Overview
Casa Lola
Casa Lola is a charmingly restored, two storey old house which is beautifully covered by wild wines and wisteria. Curtains, fabric of upholstery, carpets and pillows are stylishly chosen and match perfectly. All ceilings are beamed, all floors are terracotta and all walls are white washed. On the ground floor is a very spacious bedroom with a romantic queen size canopy bed and antique wardrobe. The bathroom has got a big shower and nice hand painted tiles from the Siena region. Upstairs there is the living room, a dining area with seating for 5 people and a big sofa. Leading from the living room there is the second bedroom and kitchen. From the kitchen and the second bedroom you enjoy a wonderful view out onto the pool below and the surrounding countryside. The terrace with outdoor dining for six people is directly in front of the living room and offers a beautiful view onto the blooming garden.
Podere Fulignano
'Podere Fulignano' is a beautiful old farm house complex which has been lovingly restored. It is situated in the middle of a 300 year old olive grove.
The charming houses, which are covered by wines and wisteria, are full of character with excellent quality furnishings and up-market fittings. Beamed ceilings, terracotta floors and hand painted tiles are found throughout them.
'Podere Fulignano' is perfect for both big groups and families who love to spent some time together but also like to enjoy their privacy as well. It is set in 50 acres of ground and the three independent cottages are far enough apart to guarantee peaceful privacy if needed.
Campagnatico, the next village is only three minutes by car from the farm.
It is the ideal place for anybody wishing to get away from it all and to relax and experience real Tuscan life without having to use the car every day. The huge pool, beautiful garden and great views make it a perfect stay for everyone.

About Mel
Ciao,, my husband Thomas and I bought Podere Fulignano almost 20 years ago. By then we both worked in the media business and were a bit tired of its superficiality. The southern Tuscany and its rurality fascinated and inspired us. Since the very first day we consistently renovated, renewed, changed and improved and we still do :)
Mel purchased this farmhouse in 1995
Why Mel chose Grosseto Region
We absolutely fell in love with this place from the very first second we saw it. For us it was like an old stage out of a film or an opera scene. We both felt the peace and the quietness and decided within one hour to buy it. The southern part of Tuscany is still so unspoilt and there are little tourists. The locals became close friends over the past years and treat us and our guests like close friends. And all major cities such as Rome Pisa Siena and Florence are within 1:30 hours reach and even the sea is only 30 minutes away. It's absolutely perfect for us and so say our guests and fiends.
What makes this farmhouse unique
For us and our friends and guests Podere Fulignano is the most peaceful spot on earth. It is heavenly quiet with clean air and no light pollution and therefore many shooting stars in the starry sky. You can listen to the fantastic nature - nightingales and crickets and fireflies. Enjoy the wonderful nature with its fantastic wild life - porcupines, wild boar, deer etc. Visit the unspoilt medieval villages of Tuscany.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Mel, I just wanted to write and let you know we had an amazing holiday in Campagnatico. Your property is truly stunning… the villa was incredible, the views to die for, the pool was great, we really couldn’t fault anything. We said all week that’s its truly a 5 star self catering villa experience! We managed to fit a lot in, but relax at the same time, with trips to Siena, the beach, but also some days by the pool, and many a night spent in the small street and nice bars and restaurants of Campagnatico (Locanda del Glicine was incredible food!) We even saw some new kittens being born near the back of Casa Roberta, so next time you are there you may see some news faces. Luciano and his wife were very friendly too, and I don’t think we would have changed a thing about our holiday (well, maybe a little less rain on some days!) Thanks very much for all your help and advice, and for letting us use Casa Roberta. I'm sure we will be back! Thanks and regards Phil, Nerys, Ben & Laura

Great Tuscan hideaway
Great atmosphere, beautiful location and well equipped cottage. Pool stunning. Luciano and Daniela very welcoming and helpful. Campagnatico good village with all you need and nice restaurant.
