Casa indipendente in affitto in Strada Provinciale Voltina a Campagnatico

Welcome to Al Podere dei Nonni, an agriturism where digital nomads and travellers can find a splended long- or short-term home-away-from-home in a beautiful corner of Tuscany.

You will be located in the heart of the Maremma in southern Tuscany, an ideal base for remote work, relaxation, and exploration. We are surrounded by rolling hills and cypress trees, medeival towns, forests, culture, and delicious food and wine. Here at home, we have an olive orchard, fruit forests, a vegetable garden, a seasonal pool, and a little forest. Various beaches are also within easy reach. Grosseto, effectly a big friendly town, has everything you'll need to survive, as well as an interesting historic city center surrounded by massive late renissance walls.

Since one of us was a digital nomad and has lived and worked in different coliving houses including a co-op, shared houses, dormatories, and hostels, we can understand your needs and are happy to work with you to find the most suitable situation for your long term stay. We understand that finding medium term accomodation for people who are traveling slowly can be a challenge, uncertain, and/or overly expensive, so we are here to help you find a solution. Although we typically rent our rooms to vacationers during the summer, we are growing our coliving community alongside volunteers to create a unique coliving experience in a lovely and peaceful location we are lucky to call home. Although we believe that all travelers would be happy here, even if only for a short period, we view our location as ideal for those who are looking for peace, relaxation, and exploration by car rather than someone who needs constant access to activities and restaurants that might be better offered in a walkable city.

We have various structures on the property:

a 3-room house (private bathroom in each room) with a shared kitchen that overlooks the hills and the pool;

a self-contained house with a private bathroom, kitchen, and garden view,
and a well-situated single room with a private bathroom that is accessible to people with disabilities.

We also have a multifunctional room, outdoor patios with tables and chairs, and a large upstairs balcony, all where you can work and enjoy the views of the countryside. We also have a shared space in the house upstairs where we can prepare shared dinners. We live here at the property so we can help out whenever needed.

Since one of us previously worked remotely and was connected at all different hours of the day, we can say that the satellite-based WIFI internet connection we provide is mostly solid, though there are occasional periods of downtime in the event of strong rain. All things considered, the connection is solid for remote work. The average download speed is 60 Mbps, and the upload speed is 20 Mbps. The WIFI functions around the agritursm, inside and out, though not in the olive orchard/fruit forests/etc. so we recommend getting a temporary SIM card if you would like to work very far away from the structures, or would like a backup for whatever reason.

We maintain a garden, olive orchard, fruit trees, and sometimes animals in addition to the rest of the agriturism. Some of our guests have helped us in tasks around the farm and we are happy to have the company and the help. We are also happy to share fruits and vegetables (seasonally dependant) with those that help!

We currently do not offer a meal plan but at least once or twice a week we are happy to prepare and eat meals together. If we are hosting volunteers during your stay, we all eat together so contact us with your plans if you are interested in this communal aspect. There's no obligation in any case. Otherwise, there are two small supermarkets a few minutes away by car, or various supermarkets in Grosseto that have delicious products from all over Italy, about 15 minutes away by car.

We recommend renting a car or vespa/moto for at least part of your stay since there are so many wonderful places in our area to visit and the reality is that everything is most easily reached by private vehicles. There is a public bus that passes outside our gate, but it only runs twice a day into Grosseto and twice a day back here. The bus arrives in Grosseto and from there you can take another bus or train to different places. Personally, since we are in the countryside on a beautiful property, we happily spend the majority of our time here, but we do make our way to Grosseto a few times a week so we may be able to help with some transport from time to time.

We would like to finish by saying that numerous previous volunteers and guests have contacted us privately to find additional ways to partake in the project we have here. We have a passion for the outdoors and fruit and are doing our best to be part of the sustainable future. As a digital nomad or traveler with skills, you may also be interested in volunteering with us. Contact us so we can get to know each other and what sort of opportunities we may have available.
