“Podernuovo offers a unique opportunity to see the real Italy in” Service: Alvina and Umberto are the perfect hosts, friendly and helpful, well-informed as to what to do and what to see. The accommodation: The villas are superbly appointed with every modern appliance, yet from the exterior they retain their rustic charm. All the windows overlook the vineyard and olive groves and the spacious terraces are the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Umberto's wine after a day of exploring. Location: Podernuovo is well situated to visit the many medieval villages Tuscany is known for. We have had 10 stays at Podernuovo and have enjoyed wonderful day trips to Collodi, the town of Pinocchio Pistoia, Sant'Antimo abbey, to listen to the monks Gregorian chant and Saturnina to luxuriate in the thermal baths. Alvina and Umberto's local knowledge also extends to the most novel and interesting restaurants in the region. The village of Castel del Piano is a 10 minute stroll up the hill and boasts excellent supermarkets, cafes and bars. What did we like best? My husband and I love everything about staying at Podernuovo as witnessed by 10 stays there! Perhaps however, the fact that it is truly unique Italian experience, 'off the beaten track' in a sense and in a place where tourists do not abound (and where villagers are friendly and welcoming), sets it apart from other villas we have stayed in. I simply can find nothing about Podernuovo that doesnt delight both of us. In fact, we are already planning our next visit for 2013.
