1600s Village Near The Dominant Medieval City Of Volterra

We present an enchanting 1600s village located on a ridge accessible via a picturesque cypress-lined avenue, just a few kilometers from Volterra, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the ancient Tuscan city-state. This village, which once housed a hospital in the Middle Ages and was later united in 1383 with the Santa Maria Maddalena Hospital of Volterra, exudes an atmosphere rich in history and charm.
The property includes a noble villa dating back to the 1600s, an adjacent building originally dedicated to the land caretakers, and an additional structure used as a barn. All of this is surrounded by a large park with centuries-old trees, where you will find a relaxation area with a swimming pool, strategically positioned in the garden to enjoy spectacular views of the Val d’Era and the Church of San Giusto, one of the main tourist and photographic points of interest in the Tuscan countryside.
The main villa, approximately 600 sqm, is spread over three levels and is an example of elegant residential architecture of the time, adorned with frescoes and antique furnishings. This uniquely charming property has been chosen as a personal residence for several seasons by Luchino Visconti and Helmut Berger. On the ground floor, there is a large frescoed entrance, two living rooms, a dining room, a spacious lounge, a game room with a private bathroom, as well as a covered terrace draped in climbing vegetation. Completing this floor are two bathrooms, a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, and a spacious kitchen with a pantry, both positioned to keep odors away from the living areas.
A staircase in the entrance hall leads to the first floor, where there is another lounge and seven bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom and storage. In the basement, accessible from the kitchen or the back of the villa, there are large cellars of approximately 100 sqm, which can also be used as a garage, and a bathroom with access to the driveway at the back.
Next to the villa, via a charming pergola-covered pathway adorned with climbing plants, there is another residence of approximately 130 sqm over two levels, more recent, dedicated to the caretakers of the surrounding land. On the ground floor, there are splendid cellars of 80 sqm with large vaulted ceilings, while on the first level, there are five rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a spacious living room.
Completing the property is a charming barn of approximately 90 sqm. The estate extends over about 10 hectares of land, with 3 hectares dedicated to olive oil production, thanks to around 600 centuries-old olive trees.
A small pond with a belvedere at the entrance of the road leading to the village further enriches the landscape, as does a picturesque natural spring called “La Fantaccia,” nestled in the surrounding wooded areas. For parking, there are about 10 spaces available in front of the main entrance and an additional area at the back.
Located 5 km from Volterra (PI); 23 km from Pisa Airport (PI); 50 km from the sea; 87 km from Florence; 61 km from Siena.
