Podere Ferranesi, an authentic nineteenth-century country house, is the ideal base to enjoy all the ingredients of a wonderful holiday in the heart of Tuscany (30km from Siena). The "podere" has been carefully renovated by the Belgian owners respecting the original Tuscan style and is simply stunning with its modern, luxurious and minimalist interior. The owner is a well-known architect which you can see clearly in the design and décor of the home.
The owners have divided the large country house into four "units" that they rent together. Each home is named after an Italian movie: La Vita è Bella (8 p), Il Postino (2 / 3p), La Dolce Vita (2 / 3p), La Strada (4-6p) and Una Giornata Particolae (2p).
