CASOLARE SAN MARTINO 12

Toscana - Pisa - Pomarance

Description:

PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Casolare San Martino is located in the Val di Cecina, a very short distance from the town of Pomarance, whose origins date to before the year 1000 and of which it still retains the structure of a medieval castle with walls and access gates. The property enjoys a panoramic position over the nearby hills, surrounded by the unmistakable Tuscan landscape and green areas where guests can stroll and enjoy nature. The house, partly in stone and partly plastered, has been recently renovated, maintaining the aspect of a typical Tuscan farmhouse but with a more elegant and refined style. It offers four, non-communicating, residential units, while the exterior is a space to be enjoyed in complete conviviality, the garden with well-kept lawn, the outdoor dining area paved in terracotta and covered by a gazebo, and the swimming pool just a few steps away, immersed in greenery. Indoors, the light colours of the wood and floors create an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, harmonising well with the refined linear furnishings and modern kitchens. Thanks to these characteristics, Casolare San Martino is a suitable residence for large groups or families who wish to maintain a certain independence yet also have convivial spaces to enjoy together. Please note: within the park, adjacent to the house but separated by a hedge, is the residence inhabited by the owners who, while not living there every day, guarantee maximum privacy and non-intrusiveness to the guests. Please Note: when the property is rented in this solution no other guests will be present on site.

CASOLARE SAN MARTINO HAS BEEN SUBJECTED TO A CHECK-UP BY A TECHNICAL RESPONSIBLE BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF THE SEASON, TO ENSURE CONSISTENCY OF THE DESCRIPTION, ACCESSORIES LISTED ON THIS PAGE AND THEIR PRESENT STATE OF OPERATION/MAINTENANCE, TO GUARANTEE QUALITY, CLEANLINESS AND COMFORTS TO ALL CLIENTS WHO WILL STAY HERE.

Interior:

Casolare San Martino consists of three independent and non-communicating units, spread over two floors. UNIT 1: Located on the ground floor in the central part of the house, it consists of one of the two fully-equipped kitchens, the dining room, the living room with TV and, down a few steps, a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and another double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower. UNIT 2: Located on the ground floor on the right side of the house, it consists of the common open-plan dining room and living room with TV, the other fully-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms with shower and two double bedrooms with direct access, via French windows, out to the terrace set up with tables and chairs. UNIT 3: Located on the first floor on the right side of the house and reached up the external terracotta stairs, it consists of a living room-kitchen with TV, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower.

Park:

The garden around the villa covers an area of 1000 sq m and is well cared for and full of vegetation. From the access gate, a gravel drive leads to the uncovered parking area, located in front of the property. The garden is covered in lawn and enriched by varied vegetation such as holm oaks, olive trees, plumbago and jasmine, as well as tall trees like cypresses and maples, and hedges of laurel and rowan that delimit the perimeter at the entrance to the property . Distributed throughout the garden are terracotta vases with colourful flowers and flower beds with roses, verbenas and lilies whose scent mixes with that of herbs, among which rosemary stands out. The lawn is crossed by a handy stone path which leads to the entrances of the various residential units that make up the house and also to the steps which lead to the swimming pool. At the rear of the house is a gravel path that leads to the lower level of the garden, where the laundry room is located, and to another gate accessing the pool area. The outdoor dining area is set up on terracotta paving, covered by an iron gazebo and next to the built-in barbecue. 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:

The infinity pool with a panoramic view of the hills is located in an area of the garden at the side of the property, at a lower level than the house and reached along a convenient path in the lawn that leads to the entrance gate and then descends the stone steps. The pool, rectangular and with Roman steps for access to the water, measures 15 x 6 m with the depth varying from 1.25 to 1.80 m and has chlorine purification and internal and external lighting. All around is the 60 sq m solarium area, covered partly in stone and partly in lawn, equipped with umbrellas, sunbeds, tables and armchairs, offering maximum comfort to guests. The pool area, equipped with a cold-water shower, can also be reached along the gravel path behind the villa and is enclosed by a wooden fence, open only on the infinity side. The swimming pool will remain open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

TO DO

Location and distances


Casolare San Martino is located a short distance from the town of Pomarance, where you can find all kinds of services and shops, bars and restaurants. Pomarance is also a place rich in history, thanks to its ancient origins, dating back to before the year 1000, of which it still retains the structure of a medieval castle with walls and access gates. Particularly suggestive is the view of the "caves", a landslide phenomenon similar to the Balze di Volterra which, over the centuries, has engulfed the oldest buildings. The house is also located just half an hour from the renowned town of Volterra, the heart of the Val di Cecina and dominating it from the top of its balze, a phenomenon of soil erosion. Volterra has ancient origins and maintains, unaltered, its three historical faces: the Etruscan one, with Porta dell'Arco and Porta Diana, the Roman one as clearly evidenced by the theatre, and the medieval one that can be seen in Piazza dei Priori and the palazzo of the same name, in the numerous tower houses and the Duomo. Very interesting is the so-called Valle del Diavolo (Devil's Valley), in Larderello, so called due to the boraciferous geysers and the natural geothermal manifestations from which geothermal energy is extracted. The puffs, whose emissions can reach a temperature of 130-160°C, may seem threatening but in reality they represent a geothermal activity that has been going on for millions of years and will continue for a very long time to come. It seems that Dante was aware of the geothermal phenomena of this area which inspired the landscapes he described in Hell. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Berignone nature reserve, immersing themselves in the hills and woods. The forest is a sort of large wooded island, immersed in a sea of fields. Intact, it contains rich flora and varied fauna of wild animals such as wolves, fallow deer, roe deer, wild boars and birds of prey.
