Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only - CIR CODE: 050024LTI0004; 050024LTI0005; 050024LTI0006; 050024LTI0007; 050024LTI0008; CIN CODE: IT050024B4Q9TMPOZT; IT050024B4N4QOKUON; IT050024B4RES7MK7V; IT050024B4IRT3688A; IT050024B4UB7KJSS9). Standing on the ruins of an old 18th century farmhouse on the hill of San Jacopo, in the heart of the Valdera, this charming house is the result of careful restoration work, nestling in the well-tended green of a wonderful garden, protected by a garrison of olive trees and with a spectacular view over the surrounding hills. The original terracotta and the exposed chestnut wood beams contrasting with the pastel tints of the rooms and the light-coloured wood of the numerous doors and windows that open out onto the park, the beautiful hand-painted floral decorations and the sober and refined furnishings define the aesthetic style of Dimora San Jacopo which has no lack of modern amenities for your stay in top comfort. All the rooms have air-conditioning and wifi connection which extends out to the garden and to the beautiful infinity pool set in a splendid secluded and panoramic location. Thanks to the set-up, a central body with the common areas and two further apartments (with separate living room/kitchen), the house is perfectly able to accommodate up to 21 guests who wish to spend their holiday together but, at the same time, have their own private space, both inside and outside thanks to the extension of the garden and the variety of set-up living areas. The geographical location of the house, too, will prove invaluable for undertaking numerous cultural itineraries of the highest level: the main towns of Tuscany, like Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Florence, Lucca and Siena, the Etruscan Coast, the Livorno coastline with its beautiful beaches and clear sea and the famous seaside resorts of Versilia. Just a few kilometres away is the TEATRO DEL SILENZIO, a natural amphitheatre nestling in the beautiful setting of the hills of Lajatico where every year, under the guidance of the tenor Andrea Bocelli, the famous musical event takes place. Just minutes away are the prestigious spa resorts of Casciana Terme and Uliveto where you can experience a unique and rejuvenating programme of wellness and beauty. Other strong points of the property are its proximity to the major airports of the region (Pisa and Florence), to towns like Forcoli (1.5 km away) and Palaia for daily shopping and to a great pizza restaurant just 400 m away. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

Interior:

Dimora San Jacopo is on two floors and includes the central body plus an adjacent unit not connected internally but with independent entrance. The main entrance of the central body leads into the spacious common area with a large open-plan area consisting of a sitting room divided into two areas, one with a fireplace and TV, a dining room with French window giving access to the outside, a wine cellar and the main kitchen, also divided into two areas, one internal and the other in a glass veranda with access to the outside, where one of the two barbecue areas is located. The dining room leads to a hallway with a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower and outside access, a twin bedroom and a further bathroom with shower. The sitting room leads to a hallway with a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom with double walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with shower. Both bedrooms have outside access via French windows. The floor is completed by a Jacuzzi room, a guest bathroom, a laundry room with washing machine, and an additional kitchen. A staircase next to the guest bathroom leads to the upper floor consisting of a twin bedroom and a bathroom with shower. UNIT 1: The external stairs lead up to the unit consisting of a living room with kitchenette, a double bedroom, a second double bedroom with divisible beds and a bathroom with shower.

Park:

About 800 sq m of parkland frame the house, protected by the extensive olive grove of the property (fenced for about 2 hectares), completely cultivated with lawn and perfectly accessible. In the beautiful well-tended garden, enriched with Mediterranean essences, laurel, strawberry trees, lavender bushes, rosemary and roses that border the internal paths, alternating with a young collection of cypresses and many trees such as oaks, turkey oaks and magnolias that dot the entrance driveway and frame the pool area, are various cosy outdoor living areas: a pergola with sofas and a dining area adjacent to the French windows of the house. The other covered dining area, equipped with tables and benches and a barbecue area, is located on a lower level of the garden, reached down a few stone steps. Located immediately after the entrance gate is a large covered parking area. Also in the garden is a covered gym and table football. In the olive grove, accessible from a flight of steps located near the parking area, is an archery range and a gazebo with a ping pong table, and a swing and slide for children. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

In an area of the garden overlooking the open scenic landscape, lies the beautiful, newly-built infinity pool, about 20 m from the house and accessible down a slightly sloping paved path. With 5 spectacular Roman steps, the pool measures 6 x 14 m with the depth varying from 1.30 to 2.70 m. The border is in terracotta and the interior is lined with beige tiles. It is surrounded by a large terracotta-tiled sunbathing area provided with comfortable sunbeds. There is a cold/hot-water shower and a wooden gazebo with table and chairs. The pool has salt purification and can also be used at night thanks to both internal and external lighting. It is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

