We rented Podere Tresa for a family holiday (one week, 20 people). From the very first moment we were delighted by the property.
We especially liked:
- the location. On the hill, with fabulous views to all directions. Yet close to supermarket, restaurants etc (5-10 min drive).
- the multitude of sightseeing options nearby. Orvieto, Corona, Montepulciano, Val d’Orcia, Lago Trasimeno etc are all within 30-60 min drive. This is NOT a remote location, which helps a lot, i.e. If you want to spend hal of the day sightseeing, and the rest chilling by the pool.
- the large and beautifully located pool in the olive garden.
- various entertainment options for kids: boule, table tenis, game room etc.
- the magnificent view from the common kitchen towards nearby town; sunsets to remember!
The property is divided into 4/5 different apartments. They are quite ordinary, some spacious, others less so. Narrow spiral staircases might be problematic for small kids or elderly people, but there usually is a safer option. In the end, it really doesn’t matter, because you will spend 90% of the time outside or in the comon rooms.
We came as a Group of +20 people, yet it never felt crowded.
The communication with the host, Maria Laura, was faultless. She helped us to organize a dinner at the house, cooked by local restaurant chef, and was available for every energency.
Overall - fantastic place, 100% recommended!
