Nespola at Poderone
Location address: Roccalbegna - Grosseto

Il Poderone is in the Maremma, an area of Southern Tuscany renowned for its original and wild landscapes. The hamlet Il Poderone consists of 9 independent villas each restored to an excellent standard.


There is an oval swimming pool located on one side of the property. It has excellent views of the surrounding hills and valleys dotted with prestigious villas and quaint towns.

Poderone lays in a beautiful position with excellent views of the rolling Tuscan hills and valleys around. There is free parking for all the guests of the hamlet within the property and there are no unpaved roads on the way to the location.

Hamlet Poderone is the perfect place from which to explore both the mountains and seaside. The coast offers gentle beaches, natural parks, fishing villages, resort towns all facing the clear waters of the Gulf of Argentario in the Mediterranean sea. The famous hot springs of Saturnia are thirty minute's drive away.Click here to see a story about the area in the Daily Mail.


Poderone is the ideal starting point for trips to the sea, Monte Amiata, the Southern wine country and the 'Tufo triangle' towns Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, all within a fifty-minute drive.

The Castello di Triana which can be seen from the hamlet is 6kms from the town of Roccalbegna. It sits on a rocky promontory and is enclosed by medieval stone walls, which are still in remarkably good condition. Outside the walls is the church of San Bernardino alla Triana. The castle is approxiamately 1km from the hamlet, so it is possible to walk there.


At Monte Amiata it is possible to go skiing during the winter and walking during summer.

Pool Info




The pool is located to one side of the property, nestled in a lovely sunny position with excellent views of the rolling Tuscan hills and valleys around. The setting is perfect for relaxing in the warm Tuscan sunshine.



The pool is shared between the villas and has a surrounding terrace furnished with sun beds; to one side there are changing rooms with showers and bathrooms. 
The pool is oval shaped. It is 14x4 meters and it is 1.30 meters to 1.60 deep and open from May to September.

 

In about 1 hour drive you arrive at the Marina di Grosseto which is a lovely seaside resort that has a peaceful setting between the evergreen pine forest and the sandy beaches in the very heart of the Maremma, near the northern border of the Natural Reserve of the Maremma in the Uccellina hills. Marina di Grosseto is less than one hour by car away from the "Tufo triangle" towns Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano, the well-known Saturnia Spa and from Montalcino, famous for its Brunello red wine. It offers a wide range of sport facilities: outdoor activities include riding, hiking, biking, fishing, rollerskating, windsurfing and tennis.From Roccalbegna it is possible to reach the beautiful Monte Argentario area in 1 hour.The extraordinary promontory of Monte Argentario with its small coves and bays, is considered by dedicated scuba divers to be one of the most interesting zones in Italy for the abundance of fish and a sea bed rich in coral and shells. It is a large and hilly promontory in southern Tuscany. The area has a nature reserve and some relatively unspoilt beaches. There are two pretty harbour/resort towns at Monte Argentario which make good holiday bases: Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole. Porto Santo Stefano is on the northern side of the promontory, and is the largest town. Porto Ercole faces south, and is a small and pretty harbour settlement.

Nearest town

Poderone is located 7km from Roccalbegna, 10km from Arcidosso, 18km from Saturnia and 60 from Siena. The town Roccalbegna is 5km from the property and has shops and restaurants.

Nespola
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.

Nespola
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
Date of Stay: November 2008
Nespola
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.
Date of Stay: March 2008

Nespola
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.

Nespola
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.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Unser Urlaub in der Toskana Poderone war einfach traumhaft und wunderschön.
Unser Haus Ciliegia war bestens ausgestattet und super schön. Auch vor Ort hatten wir keinerlei Probleme.
Mit ihrem Service waren wir sehr zufrieden und somit haben wir auch keine Verbesserungsvorschläge.
Vielen Dank
Marianne und Robert (Ciliegia)
Sehr geehrter Eigentümer von Ciliegia in Poderone,
wir möchten uns ganz herzlich bedanken für die Gastfreundschaft, die Sie den Mietern Ihres entzückenden Ferienhauses entgegenbringen.
Wir sind ein pensioniertes Lehrer-Ehepaar mit sehr viel Ferienhauserfahrung, aber wir haben es noch nie erlebt, dass in einem solch privaten Haus, das mit so viel Liebe und Geschmack eingerichtet ist, unbekannten (zahlenden) Gästen alle Annehmlichkeiten und Besonderheiten zur freien Verfügung stehen.
Ich als gerne kochende Hausfrau war vor allem von Ihrer Kücheneinrichtung begeistert und habe mit großer Lust und Freude all die Kochuntensilien, die ich selbst gar nicht besitze, benutzt und mich daran erfreut, wie z.B. endlich einmal die richtige Topfgröße für das vorschriftsmäßige Kochen von Pasta, dazu das passende Nudelsieb, herrlich große Pasta-Teller,  die diversen silikonbeschichteten Wender und Löffel, aber das absolute Nonplusultra: die elektrische Pfeffermühle mit Beleuchtung!
Das Wetter spielte in der Zeit, die wir Ihr Ferienhaus bewohnten ( vom 17. bis 26. Mai) leider gar nicht mit, wir saßen kein einziges Mal auf der Veranda und an zwei Tagen regnete es in Strömen und wurde so bitterkalt, dass wir schließlich die Heizung einschalten mussten. Wie froh waren wir, dass wir da gerade in Ihrem Haus wohnen konnten! Es war urgemütlich und wir fühlten uns dank der bestens funktonierenden Zentral-Heizung, prasselndem Kaminfeuer und wunderbar warmen Wasser, Handtuchwärmern und dem schönen großen
TV-Flachbildschirm noch wohler als zuhause!
Ganz herzlichen Dank!
Gerne möchten wir im nächsten Jahr wiederkommen!
Wir wünschen Ihnen, dass alle Mieter das Haus und seine Besonderheiten wirklich zu schätzen wissen und es entsprechend pflegen.
Mit den besten Wünschen für Sie und Ihre Familie und herzlichen Grüßen
Ursula Roseeu mit Ehemann Robert und Hündchen Ninja (Accommodation: Ciliegia)
Overall impression: Mela was excellent, but part of a larger development
Highlights: The children enjoying the swimming pools and meals out at more local restaurants rather than Chianti ones..more expensive and more tourists.
Unpleasant surprises: The children enjoying the swimming pools and meals out at more local restaurants rather than Chianti ones..more expensive and more tourists.
Richard  (Accommodation: Mela)
Overall impression: Very good indeed. Clean and smart. Great cooking facilities. wonderful gooker coffee making machine and fridge with icemaker. we had the pool pretty much to ourselves and it was cleaned evry morning. a lovely  quiet place to stay with wonderful views, on a clear day you  can see the sea.
Highlights: waking up to that lovely view every morning . Going for long walks and meeting no one at all. everyone we met was very friendly and patient with my bad Italian
Unpleasant surprises: Well, my parner did not enjoy finding a centepide in the bed. all the other surprises were pleasant though.

I like To Tuscany, partly because it has a tremendous range of villas, and partly because (unlike many companies) it has an excellent website that provides what you really want when choosing a villa.

Our accommodation, which cost less than £800 for the week, is in a converted stone farmhouse next to a 12th Century Franciscan chapel. There is a pergola shaded by vines round the back here we quickly settle into a rhythm of eating long pasta suppers while the shadows lengthen.
