‘Podere Le Serre’ stands out in a natural environment in the Southern Tuscany, nearby Roccalbegna, in the district of Grosseto. It’s a hilly place – at a height of 500 meters. You can do every kind of sports and leisure activities.

At the farmhouse we run funny courses and interesting workshops on Nature, agricultural techniques, arts & crafts, publishing, watercolours, creative writing. We offer also an Italian Language course for foreign people.

On Monte Amiata you can enjoy trekking and you can ski in winter. You can ride or simply go walking around. In Summer you can go swimming in Tirreno Sea, reaching the coast of Argentario. There are many pine forests where you can relax. You can go on birdwatching: we join the European Project “Save the Flyers”.

Podere Le Serre is a “casale”, a traditional mansion. The building was made up of local stone; the whole estate consists of a park, an oliveyard, an orchard, a wood, two ponds. The house has large arcades and a panoramic terrace.

nina

A nice place but poorly maintained. We stayed in the quadruple room, which was very dirty, and the bathroom was extremely dirty. Inside, there is a strong smell of dampness. It needs a good cleaning, I am sorry.

stayed from 11/01/2024 to 11/02/2024

The answer from the host:
Ci dispiace molto che non vi siete fermati, avete detto per motivi di salute, ospitavamo il convegno degli astrofili, studiosi molto cortesi. Le persone stanno bene in armonia con la natura, con gli altri. Sembravate contenti anche voi. Per il resto, c'era appena stata l'alluvione in questa parte della Toscana, è un casale antico, le mura impiegano tempo. Un saluto

claudio

We only stayed one night at Podere Le Serre, but we can say we had a wonderful evening in the company of Margherita. The owner of the agriturismo was the icing on the cake for her friendliness, with extensive knowledge of many subjects, and it was a pleasure to converse with her. The candlelit dinner in a silence that is hard to find completed the experience. Our dog was also very happy, just like us. Goodbye Margherita, we hope to return. Claudio and Stefania.

stayed from 08/14/2023 to 08/15/2023

The answer from the host:
Ciao Claudio e Stefania, è stato simpaticissimo fare due chiacchiere tra di noi e poter brindare col nostro calice in mano sul far del crepuscolo nella selvaggia Maremma..! speriamo di rivederci per raccontarci ancora un po' delle nostre vite e condividere lo spirito della vera amicizia, e un saluto al cane :-)

elena

A farmhouse in the middle of nature and a unique welcome, Podere Le Serre in my opinion is a true agriturismo, where you eat excellent dishes in the company of stories and laughter, listen to the animals in silence, has a great location to visit Maremma and then... there's Margherita who makes you feel not a guest, but a friend! Thank you for these two very pleasant days from Elena and Graziano.

stayed from 04/29/2023 to 05/01/2023

The answer from the host:
Ciao cari Elena e Graziano!, Finalmente riesco a collegarmi per scrivervi e inviarvi un affettuoso abbraccio, dopo la vostra partenza è iniziato un periodo di piogge in pratica continue (e io che volevo dipingere i muretti...) e di scarse connessioni telefoniche e internet (:-) che solo ora mi pare volgere al termine. Piogge carine, primaverili, rinfrescanti, tutto bene, meno male! Ora sembra l'Irlanda!, grazie della vostra compagnia, e speriamo di rivederci, un abbraccio a entrambi

serena

We stayed at this beautiful Podere Le Serre during the May 1st bridge and how to describe it in a simple word: home! Yes because if you are looking for tranquility, simplicity, and the company of a wonderful person, this is the right place. Thank you Margherita also for your cooking, much appreciated. Serena.

stayed from 04/30/2023 to 05/01/2023

The answer from the host:
Ciao Serena, grazie a te, anzi a voi, che zaino in spalla avete smaltito le colazioni e le cene andando su e giù per la stradina campestre "pedibus calcantibus", come dicevano gli antichi Romani! E' un piacere per me vedere che esistono persone capaci di apprezzare la natura (e la vita) selvaggia a contatto con la Natura! Un abbraccio a te e a Ottavio

sara

The room is located in a very quiet place. Margherita has always been kind and available for any questions. We had four beautiful days.

stayed from 04/06/2023 to 04/09/2023

The answer from the host:
ciao Sara, siete stati bravissimi a venire a trovarmi, è sempre un piacere fare due chiacchiere in amicizia, Grazie e baci a tutti!

