A typical Tuscan farmhouse that has always been welcoming and hospitable: in the 19th century Podere Bellaria was, in fact, a post station, an inn catering to travelers on horseback. Later belonging to noble families, it was finally acquired by the current owner who has breathed new life it through painstaking restoration work that has respected the original layout and classic architectural elements while at the same time conferring, through an original play of contrasts, an important personal touch. The vivacious furnishings are of good quality, characterized by bright materials and rounded, ornate forms; the accessories and fabrics present unconventional details with the richness of the finishing touches which enhance the interior with its exposed stone walls. The property is characterized by large areas, both inside and out, and is particularly suitable for groups of friends or families who want to spend relaxing days together in the cosy, spacious living room or in the outdoor set-up areas yet, at the same time, have total independence which is guaranteed by the arrangement of the bedrooms in separate but adjoining units. In addition, adjacent to the central structure is an elegant multi-purpose room, able to accomodate up to 150 people for events and ceremonies. Immersed in the scenic countryside of the Crete Senesi, and just a few minutes from the famous spa town of Rapolano, the estate is a great base for exploring a region with great artist and culture. Not far away is the region of Chianti with its fascinating villages along the wine roads and, thanks to the excellent road network (the highway is just 4 km away), within easy reach are the little towns of Cortona, Montalcino, San Gimignano, Montepulciano as well as the great art cities of Siena, Arezzo and Florence.
The Emma Villas' Concierge Team can be reached for any emergencies, or further information you may require during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent together with your booking documents.

Magical
The property was perfect. We could not have asked for more wonderful accommodations, and the setting was awesome with the hills of sunflowers making the vistas perfect. But even more important were our hosts who did everything they could to make our stay memorable. We highly recommend Podere Bellaria to anyone who wants a magical experience.

FANTASTIC!
We rented the entire villa for an extended Italian family holiday and everyone was completely amazed by this beautiful property. No one could believe how wonderful this is. From the beautifully decorated and equipped suites to the multiple kitchens and locations to gather, this property exceeded all of our expectations. The hosts were welcoming, responsive to all of our questions and were clearly proud or their villa as they certainly should be. We would highly recommend this location to anyone who is interested.

Wonderful Tuscany Experience!
We had such a wonderful time at Podere Bellaria this year at november. We were a party of 15 people, for a family celebration. The kitchen is fully equipped and for those, like us, who like cooking – is paradise! The property is prepared for group / or families, specially confortable, cozy and beautifully located. Paolo and Giani the owners, were kind and available for trip advise or anything we needed. Everything was perfect. A Really Tuscany experience ! wish return soon..

Amazing owners, gorgeous villa!
We rented the whole villa. Although there was one extra room, it was worth having the entire property to ourselves. The location is terrific. Completely private, but not fat from great places like Siena, San Giamgnano, Cortona, Firenze. So much to see and do, but we did spend alot of time by the in ground pool. All was as it should be. A memorable trip. The price was a bit steep, I'll admit. Enjoy!
