Great original Tuscan retreat iwith an stunning view over the hills from the pool area. Nice and pleasant family running the place and a perfect base for exploring Tuscany. Only small improvement is some of the beds which are a little hard.

My family and I had a fabulous week at Podere Monti. Federica and family were very warm and helpful, the pool was lovely and had the most beautiful view. The children enjoyed watching lizards, butterflies and crickets. Only downside were the less appealing wasps and mosquitoes! Casole D’Elsa is a lovely town and we enjoyed the restaurants, gelateria and pasticceria very much. Missing the Tuscan sunshine already.

Great complex of holiday lets with a gorgeous view

Federica was there to greet us despite our late arrival. The apartment was large, immaculate, and had everything we needed and more. Lots of thoughtful details, such as soap, toilet roll, salt, pepper, hand towel for the kitchen, and bedding and towel change at the end of our first week. The kitchen was well equipped for our holiday cooking with a beautiful space to sit outside and eat. There was a folder with lots of helpful information about the area. The pool was kept sparkling, and the whole area was lovely, with potted plants and a stunning view. It was a 20 minute nice walk to the village of Casole d'Elsa, which we did most evenings as it had a nice atmosphere, good restaurants and a number of musical events happening. Altogether we had a fantastic two weeks at Podere Monti, enjoyed by both us adults and our two daughters aged 10 and 11. We will definitely consider returning. Thank you to Federica and her parents for making us feel so welcome.
