Castello del Poderetto

It’s a splendid spot and you’re well looked after. Enjoy breakfasts of homemade cakes, fruit, freshly baked rolls and good coffee at the huge dining table, or spill out through French doors onto the terrace with a fine gazebo and views. You’ll also find calming places to sit in the sheltered garden where you’ll hear the refreshing tumble of the river Tavarone. Dinners can be arranged by appointment with a local chef.

Three voluminous bedrooms are on the first floor, with soft colours, original Liberty style furniture and gorgeous views. Two are en suite and the other has a private bathroom, all are spoiling. You have the use of a lounge, and day room with comfortable chairs and sofas, so if the weather isn’t fine you can sit comfortably indoors with a book and watch the weather through beautiful windows.

You can swim in the mountain stream outside your door, walk to a good Agriturismo or drive three minutes to Monti for pizza.
