Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan hills just a short distance from the medieval village of Volterra, Italy, Villa Francesca is an exceptional vacation rental that invites guests to experience the authentic charm of the Italian countryside. Recently built and thoughtfully integrated within a centuries-old olive grove, the villa combines natural elegance with warm, welcoming interiors. The open-plan living area, featuring a living room and dining room, flows seamlessly onto a panoramic terrace overlooking a breathtaking valley framed by olive trees, cultivated fields, and woodland. Every room has been designed with careful attention to detail, offering restful views of the surrounding landscape. The property extends across approximately 2,000 square meters of beautifully maintained outdoor space, including manicured lawns, gravel pathways, and a dedicated pool area. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the property, a private parking area accommodating up to 4 vehicles, and a generous yard that creates a true sense of seclusion. It is worth noting that the owners reside in an adjoining villa; however, the guest accommodation is entirely separate and has been specifically designed to ensure complete privacy.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces at Villa Francesca are as impressive as the interiors, offering a harmonious blend of natural beauty and thoughtfully arranged leisure areas. A large panoramic wooden terrace, accessible directly from both the kitchen and the living room, serves as the heart of outdoor living, furnished with a dining table, a comfortable outdoor sitting area, and a barbecue. The grounds alternate between lawn, gravel surfaces, olive trees, and walkways that connect every corner of the property, creating a cohesive and inviting environment. The non-heated infinity pool is a true highlight, overlooking a suggestive terraced area with sweeping hilly views. Rectangular in shape, the pool measures 10 x 4 meters and is equipped with a chlorine purification system. On one of its short sides, a dedicated hydromassage area has been designed to accommodate up to 4 people. The pool is accessible from the terrace via a wooden staircase of 6 steps and is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Surrounding the pool, a generous solarium area combines a wooden deck of approximately 20 square meters with a lawn area of approximately 100 square meters, fully equipped with sun loungers and umbrellas. A short gravel driveway lined with cypress trees leads from the pedestrian gate to the villa, adding a picturesque and characterful arrival experience.
