Our Story
On the top of an hill in front of the historical Tuscan city of Siena and at the entrance of the Crete Senesi, Podere Vesta is an ancient farmhouse built at the end of the 19th century. It was part of the largest Salteano Farm and was inhabited by farming families who worked the fields until the end of World War II, after which it was abandoned and fell into ruin. In the mid-1990s, our family, who has always been living in this area, purchased the property and began a careful rebuilt. Our family personally oversaw the works, with particular attention to materials, styles, the environment, and sustainability, which have always been important for us. Our mission is to preserve and take care for what we have created and to ensure our guests enjoy relax, safety, peace, and harmony.
