Outstanding Landscapes
Nestled among picturesque medieval villages in the tranquil and undisturbed natural environment and extraordinary landscapes of Volterra, Villa Dei Cedri is the perfect villa for any food, wine or nature-lover. While you will feel utterly isolated and at one with the natural world, in fact, the closest town of Iona is within a 5-minute drive.
The home is just 3 miles from both tennis and golf facilities, with Castelfalfi club, the most extensive course in the whole of Tuscany, within sight of the villa! So, whether you’re aiming to be professional or are yet to try your hand at this thoroughly relaxing sport, as an exclusive guest of the club, now is the perfect opportunity to indulge, in the luscious surroundings of vineyards and cypress trees, where you may even encounter a little of the local wildlife, including pheasants and hares!
This incredible villa is ideally located to both visit the famous art cities, with Siena, a UNESCO World Heritage site, about an hour’s drive away, or Florence a little further afield, ideal for a day trip, and for enjoying the tranquil calm of the Tuscan countryside.
In the area, you will find plenty of opportunities for wine tasting, as a world-famous wine (and olive oil!) producing region, celebrated by Verdi, Michelangelo and many others. Within 12 miles are both Montaione and San Gimignano towns, and it is less than 50 miles to Lucca, Pisa, Florence and Siena!
On-site, you will also find a little fishing lake, great for a peaceful few hours at one with nature, and by arrangement, in nearby Marina di Cecina, you can take a fantastic morning out, experiencing authentic sea fishing! Just 15 miles away you will also find the possibility to go horseback riding.
