You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Country House & Spa - Inside Nature with panoramic views, Art Surrounded

Villanovia is a conservative restoration example of a historic Tuscan farmhouse: it is preserved rustic and original but modernly equipped.
You can enjoy the swimming pool as well relax at hot tub/Jacuzzi; you have the comfort of the air condition, the Internet wifi connection as well Amazon Prime on TV.
Its distinctive special character provides a cozy and warm atmosphere.

The house provides 700sm of internal living accommodation and 37 acres of private land.
Uniquely located on a hilltop inside the natural park of Berignone, overlooking the Cecina valley, the cities of Volterra and Pomarance, the Metallic Hills and Larderello, with the visible geothermal vapors.
Villanovia is off the beaten tracks and worth the 4 Km gravel-road drive, that will take you to our relaxed and far-from-it-all country house.

Staying in our property will offer you a 360° view over unspoiled Tuscany, its history and hills. And you and your family will feel at home!

The house sleeps 20+ (extra beds/futon and + 3 cots are available) in large and comfortable rooms or cosy apartments equipped with a private kitchen corner.

The 16th century groundfloor entrance (all in stone) is the most ancient part of the house. Here you have a sofa area with satellite TV and indoor stairs to the upper floor where 6 accommodations are located, as well as a terrace overlooking Volterra.

Perfectly located for total relax vacation, at the same time offers short rides to the cities of Volterra (9Km), Pisa, Siena (about 60Km each), San Gimignano and Florence, as well as the Etruscan Coast beaches (45Km). A large kitchen and an impressive 170sm stone-walls living room with original brick arches complete the property.
Panoramic swimming pool is 5x12, fenced for children' safety.
Our premium service is the interior stylish room with bubble pool, refreshing and relaxing. It is inspired to the Etruscan thermal springs environment, in rustic murble and stone. Wi-Fi is also available.

Tuscany Vacation
This property was absolutely amazing. It is just like the pictures in the VRBO. We had a large group of friends and it was very comfortable with rooms and bathrooms for everyone. The scenery around the villa was very stunning and amazing sunrises and sunsets to watch. I highly recommend this as a getaway.

Panoramic Villa with breathtaking views
This property is in free heart of rural countryside and as it states, the last few miles are a dirt track. However, the property and views are worth it. Superbly equipped kitchen , lots of seating areas to appreciate the views . Beautiful sunrise and sunsets. Only 35 mins to Volterra. Recommend a car with good tyres.

Never-ending views and birds singing.
Celebrated a big birthday with my family members and friends at Villanovia. We were a total of 24 ranging in age from 6 to 74 spending 11 fabulous days in perfect peace and harmony. The house lends itself to big groups and felt in fact empty when we were only 18 the last couple of days. Situated at the end of a scenic "driveway" (was technically not our driveway but felt like it) the house perch, like many Tuscan structures do, on a hill with 360 degree views with not a man-made sound to be heard, utter bliss to a city dweller. The house itself is kept in impeccable condition and is fully equipped. The owner was in the area for work the first 4 days and stayed at their separate house on the property. He was very helpful, friendly and full of information about the area. I would definately go back and my brother and his family is already planning on returning next summer. Camilla

Spacious house in nature
The place is in the middle of a huge green area, ideal for those who want peace and quiet location. We were in group of 19 and there was plenty of room for everyone to be comfortable. Marco, the owner, is very attentive to all details and always around to help. House ammenities were a plus for those rainy days when we could not visit sorrounding Tuscan cities.
