The outdoor spaces of Villa Paesante are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape, offering guests a rich variety of environments in which to relax, explore, and entertain. The expansive park is enclosed by tall trees planted around its perimeter, guaranteeing complete privacy while welcoming guests with a well-kept lawn enriched by pines, cypresses, typical Tuscan plants, and a variety of medicinal and aromatic herbs. Multicoloured floral essences and fragrant blooms frame the outdoor areas, creating a sensory experience unique to this part of Tuscany. A shaded portico serves as the heart of outdoor living, housing an elegant relaxation area furnished with armchairs and an outdoor dining area complete with a mobile barbecue, all facing the park. Guests are also invited to enjoy a ping-pong table, a table football area, and a billiard table located in the annex adjacent to the pool, making the outdoor spaces equally suited to leisure and entertainment. At the centre of the garden sits the splendid rectangular swimming pool, measuring 5 x 9 metres with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.80 metres. The non-heated pool is lined in sea-blue PVC and features salt purification, internal lighting, and Roman steps on one side for easy water access. A terracotta solarium fully equipped with sunbeds surrounds the pool, shaded by maritime pines that lend the area an atmosphere of natural elegance. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Guests are kindly reminded that photographs of the property are typically taken in spring, and therefore the colours, blooms, and appearance of the gardens and lawns may vary at the time of arrival.
