Property Summary
Nestled along a quiet residential avenue just 800 m from the lively village of Castiglion Fibocchi, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Ca Maggiore is an exceptional vacation rental born from the careful renovation and enhancement of an authentic 17th-century Leopoldina villa. The property has preserved its original architectural character, including the distinctive squared dovecote tower and the portico surmounted by a traditional loggia on the first floor.

Property Summary
Nestled just 3 kilometers from the historic center of Siena, in the heart of Italy's most celebrated landscape, this extraordinary vacation rental offers an unparalleled experience of Tuscan luxury and tranquility. Set on a panoramic hill and surrounded by rolling terrain dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and cultivated fields, the property commands breathtaking views stretching as far as Monte Amiata and the iconic Torre del Mangia. At the heart of the estate stands a farmhouse of ancient origins, masterfully transformed into a refined luxury residence where exposed stone, natural wood, and contemporary materials create an elegant dialogue between historic tradition and minimalist design. Large, light-filled interior spaces, rooms with private bathrooms, and carefully curated furnishings ensure the highest level of comfort throughout. The property is equipped with fast Wi-Fi connectivity, making it as functional as it is beautiful, while a generous private parking area located at the end of the internal avenue ensures effortless arrivals and departures. The estate is enclosed within a beautifully maintained park of approximately 1,500 square meters, complete with manicured lawns, aromatic hedgerows, and scenic walkways, offering guests an immersive natural retreat with every modern convenience at hand. An automatic access gate provides security and privacy, completing the sense of an exclusive and self-contained sanctuary just moments from one of Italy's most celebrated cities.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of this remarkable estate are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty, thoughtful design, and recreational abundance. The park surrounding the farmhouse has been crafted by expert hands, featuring sinuous pathways lined with aromatic bushes of lavender, rosemary, myrtle, and sage, interspersed with young olive and cypress trees and broad expanses of manicured lawn. Two panoramic gazebos, positioned on either side of the house, provide shaded retreats with sweeping views, while a charming seating area at the entrance to the solarium invites quiet relaxation. Families with children will appreciate the dedicated play area, and a ping pong table adds a playful touch to the outdoor experience. A wood-burning oven and a fully equipped barbecue area complete the alfresco entertaining options, making outdoor dining a true pleasure. The pool area represents the crown jewel of the outdoor spaces: a spectacular natural terrace embraced by olive trees and the estate's own vineyards, extending across horizons crowned by the silhouettes of Monte Amiata and the Torre del Mangia. At its center lies a stunning infinity pool, oriented to face south and perfectly positioned for enjoying sunsets and evening swims, when a sophisticated lighting system inside and outside the pool creates a truly magical atmosphere.

Its border of travertine slabs and innovative PVC lining, inspired by the natural element of marble, give it a unique and iridescent character that shifts beautifully with the natural light. A cold and hot water shower is available on-site, and the pool is maintained with a chlorine purification system. Comfortable sun loungers and seating areas shaded by large umbrellas surround the solarium, which is further enhanced by a dining area with a large table, a sink, and a barbecue. The pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April through the first Saturday in October. The entire estate spans thirty hectares of land, where olive groves, a vineyard, and woodland alternate across the landscape, with approximately 12 hectares fenced with electrowelded mesh reaching 1.80 meters in height, largely accessible on foot and well suited for outdoor sports and walks.

Both residential units are equipped with a dedicated laundry room. The annex offers a different dimension of the property, centered around a large, versatile room accessed through 2 wide portals, designed to host events, conferences, and business meetings, and served by a service bathroom.

Guests will share only the driveway and parking area with the owners, while the park and pool remain for the exclusive use of guests at all times.

Villa Carlotta enjoys a privileged position on the hills near Pescia, a charming town in the Valdinievole area of Tuscany, Italy, known for its rich horticultural tradition and historic center. The villa's elevated setting offers sweeping views over the Valdinievole countryside and the picturesque medieval villages of Svizzera Pesciatina, a cluster of small hilltop hamlets that are well worth exploring during your stay. The surrounding area provides easy access to some of Tuscany's most celebrated destinations, with the thermal spa town of Montecatini Terme, the artistic city of Lucca, and the vibrant city of Florence all within comfortable driving distance. The region offers a wealth of cultural, gastronomic, and outdoor experiences, from wine and olive oil tastings to cycling through the Tuscan hills and visiting local markets and historic churches.
