Property Summary
Nestled among fragrant pine trees and lush Mediterranean scrub, Villa Gaius is an extraordinary vacation rental set in an elevated position that commands sweeping views of the sea below, located in Rosignano Marittimo, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy. Dating back to the end of the 19th century and thoughtfully renovated in 2004 by its current owners, the villa has been carefully restored to preserve and enhance its original Art Nouveau character while incorporating all the comforts of modern living. The elegant pale yellow exterior plasterwork, the refined balustrades with small columns, and the intricate detailing of the balconies and windows all speak to the architectural heritage that defines this remarkable property. Inside, warm and welcoming wall tones, large windows, marble finishes, and precious parquet flooring create an atmosphere of refined Tuscan elegance. A particularly distinctive feature is the panoramic turret, used as a study, which offers a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape stretching all the way to the sea. The property also boasts a beautiful enclosed veranda, functioning as a true winter garden, where an elegant marble dining table invites convivial gatherings in every season. The villa has been subjected to a thorough technical check-up before the beginning of the season to ensure that all described features, accessories, and facilities are consistent, operational, and well-maintained, guaranteeing quality, cleanliness, and comfort for every guest. The approximately 900 square metre garden surrounding the property provides a serene and private setting, with a dedicated parking area conveniently located just past the entrance gate, as well as an additional covered parking area at the rear of the garden, shared with the owners. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, keeping you connected during your stay.
Outdoors
The beautifully landscaped garden extending around Villa Gaius covers approximately 900 square metres and is partially fenced and entirely walkable, offering a rich tapestry of Mediterranean vegetation that creates a naturally shaded and tranquil retreat. Tall Mediterranean pines, elegant palm trees, colourful mimosa trees, and a variety of flowering and ornamental plants are arranged in well-defined islands bordered by brick kerbs, lending the garden a structured yet organic elegance. Aromatic herbs line the path leading to the rear of the villa, adding a sensory dimension to the outdoor experience. In front of the main entrance, a gravel area accessed by stone steps and framed by a balustrade with small columns is furnished with tables and chairs, providing a charming spot to relax and take in the surroundings. In front of the veranda, a tiled outdoor dining area, also bordered by a balustrade with small columns, is equipped with umbrellas, a dining table, and a comfortable sitting area. A short distance along the gravel path from this outdoor dining space, you will find a built-in barbecue and wood oven, ideal for alfresco cooking and entertaining. The swimming pool is positioned in the area behind the villa, along the boundary wall, and is reached from the veranda via a gravel path that follows the perimeter of the property, then up a few stone steps to the solarium area. The rectangular infinity pool measures 11 x 4 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 1.90 metres, and features tile lining, chlorine purification, internal lighting, a ladder, and a diving board. The pool is non-heated. The paved solarium area surrounding the pool is equipped with sunbeds, a large umbrella, and a hot and cold-water shower, while a convenient wooden changing room is located adjacent to the pool area.

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.

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.
