This majestic fully restructured 18th century home is now a deluxe vacation villa rental only a few km from the sandy beaches of the Tuscan coast and from one to two hours drive to some of the more exciting historic sites in Tuscany, such as Lucca, Pisa, Siena and Volterra.

The villa is surrounded by an opened "terracotta" terrace overlooking the hilly 500 hectares property. The villa is immersed in a private and partially fenced garden with a large swimming pool area where seclusion and privacy are guaranteed. Only stunning views of the green lush landscape surrounds this place. The pool area is fully furnished with sun lounges and a covered terrace with table and chairs.

There is a large covered terrace where the entire group can enjoy meals together, a lunch picnic with some of the local wines from Ornellaia or Sassicaia or a candle light dinner under the stars.  This wines are produced in the area of Bolgheri, a town that you can easily visit during your stay. This rental villa has been created to bring out the romantic in all of us!

The fully equipped eat in kitchen is perfect for group who like to have fun doing everything together.  You will find lots of space to cook together, putting together the fresh ingredients you found at the local veggie and fruit market or the at the fish stall along the coast.  This area abounds in cheeses, local wines, olive oil and lots of fresh greens.  You will be making your own fresh tomato bruschettas in no time.  You will find all table ware and cookware necessary for a large group as well as a dishwasher, large refrigerator, stove and oven, microwave, American coffee maker and toaster.

A villa of this size in Italy would have to have its own private Chapel (deconsecrated), and the owners have lovingly restored this little masterpiece.  This would make a beautiful setting for renewed vows or even a couple making that first romantic commitment.  There is also the old stalls, with their incredibly beautiful brick vaulted ceilings - this is the perfect setting for celebrating birthdays, anniversaries or just the fact that the whole group is together again.

The ground floor is comprised of the eat - in kitchen, laundry room, living room, dining room and chapel.  There are 2 bedrooms on the ground floor, one with twin beds and the other with a double bed.  There are also two bathrooms on the ground floor.
