1 Bedroom Place in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina, Tuscany

Le Pietraie is a stone-walled farmhouse first built in 1600's, surrounded by a wonderful garden full of many typical and rare plants and shrubs, lovely at all times of year.
Olivo is an apartment isolated from the others, with a large terrace and a private garden among the olive trees. It has a large kitchen with table and chairs, a spacious bedroom with a double bed and a sofa bed for two people, a bathroom covered with white Carrara and yellow Siena marble. (55m2)
The house nestles in the beautiful Peacock Valley (Val di Pavone), encircled by fine woodlands, hills and meadows, and is like a terrace on the valley. The valley is home to a wide variety of animals, birds, butterflies and rare wild plants: snowdrops, hellebore, anemone, narcissus, cyclamen, wild orchids, primrose, brooms, wild cherry trees and arbutus unedo to name just a few. The Pietraia lies 300 m from the Peacock River (Pavone) where it is possible to bath, to swim, to make long walks in a wonderful canyon until you reach the confluence with the Cecina River. On our website you can see more photos of the garden, the Valley, the hills around Le Pietraie. The owners live on the first floor. They speak English,German, French and Italian. In case of health problems an English speaking family doctor is nearby.

Guest book: 2004: We had wonderful days cycling the many hills. active on the slow ascents. This is a very special place. B. Beerle , Anchorage, Alaska *** July 2006: We had an absolute great time staying at your place. You achieved a perfect combination of comfort and fine style, a superb mix of old and new at your property. We certainly like to return to Pietraia one day again. N. Bendin, Ottawa, Canada. *** August 2006 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your wonderful place. Set in a beautiful area, within driving distance of some fabulous sites; we could not have asked more. At times, it felt as though we were a million miles from anything/everything; and that is the way we we wanted it! It was totally relaxing! The Smith family, Louisiana, USA
Cities of art – thermal baths: According to the UNESCO, 60% of World's Heritage is concentrated in Italy, half of which is to be found in Florence alone! Florence is one hour from Montecastelli, Pisa 80 minutes, Volterra 40 minutes, Siena 40 minutes, San Gimignano 40 minutes, Colle Val d'Elsa 25 minutes, Lucca 1 hour 45 minutes, Castelnuovo Val di Cecina 15 minutes, Montecastelli 5 minutes, not forgetting the little discovered gem of Massa Marittima,45 minutes. But remember: the lesser known Medieval and Etruscan towns of Tuscany hold its real charm and beauty. Hundreds of churches, museums, art galleries, buildings, as well as street markets, shops and restaurants, hidden in narrow streets of little villages, are waiting for you to discover and explore them. Very old and beautiful thermal baths were you can relax yourself are 20 to 90 minutes far: Sasso Pisano, Bagno Vignoni, Petriolo, Casciana Terme, Venturina.
Tuscan wines, Tuscan olive oil, chestnuts: Around Montecastelli it is possible to find high quality wines at really reasonable prices, in Castelnuovo VC (15 minutes) there is a good Enoteca. Montalcino with its Brunello and Rosso is not far. It is possible to buy good olive oil in many villages. In Castelnuovo Val di Cecina there is in October a chestnut fair. In San Gimignano there is in November a Festival for finest olive oils (olio extra vergine). In Volterra you can find the local white truffles. During the early spring you can find wild asparagus along the paths. Three good local restaurants at very reasonable prices are 5 minutes from Le Pietraie, many others are in the nearby villages.

Summary: Our stay was wonderful, it was relaxing and peaceful, and with just a drive thru the beautiful countryside you could do just about anything you wanted. Great restaurants, winery’s , tourist stuff. We had a long trip in, Nedda made restaurant reservations for us just a short distant away. There we were in a hill top on on the balcony with a view of all views. Thank you Nedda for opening your property to us.

Summary: Lovely property and lovely people who were very welcoming and helpful. My stay was cut short due to work demands, but I was also tripped up by hot weather and discovering the area was not as rich in hiking trails as I had thought. Convenient location to visit Siena, Florence, Pisa and beaches but I had been to those places before. I was also supposed to be accompanied, which was annulled by the Covid crisis, and a 40-60 min drive to more interesting sites for tourism and recreation had thus lost much of its appeal. The house and garden are nevertheless wonderful, and I would go again if accompanied and during a different season of the year.

Summary: We had an amazing 4 nights at this property! Beautiful home and magical garden with the typical Tuscan charm and view we were hoping for. Our hosts, Nedda and her family, were so welcoming and made us feel at home. We highly recommend this gem!!! PS: make it down to the Pavone river and go for a swim... so worth it.

Summary: We stayed in Olivo (best of their three properties) for a week in October and it exceeded our expectations in every way. We were looking for a quaint and traditional Tuscan experience in the countryside and this place delivered. While not fancy, it is an amazing little cottage with the nicest family in the world running it. It is in the heart of the Tuscan countryside with a number of small villages nearby for exploring and Siena, Volterra and San Gimignano all within an hour (Florence about an hour and 20 minutes). We took evening strolls, cooked dinners, and sat and drank wine on the bench in our private garden, which just happens to be next an actual garden that Nedda and Gionatan graciously shared with us. Our hosts even took us to a couple private tours of boutique wineries. The entire family was beyond amazing. If you are looking for a true Tuscan experience where you can relax, enjoy the views and do some exploring, this is your place.

Summary: When you pull through the gates, the scene is everything you would imagine Tuscany to be. The fragrance of rosemary and grapes, the flowers and vegetable garden, the distant rolling hills — it is calming and serene. We love the proprietors — extremely friendly. And it is the FIRST rental that was as perfectly furnished as its old world exterior. We loved every minute and especially loved Buck the shepherd. Wonderful!

Summary: Oh my goodness me - this is the place I’ve been waiting all my life for! The accommodation is delightful, the garden is huge and so well maintained. Nedda had it professionally designed and it all flows beautifully. (Full access to the garden). We went with our dog and she loved the garden. We stayed during the World Cup and enjoyed watching the matches from the patio, with a glass of red. The owners are wonderful, friendly, hospitable and helpful while also respecting the space. The surrounding area is quiet rural Italy. There’s a hamlet/village 1.5 miles away with 2 restaurants and another village about the same distance the other way which is a bit bigger. Pisa is 1.5 hours away and Siena is 50 minutes. There’s a fabulous river about a 20 minute drive which is great for swimming (our dog learned to swim there!) and there’s a smaller river at the end of the driveway. The drive is pretty steep but very manageable. I would 100% recommend this beautiful place for a relaxing vacation. We’ll DEFINITELY be back!

Summary: What lovely memories we have of our stay in Olivo! It's perfect, from the way it's furnished.... to the views, the terrace and the gardens and ...the cherry on the cake is the lovely welcome you get, and the lovely chats with Nedda and Gionatan who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. It is so lovely that you want to enjoy it so we spent quite a lot of time there interspersed with little outings to the nearby hilltop medieval villages, and towns like Pomarance, Casole d'Elsa , Volterra, Monteriggioni and Siena of course (an absolute must!). Looking back we could have done without Florence which was far too crowded even in September. We spent 10 days in Olivo and had gorgeous weather for 9 of those days. We will be back!!! Thank you again Nedda, Gionatan and Matteo!
