Photos and Description of this Volterra holiday apartment

Podere Palareta is a typical Tuscan farmhouse made of natural stone. It lies beautifully on a hill on approximately 500 m sea level, right above the picturesque village of Montecatini Val di Cecina. The estate is surrounded by meadows, paddocks and forest. The panoramic view over the mild hills of the Alta Val d'Era and the volcano-landscape of the Alta Val di Cecina is a continuous companion on relaxing walks, rides and mountain bike-tours. The farm is 200 years old. It has been restored lovingly from 2002 to 2005. During the restoration we used mainly biological materials, furthermore we tried as much as possible to conserve and restore the traditional elements of the house, as the old windows, the arches of the walls and the pavement of terra cotta. On our farm, there are many animals and we are pleased, when children help us feeding them. Foxes, deer, stags porcupines, emerald-lizards and many rare insects live in the surrounding forests.

Details for Taverna 1 Bedroom, Sleeps 3, 1 Bathroom

This apartment was restored lovingly in 2004/05. We used (as much as possible) organic materials. This apartment is equipped with a tasteful kitchen-line in solid wood, a beautiful dining alcove and a sleeping sofa (140x200). In the summer, the 80cm thick stone-walls keep the rooms cool. In spring, fall and in the winter, the under floor heating provides agreeable temperatures on colder days. We use solar panels to heat the water in all the apartments.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Volterra, Italy

The Surroundings : Many sights of the Tuscany are easily reachable from Palareta: Volterra, 15 km away, is an old Etruscan-city, in which you can admire the first archway built by humans, the Etruscan-museum and the Teatro Romano; the old university-city Pisa, famous for its tower, is 75 km away. Siena (at 60 km), San Gimignano (35 km), and of course Florence (80 km) with Michelangelo's David, the Sacred Uffiziens invite to interesting trips. Cecina, Bibbona and San Vincenzo (approx. 30-35km away) are very attractive because of their long sandy beaches, shops and restaurants.

The Azienda Agricola Podere Palareta : Palareta is an organic farm: The main acquisition of the farm is our activity with the horses, the large garden, olive- and fruit trees provide our guests and us with fresh vegetables and fruits. On inquiry, you can have a Tuscan meal with us. We cook as much as possible with our own organic products, or the products of the area. We are an Italian-German family and speak fluently German, Italian and English. If you are interested in the Tuscan kitchen, you can of course take a glance in our saucepans and help us with the preservation if you would like.

The Riding Association Palareta: Is there anything more beautiful than experiencing the Tuscan landscape on horse-back? The Riding Association Palareta offers riding lessons for small groups or private lessons for beginners and advanced riders, rides through the beautiful surroundings of Palareta and trekking camps for one or more days. Furthermore, we provide Cavalgiocare® riding camps for children and stables for guest horses. The Riding Association Palareta is a member of the U.I.S.P. – Lega Equitazione and all services and lessons are offered by qualified staff. Our mission is to encourage, strengthen and refine the communication between horse and rider, to recognize the needs of the horse and to teach how to ride in harmony with the horse. Our horses are kept in large paddocks to be able to live as naturally as possible. If you have further questions, just feel free to contact us. We are looking forward to getting known to you!
