Podere Tepolino: among olive trees, quiet and Monte Amiata
Nestled among olive and chestnut trees, enveloped in absolute tranquility, free from light pollution, and just a 5-minute drive from Castel del Piano, Podere Tepolino is the perfect retreat for total relaxation and for exploring the beauty of this wild corner of Tuscany: hiking on Monte Amiata, wine tastings in Montalcino and Pienza, wellness at the nearby thermal baths of San Filippo, San Casciano ai Bagni, Petriolo, or Saturnia, and motorcycle tours. An atmosphere that inspires contemplation, writing, and creativity.
The Space 👋 Welcome to Podere Tepolino, an old stone house dating back to the 1800s, nestled in a large park filled with olive trees, oaks, and fruit trees, and home to horses, dogs, cats, and chickens.
🚗 Just a 5-minute drive from Castel del Piano, time slows down here: you can go hiking and take dawn walks along the trails of Monte Amiata, explore mountain bike routes, taste the finest wines of Montalcino and Pienza, relax at the Saturnia thermal baths, and much more.
🌄 After your adventure, return to the renovated home with its spacious, light-filled rooms: reading nooks, lounge chairs, and a panoramic veranda welcome you. Modern comfort and unspoiled nature for a holiday that nourishes both body and spirit.

The garden features a built-in barbecue area, and the park in front of the house is available for sunbathing, outdoor lunches and dinners, or yoga sessions. You can also paint or write outdoors, inspired by the landscape, and gaze at the stars in the evening—perhaps wrapped in a blanket with a good glass of wine—while fireflies light up the night around you.
🛌 Bedrooms The two suites feature queen-size beds, custom-built closets and shelving, and are equipped with hypoallergenic, temperature-regulating bedding made from premium Italian-made bamboo satin for a restful night’s sleep.
