Description

Podere Cantalena is a stone farmhouse of ancient origins that has recently been renovated. You will find it overlooking a lush valley, just outside the tiny village of Cantalena, about 15 km from the towns of Cortona and Castiglion Fiorentino, prosperous towns rich in history in the lower Valdichiana.
You can reach Cantalena, located at 600 metres above sea level, via a scenic, unpaved mountain road about 3 km long, winding through cool woods and green valleys. It is surely not recommended for sports cars, but it is nevertheless well passable with any other type of car, a somewhat challenging stretch that will, however, reward you in the end with absolute peace and quiet.

At Podere Cantalena you can enjoy a splendid infinity pool with Roman steps (size 10x5 metres, depth 1.50 metres - open from 01st May to 30th September); the panorama from the solarium area takes your breath away. Sinuous, high, wooded hills, gentle and undulating, slope towards the plains and cultivated areas of the Val di Chio, the gully that divides Castiglion Fiorentino from Cortona.

The property is completely fenced off and will therefore also be perfect for your four-legged friends. You will also have a barbecue and a wood-burning oven where you can prepare pizza and excellent Chianina meat grills to be enjoyed on the equipped terrace of the house, from which you can still admire the boundless view of the valley below.

In the days of our forefathers, the farmhouse was part of the ancient Podere Cerniera, which included cultivated fields, vineyards and chestnut groves, still cared for today by the owners of the house, who carry on the old family traditions.
Podere Cantalena is a true break from hectic everyday life. The stylish furniture that harks back to rural traditions and the atmosphere rich in history in which the house is immersed will provide the backdrop for your holiday in complete peace and relaxation and will be the perfect place if you want to take some quality time to spend with friends or family.

    Lovely stay

    Hello, I wanted to email you to let you know that we had such a lovely week at Podere Cantalena, it was a really gorgeous house and pool, everything was so comfortable, the owners were so very kind, they bought us pastries for breakfast and left them outside for us to find and also rescued us with great kindness when we managed to lock ourselves out of the house. The pool was gorgeous and so were the views, we have stayed in a quite a few houses in Tuscany but this is probably the best we have ever had, it was so new and beautifully clean, every detail was taken into account, we loved staying here and were all very sad to leave, we don't have anything bad to say at all!

    wunderschöner Urlaub

    Das Beste was wir bis Dato gemietet haben. Komplett und hochwertig ausgestattet, sehr saubere Unterkunft, top gepflegtes, weitläufiges und eingezäuntes Grundstück.Sehr sehr nette Vermieter mit super Service. Man sollte sich allerdings bewußt sein, dass die Unterkunft ruhig gelegen, auf einem Berg, umgeben von Wald, in einem Seitental liegt. Bis zu einem größeren Ort mit mehreren Restaurants und größerem Supermarkt benötigt man ca. 20min Fahrtzeit. Uns hat das nicht gestört, da man sich entsprechend organisieren kann und auch mit der schönen Outdoor Küche viele Möglichkeiten hat sich selbst zu verpflegen. Wir haben die Ruhe und die phantastische Aussicht über die bewaldeten Täler und Berge genossen. Das Stück unbefestigte Strasse bis zum Haus braucht niemanden abzuschrecken. Der Schotterweg ist in einem guten Zustand und auch breit genug damit 2 Autos aneinander vorbei kommen. Er ist mit jedem normalen PKw befahrbar und besser wie so manche geteerte Straße in Italien. Das vorhandene kostenlose WLAN ist leistungsstark und stabil, auch gibt es ausreichend Netzabdeckung.

    Bellissima proprietà

    La proprietà e' bellissima, veramente immersa in una natura I contaminata. Un plauso ai proprietari che sono persone veramente speciali e generose. Oltre alla bellezza del posto l'accoglienza ha trasformato il tutto in un bel sogno...fuori dal tempo...assolutamente consiiato e grazie ancora Siminetta ed Alvaro per la vostra disponibilità! Speriamo tanto di poter tornare perché difficilmente siamo stati in un posto così completo di tutto. Una nota speciale per l eccellente livello di pulizia e la casa molto accessoriata.

    Wirklich fantastisch

    Seit vielen Jahren besuchen wir das Land, wo die Zitronen blühen, immer im Juni. Noch keine Saison und die Tage sind sehr lang. Dabei ist uns wichtig, ein abgelegenes Haus möglichst auf einem Berg inmitten von Ruhe und Wärme zu finden. Das hat auch überwiegend gut funktioniert. Mal weniger, mal mehr. Dass wir dieses Jahr aber einen Volltreffer landen konnten, haben wir sofort beim Eintreffen bemerkt. Ein immer sauberer Pool mit Aussicht wie ein römischer Kaiser, ein gepflegtes Interieur in allen Räumen, ein Bett, wo man wie Zuhause schlafen kann ohne Quietschen und Rumpeln, außerordentlich gastfreundliche Vermieter, die wie die Heinzelmännchen den Pool und das Gelände pflegten sowie immer einen Korb mit Überraschungen hinterließen, Sonnenuntergänge besser als in Capri und ein gut gepflegtes Areal haben uns einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt beschert. Zum ersten Mal haben wir gemeint, hier kommen wir noch einmal her. Das gab es noch nie!! Die Anfahrt ist etwas staubig, dafür sind die umliegenden Orte sehenswert. Wir möchten uns auch hier nochmal für die außerordentliche Gastfreundschaft bedanken. Sicher wird Madame Simonetta diese Zeilen lesen und sich darüber freuen. Und: Man sieht sich immer Zweimal….!!!!
