Amazing Tuscan Retreat Villa San Gerbero

Villa San Gerbero
A timeless Tuscan retreat in the heart of Valdera
Villa San Gerbero is located on the gentle hillside of San Gerbero, once the site of a modest 18th-century farmhouse. The villa is a masterfully restored property that blends the romance of rural Tuscany with modern elegance.
Surrounded by well-tended Mediterranean gardens and centuries-old olive groves, the villa offers stunning views of the rolling hills of Valdera. Here, guests can enjoy a peaceful and elegant holiday surrounded by nature, history and refined comfort.
From the moment you arrive, the villa exudes an atmosphere of discreet luxury. Traditional terracotta floors, exposed chestnut beams and hand-painted murals complement the large French doors that let natural light and fresh country air into every corner. Every detail has been carefully thought out, from the luxurious furnishings and gourmet kitchen to the intimate corners and sun-drenched communal areas, creating the perfect environment for both socialising and peaceful retreat.
At the centre of the property is a spectacular infinity pool in a private panoramic location. Here you can bask in the Tuscan sun, admire the vineyards below and breathe in the scent of lavender and rosemary that fills the warm breeze.
