History of Santa Valeria

Nestled in the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, Santa Valeria stands as a testament to a bygone era, its weathered exterior exuding rustic charm.

One of the few origianl podere with a front piccionaia, a double loggia, and  double arches.

Painstakingly restored to preserve its original features, the house welcomes visitors with a sense of history and warmth.

​

The 1789 podere’s terracotta roof tiles, weathered by centuries of sun and rain, evoke a sense of timeless beauty, while the sturdy stone walls exude a quiet strength that has withstood the test of time.

Weathered wooden beams stretch across the ceilings, each telling a story of centuries past. Terracotta floors, smoothed by generations of footsteps, add to the timeless ambiance.

​

In the heart of the home, a spacious farmhouse kitchen beckons with the aroma of freshly grilled bruschetta and simmering pots of homemade wild boar ragù, while a farmhouse table invites lingering conversations over deliciuos Chianti Classico.

 

Inside, antique furnishings mingle with modern comforts, seamlessly blending the past with the present.

From the charmingly worn staircase to the cozy ‘logge’ overlooking Siena and Monte Amiata, every corner of the podere whispers both history and tradition.

The windows frame picturesque views of the surrounding rolling hills, ancient olives groves, and cypress trees. Outside weathered loungers offer an idyllic setting to watch the sunset paint the sky in hues of orange and pink.

 

The gardens are a patchwork of vibrant colours and intoxicating scents. Eight hectares of lush vineyards sprawl across the landscape like a verdant tapestry, each row a testament to the artistry of viticulture.

Here, amidst the timeless beauty of the Tuscan countryside, Santa Valeria stands as a testament to the enduring allure of ‘la dolce vita’!
