Charming 4 apartments in farm house in the heart of Tuscany in Siena

Podere Pietreta is a large stone farmhouse built in the 1700s which
was lovingly and painstakingly renovated in 2002 using only original
materials and with the architectural features being kept intact.

The farmhouse is situated on top of a hill in an outstandingly
beautiful position, just a short distance from the ancient Via
Francigena and inside the Val d’Orcia Artistic and Natural Park
where life goes on in perfect harmony with nature, art, culture and
tradition.

The apartments are furnished exclusively with period furniture. All
the apartments feature a fireplace and independent heating,
satellite television, dishwasher, oven, independent entrance and
private outside area with garden furniture.

All bedrooms have their own bathroom with shower. The atmosphere is

Podere Pietreta offers you the opportunity to experience an oasis of
peace and tranquillity in the heart of Tuscany surrounded by the
lush greenery of the Val d’Orcia.

the nearby hills that slope down towards the lowlands. From this
position you can enjoy a truly breathtaking view of the surrounding
nature, from Mount Cetona to the crags of San Casciano and from the
Rocca di Celle sul Rigo to the slopes of Mount Amiata.

The charm of one of the most picturesque panoramas in Tuscany goes
hand in hand with a mild and pleasant climate, favoured by the
farmhouse’s sheltered position and the hundred year old oaks and
evergreens that grow all around it. The park includes an olive
grove, orchard, rose garden, natural terraces edged with aromatic
shrubs and wide flower borders.

The scenic swimming pool is bordered by a large lawn and is
