Romantic Tuscan Reatreat Overlooking Volterra

Nestled in the tranquillity of an ancient borgo amid the gentle rolling hills, this captivating stone barn embodies the authentic essence of Tuscany: the charm of rural architecture, the tranquillity of a secluded and exclusive setting, and breathtaking views to be enjoyed in every season. Thoughtfully renovated with meticulous attention to detail, the property is both intimate, elegant and inviting, with interiors designed to blend contemporary comfort with the character and authenticity of the original structure. The house forms part of a section of the borgo comprising just six residences, contributing to the intimate, peaceful and exclusive character of this unique setting, and is thoughtfully laid out, featuring a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a fully equipped bespoke kitchen and a characterful mezzanine with sofa bed, ideal for accommodating family and friends. Great attention has been paid to the quality of the finishes and the furnishings: the bespoke kitchen, custom-made by Asso Cucine, is enhanced by an elegant light Carrara marble worktop and an induction hob. The furnishings are all handcrafted and custom-made, lending the interiors a refined and authentic atmosphere. The fully dimmable lightning allows different and atmospheric moods to be created throughout the day. The property is entirely gas-free and is equipped with split systems for cooling in summer and heating in winter, as well as a charming wood-burning stove that further enhances the authentic character of the interiors. The windows are fitted with double glazing and insect screens, ensuring a high level of comfort and insulation throughout the year. The property is completed by a cellar and a private garden: an exclusive outdoor retreat where you can relax, read, enjoy al fresco dining, or simply take in the beauty of the surrounding landscape. The property’s true distinguishing feature is its panoramic position. From the borgo, the view opens out across the valley and the gently rolling hills, extending towards the evocative skyline of Volterra. The landscape is constantly changing with the light and colours of the seasons, making every moment spent outdoors a truly captivating experience. Residents also have access to a panoramic swimming pool, nestled amid the greenery and tranquillity of the borgo, complete with a dedicated relaxation area and hydromassage facilities. Annual condominium fees amount to approximately €3,500. This is a place to experience the most authentic side of Tuscany, surrounded by country lanes, historic villages, rolling hills and some of Italy’s most iconic destinations. The property is an ideal choice as a second home in Tuscany, a refined holiday retreat or an investment in the heart of one of Italy’s most sought-after landscapes, with the potential to also be used as a holiday rental. An intimate and charming home, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
