Here, you\u2019ll stay with a family of winemakers who work with great love and respect for nature. Imagine waking up to a view of the Tuscan hills, taking a dip in the pool, and enjoying a glass of Vino Nobile di Montepulciano from their own vineyards in the evening.    <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying at a family-run business with its own vineyard  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podere Casa al Vento is a small-scale, family-run organic wine and olive oil farm. Paolo, Giulia, and their family run both the agriturismo and the 7-hectare vineyard. They also produce olive oil from a 4-hectare olive grove. Their most distinctive product is the Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a full-bodied red wine that clearly reflects the combination of fertile soil, tradition, and craftsmanship.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a guest, you\u2019ll stay on the same estate where the grapes grow. That makes your stay even more special: you\u2019ll see the rows of grapevines change with the seasons, smell the olive trees, and hear the peaceful rhythm of farm life.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The four apartments at Podere Casa al Vento  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agriturismo consists of four independent apartments, each with its own unique atmosphere. They are decorated in a simple, warm Tuscan style, featuring plenty of wood and light colors. The apartments are equipped with air conditioning, heating, and window screens.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tramontana: Cozy Apartment for 2+1 People  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Located on the first floor of the main building  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for 2+1 people (the third person must be a child)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kitchen  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom with a double four-poster bed  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spacious bathroom with a shower  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ideal for couples who enjoy peace and quiet and a romantic setting among the vineyards.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scirocco: spacious family apartment for 4 people  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Suitable for 4 people  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Kitchen  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom with a double bed  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom with two single beds  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom with a shower  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perfect for families or friends who want to explore Tuscany together and cook for themselves.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Levante: Ground floor with a view of the pool (2+1 people)  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ground floor of the new building  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for 2+1 people (the third person must be a child)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Living room with open kitchen  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom with a double bed  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom with a shower  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>View of the pool  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s great if you like to step right out of your apartment into the garden and the pool.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ponente: quiet and on the ground floor by the pool (2+1 people)  <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ground floor of the new building, across from the pool  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Living room with open kitchen  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Suitable for 2+1 people (the third person must be a child)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bedroom with a double bed  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bathroom with a shower  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great choice if you want to spend a lot of time outdoors and enjoy being near the water.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Facilities on the estate  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the apartments are practical and comfortably furnished, so you&#8217;ll easily feel right at home here.  <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>In and around the apartments<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Fully equipped kitchen  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Linens included  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Smart TV  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Board Games  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Travel bassinet and high chair available upon request  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children&#8217;s bed (up to age 12) available upon request  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Washing machine, iron, and ironing board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>One covered parking space per apartment  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pets allowed (pet-friendly)  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>On the grounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Communal pool with a view of the surrounding hills  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Large garden with lounge chairs  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Barbecue and picnic areas  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children&#8217;s Playground  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free Wi-Fi throughout the property  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can rent e-bikes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spa and wellness treatments are available in the area (for example, at the thermal baths around Montepulciano and Chianciano Terme)  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A passion for farming and respect for nature  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The estate consists of approximately 6 hectares of vineyards and olive groves. The work on the land is hard, but the family approaches it with obvious pride and love. They combine tradition with a modern approach to sustainability.    <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Whenever possible, they opt for mechanical weed control instead of chemical methods.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To protect the grapevines, they prefer targeted methods that are as environmentally friendly as possible.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fertilization and care are tailored to the soil and the long term, not to quick yields.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a guest, you\u2019re indirectly contributing to a winemaking process that respects the environment.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Wine Cellar: From Grape to Vino Nobile  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best parts of a stay at Podere Casa al Vento is its small-scale but meticulous wine production.  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We use only our own grapes, grown in the vineyards surrounding the agriturismo.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The grapes are picked by hand, in keeping with local tradition.  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After vinification, the best wines are aged in oak barrels, which gives Vino Nobile di Montepulciano its characteristic deep, round flavor.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can taste the wines on site in the garden, in the wine cellar, or in a tasting room. A nice touch: the wines can also be ordered online, so you can relive your vacation at home.   <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Swimming Pool, Barbecue, and Outdoor Life  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The daily rhythm at Podere Casa al Vento is peaceful and exceptionally relaxed:  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start your morning with a cup of coffee on your own little terrace, as the sun slowly rises over the hills. During the day, you can cool off in the pool or read a book in the shade of the trees. As evening approaches, fire up the barbecue and enjoy local specialties: pecorino, fresh vegetables, high-quality olive oil from the estate, and, of course, a glass of wine to go with it.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For children, there&#8217;s plenty of space to play safely; for adults, there&#8217;s above all plenty of peace and quiet and beautiful views.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiking between Val di Chiana and Val d\u2019Orcia  <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podere Casa al Vento\u2019s location is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors.
