Podere Lazzo

In summary

Podere Lazzo is a charming rural villa, surrounded by extensive grounds, set in one of Tuscany’s most inspiring locations, among Val d’Orcia’s gentle hills and wide, colourful, valleys. Splendidly set atop the hills, the property offers superb views of the surrounding verdant hillside and nearby hill towns.

Thanks to its striking location and fresh countryside breezes, the 300-year old farmhouse offers the privacy and full comfort of a “home away from home” and remains cool and comfortable also during the hot Summer months, though it has no air-conditioning.
