Description
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside, about one and a half kilometers from the sea at San Vincenzo, the "Val di Gori" estate welcomes guests into a charming 19th-century farmhouse steeped in history. Surrounded by the silvery green of olive trees and the region's typical cultivated fields, the estate offers flexible accommodations that perfectly meet the needs of each visitor, with lodgings that can serve as either rooms or apartments.
The accommodations, varying in size, are named after the ancient agricultural structures from which they were derived: "Stalla" (Stable), "Carraia" (Cart Shed), "Fienile" (Barn), "Granaio" (Granary), "Coppaio" (Storehouse), and "Scrittoio" (Desk). While maintaining the rustic charm and authenticity of traditional farmhouses, each lodging has been designed to provide modern comforts, blending tradition with functionality. The interiors are tastefully decorated and feature loggias equipped with tables and chairs, perfect for relaxing outdoors. The "Granaio" stands out with its private terrace offering a delightful view of the surrounding countryside.
The accommodations overlook a small olive grove and a large courtyard, once used for threshing wheat, now an ideal space to immerse oneself in the authentic atmosphere of a Tuscan estate. Bed and bath linens are provided only for the rooms, while guests in the apartments have access to a shared washing machine for a fee of 4 euros. Final cleaning for the apartments incurs an additional charge of 60 euros.
Stays vary by season, with a minimum of 3 nights for rooms and 7 nights for apartments, ensuring an opportunity to fully enjoy a relaxing getaway. The "Val di Gori" estate is the perfect choice for those seeking a vacation that combines proximity to the sea with the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside, all within a setting rich in history and warmth.

I have travelled throughout Italy, working for decades in luxury hotels across the country (Florence, Rome, Pisa) and abroad during training (France and Belgium). Eventually, I returned to where I grew up, using my managerial skills to run my own properties in Tuscany.
My guests for their holidays choose La Residenza del Mare and Il Faro because they seek a place that feels like home, a destination to return to rather than a fleeting, impersonal spot.
Multilingual, attentive to detail, I want to focus my service on the needs of each individual Guest, because I like to make their holiday unforgettable, so that it is a unique experience and allow people to relax and discover all the attractions of my country, San Vincenzo because for me Hospitality means Sharing.

What guests say
Guests appreciate Podere Val di Gori’s peaceful setting among olive trees, clean, spacious and well-equipped accommodation, and Claire’s warm, helpful hosting. It is just outside San Vincenzo, with the town and beaches a short drive away or around a 20-minute walk. It makes a relaxing base for exploring the area; note that breakfast is not included in every unit and nearby alternatives may be limited.

My wife and I spent a wonderful week from 29.08. to 05.09.2026 at Appartamento La Carraia. We were in Tuscany for the first time and consciously chose an idyllic apartment outside the town center. Our expectations were met to our fullest satisfaction. Our host Claire warmly welcomed us on the first day and showed us around the premises. The property is about 5 minutes by car from the town center. It is reachable on foot in 20 minutes. In San Vincenzo and the surrounding area there are various restaurants, bars, a long sandy beach and many sights. Podere Val di Gori is the ideal base for people who want to do things during the day but love peace and quiet in the mornings and evenings.

We stayed at this wonderful farmhouse from August 2nd to 6th in a charming and peaceful setting, ideal for relaxing. The room was very clean and welcoming and the owner, Claire, always helpful and kind, made us feel at ease. We promised ourselves to return to this oasis of peace every time we are in Tuscany.

I highly recommend this accommodation. It's the second time I've stayed here and I've always had a great experience. The place and the apartment are delightful. Claire is very helpful and kind. The apartment is very clean and fully equipped; nothing is missing. In short, I had a very pleasant stay and I think I will definitely return in a few years.

The main shortcoming is that breakfast is not provided in some accommodations, given the distance from alternative options.