Location and distances


The property is situated in the area of the Pisan Hills, a hilly region rich in chestnut woods and land cultivated with vines and olive trees in the centre of Tuscany, in the southeast area of Pontedera and bordering with Volterra and the park of the Upper Valdera. This area, of great natural importance, is dotted with numerous borghi rich in significant historical and architectural relics. The borgo of Palaia itself, of ancient Etruscan origin, is about 7 km from the house and contains buildings and churches of great artistic interest and an important 13th century church on a promontory with a beautiful panorama ranging from the area around Florence to Volterra, continuing across the upper Valdera to Pisa and the coastal area. The area offers plenty of opportunity for recreation: nature and sports lovers can take advantage of the long hiking and mountain biking trails, can go horseback riding along the country lanes (about 4 km away, in Treggiaia, is the riding club Lo Scoiattolo), or play golf at the 9-hole course of San Miniato, about 26 km away, or at the 18-hole course of Castelfalfi, about 20 km away, which also has a green and a practice bunker. Health conscious guests can take advantage of the prestigious spa facilities in the area, those of Casciana and Uliveto are just a few kilometres from the property. About 10 km away in Pontedera you can find all necessary services and shops (while just 1½ kilometres away is the little town of Forcoli where you can also do your shopping) as well as the Piaggio Museum, famous throughout the world, with the entire series of historic Vespas. The villa is easily reached from both north and south thanks to the A1 motorway (Autostrada del Sole) and the highway between Florence and Pisa and Livorno (S.G.C. FI-PI-LI), with exit at Pontedera, about 10 km from the property.

Not really, but very small points: some of the villas we have rented in the past have more produce/products grown on the property that are for sale to renters. This property had wine and olive oil which was fabulous. It's a nice treat to be able to buy from the property. The owners might also want to consider trimming the hedges over-looking the incredible view of the valley and sun flower fields. You could see the view as you walked down to the pool, but not sitting at the pool (these are ver

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (Lease only - CIR CODE: 050024LTI0004; 050024LTI0005; 050024LTI0006; 050024LTI0007; 050024LTI0008; CIN CODE: IT050024B4Q9TMPOZT; IT050024B4N4QOKUON; IT050024B4RES7MK7V; IT050024B4IRT3688A; IT050024B4UB7KJSS9). Standing on the ruins of an old 18th century farmhouse on the hill of San Jacopo, in the heart of the Valdera, this charming house is the result of careful restoration work, nestling in the well-tended green of a wonderful garden, protected by a garrison of olive trees and with a spectacular view over the surrounding hills. The original terracotta and the exposed chestnut wood beams contrasting with the pastel tints of the rooms and the light-coloured wood of the numerous doors and windows that open out onto the park, the beautiful hand-painted floral decorations and the sober and refined furnishings define the aesthetic style of Dimora San Jacopo which has no lack of modern amenities for your stay in top comfort. All the rooms have air-conditioning and wifi connection which extends out to the garden and to the beautiful infinity pool set in a splendid secluded and panoramic location. Thanks to the set-up, a central body with the common areas and two further apartments (with separate living room/kitchen), the house is perfectly able to accommodate up to 21 guests who wish to spend their holiday together but, at the same time, have their own private space, both inside and outside thanks to the extension of the garden and the variety of set-up living areas. The geographical location of the house, too, will prove invaluable for undertaking numerous cultural itineraries of the highest level: the main towns of Tuscany, like Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Florence, Lucca and Siena, the Etruscan Coast, the Livorno coastline with its beautiful beaches and clear sea and the famous seaside resorts of Versilia. Just a few kilometres away is the TEATRO DEL SILENZIO, a natural amphitheatre nestling in the beautiful setting of the hills of Lajatico where every year, under the guidance of the tenor Andrea Bocelli, the famous musical event takes place. Just minutes away are the prestigious spa resorts of Casciana Terme and Uliveto where you can experience a unique and rejuvenating programme of wellness and beauty. Other strong points of the property are its proximity to the major airports of the region (Pisa and Florence), to towns like Forcoli (1.5 km away) and Palaia for daily shopping and to a great pizza restaurant just 400 m away. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

Interior:

Dimora San Jacopo is on two floors and includes the central body plus an adjacent unit not connected internally but with independent entrance. The main entrance of the central body leads into the spacious common area with a large open-plan area consisting of a sitting room divided into two areas, one with a fireplace and TV, a dining room with French window giving access to the outside, a wine cellar and the main kitchen, also divided into two areas, one internal and the other in a glass veranda with access to the outside, where one of the two barbecue areas is located. The dining room leads to a hallway with a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower and outside access, a twin bedroom and a further bathroom with shower. The sitting room leads to a hallway with a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom with double walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom with shower. Both bedrooms have outside access via French windows. The floor is completed by a Jacuzzi room, a guest bathroom, a laundry room with washing machine, and an additional kitchen. A staircase next to the guest bathroom leads to the upper floor consisting of a twin bedroom and a bathroom with shower. UNIT 1: The external stairs lead up to the unit consisting of a living room with kitchenette, a double bedroom, a second double bedroom with divisible beds and a bathroom with shower.