Living 'la dolce vita' in an adorable surrounding
The casa lola, a charming stone house for 4 to 5 guests, lies within an old olive grove near the picturesque small village of Campagnatico. The surrounding is quiet and beautiful. We enjoyed the view of a picture-perfect tuscanian landscape from our grounds. There are two other houses for travellers - anone belongs to the owners -, so the place was not
'packed' at all with people, you get loads of space for yourself (which was an important factor for us). The facilities in casa lola are impeccable, there's everything you need for a good living (well set up kitchen, very clean and neat in- and outside the house etc.), and even more: Around the corner of the house you get your own pizza-oven and barbecue-grill (runs with gas) besides a lovely terrace where you want to spend hours of cooking and 'mangiare' and fine red wine while enjoying tuscanian sunsets.
Then, there's the large pool area, few yards below the housing complex, which makes it hard for you going out for a daytrip. You just don't want to leave there. ;)
Of course - the price for enjoying peaceful solitude - you need to be motorized for doing grocery shopping, sight seeing. Siena is a one hour ride from Campagnatico e.g. Food is best when buying at the local market or super markets in Grosseto, half an hour by car.
The owners and staff (special thanks to Daniela and Luciano!) were helpful and caring. There is also a small guide book at the house for activities in Grosseto and Campagnatico, with restaurant and shopping suggestions.
We absolutely recommend the Casa Lola and we hope we have the chance to come back soon!
Fantastic location - perfect for a break out
Cool place to calm down. Original Toscana flair with romantic and confortable houses. Great place to stay.
Wunderbare Erholung
Extrem gepflegtes Anwesen, herrlich ruhig, gigantischer Pool, sehr nette Gastgeber und extrem aufmerksame Angestellte, ein perfekt ausgestattetes Ferienhaus, unvergessliche Abende am Pizzaofen. Wir waren rundum glücklich und entspannt. Kommen sicher wieder! Vielen Dank! Martin, Petra und Nina
wir bleiben hier :o)
Beste Mel
Die Sonne hat uns wieder ... Axel & ich haben beschlossen WIR BLEIBEN ...
Manchmal glückt der Versuch, nicht ans Koffer packen und Abreisen zu denken – aber eben nur manchmal.
Wir hatten ganz besonders schöne Tage in Eurem home, haben viiiel gewandert – „bis nach Sienna“. Bei Wind und Regen und natürlich immer wieder bei herrlichem Sonnenschein. Wir haben lekker gekocht und noch besser „außer des eigenen Kochtopfes“ gegessen – was für eine gute Zeit.
Eure Katzen sind so gute, wohl erzogene Tiere. Jeden Morgen habe ich sie gerufen, sie gekuschelt und der Bande Milch-Wasser-Frühstück gegeben – dann lagen sie bei uns im Schatten – putzten ihre plüschigen Samtpfoten, schurrten und entschwanden lautlos.
Am Samstag machen wir nun wirklich „ernst“ – fligen von Rom nach Hause – zum Glück scheint in Den Haag die Sonne – nehmen alles an Erinnerungen mit (die wiegen n ichts im Koffer, aber in unseren Gedanken schwer, schön schwer!) und lassen auf unserem, für 10 Tage ausgeliehenem Tisch mit „a view“, das Pinienzapfen-Hülsenfrüchte-Ensemble“ (unsere Deko vom ersten Tag an) zurück.
Mögen alle Gäste Ruhe und diese Zufriedenheit, Glück und Freude „im Enrico“ finden – wir haben es ...
Ganz vielleicht reisen wir schon FR spät abends ab – die Idee, im Hilton am Airport zu schlafen – ABER Axel mag bis auf die letzte Sekunde bleiben – so denke ich, werden wir gen 5:30 am SA „früh in See stechen gen Rom“ – der Flug geht irgendwas gen 9:40 ... anyway. Wir lassen deb Schlüssel unter dem Stein, bei Luciano haben wir bezahlt – was für ein guter, freundlicher Mensch und wie dumm, dass wir kein italienisch praten – mit unserem sehr spärlichen Langenscheidt versuchten wir es, aber von Erfolg kann da nicht die Rede sein. Bitte richte Luciano auf diesem Weg hartelijke groetjes von uns aus! Bedankt.
