Stylish 1-Bedroom Apartment in olive grove with Pool Near Pistoia and Florence
Il Poderino is a newly renovated former stable set in an olive grove in the small village of Valdibrana, just 9 km above the beautiful medieval city of Pistoia and only 30 minutes from Florence. Stylishly furnished apartment comes with a pool and has a modern, luxurious feel, it’s an ideal choice for a romantic getaway or a relaxed small-family holiday.
The apartment has a well-equipped kitchen and dining room, a comfortable living room with flat-screen TV, pellet burner and WiFi, and a stylish double bedroom with a flat-screen TV and the option to add a single bed. The modern bathroom has a large walk-in shower, and the property benefits from an efficient heat-pump system providing cool air in summer and warm air in winter.
French doors from the living area lead out to the newly landscaped garden, where the private pool sits among olive trees. The pool measures 13.5 × 5.5 m, with a depth ranging from 1.20 m to 1.50 m, and is open from mid-April to October. The owners’ family may occasionally use the pool but respect their guests privacy. There is a furnished outdoor patio for dining and relaxing, along with a BBQ area exclusively for guests.
Location
Valdibrana is a quiet village overlooking Pistoia, an underrated medieval gem with impressive town walls, a magnificent Duomo and Baptistery, the Duke’s Palace, excellent shopping, lively cafés and restaurants, and a weekly market. The area around the property is known for producing some of Tuscany’s finest olive oil, and the proprietor has won several awards for his — a lovely detail for olive-oil enthusiasts. Pistoia hosts several cultural events throughout the year, including the renowned Pistoia Blues Festival and the historic “Joust of the Bear”.
Pistoia is very easy to reach from the apartment by local bus (20 minutes) or inexpensive taxi, and from Pistoia’s station you can take a short, direct train to Florence, making day trips simple and stress-free.
Pistoia is well placed for exploring Tuscany’s art cities: Florence is around 30 km to the east, while Pisa and Lucca are an easy drive to the west. The Tuscan coast, including Viareggio, is roughly an hour away. Pisa and Florence airports are each about 60 minutes’ drive, and both cities have good rail links to Pistoia.
