This charming villa stands on a hill of poplars and olive trees with a view ranging over a unique panorama from the hills of Castel Fiorentino to the tower of San Miniato, providing guests with breathtaking views. The villa is surrounded by a green lawn where you can walk barefoot, immersed in a profusion of multicoloured flowering trees and various medicinal plants that will entrance you with their scent. The various corners of the garden, such as the antique well surrounded by the Mediterranean scent of rosemary with the relaxation area, the fountain in Renaissance terracotta and the belvedere where you can relax with a book while admiring the sunset surrounded by the perfume of the roses, will make your holiday unique. Not far from the villa, set in the park, is the panoramic blue-coloured swimming pool with Roman steps where you can relax, sipping an aperitif by the pool or stretching out on the sunbeds in the solarium area. Next to the fenced swimming pool there is the play area for children. The villa has been tastefully restored by the owner without neglecting any comforts, combining elegant furnishing with a touch of sobriety. There are many particular corners, realised with the best materials of Tuscan tradition such as ceilings with wooden beams and tiles, terracotta flooring on the ground floor and wooden flooring on the first floor and a sandstone fireplace. The two-storey structure has air-conditioned bedrooms overlooking the garden, bathrooms with shower, elegant living areas, a billiard area, a splendid kitchen with indoor BBQ, the porch with outdoor dining and living area in front of the kitchen, all enhanced by the panoramic swimming pool. The strategic position of this property means that main tourist destinations such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Montecatini Terme and Siena, as well as the Tyrrhenian coast with the renowned golden beaches of Versilia with the “pearl”, Forte dei Marmi, are all within easy reach. The villa is an excellent starting point for bike excursions; for those who just want to relax in the large garden there are cosy set-up areas where they can enjoy the country atmosphere in contact with nature. For wellness enthusiasts, just 45 minutes away is Grotta Giusti with its thermal baths in the grotto or Casciana Terme with its outdoor thermal pool.
