La Poderina

The house was spacious and clean, with plenty of space for 8 people. The kitchen was great and the pool was perfect.

The property is absolutely amazing for the dream Tuscan holiday. We were there as a group of friends and couldn’t have asked for more. You have a beautiful pool (the view from there feels like you are in a movie), enough rooms for everyone, a nice big outdoor table, a good equipped kitchen so you can cook for yourself and super friendly hosts which live one floor above you (they don’t get in your way at all and at the same time are there to help if you need). You definitely need a car for the location as it’s quite secluded but that is the beauty of those tuscan villas. You can do some nice day trips from the villa and the good supermarket is around 15 min drive from the villa. All in all a perfect choice for a wonderful Tuscany trip with friends.

The pool was amazing and the highlight of our entire trip. We enjoyed how clean it was daily during our stay and the overall size was perfect for our family. The pool was also private to the surrounding area so we didn't need to worry about any neighbors. The house itself had plenty of rooms for our family including 2.5 baths. Cetona is a great location that's not too far south of Florence and about an hour to both Montepulciano and Siena. We were able to easily cover these two cities for day trips. There are also plenty of supermarkets and grocery stores within a 15-20 minute drive from the house. Communication with our hosts was easy with Whatsapp. They were welcoming, kind and provided us space to their property.

The kitchen had an assortment of pots, pans and utensils. However, it lacked good quality cooking ware such as a spatula and only one very dull knife. We also needed to go out and pick up some paper towels and basic oil, salt and pepper since none were provided for us. This was fine as we planned to shop and cook at the house. One of our showers had issues with a clogged drain during our stay as well that could be easily fixed. Because the house is more remote, cell service wasn't strong and wifi was spotty.
