About this cottage rental
Il Poderino is a newly renovated former stable set in an olive grove in the small village of Valdibrana, just 9 km above the beautiful medieval city of Pistoia and only 30 minutes from Florence. Stylishly furnished apartment comes with a pool and has a modern, luxurious feel, it’s an ideal choice for a romantic getaway or a relaxed small-family holiday.
The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen and dining room, a comfortable living room with flat-screen TV, pellet burner and WiFi, and a stylish double bedroom with a flat-screen TV and the option to add a single bed. The modern bathroom has a large walk-in shower, and the property benefits from an efficient heat-pump system providing cool air in summer and warm air in winter.
French doors from the living area lead out to the newly landscaped garden, where the private pool sits among olive trees. The pool measures 13.5 × 5.5 m, with a depth ranging from 1.20 m to 1.50 m, and is open from mid-April to October. The owners’ family may occasionally use the pool but respect their guests privacy. There is a furnished outdoor patio for dining and relaxing, along with a BBQ area exclusively for guests.
Location
Valdibrana is a quiet village overlooking Pistoia, an underrated medieval gem with impressive town walls, a magnificent Duomo and Baptistery, the Duke’s Palace, excellent shopping, lively cafés and restaurants, and a weekly market. The area around the property is known for producing some of Tuscany’s finest olive oil, and the proprietor has won several awards for his — a lovely detail for olive-oil enthusiasts. Pistoia hosts several cultural events throughout the year, including the renowned Pistoia Blues Festival and the historic “Joust of the Bear”.
Pistoia is very easy to reach from the apartment by local bus (20 minutes) or inexpensive taxi, and from Pistoia’s station you can take a short, direct train to Florence, making day trips simple and stress-free.
Pistoia is well placed for exploring Tuscany’s art cities: Florence is around 30 km to the east, while Pisa and Lucca are an easy drive to the west. The Tuscan coast, including Viareggio, is roughly an hour away. Pisa and Florence airports are each about 60 minutes’ drive, and both cities have good rail links to Pistoia.

This was a joyful holiday stay. The apartment is spacious enough for two. And extremely well equipped. The location was delightful and surrounded by olive trees. The owner made the stay even better by being friendly, but not constantly 'checking on us'. There was the added bonus of the owner's dog wanting to sit with us while we sipped Tuscan wine in the shade in the afternoon. He wasn't 'in the way' he just wanted to be around humans. :-) The ONLY negative I can say is that the road up to the house is a very Tuscan mountain switchback road... and we'd rented a small SUV which was a tad 'tight' in spots. :-)

Frederica, her family and their dog are wonderful hosts. The house is charming, clean and well-equipped. We enjoyed the peace the place offers as well as its location nearby Florence, Prato, Lucca and others.
We definitely recommend this accomodation Frederica and family have created a ideal place to stay.
However, the instructions given by Friends of Tuscany were not clear. When we tried to call them they did not answer and have still to return our phone calls.

Nous avons vécu des vacances formidables. La région est superbe et beaucoup de lieux sont impérativement à visiter. D'un autres coté, l'hébergement était réellement formidable, spacieux, bien équipé, agréable et que dire de la piscine. Un réel bonheur.

Es ist ein zauberhafter Ort, an dem man nichts vermisst - man kann sich am Pool entspannen oder einen Ausflug nach Lucca, Siena, Florenz oder Pisa machen. Wenn man nur ein paar Minuten fahren möchte, findet man auch in Pistoia sehr hübsche, kleine Restaurants mit super leckerer hausgemachter Pasta. Wir waren schon mal hier und wir werden auch wiederkommen.
Federica ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die auch wegen der kleinsten Kleinigkeit sofort zur Stelle ist und auch immer gute Essenstipps hat.
