About this property

We're pleased to welcome you to a 300 year old stone barn on the Podere Sant'Angelo estate 700m high in the heart of Maremma.

Where once wine, cheese and cereals were stored, today you'll find our romantic holiday home 'Zolferate'. With its 50 square metres, a bedroom with a double bed, a fold-out armchair for one more person and a living area with sofa bed, it's perfect for couples or small families. For our smaller guests, we'll be happy to provide you with a cot and a highchair.

Zolferate has access to a private garden - a great place to while away lazy summer afternoons. At night the milky way stretches over the property and it's fun to see who can spot the most shooting stars.

Podere Sant'Angelo is special for its peaceful, tranquil location, great views, sunsets and lovely mediterranean garden.

Visit the
- hot springs at Saturnia

Absolute Ruhe in wunderschöner Natur

Vom Vermieter Graham wurden wir in hervorragendem Deutsch sehr freundlich empfangen, es macht Freude, mit ihm zu plaudern. Die Unterkunft ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es ist wunderschön auf der Terrasse zu sitzen, den Garten und die Aussicht und den herrlichen Lavendelduft zu genießen. In der Umgebung gibt es viele lohnende Ausflugsziele. Es war eine sehr schöne Woche!

Marvellous Maremma

The Podere Sant’Angelo farmhouse is in a beautiful spot in the remote, mountainous Maremma region of Tuscany. Its old barn has been charmingly converted into two apartments, each with its own terrace area. It was a great base for pottering around local mountain villages, all with long histories, and for walking and wildlife. We saw porcupines, martens, hares, wild boar, deer, and lots of interesting arthropods. We also went on some great excursions to the gentler Tuscan landscapes and wine and art towns of the Val d’Orcia, to Etruscan villages and necropoli on the Lazio borders, and to unspoilt beaches on the Maremma coast. Getting anywhere involved a long drive on narrow, winding roads - but this area is way off Tuscany’s beaten track and well worth the drive. The owner has lots of good restaurant recommendations!

Blissful retreat

Beautiful remote location. Airy, high ceilinged rooms, immaculately looked after. Very special garden clearly lovingly tended. Wonderful walking, especially to Rochette di Fazio and the truly excellent Trattoria Cacciaconti. Graham very friendly and helpful. A real retreat for people who want to get away from it all and enjoy La Maremma countryside.

The perfect place.

Podere Sant’Angelo is how you imagine your perfect holiday home should look. Comfortable house, great view from your terrace, lots of interesting things to do and see. Graham, your host is kind, very helpful and also very knowledgeable about villages to visit and restaurants and shops to go to in the neighbourhood. This part of Tuscany is less known, and there are far less tourist than for instance Florence or Siena.

About the host

Hosted by Graham Bradford

I grew up in the north west of England. After university studies in Scotland I left the UK to live and work in many different countries.
I've been enjoying life here at Podere Sant'Angelo now for over ten years and enjoy sharing my experiences of Maremma, where to eat and lovely places to visit, with guests.

Why they chose this property

Podere Sant'Angelo has wonderful views, and, as it faces west, enjoys amazing sunsets. The peace and quiet here have to be experienced to be believed and help all guests to relax and take on the slowed-down rhythms of the area. We're hidden away 700m high in the maremma hills, even during the hottest summer days we enjoy cool summer evenings.

What makes this property unique

This part of Tuscany is still off the regular tourist trail and, as such, offers a glimpse into life in Tuscany as it was 30 or 40 years ago. The small family run trattorie round about offer delicious home made cooking at very reasonable prices. The countryside isn't heavily farmed and there's an amazing variety of butterflies and insects in general to be seen here, the praying mantis is a favourite, as are the gekkoes that dart around the property in the summer months. There's no light pollution round here, guests often remark on the clarity of the night skies and the wonder of the Milky Way that stretches over the main house.
