Podere Sant Adele is a stylish and elegant villa for 10 nestled in the picturesque countryside just outside Cetona in southern Tuscany. It is a perfect base for exploring enchanting destinations like Montalcino and the Val d'Orcia, Lake Trasimeno and Orvieto, as well as slightly farther spots like Siena, Arezzo, and Florence.

This villa is also the perfect place to just relax and enjoy the private pool, or curl up with a good book in one of the many shaded spots in the garden. For meals there is a vegetable garden to provide fresh salads and vegetables, a chicken coop for fresh morning eggs, and a beautiful shaded pergola for al-fresco meals. If you'd prefer to leave the cooking to someone else, we can provide an excellent local cook to prepare delicious tuscan cuisine.

It sleeps 8 in the main house and 2 in the annexe by the house. Fully fenced, it's a private villa with wonderful, well-maintained gardens, perfect for family reunions, groups of friends, or even a romantic getaway.

If you are looking for a "classic Tuscan farmhouse" in a beautiful setting in Tuscany and perfectly situated to visit other parts of Tuscany, this villa would be a good match for you. It is well taken care of by the caretaker, Angela, who is a lovely person. It is a good villa for a group bc each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom.
However, the brochure describes it as "a stylish and elegant villa." It is not. All of the fixtures in the bathrooms and the kitchen are antiquated. All of the showers but one are European style meaning they are handheld. Europeans may be accustomed to these showers but Americans are not. There is only one shower where the shower head is attached to the wall. The hot water situation was problematic: some days we had none, some days we had enough for a few showers and in both cases, it was necessary to wait 5-10 minutes for the hot water to make an appearance.
The living room which should have been an inviting place to sit and chat, read, have drinks and appetizers, etc was severely compromised by the overly worn and uncomfortable furniture.
And last, but not least, the lighting throughout the villa is completely inadequate. When we came home after dark, we turned on every light in order to feel at home there. It is close to impossible to apply make up in the bathrooms due to the inadequate lighting.
Bottom line: if these shortcomings don't dissuade you, then this is a good rental property for the price.
