  • 24 guests

  • 12 bedrooms

  • 12 bathrooms

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.
