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.

Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of the Tuscan hills of the Val di Cecina, Podere Il Chiesino is an exceptional vacation rental that captures the timeless charm of rural Italy. Located just a short distance from the historic borgo of Montecatini Val di Cecina, this beautifully restored stone farmhouse embodies the authentic rustic elegance of the Tuscan countryside. The property spans two floors and welcomes up to 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, offering ample space for families or groups seeking a refined and immersive Italian retreat. The interiors are characterized by terracotta floors in the living area, exposed wooden-beamed ceilings, stone-framed windows, and arched openings that connect the rooms in a graceful, open flow. Warm wooden furnishings and rooms dressed in welcoming earthy tones complete the picture of understated Tuscan elegance. The property is surrounded by a generous, fully fenced garden and yard where guests can stroll freely and enjoy the tranquility of the landscape. A private swimming pool invites relaxation during the warmer months, while convenient on-site parking shaded by tall pine trees ensures a smooth arrival. High-speed internet Wi-Fi keeps guests connected throughout their stay, seamlessly blending modern comfort with the property's traditional character.
Outdoors
The garden surrounding Podere Il Chiesino extends over a beautifully maintained area of 500 square metres within a broader estate of 20 hectares of land, entirely fenced and fully accessible to guests. Lush lawns and a rich variety of trees, including pines, olives, and firs, create numerous shaded spots from which to admire the sweeping panorama over the crags of Volterra and the surrounding hills. The property is further adorned with luxuriant creepers and a colourful variety of flowers such as roses and daisies, while aromatic plants including rosemary and laurel add a distinctly Tuscan sensory dimension to the outdoor experience. The ground-floor bedroom enjoys direct access to the garden, and the main entrance area features a French window beautifully framed by flowering jasmine. On the first floor, the family suite opens onto a small raised terrace in the garden, where a brick-built barbecue invites al fresco cooking. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, so the appearance of the garden, including flower blossoming and the colour of the grass, may differ at the time of your arrival.
The non-heated rectangular infinity pool, measuring 13 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.50 metres, is positioned behind the property in front of the veranda, set on a terrace below the level of the house and accessible via a path and a few stone steps. Lined in sand-coloured granite, the pool features submerged steps for easy water access, internal lighting, and a chlorine purification system. The surrounding sunbathing area is thoughtfully arranged with sofas, umbrellas, and sunbeds, and a cold-water shower is also available. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
One of the property's most celebrated features is the glass-enclosed veranda, a large, light-filled room framed by expansive windows that offer a magnificent view of the town of Volterra. Elegantly furnished with a dining table and a cosy sitting area, this versatile space is ideal for dining in good company or simply relaxing while taking in the surrounding landscape. The veranda overlooks the pool area and serves as a seamless connection between the interior and the natural beauty outside.
