the evenings. The consensus from the group was that breakfast was a bit pricey but in all the meals were delicious. We had a wonderful time. Castellina as a town is small and warm. All the locations Urlike mentions are extremely accessible. It's nice to come "home" to Val Verde after touring all day and have a swim or simply relax with wine on the loggia. Enjoy your time and be sure to give Ulrike and Fabian our best! Hope to see them one day again!

About the host

Hosted by Ulrike Eder

Host profile image
The German owner Ulrike with her son Fabian - both English, German and Italian speaking outgoing and very open-minded people that will gladly be of assistance and share their experiences in Italy with their many international guests

Why they chose this property

because its setting and location is unique and we treat our guests as family - because we are very central to the next town and all major sights - because 3 airports to choose from (Florence, Pisa, Bologna) -and because we also thinks about the time after the sightseeing offering a small playground with soccer, volley ball and ping-pong, archery lessons as well as hands-on cooking classes and marked trekking trails.

well-ediucsted dogs are welcome, but must be kept on a leash all times - extra charge €50/week/dog

What makes this property unique

there are few places that are so central to everything, and offer so much - located only 500 m from the main road but in absolute silence of the surrounding nature (the only nature preserve area in the Siena region) - you are closed to most important sights and places of Tuscany - 5 min to the next town, less then 1 hours from the next major airport (Florence) so getting here is no problem - fantastic marked trekking trails starting from your doorstep (stunning nature in winter or spring) , biking of the finest (on the tracks of the Giro d'Italia, golfing with the elite, archery lessons and 3D parcour in the surrounding woods and brushes, hands-on cookery courses of local specialities using ingredients from the own vegetable and herb garden visit to the closeby hot springs, etc. etc. . Or simply enjoying a glass of wine, some pecorino cheese on your personal patio, watching deer and wild boar pass by, Tuscan eagles soaring above this magnificant privately owned valley - what can one ask more for

Our extra services includes typical Tuscan welcome dinner, breakfast service and other dining activities - all on request
