Welcome to the podere

An estate that asks you to slow down.


Surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and timeless Tuscan hills, Podere Sant'Elisa offers four restored apartments and a quiet rhythm of days. Mornings on the terrace, afternoons by the pool, evenings under the cypress trees.

Authentic experiences, naturally curated — a base for families, friends and cycling groups exploring the Volterra countryside.