andrea

Everything was great... the place in the middle of nature, the kindness and helpfulness of Margherita, the breakfast. The only thing I underestimated is the last bit of road to get there is made of stones and gravel downhill... on the way there everything was fine. On the way back uphill the car lost grip at one point and I got stuck. Margherita was ready to help us by also calling a tractor to tow us... then after trying hard we managed without the need for the tractor. So if you have a 4x4 car and a bit high no problem (I had a very low new Toyota Auris) otherwise park at the top of the hill and walk a bit.

stayed from 06/26/2020 to 06/28/2020

The answer from the host:
ciao Andrea, mi ricordo della Toyota Auris nuova e molto bassa :-) ... della serie "Avventure in Maremma"...prossima volta, se verrai di nuovo, una bella passeggiata, oppure una piccola jeep! Grazie e un caro saluto

andrea

Podere Le Serre is located in a very unique setting, immersed in nature among the hills of Maremma. It offers the opportunity to relax or focus by taking walks among olive trees, fruit trees, and ancient oaks in total silence. The location is also convenient for visiting the most beautiful centers of Maremma and the Val d'Orcia. Margherita is a perfect host and an extraordinary cook, her knowledge of the area was important in discovering places and beauties that I didn't know. I chatted very willingly with her, she is a very sensitive and cultured person who manages to immediately put guests at ease. I was sorry to leave!

stayed from 10/31/2022 to 11/03/2022

The answer from the host:
Ciao Andrea, abbiamo parlato un po' di ogni cosa, arte cinema musica viaggi società linguaggi letteratura, vita insomma, e a proposito, mi è venuto in mente che nel libro medievale, quello per le scuole, c'è molto spazio sul Monferrato! Una coincidenza a cui non avevo pensato mentre ne discutevamo l'altra sera. Hai colto il senso di questo luogo, ne sono contenta, grazie. Ti mando un saluto da questa "selvatica" Contea

chiara

A real surprise. A wonderful place for those who love nature and tranquility, we even got to know a deer up close who now always comes to Podere Le Serre. Margherita made us spend unforgettable hours and we would have chatted with her for hours and hours, a very cultured woman and incredibly friendly. We dined with her and felt at home, a super genuine cuisine at a very low cost. We hope to return in another time of the year with much more calmness and if we manage to go on excursions; nearby there is also the WWF reserve. Highly recommended.

stayed from 08/21/2022 to 08/22/2022

The answer from the host:
Ehi Chiara, ciao! Che belle cose che hai scritto, mi suscitano davvero un gran piacere, è stato bello conoscerci, stare un po' insieme, e sono contenta che abbiate proprio capito il senso di questo posto un po' selvaggio! Dici che dovrei aumentare i prezzi dei miei piatti? :-) Ridere. Bello anche ridere, direi. Vi abbraccio tutti quanti

monica

A place to conquer that conquers you. For those who love contact with nature, silence, sharing a place with those who live there. In a magical area to visit.

stayed from 08/13/2022 to 08/18/2022

The answer from the host:
Ciao Monica, è stato un vero piacere condividere con voi luci, colori, paesaggi, suoni, silenzi, chiacchiere, cibi! Un abbraccio

silvana

The lady was helpful and welcoming. Beautiful location, surrounded by nature. There are 300 meters to walk to reach Podere Le Serre, but in return there is a lot of tranquility.

stayed from 06/26/2022 to 06/27/2022

The answer from the host:
ciao Silvana, è sempre bello ritrovarsi con il senso dell'amicizia e il contatto con la natura, grazie davvero e a presto, speriamo

fabio

Very beautiful location, immersed in nature. Perfect location for those seeking tranquility and relaxation. It's also particular to reach the structure because unless you have a 4x4, you have to walk a stretch of steep dirt road, but it's worth it because you're immersed in nature and the Maremma hills. Mrs. Margherita is a very welcoming and cultured person, as well as having great insights. She recommended a nice tour to do in the truly characteristic surroundings. Great cook, delicious dinner. Thank you Margherita.

stayed from 10/30/2021 to 10/31/2021

The answer from the host:
Ciao Fabio, siete dei veri amici, ritrovarsi un po' a chiacchiera è sempre bello, a presto.

