Description
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). At villa, suspended in the authentic heart of the Val di Cecina and set on a hill 374 m above sea level, absolute protagonist is the natural scenery that surrounds it, a landscape interwoven with sinuous waves that chase each other up to the edge of the Apuan Alps: declined in the thousand shades of its unmistakable colours, they paint an enchanted background for the wonderful historic borghi located there and which, at dusk, illuminate the horizon. The excellent restoration of this farmhouse has not altered its typicality but has artfully enriched and accessorised it to guarantee guests the best of hospitality in an exquisitely Tuscan style. The exposed stone, the ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, the panoramic air-conditioned bedrooms, each with private bathroom, the welcoming veranda: these are the key elements that characterise this imposing structure in which the large common area on the ground floor, with professional kitchen and vast living room with large windows, opens directly to the outdoor living areas. The house is surrounded by a luxuriant garden, a natural terrace cloaked in the silver of a grove of olive trees and embellished by both the panoramic pool area, that will captivate guests with its magical sunsets, and the charming gazebo, set up with an elegant dining area and sofas. villa represents the ideal location to appreciate privacy and tranquillity without having to renounce the amenities located in the immediate vicinity; it is in fact located on the edge of the borgo of Pomarance, about 700 m from shops, restaurants and cafés and within walking distance. We are surrounded by the unmistakable scenery of the Val di Cecina, land of ancient borghi (Pomarance, Volterra, Montecatini Val di Cecina) and of numerous oases and nature reserves, such as those of Berignone and Monterufoli that brush against the immediate surroundings. The property is part of an organic farm estate that produces extra virgin olive oil and quality wine that can be tasted directly in the villa upon request.

Amenities and feature
Location and distances
South of the province of Pisa, and along the river Cecina, extends the Val di Cecina, a vast hilly land that touches the metalliferous hills on the border with Siena and crosses the Grosseto and Livorno Maremma, sloping down towards the sea. The area is rich in both geothermal sources, which manifest themselves in the form of boraciferous fumaroles in the area around Larderello (the suggestive Valley of the Devil), and wind farms for the production of energy. The heritage of the semi-wild nature parks and the countless perfectly preserved medieval borghi, of great historical and artistic importance, make it the ideal destination for a complete holiday in all respects. Of great fascination is the unmistakable landscape of the Balze di Volterra which extend over a large area and are characterised by the typical calanchi (rock formations). villa can be reached along a simple country road that passes through Pomarance, a borgo of medieval origins at 370 m above sea level. The castle structure and the ancient walls that surround the historic center testify to its warlike past. The 12th century Romanesque church, the elegant 19th century buildings and the refined theatres, the narrow little streets and the well-maintained piazzas, together with shops and restaurants, enliven the historic town centre. In the neighbourhood you will find the remains of fortresses, such as the Rocca Silliana (among the most significant examples of military architecture), with its unique viewpoint, and many small villages perched on hills (Libbiano, San Dalmazio, Serrazzano).
