Podere Caldaruccio la Pineta

Ho contattato il Podere per richiedere di prenotare un soggiorno tramite cofanetto Wonderbox. Il proprietario della struttura, con tono sgradevole e davvero poco professionale, mi ha gentilmente (si fa per dire) invitata a prenotare altrove, affermando - cito testualmente - che «con la prenotazione tramite cofanetto, non si rientra nemmeno delle spese per la signora delle pulizie». Sono davvero spiacente per la pessima esperienza di contatto con questa struttura, ma, d'altra parte, sono sollevata di non aver avuto l'occasione di soggiornare in un posto come questo: laddove si lavora perseguendo solamente il mero guadagno economico, non esisterà mai ospitalità.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 Podere Caldaruccio is an enchanting family-run place that undoubtedly deserves 5 out of 5 stars, or even more! Nestled in the heart of Umbria, this idyllic location offers an unforgettable experience to anyone seeking tranquility, beauty and impeccable service. A true gem! Languages spoken (5/5): Italian, English, French, and German. Welcome (5/5): upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by the hosts. Their kindness and helpfulness made us feel at home right away. They spared no time and energy in explaining everything about the estate, passionately and masterfully illustrating the history and architecture of the Podere and the Torre Castello. The accommodation reserved for us was the Baita. There, they showed us all the amenities available and gave us a comprehensive overview of the services offered, from the swimming pool to exploring the picturesque surroundings. Their attention to detail and genuine desire to make our stay memorable made this experience truly special. Staff (5/5): their helpfulness is overwhelming! Always ready to provide personalized advice on local attractions, restaurants and must-see events. Their dedication to ensuring each guest has a unique experience during their stay at this magnificent estate is definitely worthy of a special mention. Location and landscape (5/5): the Podere is a true pearl snuggled in the beautiful Umbrian landscape, surrounded by gentle hills, cypresses, centuries-old pines, lush vineyards and olive groves. It offers breathtaking views in every direction. The structure is entirely framed by the most genuine nature (there are plants and trees of all kinds, not just fruit trees), which blends well with its intact original charm. The internet connection is fast and available throughout the property. Rooms and amenities (5/5): Spacious apartment, tastefully furnished and equipped with all comforts. Extremely comfortable beds, high-quality linens, always perfectly clean bathroom, free and fast WiFi. In particular, having stayed in the Baita, we can say that you can find everything you expect to feel at home, starting with four beds (an extremely spacious double bed and two single ones), two refrigerators, two hot/cold split units, washing machine, oven, microwave, safe and so on and so forth. All the furniture is extremely refined and sought after. The headboard of the bed is even of noble extraction: it belonged to a Count! The outdoor area includes a large sun umbrella, a table decorated with beaten iron chairs, an outdoor wicker lounge set, two modern sun loungers and two comfortable Izmir chairs. Privacy is not lacking. Cleanliness (5/5): The cleaning standards at the Podere are truly exceptional. Every single corner is taken care of in the smallest details and always impeccable, from the rooms to the bathrooms, from the common areas to the wonderful gardens. Truly unparalleled. Activities and services (5/5): The panoramic swimming pool is a real gem, large enough for refreshing swims
