The owners of Podere Pietreta are a couple of industry managers who, when got into retirement, invested their savings to accomplish a lifetime dream: to purchase and restructure an old farmhouse in Tuscany. Visiting 'agriturismi' has always been their favorite hobby: in Podere Pietreta they leveraged their multiple travel experiences, furnishing and equipping the apartments with passionate style and care. Moreover, a very special wine, produced here, ages in Podere Pietreta’s cellar. The excellent extra-virgin olive oil produced here and the home-made marmalades are other testimonies of a great love of the owners for the Siena countryside. The best comment we expect from our guests? “We really feel at home here!”
