Lovely rooms, newly renovated, very clean, cozy, comfortable beds. Very quiet, wonderful sleeping. Pool was not open when we were there but looked really nice. We were able to go for a nice walk in several directions, including through the vineyard from which we later drank amazing liquor and had jam with breakfast. Dinner was amazing, one of our best meals in Italy. Antipasti, gnocchi, chicken, dessert plus local wine and homemade liquor. Nicolas had been a chef in a five star restaurant and it shows. We let him know in advance that we don’t eat pork and he accommodated us very nicely. Breakfast included a wide and fabulous selection of pastries and homemade baked goods (thanks to his mother), coffee, blood orange juice. Nicolas made scrambled eggs with his magical seasoning salt. His father makes the bread. We were able to tell him the night before at what time we wanted breakfast. I had a great run along the dirt roads nearby, hilly, gorgeous. We would return in a heartbeat and will definitely send friends. This has been under new management since November 2017. Enjoy!!…
I stayed there with friends and enjoyed a great holiday! The farmhouse is beautiful, an old podere now restored and renovated with wifi, set in the countryside close to the river Ombrone. Breakfast was rich! Home made cakes, eggs and ham, coffees and juices, yogurt and jam. Very nice! Will definitely get back there!
A small piece of paradise hiding in the Tuscany hills 😊 We were welcomed by the host very kindly! The house, the food and the swimming pool; we love'd everything! You can visit some beautifull villages in the area. Or get some good rest at the house or the nice garden.
We had a wonderful stay! The room was spacious and very clean. The pool is large and well maintained. The food was excellent. Most important: the san stefano personnel was extremely friendly and helpful: from Margaux and Trudy to Fabio and most of all Sabrina & mom! Thank you so much for this great stay from Guy, Sara & Oscar!
We went to Podere Santo Stefano for a long weekend break in May. It exceeded our expectations at every step. The place is an authentic Tuscan country house, recently renovated to very high standards. The rooms are lovely, decorated with such a simple and classy taste like only the italians can do! Our room also had an incredible view of the valley underneath. The outdoor areas are all you can expect from Tuscany hills in spring: we had breakfast in the patio, overlooking the fantastic park that surrounds the Podere and the swimming pool (which they told us normally opens in mid April). The area around is full of things to do, but you'll definitely need a car. You have the seaside, winery tours, medieval castles and villages, and all sort of outdoor activities like horse riding and rafting, all well within one hour distance. The hand-made cooking of Mamma Patrizia, centered around the vegetables from the organic orchard, is the cherry on top on a truly unforgettable getaway! We are seriously considering going again for a longer period this summer!…
