Borgo il Poderone is located 800 metres above sea level at the foot of Monte Amiata. From here one can explore the mountains, the countryside and the coast of southern Tuscany. There are several nature and wildlife country parks in this area, whilst the coastal beaches offer uncrowded calm waters and trips to the islands of Giglio and Elba. The countryside is stunning with the thermal springs of Saturnia a quiet 25 minute drive away. Also close at hand are the famous wine towns of Montalcino, Montpulciano and Pitigliano. At 1700 metres above sea level Monte Amiata itself is a ski resort in winter and a lovely place to walk and admire the views from in other seasons. Groceries and other provisions can be bought from the shops in Roccalbegna, where there is also a bank, post office and pharmacy. Grosseto is the closest city and its medieval walled old town is very attractive with its unspoilt cathedral and museums. The lakes of Trasimeno and Bolsena are also close by.

Rural Tuscany in March

Review Submitted: January 20, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2008
This is a beautifully situated apartment with stunning views and lots of traditional villages and towns to explore. Everything was supplied in the apartment that you would need in a home from home, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and sofa, tv, dvd's books etc. Access to the many delights of Tuscany are relatively easy, although a car is essential. Also a visit to Florence does warrant an overnight stay in the City. Easy day trips are Siena, the beach near Grosseto (Marina di Alberese)for some early sunbathing, (we were very lucky with the weather) and a trip to Lago Trasimeno where we had a great meal in a restaurant on stilts over the lake. We spent a lovely, relaxing week with some days in and around the apartment just enjoying the peace and quiet and others travelling to see the sites. This is a wonderful place to unwind and get away from it all. I would thoroughly recommend it and expect to return myself.

Relaxing Holiday in Tuscany

Jane, Dave and Friends Southampton, UK
Review Submitted: January 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We stayed in Nespola for a week in July 2008. It is a smart, well laid out holiday cottage in a very peaceful and picturesque location. Being up in the hills it is not as hot as other parts of Tuscany and we did not use the air conditioning. The cottage's two terraces are well positioned and allow you to sit in sun or shade are you prefer. The sea and islands can be seen from the terrace.
Roccalbegna is a delightful village well worth exploring. The local food and beer festival was held during our stay and we spent a superb evening at a dance with a local band - the whole town seemed to be there from the youngest to the oldest.
Borgo il Poderone was quiet and we usually had the pool to ourselves. Local hill-top towns like Pitigliano are full of local character and definitely worth a visit. The wildlife park on the road to Arcidosso has a variety of animals from donkeys to wolves and is best visited in the evening when it is cooler and the animals can be seen.

Winter retreat.

Penny1 Buckinghamshire
Review Submitted: December 20, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
We visited the property in the low season and found it to be exactly as described; well appointed and finished to a high specification. With stunning views and an early sprinkling of snow, the added attraction of a log fire made it all rather magical. Small nearby towns had many welcoming restaurants offering local, seasonal specialities.
This is an area of Italy we were unfamiliar with and having explored a little, next next time we will try the ski ing.
The owners were most helpful and eager to answer any questions.

Italian Paradise!

this leicester
Review Submitted: December 19, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2007
This cottage is superb. Beautifully presented, with clean stylish decor it was really well equipped, right down to the choice of DVDs! Barbeques on the terrace while the sun sets over the mountains are a lasting memory for us.
The pool is clean and a good size, and provides somewhere to talk to other visitors from a range of European countries if you feel like it. Our daughter (15) was able to make friends there and enjoy a safe environment while feeling independent. The village is well spread out over the gorgeous site, allowing maximum privacy.
The location is idyllic, set in the mountains, quiet and calm but within a short drive of restaurants with delicious typical Italian cuisine. We recommend the boar in chocolate sauce at Rocalbegna by the way - not at all what it sounds!
Its a great location for walkers although a car or motorbike is really an essential, then there are the wonders of Tuscany to explore, for example Siena is an easy journey by car away and well worth several visits.
We thoroughly recommend this cottage - it had everything we needed for a fabulous break.

Memories of Borgo il Poderone / Toskana

Charlie, Liesel und Familie Poxdorf (Bayern), Deutschland
Review Submitted: July 26, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
Den heurigen Sommerurlaub verbrachten wir wieder einmal in der Toskana. Diesmal mieteten wir uns für zwei Wochen ein Häuschen, nämlich Nespola, am Fuße des Monte Amiata von Mitte bis Ende Juni. Was wir vorfanden entsprach nahezu exakt der Beschreibung der Eigentümer, die sich äusserst zuvorkommend zeigten und für eine perfekte geschäftliche Abwicklung sorgten. Alles war sauber und machte einen gepflegten Eindruck, wie auch die gesamte Anlage, angefangen vom Parkplatz bis zum Pool, der täglich gereinigt wurde. Der übertriebene Einsatz der Motorsense wirkte in der sonst so beschaulichen Idylle manchmal störend.
Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man für die Selbstverpflegung braucht, von dem Barbecue auf der Terrasse haben wir gerne regen Gebrauch gemacht. Durch die variablen Sitzmöglichkeiten, Eingangsbereich u. Terrasse, ist auch draussen im Freien stets eine private Atmosphäre gegeben. Mit dem täglichen Bedarf haben wir uns meist in den nächstgelegenen Orten Santa Fiora (ein auch sonst sehr hübsches Städchen) und Arcidosso eingedeckt. Aufgrund der Abgeschiedenheit von Il Poderone sind längere Fahrtzeiten in Kauf zu nehmen, ein Auto ist ohnehin unerlässlich.
Viele markante Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in der Reichweite von Tagestouren, die uns (wieder mal) u.a. nach Montalcino, Montepulciano, Siena, San Gimignano, Monte Argentario, Massa Marittima geführt haben. Besonders empfehlen können wir die Besichtigung von Pitigliano, ein sehr freundlicher, malerischer Ort mit einladender Gastronomie (Il Grottino).
In der zweiten Urlaubswoche war es für toskanische Verhältnisse leider unangenehm kühl und regnerisch, so dass der Besuch unserer „privaten Perle“, Massa Marittima, buchstäblich ins Wasser fiel und die sonst herrliche Piazza uns diesmal nicht erheitern konnte.

Nach dem Motto „Heute ist nicht aller Tage Abend! Wir kommen wieder, keine Frage!“ schauen wir aber bestimmt mal wieder rein – vielleicht auch in Nespola.
