This family villa invites connection and conversation; sit with friends by the pool, under the arbor, or inside under a fresco (yes, really). All that’s missing is a glass of good Tuscan wine. Thankfully that can be found in the village with a couple of shops and places to eat, just a short stroll from the villa itself.
Tuscany’s most important cultural centres are nearby. A trip to Volterra (25km) is a must for any history buff. This Bronze Age settlement was one of the "twelve cities" of the Etruscan League - and remains a living museum of history, art, and architecture. You might fly into the nearest airport in Pisa, only 44km away. Or if you're taking the train instead, you'll catch it in Pontedera (25km), a city known for wine and chocolate production.
- If travelling with friends or family, the owner's sister villa, Villa Le Fauci, is just a 5-minute drive away.
- A car is highly recommended to explore the local area.
- The pool is not fenced, so children should be supervised when outdoors.