laura

We only made a one-day stop and we had a great time. Margherita is a very welcoming and sociable person. We had a great and plentiful dinner. The landscape is enchanting. The place is secluded and suitable for both relaxation and living in nature. We felt at home.

stayed from 08/28/2021 to 08/29/2021

The answer from the host:
Ciao Laura, è stato un piacere avervi ospiti, un gruppetto famigliare così affiatato, così a proprio agio nella Maremma selvaggia! Un caro saluto a ciascuno di voi, Margherita.

mica

Podere Le Serre itself is a great place if you want to rest in tranquility immersed in nature. The rooms are cozy, but the bathroom is not inside the room but next to it. The breakfast is plentiful with delicious jams made by the landlady, bread, butter, cake, cookies, etc., all prepared with great care. The welcome is excellent and Mrs. Margherita is available for everything. If you want to go to the thermal baths or the Mulino waterfalls, the location is not ideal because it is distant. It is advisable to go with a 4x4 because the road that leads to the farm is very rough and has a steep downhill stretch, but Margherita is available to pick you up and take you down.

stayed from 09/07/2020 to 09/08/2020

The answer from the host:
Ciao Mica Nica, sarete a quest'ora già rientrati, quindi "Bentornati a casa", Welcome Home. È stato un piacere avervi qui come ospiti, sono contenta che vi siate trovati bene in quest'angolo così selvaggio della Maremma! Un saluto a tutti quanti da Margherita.

Ciao Giorgio, un saluto al piccolino tanto carino!

elisa

Excellent hospitality, atmosphere, and the structure located in a remarkable landscape. A corner of paradise managed very well. The only slightly critical aspect, as we were rightly informed at the booking, is the accessibility: it is better with a suitable car (4x4) due to the final steep stretch of road.

stayed from 08/14/2020 to 08/16/2020

Ciao Elisa, speriamo di rivederci. Sono contenta che abbiate apprezzato questo angolo selvaggio di Maremma! Un caro saluto a tutti.

maurizio

Unique location. Inspires a sense of absolute tranquility and freedom. The managers are exceptional to say the least. They cook in a sublime way and eat together with the guests gathered around the same table. Four chats and laughs together. Beautiful. Exceptional value for money. I will definitely come back.

stayed from 04/27/2018 to 05/02/2018

The answer from the host:
Cari Maurizio e Monica, siamo davvero contenti che abbiate condiviso con noi lo "spirito del luogo" e apprezzato la natura e il paesaggio, da parte vostra poi che conoscete benissimo la bellezza di boschi, prati, alberi, spazi incontaminati. È stato bello godere con voi le prelibatezze del nostro territorio e trascorrere un po' di tempo insieme conversando, ridendo, scambiandosi opinioni su tante cose. Vi auguriamo un ottimo rientro e vi inviamo di cuore un caro saluto! Marghertita e Antonio.

carlo

Gathering the family for a weekend, we occupied the entire B&B Podere Le Serre. The farmhouse is nestled in nature. The rooms are spacious, and in two of them, the bathroom is external but private. Margherita and Antonio were wonderful, present but discreet, ready to give advice on what to visit, always available for a chat. We booked for the evening of arrival, and after the first two courses, we decided to dine there also the following evening. The dinners were amazing, excellent and plentiful dishes, using excellent local products and vegetables cultivated in the surrounding lands of the farmhouse. The desserts were simple but good, some bought and others made by them. With 10 people, four dogs, a girl, they tolerated and satisfied us without ever saying anything and always with extreme kindness. Thank you.

stayed from 03/09/2018 to 03/11/2018

The answer from the host:
Ciao Carlo, siamo davvero contenti che questa occasione per ritrovarvi insieme per un weekend qui presso di noi sia stata una bella esperienza, da parte nostra abbiamo colto la vostra contentezza di stare insieme e di condividere i sapori dei nostri piatti e le ricette che amiamo, è stato bello ospitare una riunione famigliare così allegra! Grazie a voi per la compagnia e per la conversazione, grazie per avere apprezzato il luogo e la natura, compresa la sterrata nella nebbia! Un grande saluto a tutti quanti, e un "bau" ai cani.Margherita e Antonio.

romolo

It's like having spent three days at a friend's house. Margherita and Antonio, besides being very nice, are excellent hosts. The dinners were superb. I recommend to future guests a preventive fast considering the quality and quantity of the offer. Recommended.

