Comfort is integral and the level of artistry throughout is extraordinary. The temperature-controlled wine cellar has a large tasting room attached. Oenophiles and pizza lovers alike are also served by the wine cantina, outside pizza oven and dining terrace near the property’s entrance gate.
The property is surrounded by 11 hectares, where guests can enjoy walks through the forest, the olive groves and the vineyard just below the house. The garden design takes in the big views and plays with scale using terracing and planting to create pockets of privacy, interest and entertainment. There are sit spots in the sun and shade, a covered dining area with B&B Italia chairs, and views that look like they, too, are designer.

The large garden at Podere Polino was laid out in collaboration with Daniele Spitaleri, a designer from Catania in Sicily. Using the big views, terraced lawns and varied planting, inspiration is both local and from further afield. Cypress, citrus and olive trees, espaliered fruit trees, rose arbours and swathes of lavender help create different ‘rooms’. The pool sits below the house so you can look at the vast views in one direction and the architecture of the house in the other.
