Podernuovo is perched imperiously on its own hilltop, so you may have trouble tearing your eyes away from the beauty of the surrounding countryside; but great care has been taken in restoring the villa and it should be explored in detail. Behind the foursquare façade, the owner has made the most of the terracotta floors, beamed ceilings and low arches of the original structure, introducing fine furniture and personal touches, while taking advantage of the latest in green technology: there is both wind and solar power, plus a more conventional backup. As you would expect, all additions have been seamlessly married to the 200-year-old farmhouse. The result offers scope for guilt-free hedonism of the highest order.
