Borgo Senza Tempo Del XVII Secolo Con Viste Mozzafiato Su Volterra

Perched atop a scenic ridge, this enchanting 17th-century hamlet is accessed via a picturesque cypress-lined avenue, offering a commanding view of Volterra, the ancient Tuscan city-state and historic seat of a powerful episcopal lordship that once governed vast stretches of the region’s rolling hills.

Surrounded by a magnificent park adorned with centuries-old trees, the property features a strategically positioned swimming pool that offers breathtaking vistas over the Val d’Era and the iconic Church of San Giusto, a well-known spot for capturing the essence of the Tuscan countryside.
