Description
Property Summary
Villa Irma is an exquisitely renovated vacation rental nestled in the heart of Casciana Terme, in the celebrated Pisan hills of Tuscany, Italy. Recently restored with meticulous attention to every detail, this three-floor residence embodies the elegance of French Art Nouveau style, expressed through its dove grey and ivory exterior walls and stylised rinceaux motifs adorning the windows and glass doors. Indoors, the design journey unfolds through elegant forms, pure colours, and contemporary objets d'art, with luxurious custom-made furniture inspired by refined modernity, exclusive upholstery, and carefully curated accessories that together create an atmosphere of warmth and exceptional comfort. Prestigious Italian herringbone parquet flooring graces the bedrooms and living areas, while the minimalist bathrooms feature king-size showers, suspended fixtures, and original marble slabs sourced from the renowned Carrara quarries. The kitchen presents a total white décor combined with white lacquered wood furniture and a black alabaster worktop of contemporary lines. Decorative stucco ceilings add dynamism and elegance throughout, completing a residence of truly high-profile architectural distinction.
Villa Irma benefits from a fully enclosed park of 1,100 sq m, ensuring complete privacy despite its central location within the town. The property offers a heated swimming pool, a beautifully landscaped yard planted with larches, cypresses, viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus, as well as uncovered parking for up to 4 cars conveniently located near the laundry room. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay.
Outdoors
The 1,100 sq m park of Villa Irma is laid out in a revisited Baroque style, with large areas of lawn interspersed with sandstone, grit, and gravel paving. Majestic larches and cypresses provide generous natural shade, while viburnums, rose bushes, hydrangeas, and hibiscus add colour and fragrance throughout the seasons. A large Baroque fountain featuring horses and shells welcomes guests at the main entrance, and stone statues are thoughtfully integrated throughout the grounds, lending the garden an impressive and distinguished character. The entire property is fully enclosed: along the sides bordering neighbouring buildings, a perimeter wall is softened by bamboo plants and vines, while the sides facing the road and avenue are bordered by railings and hedges of young red robin photinias, typical of noble residences. From the road, an automatic entrance gate leads to a stabilised white gravel driveway connecting to the parking area. A separate pedestrian gate opens onto the tree-lined avenue that links the villa to the spa along a pleasant walk through the residential area of Cafaggio.
The swimming pool is situated on the same level as the ground floor, approximately 30 metres away, reached via the gravel driveway and lawn and then up a few stone steps. The rectangular pool measures 5 x 10 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.50 to 2.20 metres. It features a marble grit edge, sand-coloured PVC lining, chlorine purification, a metal ladder, and 6 Roman steps for water access. The pool can be heated on request and is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. The non-slip stone-paved solarium is equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, and a solar shower. Adjacent to the pool, a romantic gazebo in stone and wisteria with wrought iron furnishings and an outdoor lounge with armchairs and sofas invite guests to relax in a secluded and picturesque setting. Both the pool and solarium are equipped with lighting, and piped music enhances the atmosphere of this outdoor retreat.
The external dining area, connected directly to the interior dining room and therefore conveniently close to the kitchen, is set up with umbrellas, a barbecue, and a dining table, making it an ideal space for alfresco meals. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring during the flowering season, and the appearance of the garden, including the grass colour and blossoming, may differ at the time of your arrival.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled just 3 kilometers from the historic center of Siena, in the heart of Italy's most celebrated Tuscan landscape, La Fonte di Santa Regina is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends ancient character with contemporary luxury. Perched atop a scenic hill and embraced by rolling expanses of vineyards, olive groves, and cultivated fields, this magnificent estate offers breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Monte Amiata to the iconic Torre del Mangia. At the heart of the property stands a beautifully restored farmhouse, where exposed stone, warm wood, and carefully selected modern materials come together in a refined balance of tradition and minimalist design.

A large parking area, situated at the end of a short internal driveway and just steps from the house entrances, is accessible via an automatic access gate, providing both convenience and security. The beautifully maintained park of approximately 1,500 square meters surrounds the residence, offering generous outdoor spaces for relaxation and recreation.

The expertly designed park of around 1,500 square meters surrounds the house with winding paths bordered by flowering bushes of aromatic herbs, leading to the two ground floor entrances of the villa. Manicured lawns, young olive and cypress trees, and abundant plantings of lavender, rosemary, myrtle, and sage adorn the walkways that connect the various outdoor living areas. Two gazebos, positioned on either side of the house in a panoramic setting, offer shaded retreats with sweeping views, while a charming seating area at the entrance to the pool zone invites quiet moments of relaxation. A children's play area and a ping-pong table provide entertainment for younger guests, and a wood oven together with a dedicated barbecue area complete the outdoor amenities.

