Traditionally Tuscan from head to toe, this villa is a fantastic option for an authentic stay. It's a fifteen-minute drive from Volterra, so you'll be well-placed to explore. Some little surprises await you here – a dining table that converts into a pool table, a small kitchenette in the main suite, and an outdoor gym, just to name a few. But the real highlight is the garden. Venture outside to the private pool and hot tub overlooking vineyards. The terrace provides an idyllic setting for meals, too – your host can even arrange private chefs or cooking lessons upon request.
