About this house rental
Rated 9.9/10 by guests in 2026
Capitorio is a romantic holiday home in a restored 300-year-old stone barn, one of three one-bedroom holiday cottages at Podere Sant'Angelo, a small, family-run property set 700 metres high in the hills near Roccalbegna in the Maremma, southern Tuscany. Ideal for couples or small families wanting quiet, nature and big valley views, close to Saturnia and the Etruscan hill towns.
Capitorio is 50 m² in total, with a double bedroom, a fold-out armchair and a sofa bed in the living area, perfect for couples or a small family. The interior combines high ceilings, chestnut beams, terracotta floors and an open fireplace with a genuine cucina in muratura, a traditional brick-built kitchen with a stone sink.
From the estate you can walk directly into the surrounding hills or hire an e-bike in Roccalbegna. The private garden with sun loungers faces west across the Albegna Valley, ideal for sunsets. After dark, the Milky Way is clearly visible, far from light pollution. If you're looking for a peaceful rural stay in southern Tuscany, Podere Sant'Angelo is hard to beat.
The estate is known for its Mediterranean garden of lavender, rosemary and old roses, wide-open views and unforgettable sunsets.
The other accommodations, Albegna and Zolferate, share the same peaceful setting and are available to book separately.
Podere Sant'Angelo makes an ideal quiet base for slow travel in southern Tuscany and all the highlights below are within 30 to 90 minutes.
Visit nearby
the hot springs of Saturnia
the Etruscan hill towns of Pitigliano, Sovana and Sorano
the UNESCO-listed landscapes of the Val d’Orcia
the wine towns of Montalcino, Pienza and Montepulciano
the unspoilt beaches of the Parco Maremma
Capitorio accommodates two adults and one child (up to 12 years). A cot and high chair are available for younger guests.
Your host lives on site and will personally welcome you in English, happy to share tips about local walks, restaurants and producers.
Good to know: Podere Sant’Angelo lies off the main road network. The holiday home is reached after about three kilometres on a well-maintained strada bianca – an unmade gravel road typical of the Tuscan countryside, ensuring peace, privacy and authentic rural charm.

Wir haben 10 wunderschöne Tage im Podere Sant‘Angelo verbringen dürfen. Die Lage der Ferienwohnung ist ideal für alle, die in ihrem Urlaub Ruhe und Einsamkeit in der Natur suchen - genau das hatten wir auch gesucht! Auf der Terrasse konnten wir tagsüber wunderbar entspannen und Bücher lesen, abends kann man bei einem Gläschen Wein (hier gibt es sehr gute Weine) den einzigartigen Sternenhimmel bewundern - und dem Geräusch der Zirpen lauschen - ab und zu huschte auch ein Fuchs durch den Garten. Hier konnten wir richtig abschalten und entspannen. Ausflugsziele wie der schöne Naturstrand Marina di Alberese oder der Monte Amiata mit seinem einzigartigen Buchenwald sind ebenfalls mit dem Auto in Reichweite - wer kurvenreiche Sträßchen zu schätzen weiß kommt hier auf jeden Fall auf seine Kosten!
Unser sehr netter Gastgeber Grahame hat uns sehr herzlich empfangen und mit allen Informationen versorgt - die Unterkunft ist gemütlich eingerichtet und sehr sauber - man hat alles gefunden, was man braucht (auch in der Küche). Wir kommen auf jeden Fall sehr gerne wieder!

Absolut ruhige und landschaftlich schöne Lage mit einem sehr netten und hilfsbereiten Gastgeber. Im Haus ist alles vorhanden, was man für einen gelungenen Aufenthalt benötigt: von ausreichend Küchenequipment über weiche Handtücher und Gartenmöbel.
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder!

(English below) Gite très bien équipé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût...tout est très propre et le moindre détail est soigné...Lenvironnement est merveilleux, calme : seul le bruit du vent et celui des cigales viendra perturber votre sieste ! Le propriétaire est chaleureux et toujours de bon conseil. Nous avons tellement apprécié que nous serions prêts à revenir prochainement !!!! Tout autour de ce gite se trouvent de beaux village perchés, des sites étrusques et romains et les fameuses sources d’eau chaude sulfurées de Saturnia (baignade recommandée). En résumé……un beau gite qui est un excellent point de départ pour des visites, pour faire du vélo sportif ou simplement pour décompresser loin des tourments du quotidien.Very well equipped and tastefully decorated Holiday cottage …. Everything is clean and meticulously prepared. The local landscape is wonderful and quiet: only the noise of the wind and the one of cicadas can disrupt your afternoon nap ! The owner is warm and always provides sound advices ! We so much appreciated that we would be ready to return soon !!!! Beautiful perched villages, Etruscan & Roman sites and famous hot & sulphurized watersprings (located in Saturnia; recommended bathing) can be found in the near vicinity. As a summary … a beautiful holiday cottage which is an excellent starting point for visiting, for biking (sportsmen) or simply for relaxing far from the daily worries.
