Podere Albereto
About the home
The 10 hectare estate of olive trees, fields and woodland is at 350 m above sea level. A spectacular view dominating the Florintine hills and even in the height of summer there is a gentle breeze in the evening so air-conditioning isn't necessary.
The property has been lovingly renovated by its owners, Fabio and Trinidad, to provide comfortable holiday accommodation with all the necessary modern facilities (SAT/TV, Wi-fi internet connection, fully equipped kitchens etc.) while retaining and enhancing the authentic Tuscan features such as wooden beams, stone and cotton flooring and brick-latice windows. A large barn has been completely refurbished and divided into two holiday homes. The IRIS apartment on the ground floor and Giaggiolo on the top floor.
The owners live in the main farmhouse and are always happy to provide information about what to see and do in Tuscany. Olive oil is produced and sold on the estate, and you can also admire the hand-crafted pottery and paintings created by Trinidad in her art workshop at the property.
