Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscan countryside between the Era valley and the rolling hills of Florentine Chianti, Villa Ginestraio stands as a truly exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined contemporary comfort. Located approximately 4 kilometres from the historic borgo of Castelfalfi, in the municipality of Peccioli, in the heart of Italy, this magnificent two-storey villa is the result of a meticulous renovation that has transformed an ancient 13th-century Pisan watchtower into an exclusive sanctuary of relaxation and well-being. Finely restructured using quality materials rooted in Tuscan tradition, the property rises proudly on a hilltop, commanding breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. The villa is set within an expansive yard of approximately 7,000 square metres, encompassing manicured lawns, ancient trees, and lush Mediterranean vegetation that create a serene and private natural retreat. Guests benefit from a dedicated parking area conveniently situated near the villa, reached via a charming cypress-lined driveway from the entrance gate. Wireless internet connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring that guests remain connected should they wish, while the surrounding natural environment invites complete disconnection and tranquillity.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ginestraio are nothing short of extraordinary, offering a rich variety of environments designed for leisure, dining, and contemplation. Approximately 2,000 square metres of immaculately maintained lawn surround the villa, framed by holm oaks, pines, and ancient larches that cast generous shade during the warm summer months. The grounds are further adorned with shrubs of medicinal plants, roses, and geraniums that lend vibrant colour to this peaceful green oasis. A beautiful portico, accessed directly from the kitchen through French windows, is furnished with a table and chairs and serves as an ideal setting for leisurely breakfasts, alfresco lunches, and candlelit dinners. A large stone barbecue is available for guests who wish to prepare grilled specialities accompanied by a fine glass of Tuscan red wine. Beyond the fenced lawn, the remaining 5,000 square metres of parkland adapt naturally to the hilly terrain, merging into a vast wooded estate where olive trees, fruit trees, pines, willows, and larches alternate in a verdant landscape occasionally visited by fallow deer, roe deer, wild boar, and squirrels. An external stone staircase leads up to the old watchtower, where a small porticoed terrace offers a charming and intimate spot to enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the views. Please note that the garden photographs were taken in spring, and the appearance of the flowers and lawn may vary depending on the season of your arrival. The non-heated swimming pool is situated in a dedicated area of the garden approximately 50 metres from the main house, reached along a tuff-paved path and overlooking an open, panoramic landscape. Measuring 9 by 17 metres with a varying depth of 1 to 3 metres, the pool is lined in sky-blue tiles with a terracotta border and features 5 Roman steps in terracotta as well as a ladder for water access. A circular hydromassage area with terracotta seating adds an element of indulgence to the pool experience. The surrounding sunbathing area is paved in tuff and equipped with comfortable sunbeds, while a cold and hot-water shower and a wooden gazebo furnished with a table and armchairs complete this luxurious outdoor retreat. The pool benefits from chlorine purification and both internal and external lighting, allowing it to be enjoyed after sunset. It is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.

Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills surrounding Volterra, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, the Poggiarellone is an extraordinary vacation rental that combines centuries of history with refined contemporary comfort. This ancient Pisan watchtower, set along the historic oil and wine road that winds toward San Gimignano, has been meticulously restored by its owners with a deep respect for the architectural heritage and the materials typical of the region. Chestnut wood floors, terracotta tiles, travertine surfaces, and half-vaulted terracotta ceilings in the living area speak to a careful preservation of the property's unique character, while spacious and elegantly appointed rooms with design elements ensure an exceptional level of comfort. The property enjoys a remarkable 360-degree panoramic view over the Tuscan landscape, making it an ideal destination for large groups or family gatherings seeking an unforgettable stay in one of Italy's most evocative settings.

Numerous shaded areas are scattered throughout the grounds, offering ideal spots for relaxation at any time of day. Beneath a covered porch and on the panoramic terrace, comfortable sofas and armchairs provide the perfect setting for unwinding while taking in the sweeping views. The panoramic terrace is also the ideal vantage point from which to admire the golden wheat fields dotted with red poppies in June, or to savor a glass of Tuscan red wine while watching the sun set over the hills.
