Our biggest regret was that we could not stay longer. Our time at Podere Salicotto was fantastic. We were so welcomed and made to feel so comfortable and relaxed. As for the location- it is stunning. We had friends stay a week after us and didn't let on just how good it was so that they would get to experience... More

My wife and I just spent five nights at Podere Salicotto, and it was a wonderful experience.  The property is on the top of a hill and has great views of the Tuscan countryside. The owners, Silvia and Paolo, are excellent hosts.  The breakfasts were among the best we have had in 25 years of traveling.  Silvia makes the bread... More

We are about to enjoy our fourth visit to Podere Salicotto and feel as excited about it as our first time. The situation is superb, Sylvia and Paolo are kind hospitable people, and Salicotto is a credit to them. Nothing seems too much trouble - mention a perceived problem and within minutes a map/schedule/or instructions are flourished for decision making.... More

We stayed here in June 2010, picture postcard views 360 degrees! It was so peaceful and relaxing, the scenery absolutely stunning. Silvia and Paolo were excellent hosts, with numerous suggestions, and wonderful hospitality. Wine cellar was enjoyed thoroughly. Location was a perfect base for sightseeing and Paolo took us on a great wine tasting tour. Accomodations were excellent. Rooms were... More

Dear Sylvia and Paolo- Tatiana and I write to say 'thank you very much' for putting your heart, soul and wallet into your wonderful place.

We smile and say 'thanks' for investing... More

You are right in the middle of a treasure trove of sight seeing possibilities and it is a foodies delight. So go, relax, enjoy and scan the... More

OK, so this place is just too amazing to keep a secret. People think I am crazy when I tell them about this gem - like I am trying to convert them to some mystical religion. Seriously - it does seem too good to be true - but in May I returned for my second visit - this time with... More

We have not even left this little piece of heaven on earth and already am dreading our re-entry into the real world! Upon arriving from a long and winding road trip from Volterra we were greeted by a spectacular picture of an incredibly beautiful Tuscan villa perched upon a hill. This was my image of Tuscany and it did not... More
