- About The Experience
-
If you’re looking for a large Italian villa with enough room to fit as many as ten couples, this surely is the place for you! Peacefulness, with gorgeous views of the surrounding olive groves and cypresses await your arrival, as does a charming garden with a private swimming pool. In addition to beauty, you’ll be a quick drive away from Volterra and San Gimignano, two Tuscan towns that are not to be missed!
- Location Description
-
The nearest town of Volterra is located six kilometers away from the property. Volterra is situated on a rocky hilltop 1770 feet above sea level and is filled with restaurants, shops, markets, and ancient castles. It is a great place to visit for anyone interested in the Etruscans. It is encircled by Etruscan walls and features the Guarnacci Museum, home to a large display of Etruscan antiques and artifacts. The rivaling town of San Gimignano is a short drive away where you will find more museums, shops, restaurants, and wine. San Gimignano is well known for its towers and rich history dating back to Etruscan times. It has seen many ups and downs throughout history, but San Gimignano has survived, and today it is very well preserved-- almost just as it was in its medieval prime! It is a wonderful place to wander and explore, and major sights include the 12th century Duomo, the People's Palace, and museums dedicated to artwork and archaeology. Other day trips might include spending time at the beaches of Cecina, or visiting Siena, Pisa, and Florence. Lajatico (Andrea Bocelli's birthplace) is within driving distance. The "Teatro del Silenzio" an open air theater located in Lajatico hosts his summer concerts.
