This loving restoration has stayed loyal to the villa’s past, maintaining the original terracotta tiles, gorgeous chestnut wood beams and interior stone walls, whilst adding lavish modern furnishings and the large infinity pool to create the perfect marriage of old and new.
It's not just the wonderful open-plan living and dining spaces and four fine en suite bedrooms that will impress you here. Climb up the narrow spiral staircase at the very top and be rewarded with the most wonderful Tuscan views from your very own little lounge above the roof of the house.
Outside, there are some beautiful spots for al-fresco dining or simply enjoying a glass of local wine as you gaze at the lovely landscapes around you. The swimming pool is also inviting with its whirlpool feature and there’s even a little children’s area for youngsters to splash around.
There’s a little village with an authentic restaurant the owner recommends just 1.5km away and typical local shops a little further. For a morning out exploring, head to the historic and enchanting towns of Volterra and San Gimignano or visit the idyllic village of San Miniato. Pisa, Florence and Siena are also perfectly positioned for amazing days out as are a wealth of pretty villages, medieval towns and undulating Tuscan countryside.
Indeed, this region has forever been a place of rest, and was where the Knights Templar would come to soothe mind, body and soul during the time of the Crusades. Come follow this tradition with friends or family, and experience this timeless area of peace and relaxation, steeped in ancient history.
- The spiral staircase leading up to the small panoramic lounge at very top of the house is narrow and steep - children will need to be supervised.
- If travelling with family or friends, the owner's sister villa, Villa Dania, is around a five-minute drive away
- Please note that the villa is accessed via a dusty road.
- The owner's hotel is next door to the villa, though guests at Villa Le Fauci have complete privacy.
- The pool is not fenced, so children should be supervised when outdoors.
- A car is highly recommended to explore the local area.
