Cottage Polvereto S. Andrea a Cellole a beautiful hilltop Castle sleeps two
Situated in a strategic position halfway between Florence and Siena the castle of S.Andrea a Cellole is within easy access of all the most important tourist sites, yet immersed in the quiet of the countryside where the birds sing and in the hot summer evenings the fireflies glow. Far from major roads and motorways the only sound you will hear is the odd tractor ploughing the vines. What better way to spend a relaxing holiday in our mature garden , taking a dip in the large (12X6 m) pool and sunbathing on wooden sun loungers with mattresses, lunching under the shady pergolas or just sipping a glass of wine, or perhaps reading a book under a shady tree. With both Florence and Siena little over half an hour away by car what could be easier than sightseeing the wonderful art treasures that Tuscany has to offer, returning in the latter part of the day to enjoy a quick dip before dinner in the garden or a foray out to one of the many typical restaurants in the area… of which still very good value. Cottage Polvereto is a semi detached cottage for two. Entering on the ground floor directly from the garden you enter into the spacious kitchen dining area. The kitchen is fully equipped with hob, oven, fridge/freezer, dish washer and washing machine.The sitting area has two divans and a T.V. which receives via satellite CNN & BBC world.There is a round table and four chairs for dining. Upstairs is a spacious double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower. Outside is a shady pergola with wooden garden furniture which faces the large (6m X 12m )pool with wooden loungers with mattresses and a shady pergola and umbrellas.Free Wi-Fi. Fan in bed room. No hidden extras only local tourist tax 50cts per person per day to be paid locally.

Great, calm place with helpful and professional owners providing very valuable and practical advice
Apart from the spacious,well equipped cottage and overall calm and relaxing environment with great pool and outdoor eating area, Marzio, Adela and Mauro were the perfect hosts providing us with very practical advice on what to see and do in the region. Cellole is also very well situated to explore the region, half way between Florence and Sienna it allowed us to visit these cities or explore the many medieval fortress villages close by. The cooking course we did was a real highlight. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay and definitely plan to return.
To start we were welcomed by a complimentary bottle of wine to celebrate our new marriage! The host was very attentive, provided restaurant recommendations, wine tour suggestions and local site seeing suggestions. Apartment was clean and cozy with spectacular views with olive trees and host made olive oil!
This host goes above and beyond to make their guests feel at home.
By far our favourite part of our week was Nelson…. You stole my heart out handsome guard dog.
We will 100% be back and highly recommend!

L’appartement était propre, fonctionnel et confortable. Maurizio, le propriétaire est très serviable, poli et sympathique. L’emplacement est un magnifique oasis de tranquilité entouré de vignobles et d’oliveraies. Attention, le site est difficile d’accès et l’escalier qui mène à l’étage également.
Unser Aufenthalt in Cellole war absolut erholsam.
Die Unterkunft ist genau wie auf der Website beschrieben. Die Räume sind gemütlich eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet, was man so in einer Ferienwohnung braucht.
Der Garten ist wunderschön angelegt und bietet genug Platz, eine ruhige Ecke für sich zu finden. Die Umgebung ist absolut ruhig und idyllisch.
W-lan ist vorhanden, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten gibt es im Coop im ca 6 km entfernten Travanelle.
Highlight ist jedoch die tolle Unterstützung durch Marzio, den Gastgeber. Mit seinen hilfreichen Tipps zu Sehenswürdigkeiten, Reservierungen für Restaurants, Hinweisen zu Ladesäulen für E-Autos und ganz allgemeinen Infos über die Toskana hat er uns viel Recherche und google-Suchen erspart.
Vor allem die Wegbeschreibung zur Unterkunft war sehr hilfreich. Unser Navi hätte uns zwar auch genau dorthin gelotst, wir hätten dem Navi allerdings ohne die exakte Beschreibung von Marzio nicht vertraut, weil der Weg irgendwann etwas unbefestigter wurde.
Traumhafte, ruhige Lage des Objektes mit einem tollen Pool. Der Gastgeber war super, er und seine Familie haben uns das Bella Italia mit unglaublicher Freude und Engagement vermittelt! Vielen Dank für eine außergewöhnlich schöne Urlaubswoche und die vielen Tipps!
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour oû nous ne manquions de rien et ou le gérant était au petit soin pour ses hôtes. Nous reviendrons trés certainement.
Das historische Anwesen liegt traumhaft mitten im Olivenhain und ist ein ruhiges Idyll. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und der Pool wurde von uns reichlich genutzt. Marzio ist ein aufmerksamer, sehr freundlicher Gastgeber und gibt bei Bedarf gute Tips für Ausflüge. Ein gut sortierter Supermarkt befindet sich im nächsten Ort. Alles ist perfekt, am liebsten gleich wieder dorthin!!!

Peaceful Tuscan Retreat
Enjoyed our stay at Sant' Andrea a Cellole. Marzio, Adela and Mauro were always very welcoming and helpful with tips on restaurants, places to visit and where to park. The holiday house is lovely, part of a larger, historical building and set in beautiful countryside. We enjoyed eating outside on the little shady terrace and the swimming pool is fantastic. We will also miss the friendly dogs, Bounty and Nelson. Thoroughly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by Marzio Bonomi
After working severalyears in the Hotel industry, i have decided to move back home and use all the knowledge and experience gained up util today in order to make our guests feel like highly appreciated ones and welcomed. What better than to set up a rental business and share our home with others and impart my extensive knowledge of accomodation and of the Tuscan land with our guests? We enjoy having guests on property and many have now become good friends and return frequently, its a part of our lives and often we all go out to dinner together or even to events and concerts to make their visit (and yours) special. Hope to Welcome you soon at Cellole!
Why they chose this property
It took an age to find the right property. There was always something wrong with each one we found until this one. Our guidelines were, no near neighbours, no main road, no through road past the property, no electric pylons , fabulous views, near enough to nearest town for comfort. We found it!!!
What makes this property unique
Peace and quiet are the best way of describing Cellole. In the summer months the odd tractor ploughing the vines can be heard in the distance otherwise its just the crickets chirping in the garden thay you can hear. The views are stunning from all angles to say the least. Within less than ten minutes you are in Tavarnelle where there are shops, restaurants, atm's and all other requirements. All the main tourist sites such as Florence, Siena, San Gimignano are a short drive away making this an ideal place to explore Tuscany whilst having a peaceful environment to relax in away from the crowds.
