Podere Pianella

Just a short walk from the historic center of Castel del Piano, Podere Pianella welcomes guests into an ancient Tuscan residence set amidst greenery at the foot of Monte Amiata. Tastefully restored with respect for tradition, the house retains the warmth of country living: warm-toned walls, wooden furnishings, and spacious, bright areas that invite relaxation.

The garden, surrounded by fruit trees and fragrant wild herbs, serves as a peaceful retreat for reading, resting, or simply enjoying the silence. Inside, a well-equipped kitchen and a living room with a fireplace create an intimate and familial atmosphere, while the outside world offers the rhythm of nature with opportunities for woodland walks and sunsets over the hills.

Francesca, who lives on the property with her family, warmly welcomes those who choose to stay in her home. She works as a nurse and dedicates her free time to gardening, cooking, and foraging herbs to create aromatic teas. A certified reflexologist and currently training as a counselor, she combines her hospitality with a genuine focus on inner well-being, offering a warm welcome characterized by attentiveness, simplicity, and authenticity.

Breakfast, served according to the season, includes fresh fruit, wholegrain bread, local honey, and homemade jams, allowing guests to start their day with the genuine flavors of the Tuscan countryside.

Castel del Piano is located in a charming area, nestled between the woods of Monte Amiata and the gentle hills leading down to the Maremma. The surroundings offer a wide range of nature trails and villages to explore, such as Seggiano, Arcidosso, and Santa Fiora, as well as the famous thermal baths of Bagni San Filippo, Bagno Vignoni, and Saturnia. In less than an hour, one can also reach the beaches of the Tyrrhenian Sea, making Podere Pianella an ideal starting point for exploring the authentic Tuscany, where nature, wellness, and tradition harmoniously come together.
