Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside near Palaia, in the heart of Italy, Villa Iole is an extraordinary vacation rental steeped in history and elegance. This refined country house dates back to the early 16th century and was originally part of the Fattoria di Montefoscoli, a historic estate once owned by the celebrated composer Ruggero Leoncavallo in the 19th century. Over the centuries, the property passed through the hands of several noble families from Pisa and Florence before being acquired by the Orazzini wine producers. Today, the fully renovated villa masterfully blends historic architectural details — including original terracotta floors and traditional Tuscan design — with modern, designer furnishings in bright, neutral tones. Spanning approximately 360 sqm across 2 floors and divided into 4 independent housing units, Villa Iole is ideally suited for couples, families, and groups of friends who wish to enjoy both privacy and conviviality in an exclusive setting. When the property is rented as a whole, no other guests will be present on site. The estate extends across approximately 20,000 sqm, partially fenced, and features a generous yard with large areas of natural lawn, a small wood, and an olive grove. A gravel driveway lined with cypress trees leads gracefully to the villa and its dedicated parking area. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Iole are as impressive as the interior, offering a variety of settings for relaxation and al fresco dining. Adjacent to the villa, a tiled terrace has been thoughtfully arranged with a comfortable lounge area, a traditional brick barbecue, and a spacious outdoor dining area, all enlivened by the fragrance of aromatic plants. The surrounding garden, covering approximately 5,000 sqm of the total estate, is composed of expansive natural lawn areas and is further enriched by a small wood and an olive grove at its far end. The non-heated swimming pool is situated at the far end of the garden, easily reached by walking across the lawn. Rectangular in shape, it measures 14 x 7 metres with a depth of 1.50 metres, and is lined in natural stone with Roman steps for access and internal lighting. The pool features both chlorine and salt purification systems and is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. The surrounding solarium area is paved in natural grey stone and equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, while 2 gazebos with lounge seating and a table are set on the lawn nearby. A cold-water outdoor shower completes the pool area.
