Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Lajatico, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Casale Teatro is an exceptional vacation rental that draws its name and inspiration from the nearby Teatro del Silenzio, the prestigious open-air theatre set within the natural amphitheatre of the Uccelliera, located approximately 2 kilometres from the property. Built in the tradition of classic Tuscan architecture, the casale features a striking open-face stone façade, warm terracotta floors, and wooden ceiling beams that lend the interior an authentic and welcoming character. The property is part of a well-established organic agritourism estate spanning approximately 400 hectares, offering guests a rare and complete retreat in unspoilt countryside. Surrounded by approximately 800 square metres of beautifully maintained garden, the property enjoys sweeping panoramic views over the Pisan hills, the ancient Rocca di Pietra Cassia, and the picturesque borgo of Lajatico with its towering Torre Civica. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. 2 dedicated parking areas are provided on site, one positioned in front of the main entrance and a second directly in front of the downstairs porch, both accessible from the entrance gate shared with the neighbouring Casale Fienile. The yard surrounding the property is thoughtfully landscaped, enriched with colourful blooms, broom bushes, young cypress trees, and olive trees that line the driveway and frame the pool area, creating a serene and quintessentially Tuscan setting.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casale Teatro are designed to make the most of the extraordinary natural surroundings and the tranquil atmosphere of the Tuscan countryside. The garden of approximately 800 square metres is delimited on one side by a hedge screen that ensures privacy from the neighbouring property. Within this beautifully kept space, a gazebo fitted with a table and chairs provides a charming setting for alfresco dining in the shade. A brick-built structure housing a barbecue is positioned near the swimming pool, adding to the outdoor entertaining possibilities. A spacious lounge area is set up beneath the wide downstairs porch, offering a cool and shaded retreat during the warmer months. The non-heated swimming pool is situated just 10 metres from the house and occupies a privileged position within the garden, offering breathtaking views over the Rocca di Pietra Cassia, the Teatro del Silenzio, and the village of Lajatico.

A cold-water outdoor shower is also available in this area. The pool uses chlorine purification and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you will find upon arrival.

Casale Teatro accommodates up to 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, distributed over 2 floors within a two-storey house of approximately 160 square metres.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the breathtaking Costa degli Etruschi, known in English as the Coast of the Etruscans, Villa Corallina stands as one of the most remarkable vacation rental opportunities along the Tuscan coastline of Italy. Located in Marina di Bibbona, in the municipality of Bibbona, this extraordinary property dates back to 1920 and was constructed using perforated bricks and original Tuscan materials in an architectural style reminiscent of the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In the post-war period, the villa served as the beach residence of the Marquises Ginori, and until the 1990s it functioned as a "Kinderheim," one of the many traditional summer camps for children. A meticulous restoration project carried out by the current owners in collaboration with architect Ponte of Genova resulted in the complete renovation of the original building while preserving the surrounding garden, which consists predominantly of Mediterranean maquis. The property extends across approximately 5 acres of lush grounds, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Guests benefit from private parking on the estate, a well-maintained yard that seamlessly blends natural Mediterranean vegetation with carefully tended outdoor spaces, and wireless internet connectivity throughout the property.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Corallina are truly exceptional, reflecting both the natural beauty of the Tuscan coastline and the thoughtful stewardship of the current owners. The expansive park is composed entirely of Mediterranean maquis and a dense pine wood, maintained in excellent condition and offering a serene, natural atmosphere. Beneath the old oak trees in front of the house, a dedicated play area features a ping-pong table, providing entertainment for guests of all ages. A magnificent portico, ideal for leisurely lunches and romantic dinners, opens directly onto the beach and offers stunning views of the red sunsets over the sea. A wooden gate located just a few metres from the portico leads directly to the beach, where guests may set up sunbeds to enjoy the sun-filled days. 2 showers with hot water are available at the beach access point for added convenience. Both the sea-facing side and the pool side of the property are furnished with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, creating comfortable outdoor living areas throughout the estate. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring; therefore, the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The oval-shaped, non-heated swimming pool is positioned on the north side of the villa, nestled within a natural hollow in the sand dunes that already existed on the site, encircled by an amphitheatre of juniper hedges. In keeping with the owners' deep respect for the environment, no trees were cut down during its construction. The pool measures 9 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.90 metres, is purified with chlorine, and features a swimming upstream function. The surrounding pool area is equipped with a bar area, deckchairs, sunbeds, umbrellas, a shower with hot water, tables, and chairs.

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.

Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside near the village of Montefoscoli, in Palaia, Italy, Villa Iole is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined modern comfort. This elegant country house dates back to the early 16th century and was originally part of the Montefoscoli Farm, a property once owned by the celebrated composer Ruggero Leoncavallo in the 19th century. Over the following centuries, Villa Iole passed through the hands of several noble families from Pisa and Florence before being acquired by the Orazzini wine producers. Completely renovated while preserving its historic character, the villa features original terracotta floors and traditional architectural details alongside contemporary, designer furnishings in a harmonious blend of neutral and vibrant tones.
