Beautifully located for a stroll in the hills, this Tuscan villa invites guests to experience the slow-paced and authentic Italian lifestyle of staying in a typical Tuscan hamlet just twenty minutes from Lajatico. Revealing scenic views of the surrounding countryside, the best place in the house to take it all in is out on the terrace. Here you'll find a private swimming pool, loungers, an alfresco dining area, a barbecue and a children's playground with swing and table tennis. While the interiors feel a little dated in parts, where the classic styling may lack contemporary comfort – they certainly don't lack charm. Nearby towns include Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, and Lucca – all of which are within easy driving reach.

Home truths
Due to the location of this home, we recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay – there’s free parking on the premises for three cars.
One of the bedrooms can be set up as double or twin beds upon request.
The private swimming pool is open from May 1st to October 31st.
The home is spread across two floors, and there are steps down to the garden and pool area, so it may not be suited to those with limited mobility.
Your host provides a welcome basket, including drinks and a platter of fresh mixed cold cuts and cheeses.
While the home sleeps thirteen guests, we think it is best suited to up to ten adults and three children.

Today’s tourists will be only too happy to learn that much of the Tuscan city’s historic centre remains unchanged since...