Park:

About 800 sq m of parkland frame the house, protected by the extensive olive grove of the property (fenced for about 2 hectares), completely cultivated with lawn and perfectly accessible. In the beautiful well-tended garden, enriched with Mediterranean essences, laurel, strawberry trees, lavender bushes, rosemary and roses that border the internal paths, alternating with a young collection of cypresses and many trees such as oaks, turkey oaks and magnolias that dot the entrance driveway and frame the pool area, are various cosy outdoor living areas: a pergola with sofas and a dining area adjacent to the French windows of the house. The other covered dining area, equipped with tables and benches and a barbecue area, is located on a lower level of the garden, reached down a few stone steps. Located immediately after the entrance gate is a large covered parking area. Also in the garden is a covered gym and table football. In the olive grove, accessible from a flight of steps located near the parking area, is an archery range and a gazebo with a ping pong table, and a swing and slide for children. Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Swimming Pool:

In an area of the garden overlooking the open scenic landscape, lies the beautiful, newly-built infinity pool, about 20 m from the house and accessible down a slightly sloping paved path. With 5 spectacular Roman steps, the pool measures 6 x 14 m with the depth varying from 1.30 to 2.70 m. The border is in terracotta and the interior is lined with beige tiles. It is surrounded by a large terracotta-tiled sunbathing area provided with comfortable sunbeds. There is a cold/hot-water shower and a wooden gazebo with table and chairs. The pool has salt purification and can also be used at night thanks to both internal and external lighting. It is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

Location and distances


The property is situated in the area of the Pisan Hills, a hilly region rich in chestnut woods and land cultivated with vines and olive trees in the centre of Tuscany, in the southeast area of Pontedera and bordering with Volterra and the park of the Upper Valdera. This area, of great natural importance, is dotted with numerous borghi rich in significant historical and architectural relics. The borgo of Palaia itself, of ancient Etruscan origin, is about 7 km from the house and contains buildings and churches of great artistic interest and an important 13th century church on a promontory with a beautiful panorama ranging from the area around Florence to Volterra, continuing across the upper Valdera to Pisa and the coastal area. The area offers plenty of opportunity for recreation: nature and sports lovers can take advantage of the long hiking and mountain biking trails, can go horseback riding along the country lanes (about 4 km away, in Treggiaia, is the riding club Lo Scoiattolo), or play golf at the 9-hole course of San Miniato, about 26 km away, or at the 18-hole course of Castelfalfi, about 20 km away, which also has a green and a practice bunker. Health conscious guests can take advantage of the prestigious spa facilities in the area, those of Casciana and Uliveto are just a few kilometres from the property. About 10 km away in Pontedera you can find all necessary services and shops (while just 1½ kilometres away is the little town of Forcoli where you can also do your shopping) as well as the Piaggio Museum, famous throughout the world, with the entire series of historic Vespas. The villa is easily reached from both north and south thanks to the A1 motorway (Autostrada del Sole) and the highway between Florence and Pisa and Livorno (S.G.C. FI-PI-LI), with exit at Pontedera, about 10 km from the property.

Not really, but very small points: some of the villas we have rented in the past have more produce/products grown on the property that are for sale to renters. This property had wine and olive oil which was fabulous. It's a nice treat to be able to buy from the property. The owners might also want to consider trimming the hedges over-looking the incredible view of the valley and sun flower fields. You could see the view as you walked down to the pool, but not sitting at the pool (these are ver

And to protect you in the case of damage caused to the property?

ZER0DEP COVER - by EuropAssistance (Mandatory) 49€ each reservation The new "Zer0Dep" guarantee protects you and allows you to have a tranquil holiday. Zer0Dep stands for "Zero deposit"; it is an insurance coverage developed in partnership with EuropAssistance which replaces the security deposit and which is therefore mandatory. The benefits of this guarantee are: you do not pay the security deposit on arrival: neither in cash nor by immobilising a substantial amount on your credit card limit;
  • you are protected in the case of eventual damage to the property caused accidentally during your stay (up to the maximum limit of 1500 euro);
  • you avoid any dispute on the responsibility of the damage and its quantification during check-out;
  • you can enjoy your villa holiday in greater tranquillity.