The answer from the host:
Buongiorno Roberto. Grazie della recensione, tengo a precisare che nell'annuncio e nella comunicazione che intercorre prima di formalizzare la prenotazione, viene ben specificato e chiarito quale opzione è possibile nella camera scelta (colazione fai da te o nessuna colazione). Ricordo poi che non solo Bed & breakfast dà chiare indicazioni per geolocalizzare ogni struttura, e che nel colloquio viene poi ben indicato dove ci si trova. Stupirsi di trovarsi lontano da un bar avendo scelto di pernottare in una camera senza colazione ben sapendo che si trova a qualche minuto in auto dall'Aurelia e dal Paese, non è un problema della struttura. Le camere sono solo 2, gli altri alloggi sono alloggi settimanali dove l’ospite è indipendente e autonomo. Non ultimo ed è la cosa che mi è dispiaciuta di più, umanamente parlando, è che alla mia domanda se andava tutto bene mi ha risposto: “davvero tutto bene, grazie di tutto”. Le auguro una buona giornata e quando vuole io sono qui ad accoglierla per un futuro soggiorno. Saluti, Claire.

We had one of our most beautiful holidays here. Claire as a host was really great. Communication with her was top-notch, so very, very good; she was very kind and always helpful. The key handover went perfectly; the apartment was shown and explained to us in detail. The bathroom/shower was spacious and extremely clean like the rest of the apartment. The bedroom had air conditioning. The living/dining area (kitchen) had everything one needs. The kitchen equipment was very, very good and plentiful; there really was everything. On the covered terrace there was a large table with seating and additionally a small table with two comfortable chairs. In conclusion, one can say: everything was simply great. We will definitely come back.

My husband and I stayed in the studio Il Granaio, equipped with air conditioning, a microwave, a kettle and a toaster, and it also includes a small terrace with a table and chairs. The apartment is spacious, clean and tastefully furnished, perfect for two people. The location is on a hill, among centuries-old trees, lemon trees, olive trees and oleanders, where you can relax or go for a walk, enjoying the peace. The price is reasonable. Claire is very kind, available for any need but discreet. We definitely recommend it.

Perfect stay! We spent three fantastic days in this beautiful Bed & Breakfast and couldn't have asked for more. The owner, Claire, was discreet but attentive and very kind. The rooms are cared for down to the smallest detail, very clean and furnished with great taste. The room was spacious, the bed extremely comfortable and equipped with all the necessary amenities for complete relaxation. The property is located in a quiet area but just a few steps from the center. Three days of pure relaxation and pampering. This accommodation exceeded our expectations. We will definitely return and recommend it without hesitation.

The room is really spacious, clean, and quiet in a structure near the center of the village and strategically located to comfortably reach all the most beautiful destinations on the Etruscan coast. Claire welcomes you with kindness and is very attentive to the guests' needs; we really appreciated the necessary equipment to prepare breakfast independently (nothing is really missing!). For those who get warm, there is air conditioning provided, but the room is cool. Highly recommended!

Beautiful rustic complex one and a half kilometers from the beaches of San Vincenzo. We come here often and the last time we stayed at the Granaio, a stunning rustic studio with a lovely terrace overlooking the hill opposite: the aperitifs at sunset and the dinner accompanied by the singing of the crickets and the sound of the leaves of the trees are one of the reasons why we will return.

Stay from July 20 to 27, 2024. We discovered Podere by chance on the Internet and since then we return every time our commitments allow it. The apartments of different sizes are all functional and tastefully furnished. From Podere, you can easily reach the sea or visit the medieval villages in the surroundings. The owners are always very kind, ready to give advice and respond to every request. It is undoubtedly a place to recommend.

It is impossible to explain how one feels, you have to experience it! I went to the Podere with my 9-year-old daughter, a wonderful, relaxing vacation. Clean room, self-service breakfast, but everything was really available... a piece of paradise. I recommend it to anyone who, like us, wants to dive into the greenery of Tuscany and explore what the area has to offer nearby.