Auf ein Wiedersehen.
Alles Liebe und take care
Axel en Andrea
... wir waren zu feige ins Pool zu springen – zu kalt zum Schwimmen – traumhaft zum Wandern – AAABER morgen werde ich eine Runde im Wasser machen – versprochen. Heute schon ist es sehr warm (puuuh, sportlicher Ehrgeiz zieht uns nach San Gimignano – studentische Erinnerungen ... – letzte Wanderrunde) und morgen wird eben geschwommen und in die Ferne geschaut – ans Packen denkt hier keiner ...
Schöner geht nicht!
Liebe Mel und Thomas,
wir hatten einen der schönsten Urlaube je!
Neben der tollen Villa, die perfekt ausgestattet und wirklich keine Wünsche offenliess und dem fantastischen Pool, dessen Ausmasse all unsere Erwartungen übertraf und dem romantischen gelegenen Pizzaofen, durch den wir die beste Pizza unseres Lebens gegessen haben, muss man auch die wunderbar gepflegten Gärten, schönen Ausblicke und vor allem aber eure Gastfreundschaft loben. Euer Tip Castiglione della Pescaia und dessen wunderbarer Strand war genial und auch sonst hat man von euch den perfekten Ausgangspunkt für Sightseeing jeder Art. Wir haben nur Siena und Pisa geschafft, da der Pool doch allzu verlockend war. Herrlich, ein kühles Bier aus dem Poolkühlschrank mit ein paar Grissini am frühen Abend, die Kinder entweder auf dem grossen Trampolin oder im Pool rumhüpfend...alles wunderbar entspannen! Den einzigen Minuspunkt, den wir haben, ist der, dass ihr leider offensichtlich sehr erfolgreich vermietet und wir somit gezwungen sind, schon jetzt unseren Urlaub bei euch für das nächste Jahr einzubuchen. Aber es gibt schlimmeres;o)...Vielen Dank für alles, ihr werdet uns jetzt nicht mehr los :o)!
Peter, Biggi und Pauline
Map
At the beautiful and charming little medieval (c.1200 century) village of Campagnatico (700 inhabitants) you will find a small supermarket, a pharmacy, a butcher, a bakery, a bank, a post office, two bars and three restaurants: a pizza place, a trattoria and a very luxurious one (which is an insider’s tip). The next big town is Grosseto, just 18 km away. There you will find everything you need including huge supermarkets, fresh fish markets and a really nice shopping area and walking zone. Campagnatico is located exactly in the middle of a triangle between the three big cities of Florence, Pisa and Rome. There is also good railway connection between these three cities and Grosseto, which is great for arriving to the farm, as well as for sightseeing. The big and beautiful nature reserve 'Parco naturale della Maremma' and the nicest beaches of the Maremma region such as Punta Ala, Monte Argentario, Castiglione della Pescaia are in only half an hour by car from the property.
Other Activities: wine tasting
Golf: 2 different 18 holes Golf Courses located within 40km from the property, open all the year: “Golf Club Toscana - Il Pelagone” (35 km) and “Golf Club Punta Ala” (about 35 km).
'Il Pelagone' is 18 holes, 5.920m, and PAR 71-SSS 70, with many facilities: training field, putting green, pro shop, hire cart, golf bags and trolley, bar, swimming-pool, volley, baby-sitting. During winter is closed on Wednesday.
'Punta Ala', opened in 1964, is 18 holes, 6.168m, PAR 72-SSS 72, with driving range, golf-cars, pro-shop, golf trolley, bar, restaurant and spectacular views all around. Open everyday.
