Zolferate: private one bedroom retreat for couples in total quiet

Zolferate is a one-bedroom holiday home designed for couples seeking total quiet, privacy and a slower Tuscan rhythm. It is the most secluded of the three accommodations at Podere Sant’Angelo and ideal for guests who value space, silence and time outdoors.

The apartment occupies part of a restored stone barn and retains traditional Tuscan features. Inside, the space has high ceilings with exposed chestnut beams, terracotta tiled floors and thick stone walls that keep it naturally cool in summer. A traditional kitchen corner with a stone sink is fully equipped for simple, relaxed cooking. The living area includes an open fireplace, making Zolferate well suited to spring and autumn stays.

The bedroom is quiet and uncluttered, intended for rest rather than decoration. Traditional wooden shutters allow complete darkness, supporting a calm and restful night’s sleep.

Outside, Zolferate offers a high level of privacy. The shaded private terrace is for your exclusive use and opens onto a private garden with sun loungers. There are no shared outdoor spaces. The property is reached via a short unmade country road, helping ensure a peaceful setting without through traffic. From the garden and terrace there are open views across the surrounding hills, with birdsong by day and deep silence at night.

Podere Sant’Angelo sits at 700 metres above sea level in the hills of the southern Maremma. Even in summer, evenings are cooler and suited to dining outdoors. Walking routes start directly from the property, while hill towns, nature parks and thermal baths are easily reached by car.

Zolferate is best suited to couples and quiet travellers seeking a private base for slow travel in southern Tuscany. It is not suitable for groups, parties or guests seeking nightlife or resort facilities. A car is essential due to the rural location.
