Podere Saliccioni, Holiday in the hills between art cities and nature.

This place, where silence and the sounds of nature reign, is ideal for reconnecting with yourself through a total immersion in this untouched nature.
Saliccioni is located 350 meters above sea level, nestled in the woods of the Pistoiese Hills, just 15 minutes from the center of Pistoia. It covers 16 hectares, including forest (10 hectares), olive groves (600 olive trees), meadows, an orchard, and a synergy garden. From here, you can mainly get around by private means, but not only that. In fact, nearby runs the historic Porrettana railway, which connects Pistoia with Porretta Terme along its picturesque route through the wild Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.

The 150 sqm apartment is composed as follows:
- Two double bedrooms with separable beds, one of which also has a bunk bed, for a total of 6 beds.
- A bathroom with a shower
- A small entrance/laundry area
- A large kitchen with a gas stove, an electric oven, a fridge, and all the utensils for cooking.
- a spacious and bright living room equipped with a stereo system, board games, a reading corner, and the possibility to do physical activities like yoga, dance…

The apartment opens onto a large 40 sqm porch overlooking a breathtaking view. Around the house, you can admire biodiversity across different natural environments like the olive grove, the forest, and the meadows… and for those lucky enough, even an unexpected encounter with a deer!

From here, in addition to the beautiful city of Pistoia, you can easily reach art cities like Florence, Lucca, and Pisa, or take scenic hikes on the trails of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, which are also rich in rivers and streams like the Lima and the Reno where you can swim and cool off on hot summer days. For sea lovers, Versilia is just an hour away.

Our goal is to create an alternative project that offers an ECO approach, meaning SUSTAINABILITY, RESPONSIBILITY, and AWARENESS towards nature. Here you can find a thousand opportunities to practice those daily habits that will help you rediscover the lightness of a simple life based on slowness and presence.

In winter, we warm ourselves with wood from our own forest, use natural products for personal and home hygiene, some of which are self-made, and we don’t have a TV or Wi-Fi, though we can still get an internet signal. Of course, pets friends are always welcome, there are no fences.

As a guest of Podere Saliccioni, Holiday in the hills between art cities and nature., you'll find an outdoor pool, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

Smoking is allowed in designated areas at this Pistoia apartment.
