Capitorio: quiet rural spot, aromatic garden, great views

We’re pleased to welcome you to a 300-year-old stone barn on the Podere Sant’Angelo estate, nestled 700 metres high in the peaceful hills of the Maremma, southern Tuscany.

Where once wine, cheese and cereals were stored, today you’ll find our romantic holiday rental “Capitorio.” With its 50 square metres, a double bedroom, a fold-out armchair for one more guest and a living area with a sofa bed, it’s perfect for couples or small families.

Capitorio has a traditional Tuscan interior with high ceilings, chestnut beams and a fireplace, creating a warm, authentic atmosphere. The centrepiece is a genuine “cucina in muratura” – a traditional brick-built kitchen with a stone sink and everything you need to prepare delicious Tuscan dishes.

Ideal for couples who love peace, nature and the outdoors. From Podere Sant’Angelo, you can set out on beautiful walks directly from the property or explore the surrounding hills by e-bike (available for hire in Roccalbegna).

Capitorio has access to a well-kept private garden with sun loungers – a wonderful place to relax, read or simply enjoy a lazy summer afternoon. After sunset, the Milky Way stretches across the sky above the estate – a magical sight, far from light pollution.

Podere Sant’Angelo is special for its peaceful setting, wide-open views, unforgettable sunsets and its Mediterranean garden planted with lavender, rosemary and old roses.
