The entire villa is perfect for hosting groups up to 18 guests and is generally rented as a whole to offer complete privacy to guests. Its ample outdoor areas and gardens make the perfect setting for wedding ceremonies and receptions, with a spacious indoor hall perfect for meals or for business meetings. Its central location near Siena makes the villa perfect for establishing a base to visit all of Tuscany, including Florence, Pisa, Siena and the Val d’Orcia.

Villa Podernovo is a large Tuscan villa with a swimming pool in the countryside just 7km (3.5 miles) from the captivating Abbey of San Galgano and a 5 minute walk into the town of Monticiano. You get the best of life at Podernovo, with the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside and the convenience of being able to walk to the local grocery store or restaurant. 

The villa has private parking and wide open, well-maintained lawns that are bordered by woods of secular oak and chestnut trees. The villa’s gardens are perfect for organizing wedding receptions and ceremonies: you can indeed have civil and symbolic weddings directly at the villa. The nearby San Galgano Abbey, with the Tuscan sky shining over participants, is also a popular site for civil ceremonies (you cannot do symbolic rites at the abbey). The Montesiepi Chapel near the abbey, famous for its sword in the stone, is perfect for religious ceremonies. The ground floor of the villa has a large common area that can host wedding parties indoors. It can also be set up to meet the needs of business groups that want a meeting hall.

Private villa with pool... or separate apartments perfect for couples & families

The villa is generally rented out as a whole to host weddings or groups up to 18 guests to stay at the villa. However, if the villa is available, the 5 apartments within can host from 2 to 10 guests, each with its own kitchenette, living area and bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The apartments, furnished in an elegant and modern Tuscan style, do not have their own private garden areas. Considering the ample gardens, guests can still easily find many areas outside to dine outdoors and to relax, especially by the swimming pool on the sun chairs and under the sun umbrellas.
