Villa Podernovo is an eighteenth-century a farmhouse with swimming pool near Siena that we have transformed into a cozy vacation villa. It is located in the heart of the Val di Merse, a region between the Crete Senesi and the Maremma, less known than Chianti or Val d'Orcia but perhaps even more authentic and yet to be discovered. The villa is only 3 minutes walk from the village which has all the necessary services. At the same time it enjoys privacy and is surrounded by well-kept green areas and Mediterranean woodland. The rental of the villa is ideal for families and group holidays. The individual apartments are also available for rental when the villa is not already privately rented. Villa Podernovo is also a romantic location for rustic-chic, festive weddings in San Galgano Abbey, which houses the legendary 'Sword in the rock'. The abbey is situated only 7 km from the villa and is a unique venue for weddings. This makes Villa Podernovo an ideal location for wedding celebrations and for a honeymoon.

We got married there and Diana and Grazia were amazing. The service we got was professional and personal. The setting is incredible and the rooms were delightful as well. Everything was incredibly easy and unforgettable. I’d highly recommend staying there and, if you have any big occasion coming up, it’s a brilliant place to celebrate it.

My partner and I booked Villa Podernovo for our wedding celebration and fell in love as soon as we set foot on the villa grounds. We held our ceremony at the beautiful San Galgano Abbey which was about a 10 minute drive. Diana, Grazia and all staff were a joy to be around, nothing was a problem and they made our stay extremely pleasant going above and beyond. My only regret is we didn’t stay for longer, the villa and surroundings are idyllic and a true Tuscan dream.

We booked the entire villa for a week for our wedding in August and it was absolutely amazing. The rustic-chic feel of the villa was everything and more than we could dream of, it was so cozy and comfortable. The outdoors were cured to the minimum details, with amazing plants, flowers, trees, lights: absolutely perfect. Diana and Grazia were extremely nice and helpful and always available, yet discrete. Our families and friends who stayed with us keep talking about how amazing the stay was and what beautiful memories they managed to create. It all felt so dreamy and idyllic, almost surreal. The only downside: no air conditioning which can be quite challenging in July/August. However, it is totally recommended, especially for longer stays.

We visited in May 2022 for our wedding! Diana hosted and co-ordinated our stay and wedding day and we couldn’t have higher praise or asked for anything more! Diana and her team were on hand for anything we needed and made us feel extremely at ease from the minute we arrived. The villa was absolutely incredible. Rooms were in keeping with typical Italian style and surroundings - rustic, homely and beautiful! Gardens and pool were stunning and much bigger than expected. These were transformed for our wedding day reception and became even more magical. Family and friends were overwhelmed by the entire experience and have already asked when we are returning for our anniversary! We had high expectations for our big day and stay in the villa which were completely exceeded. Hope to one day return and cannot thank Diana and her team enough for the most amazing stay and wedding day.…

We had such an amazing and wonderful time celebrating our wedding at Villa Podernova and Diana was very professional and helpful. The accomodation is perfect for hosting family and friends and we were lucky enough to have the whole Villa booked for our wedding. The day was so special and the setting truly remarkable. All our guests had a wonderful time and we will have wonderful memories to look back on. Can't recommend highly enough.

Where do I start?! We stayed at Villa Podernovo for 6 nights with our families & had our wedding reception here in September 2022. The villa itself is paradise and kept to the highest possible standard. It truly is beautiful, the pictures do not do this Tuscan dream justice! It felt like home away from home, and we were heartbroken when it was time to leave. The wedding was like a fairytale, magic in every way. Diana and her assistant Grazia turned our wedding dream in to reality – no task was too big and they worked so incredibly hard to ensure our day was perfect. Even when it rained the morning of our wedding, Diana quickly prepped for ‘Plan B’ (indoors dinner) and kept me calm – I had no doubt she would make it work perfectly in whatever situation, and she did! All of our guests commented on how beautiful the Villa was, and how it was a magical setting for the wedding. Diana worked closely with our vendors (caterers, band, DJ etc) to ensure the day ran seamlessly, whilst keeping us both well informed of anything we may need to know. I surprisingly felt very calm on the day, and I owe many thanks to Diana and Grazia for this! They also went above and beyond with any request our families may have had during our stay, we felt very well looked after. I cannot recommend Villa Podernovo and Diana's wedding coordination enough! I cannot wait to return here again in the future, it truly is a very special place. Thank you Diana and Grazia, for the best week of our lives.…

We held our wedding here in July 2022 with our immediate family members, with all of us staying on site. We could not have been happier with our choice to do so!! The apartments are absolutely beautiful, as well as the scenery around the villa! Diana was AMAZING in every way possible. My mother in law injured her knee right before arriving to the villa, and Diana helped to secure her a wheelchair to rent for our time there so that she could get around easier. She also has the best recommendations for food in the area! We are so grateful that she was there for us on our wedding day and the days surrounding it. We would absolutely return in a heartbeat!

My husband and I planned our wedding venue here two years ago but unfortunately due to COVID, we had to postpone not once but twice for this dream day. However, Diana and her team made the whole process so easy and they remained so professional even throughout all the uncertainty. We finally had our dream stay here in September 21 where we finally said ‘I do’ at the nearby San Galgano Abby and then later that day had our reception at the villa. An absolutely stunning venue, we couldn’t have asked for more. We and our guests all stayed at the villa for the whole week and had an amazing stay. The location is stunning, the grounds well maintained and beautiful, the rooms immaculately clean with all the necessities. Some of the villa is separated apartments which worked so well for our guests with their own space for the week and there is also a communal area where we could all have breakfast together if we wanted. The pool area is my favourite place, so beautiful and peaceful. We are already planning when we can all return! Thank you to Diana and her team, we had an amazing stay and couldn’t have wished for more during our special time away.…

Hard to decide where to start! Everything about this place is magic! We got married at villa podernovo in this challenging year of 2020! Diana & Grazia helped us from day one, when we had only a little idea of our wedding, through the whole process of creating ideas and putting them into reality and into our dream wedding! They were with us through all the ups and downs of this year and there was no challenge to big to take! Everything from the decoration to the food to the prediners etc was more perfect than we could imagine on our drems! We created memories at villa podernovo with our family and friends that we will cherish for a lifetime! Biggest thank you to Diana and the whole team for working so hard to make others dream come true! Always thankful!!
