This stone villa is one in a million - situated at the foothills of Monte Pisano, this 13th-century estate sits amongst a private green landscape of lemon trees. You’ll experience unrivalled privacy in this impressive home with as many awe-provoking views inside as out. It’s hard to select which feature takes centre stage in this house - an ornately framed pool, a cascading waterfall and a tea area set inside a topiary pergola, or the beautiful outdoor dining room perfect for spending balmy evenings with a private chef-cooked dinner with your loved ones - whichever space you choose, the scent of jasmine will accompany you. What this house does so well, is elegantly and thoughtfully design each space so that you can enjoy every moment. From the moment you step inside, this home will wow you - with its state-of-the-art, professional kitchen, high-beamed ceilings, an array of chandeliers, as well as large windows for maximised garden viewing. There’s plenty of space for you and your guests with spacious, stone-arched ceilings and a flowing open-plan layout. The flexibility of the space lets you take charge - whether you’re seeking a tranquil afternoon with lots of privacy and wellness features, or a session... of entertainment. Take your pick of lounging - inside or outside - and select a book from the library for some indulgent personal time. Or, if you’re seeking socialisation, embark on a tournament in the billiards room. It might be difficult to leave your luxurious compound, however, a wine tour discovering local Tuscan grapes can be arranged by your host and might just be the perfect way to spend a day in the rolling hills.
