Our Story
Il Podere è costituito da tre casali,ristrutturati all’insegna della migliore tradizione toscana,con pavimenti in cotto, pareti in pietra lavorata, e travi a vista, ma senza trascurare il comfort ed il gusto più attuale.
A disposizione degli ospiti è stata creata una grande sala soggiorno e cucina comune.
Il Podere è un posto adatto a soggiorni individuali ed anche ad accogliere gruppi di famiglie di amici che desiderino privacy e autonomia ma anche l’opportunità di grandi spazi comuni dove cucinare e mangiare insieme.
L’arredamento ricercato e nello stesso tempo caldo e accogliente, riesce a trasmettere la piacevole sensazione di essere “a casa”,quella casa che tutti vorremmo avere, intima, rilassante e circondata da una natura meravigliosa.
Nel giardino la piscina è circondata da una grande terrazza solarium e in una zona ombreggiata è situata la grande zona pranzo e barbecue con tre grandi tavoli per 25 persone, fornello a gas tipo campeggio dove tutti gli ospiti possono
mangiare all'aria aperta durante la bella stagione.
La scelta di mobili e tessuti originali, e la sapiente opera di restauro restituiscono
all’ospite un’atmosfera di sincera ospitalità.
I Casali offrono una stupenda vista panoramica sui boschi delle colline casentinesi.