Originally a working farmhouse, the property has been thoughtfully enlarged and renovated in full respect of its original character and the exquisitely Tuscan architectural tradition, where wood and terracotta define every room, and antique family furniture together with details evoking the rural history and local traditions create an atmosphere of warmth and authenticity. Set on a hillside within a property covering approximately 10,000 square meters, Villa Caterina enjoys a superb panoramic position overlooking rolling hills, cultivated vineyards, olive groves, and the iconic towers of San Gimignano.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscan countryside, Casa La Fenice is a splendid vacation rental that takes its evocative name from the phoenix, the mythical bird symbolising rebirth — a metaphor that could not be more fitting for this beautifully restored property. Once a simple country farmhouse, Casa La Fenice has been lovingly transformed into an elegant Tuscan residence through a meticulous renovation carried out with deep personal attachment by its owner. The property is situated just outside the town of Pomarance, in Italy, approximately 1 km from the town centre, in a lesser-known yet extraordinarily beautiful corner of Tuscany where verdant hills, nature reserves, and the otherworldly lunar landscapes of the Valle di Diavolo create a scenery of rare and almost mysterious beauty. The residence is enveloped by a fully fenced garden of approximately 20,000 square metres, offering complete privacy and tranquillity. A newly constructed swimming pool, a generous yard adorned with dry-stone walls, fruit trees, and olive trees, ample private parking just past the entrance gate, and high-speed Internet Wi-Fi connectivity all contribute to making this property an exceptional retreat for those seeking comfort, nature, and authentic Tuscan character.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casa La Fenice are as thoughtfully designed as the interior, offering a rich variety of environments for relaxation, dining, and recreation across an expansive flat garden of approximately 20,000 square metres, entirely enclosed by fencing. Lawn areas are delimited by charming dry-stone walls and enlivened by aromatic herb bushes, fruit trees, and an abundance of olive trees, creating a quintessentially Tuscan atmosphere. A large portico with a dining table is conveniently positioned at the kitchen exit, providing an ideal setting for al fresco meals. A wooden gazebo with a table and relaxing sunbeds is located near the swimming pool, offering a shaded retreat during warm days. The barbecue area is equipped with both a wood oven and a barbecue, perfect for outdoor cooking and entertaining. A delightful pool of water lilies adds a decorative and serene touch to the garden landscape. The hydromassage tub, with its adjacent guest bathroom, is also available in the outdoor area. The newly built swimming pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 5 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.30 metres. It is lined in sand-coloured PVC and features chlorine purification, internal lights, and Roman steps for easy water access. The pool is non-heated and is surrounded by a sunbathing area paved in stoneware, complete with sunbeds, umbrellas, and a cold-water shower. The pool is available from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October. The parking area is located just past the entrance gate of the property, in close proximity to the house entrances.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled near a nature reserve in the heart of Tuscany, Podere Santa Croce is an exceptional vacation rental that invites you to experience the timeless beauty of the Italian countryside. Situated within a wooded area surrounding Radicondoli, a panoramic village to the east of the province of Siena, Italy, this beautifully restored stone farmhouse offers an authentic retreat immersed in nature. The property is embraced by a verdant landscape of oaks, holm oaks, and poplars, creating a serene and private atmosphere ideal for long walks and quiet contemplation. Comprising a main farmhouse and an adjoining annex, Podere Santa Croce has been skilfully renovated using original materials integrated with local handcrafted elements, preserving the character and soul of traditional rural architecture. The property extends over a terrain of 1.7 hectares, offering generous outdoor space and a sense of complete seclusion. A private parking area accommodates up to 6 uncovered vehicles as well as 1 car in a covered garage, ensuring convenient arrival and departure. Wi-Fi internet connectivity is available throughout the property, keeping you connected whenever needed. The surrounding yard, rich with aromatic herbs, cultivated gardens, and natural woodland, completes this idyllic picture of countryside living at its finest.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces at Podere Santa Croce are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape, offering a harmonious blend of cultivated beauty and natural wilderness. The grounds surrounding both the farmhouse and the annex are partly natural, with oaks and poplars providing pleasant shaded areas, and partly cultivated with oleanders, helichrysum, rosemary, and laurel. Paved terraces, particularly the generous one situated between the main house and the annex, are perfectly suited for setting up long tables for convivial al fresco dining and shared moments. Ground floor rooms open directly onto the garden, where large furnished terraces allow you to soak in the peaceful atmosphere of the surrounding countryside. The property is accessed via a dirt road that leads directly into the estate, and the parking area, located behind the house in a secluded section of the property, includes a partly covered garage for 1 car and uncovered spaces for up to 6 vehicles. The garage also serves as a storeroom equipped with a chest freezer and a laundry area. A dedicated storeroom beneath the swimming pool houses the pool's technical equipment as well as farm tools and machinery.
The non-heated swimming pool is a focal point of the outdoor experience, positioned 30 metres from both the farmhouse and the annex on a terrace paved with terracotta and partially enclosed by fragrant hedges of laurel, oleander, rosemary, helichrysum, and lavender. Rectangular in shape and measuring 16 x 8 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.50 to 2.50 metres, the pool is lined in PVC and features chlorine purification and internal lighting. A solar shower is available poolside for your convenience. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October, with access times from 8 am to 7 pm. A few metres from the house, a beautiful heated hot tub designed for 5 people is available and open all year round, offering a luxurious complement to the outdoor relaxation experience. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
