Rated 9.9/10 by guests in 2026

Our holiday apartment Albegna is located at an altitude of 700 metres in the hills of the Maremma, in the south of Tuscany.

Albegna is one of three one-bedroom holiday cottages at Podere Sant'Angelo — a small, family-run property in the hills of southern Tuscany. The other cottages, Capitorio and Zolferate, share the same peaceful setting and are available to book separately.

This charming nature house combines modern comforts with traditional Tuscan style. The high ceilings, terracotta floors, and large windows create a bright, airy atmosphere. The characteristic brick kitchen with a natural stone sink and modern appliances invites you to prepare local dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Ideal for couples and small families who appreciate peace, nature, and the outdoors.

From the apartment, you can take beautiful walks directly from Podere Sant'Angelo, or explore the surrounding hills by e-bike (e-bikes are available for rent in Roccalbegna). French doors lead directly to your private garden with sun loungers and views over the Albegna Valley.

Under the spacious, covered 21m² veranda, you can enjoy a good glass of wine, a cozy meal, or a barbecue on the Weber grill as the sun slowly sinks behind the hills. In the evening, the view is enchanting: the silence of the countryside and a starry sky make this a place to truly unwind. The well-maintained Mediterranean garden at Podere Sant'Angelo, with its lavender, rosemary, and old roses, enhances the sense of space, tranquility, and nature.
