PIETRETA

Podere Pietreta is an original Tuscan country house from ‘700, surrounded by beautiful countryside and olive trees. The property was recently renovated dividing the house into apartments and rooms, carefully maintaining all the characteristics of the original Tuscan style and elegantly adding all modern comforts. The big panoramic swimming pool by the house guarantees additional relax and amusement after a good sightseeing day or in hot days. The atmosphere of the property and the local people working there contribute to the typical, unique experience. The country house is positioned on a hill with an incredible view of the Tuscany countryside. Radicofani, a mediaeval village famous for its grey-stone houses and the ‘Ghino di Tacco’ fortress overlooking it, is just 2km away. In the area, the famous wines, the different cheeses and hams, the typical restaurants with their traditional recipes contribute to an unforgettable vacation also from a culinary standpoint. For us, the best comment from our guests is: “We really feel at home here”! Radicofani, the village close to Pietreta, is one of the main stops of the famous Via Francigena, the ancient road starting in France on which, since the Middle Age, thousands of pilgrims have walked to reach St. Peter’s Church in Rome. The village represents a little gem of Vald’Orcia, the area included by UNESCO in 2005 in the World Heritage list for its unparalleled countryside and villages. Val d’Orcia is located in the heart of Tuscany, south of Siena, surrounded by beautiful hills dividing it from Lazio and Umbria.
