Nestled on the western slopes facing the Cecina Valley, this prestigious property dates back to the 14th century and was masterfully restored in 2005. The conservative restoration preserved its 1300s soul, transforming the ancient building into a refined summer residence and hospitality estate. Surrounded by the silence of the Volterra hills, the villa represents a perfect balance between historical heritage and the wild beauty of the Tuscan landscape.

The property spans a total surface of 520 sqm, divided into a main manor house and six independent apartments. The main residence features a spacious kitchen, a cozy living room, and guest facilities on the ground floor, while the upper floor houses three elegant bedrooms. The six apartments, ranging from 60 to 70 sqm, offer generous living spaces including an eat-in kitchen, a lounge, and two bedrooms each. Every interior space reflects the sobriety of rustic luxury, with high-end finishes that honor the original architecture, while ensuring a layout designed for high-level hospitality and maximum guest privacy.

The exterior is dominated by a majestic 106-hectare estate, including 95 hectares of arable land that create an exceptional agricultural mosaic. The heart of the relaxation area is the 12x6-meter swimming pool, strategically positioned to enjoy views of the hills sloping toward the coast. The surrounding grounds feature lush vegetation and open spaces offering direct contact with nature, creating an atmosphere of absolute tranquility. The property integrates harmoniously into the landscape, offering panoramic views stretching across the rolling hills to the horizon.

The villa is distinguished by its immediate proximity to Mauro Staccioli’s ”Anello” (Ring); the sculpture, located at the edge of the property in the countryside’s most evocative spot, elevates its artistic and cultural prestige. The total 2005 renovation ensures modern living standards within a perfectly preserved 14th-century context. The versatility of the structures allows for optimal management as either a private representative residence or a prestigious boutique hospitality business.
Located a short distance from the ancient village of Volterra, the property enjoys a privileged and dominant position. West-facing, the location is bathed in sunlight until sunset, combining the charm of Etruscan history with the serenity of a timeless, curated hilly landscape.

Perched on a majestic hilltop overlooking the Cecina Valley, Volterra is a rare gem where history is felt in every cobblestone street. Renowned for its ancient Etruscan roots and exquisite alabaster craftsmanship, the town offers an authentic and sophisticated atmosphere, far from the reach of mass tourism. The surrounding landscape is a captivating tapestry of rolling hills and dramatic ridges, providing breathtaking views and absolute privacy. Its strategic location is perfect for those seeking the true Tuscan lifestyle without sacrificing convenience: within less than an hour, you can reach the pristine beaches of the Tyrrhenian coast, the artistic treasures of Siena, and the Pisa International Airport.
