Description
Property Summary
Nestled near a nature reserve in the heart of Tuscany, Podere Santa Croce is an exceptional vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside. Situated within a wooded area surrounding Radicondoli, a panoramic village to the east of the province of Siena, Italy, this beautifully restored stone farmhouse offers an authentic retreat immersed in nature. The property is embraced by a verdant landscape of oaks, holm oaks, and poplars, creating a serene and private atmosphere ideal for long walks and quiet contemplation. Comprising a main farmhouse and an adjoining annex, Podere Santa Croce has been skilfully renovated using original materials integrated with local handcrafted elements, preserving the character and soul of traditional rural architecture. The property extends over a terrain of 1.7 hectares, offering generous outdoor space and a sense of complete seclusion. A private parking area accommodates up to 6 uncovered vehicles as well as 1 car in a covered garage, ensuring convenient arrival and departure. Wi-Fi internet connectivity is available throughout the property, keeping you connected whenever needed. The surrounding yard, rich with aromatic herbs, cultivated gardens, and natural woodland, completes this idyllic picture of countryside living at its finest.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces at Podere Santa Croce are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape, offering a harmonious blend of cultivated beauty and natural wilderness. The grounds surrounding both the farmhouse and the annex are partly natural, with oaks and poplars providing pleasant shaded areas, and partly cultivated with oleanders, helichrysum, rosemary, and laurel. Paved terraces, particularly the generous one situated between the main house and the annex, are perfectly suited for setting up long tables for convivial al fresco dining and shared moments. Ground floor rooms open directly onto the garden, where large furnished terraces allow you to soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding countryside. The property is accessed via a dirt road that leads directly into the estate, and the parking area, located behind the house in a secluded section of the property, includes a partly covered garage for 1 car and uncovered spaces for up to 6 vehicles. The garage also serves as a storeroom equipped with a chest freezer and a laundry area. A dedicated storeroom beneath the swimming pool houses the pool's technical equipment as well as farm tools and machinery.
The non-heated swimming pool is a focal point of the outdoor experience, positioned 30 metres from both the farmhouse and the annex on a terrace paved with terracotta and partially enclosed by fragrant hedges of laurel, oleander, rosemary, helichrysum, and lavender. Rectangular in shape and measuring 16 x 8 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.50 to 2.50 metres, the pool is lined in PVC and features chlorine purification and internal lighting. A solar shower is available poolside for your convenience. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, with access times from 8 am to 7 pm. A few metres from the house, a beautiful heated hot tub designed for 5 people is available and open all year round, offering a luxurious complement to the outdoor relaxation experience. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
