Il Limoneto

The very definition of Italian romance, this beautiful home in the village of Orentano is an ode to country living and sweet serenity. Sitting within the grounds of a larger villa, this apartment blends rustic charm with modern comforts to create a most memorable stay.

From its tiled floors to its beamed ceilings, there’s an air of old Tuscan tradition here, bringing together classical and contemporary furnishings in elegant fashion. We love the large windows here that give way to views of the shared grounds – a lush green garden dotted with centuries-old trees and a glistening communal pool framed by sun loungers. Spend your days taking cool dips in its waters, soaking up the sun on the deck chairs and enjoying the table tennis, foosball and football field on offer. You’ve also got a private alfresco dining area adjacent to your apartment, the ideal spot to gather for sunny breakfasts or a celebratory barbecue feast under the stars.

At the end of a fun day, retreat to your beautifully curated bedrooms for a dreamy night’s sleep, and wake to the prospect of another day of fun, filled with bicycle rides around the stunning countryside and cooking classes organised by your wonderfully friendly hosts who live on-site in a neighbouring apartment.

While you could easily spend your entire stay luxuriating in your home's breathtaking setting, take some time to visit the nearby cultural sights of Pisa (just over forty minutes away by car) and Lucca (just under a thirty-minute drive).
