Rated 9.9/10 by guests in 2026
We’re pleased to welcome you to a 300-year-old stone barn on the Podere Sant’Angelo estate, set 700 metres high in the peaceful hills of the Maremma, southern Tuscany.
Where once wine, cheese and grain were stored, today you’ll find our romantic holiday rental “Zolferate.” 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.
Zolferate has a traditional Tuscan interior with high ceilings, chestnut beams and a fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In the living room, there’s a well-equipped kitchen corner with everything you need to prepare simple Tuscan meals.
Zolferate is the most private of our three holiday rentals – a peaceful hideaway surrounded by nature. The private garden is equipped with sun loungers, the ideal place to relax, read, or enjoy a quiet afternoon in the sun.
Podere Sant’Angelo is a haven for couples who love nature, tranquillity and the outdoors. From the estate, you can set out on beautiful walks through the surrounding hills, or discover the area by e-bike (available for hire in nearby Roccalbegna).
After sunset, the Milky Way stretches across the night sky above the property – a mesmerising sight, far from artificial light.
Podere Sant’Angelo stands out for its peaceful location, sweeping views, colourful sunsets and lovingly maintained Mediterranean garden filled with lavender, rosemary and old roses.

Zolferate accommodates two adults and one child (up to 12 years). A cot and high chair are available for younger guests.
Your host lives on site and will personally welcome you in English and is happy to share local tips, walking suggestions and restaurant recommendations.
Good to know: Podere Sant’Angelo lies off the main road network. The holiday home is reached after about three kilometres on a well-maintained strada bianca – an unmade gravel road typical of the Tuscan countryside, ensuring peace, privacy and authentic rural charm.

Kleine Oase
Graham, Oktober 2025 Wir waren mehr als zufrieden! Das schöne Haus die geschmackvolle Einrichtung.Es hat alles was es braucht. Garten und Umgebung wunderschön. Wir können es nur empfehlen und kommen sicher gerne wieder wenn wir in die Toskana gehen. Graham der Gastgeber lässt nichts zu Wünschen übrig ! Michèle und Andreas
Vielen Dank Michèle und Andreas! Es freut mich sehr, dass ihr euren Aufenthalt, den Garten und die Umgebung so genossen habt. Schön, dass ihr die Südtoskana wiederentdeckt habt – ich hoffe auf ein Wiedersehen!
Beautiful estate
We would like to thank our very friendly host Graham for the three heavenly weeks in cottage Zolferate. His estate is beautiful. Lots of privacy in our own garden, with the most beautiful flowers, herbs and butterflies. Everything we needed was available. He also had useful tips for nice trips in the area. We will miss the serene tranquility on his estate. Arrivederci, and we'll meet again. Wim en Ilona
Ilona and Wim, thanks for being such wonderful guests. Your knowledge, love and expertise about nature, insects and plants helped me to learn a lot about my surroundings here at Podere Sant'Angelo. I'm already looking forward to welcoming you both here again - very soon, I hope! Graham
The world is peaceful hier
The house is perfect to have a relaxed holiday. Located in the countryside, very cozy and clean. Bedroom is amazing, spacious and comfortable. The house has a fireplace, which makes the house specially comfy and warm at night. The bathroom is very clean, and we loved the high quality of towels available. I definitely recommend this property to everyone willing for peace and quiet surrounded by the mountains in the Tuscany countryside. My special thanks to Graham, for his kindness and for his promptness, providing us with a barbecue.
Our stay met all our expectations and even more
Fantastic place. The view from the terrace asked for a good painter. And the incredible silence we wanted after living in a big city for a year. A friendly and helpful owner who can always advise you is a great advantage of this place.
Naturerlebnis pur bei sehr nettem Gastgeber
Sehr schöne Lage in einer herrlichen Natur. Absolut Ruhig, ein echtes Hideaway! Ein sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Toller Blick, schönes Rustiko.
Sommerurlaub August 2022
Eine kleine feine Ferienwohnung, mit allen was für einen entspannten Urlaub notwendig ist. Wir haben sehr viele Anregungen für Ausflüge vor Ort, durch Gespräche mit dem Vermieter erhalten. Wir kommen sicher einmal wieder.
Séjour chez Graham
Nous avons apprécié ce séjour. Maison très agréable, environnement très calme et reposant , hôte très disponible , sympa et très discret.
Quaint, restful, beautiful, comfortable with a perfect location for a real Tuscan experience
We began our vacation with one week here. The cottage was perfectly appointed in an idyllic landscape of rolling hills, charming hill towns, fantastic restaurants, and a gracious and helpful owner. We will definitely return! Thank you so much Graham! Your new American friends, Craig and Marhya
Starry starry night in Tuscany
We had a very pleasant stay - lovely apartment, helpful and friendly owner and amazing views of the Tuscan hills. the only problem was that it was too short - only one night. But what a night! I've never seen the stars so clearly - the Milky Way was very visible. We'll be back!
Unforgettable stay in deepest Tuscany
Podere Sant'Angelo is located in the Maremma district of Tuscany, surrounded by stupendous scenery. The cottages are comfortable and tastefully decorated with outdoor patios for sunbathing, star-gazing or watching the sunset. There are trails around the property for wildlife enthusiasts (we saw deer, eagles and a wild boar). If you can tear yourself away from the apartment and beautiful garden, you can visit medieval villages nearby and relax in the hot springs of Saturnia. thank you Graham. We had a wonderful stay.