stayed from 11/01/2017 to 11/04/2017

The answer from the host:
Ciao Romolo e Daniela, sì è vero, ci siamo divertiti un po' stando insieme qualche giorno, tra chiacchiere, discorsi impegnati per confrontarsi. e tante battute ! Il bello della convivialità, il bello della comunicazione, il bello dei rapporti umani, e grazie per gli apprezzamenti, ci fa un monte di piacere! Un abbraccio e alla prossima! Margherita e Antonio.

alessandro

We spent a beautiful Easter in a charming place and in a beautiful and welcoming structure; Antonio and Margherita were very kind and very nice, an excellent situation for those looking for relaxation, calm, and contact with nature.

stayed from 04/15/2017 to 04/17/2017

The answer from the host:
Ciao Alessandro e Cristina, siamo davvero contenti che il week-end di Pasqua qui da noi sia stato per voi una bella esperienza, e siamo altrettanto contenti che i nostri "luoghi" del cuore, dall'Amiata al Giardino di Daniel Spoerri, da Santa Fiora a Castel del Piano e a Saturnia (le terme già le conoscevate se ben ricordo) vi siano garbati, un caro saluto e a presto! Margherita.

fabrizio

Beautiful place and charming stone structure immersed in an uncontaminated location. Carefully restored farmhouse with cozy rooms. The two managers, Margherita and Antonio, very discreet and at the same time hospitable as well as skilled cooks in the knowledge and use of local products.

stayed from 11/14/2016 to 11/16/2016

The answer from the host:
Cari Fabrizio e Maria Luisa, siamo molto contenti che vi sia piaciuto il nostro "luogo del cuore" ("Cuore grande") e vi diciamo un sincero "grazie" ("Gratitudine") per la compagnia e anche per la conversazione, che spontaneamente svariava su tematiche significative e suggestive quali il senso del nostro esistere e l'energia positiva che possiamo cogliere e ritrasmettere. Perciò, speriamo che le nostre strade s'incontrino di nuovo, prima o poi, per ora un abbraccio, da Margherita e Antonio.

eva

The agriturismo is immersed in nature (not suitable for those looking for a central place to spend the evening). The room is spacious even for a family like us. The bathroom is also large and has a bathtub. The two hosts are wonderful, ready to give advice on what to visit, available to chat. We opted for half board and never was a happier choice. Margherita and Antonio prepared wonderful dinners for us, with traditional recipes, local products, and often grown by themselves. Amazing and plentiful dishes! All in all, as far as we are concerned, we could not ask for more.

stayed from 10/29/2016 to 11/01/2016

The answer from the host:
Ciao Eva, e naturalmente anche Marco, e le piccole Luna e Luce, ricorderemo la divertente serata coi vestiti "da zebra" e "da unicorno"! Per noi è stato un piacere ospitarvi e farvi scoprire e un po' "assaggiare" la Maremma attraverso i suoi profumi, i suoi colori e i suoi sapori, qui come vi sarete accorti la Natura regna sovrana! Un abbraccio e grazie!, Margherita e Antonio.

enrico

Found by chance, we were fascinated by the location. In the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The owners Margherita and Antonio are wonderful and very helpful people. Excellent cuisine.

stayed from 04/23/2016 to 04/25/2016

The answer from the host:
Grazie mille, Enrico, per aver trascorso con noi un allegro fine settimana e avere scambiato idee, aneddoti e ricette!, se fate un'altra "girata" in Toscana, siamo qui! Margherita e Antonio.

alessandra

Of remarkable impact for its simplicity, nestled in the hills of Roccalbegna. Mr. Antonio and Mrs. Margherita welcomed us with great warmth and together we spent an exciting New Year's Eve dinner, all dishes of the Maremma tradition expertly cooked by Mrs. Margherita. We stayed for 2 nights and even the dinner of the second day was not inferior (tortelli, arista, and cotechino absolutely divine!). Abundant breakfasts. Recommended for families and groups of friends.

stayed from 12/31/2015 to 01/02/2016

The answer from the host:
Ciao Alessandra, il Capodanno è sempre un momento "topic", molto speciale per ciascuno, ed è stato bello trascorrerlo serenamente in allegria insieme, Margherita e Antonio.
