Atelier Cetona is located in a typical Tuscan Farmhouse, called "Palazzolo delle Vigne", on the roman pilgrim road. . In medieval times it was a stop for pilgrims crossing the Chiana valley on their way to Rome.
This beautiful corner of Southern Tuscany lies on the border with Umbria in the province of Siena.
In this very green landscape, on the slopes of Monte Cetona (1158 m) we have been offering for the last 12 years a very creative vacation to people who love nature and country life..

Our ancient country house is very carefully restored, in order to maintain the atmosphere of an old Tuscan stone house. The floors are of handmade terracotta tiles, the ceiling and roof in chestnut wood and the furniture is in local antique style.

If you want to have a wonderful holiday in a quiet setting, relaxing by the swimming pool and enjoying our excellent cooking, you are welcome the whole year round in our house.
The "Podere" is embedded in an outstanding landscape all around, in an position immediately overlooking the vineyards. Here in Cetona the natural landscape is carefully protected by strict building regulations, which  forbid modern constructions. Therefore Cetona’s landscape and surroundings are completely intact.

Where we are

This beautiful corner of southern Tuscany lies on the border with Umbria in the province of Siena.

The house is situated on Strada Statale 321, sud. 57, 7km from the village of Cetona, in a very uniqueposition on the slopes of Mount Cetona.
In 2005 Cetona was awarded the "Bandiera Arancione", the orange flag, meaning that Cetona belongs to the 100 most beautiful places of Italy.
The village Cetona and its castle, the ancient houses and the villas are nestled amongst the marvellous greenery of cypresses, pines, olive trees and vineyards.
The environment and landscape is carefully protected here. So you can also find porcupine, hare, pheasant, wild boar and with a little luck you can see also roebuck.

In front of us you can see the valley of Chiana with the city of Chiusi, one of the most important Etruscan sites and on the southern horizon you can make out the profile of Città della Pieve, birthplace of Perugino.

  It's also worth mentioning that Montepulciano, Pienza, lake Trasimeno and Arezzo are close by, and these are places that you will visit on fieldtrips and that will contribute to an unforgettable experience.
