In the heart of Val d’Orcia national park stands a splendid ancient cottage. “La Poderina” as it is called dates back to only the 1700s and emerges by the medieval road known as “Via Francigena”, a road which once belonged to foreigners and wayfarers. This antique building still maintains its marvelous beauty thanks to the “Zali” family which settled down in it by the years 1900 and who still live in the cottage cultivating and preserving it with love.
