Full Description


Beautiful villa, fully renovated with quality materials, very elegant and maintaining all the original charm, just a few kilometers from the pretty village of Fauglia, only 20 kms from Pisa airport. The immediate garden is nicely landscaped and the land extends to one hectare (around 2.5 acres) and is mostly covered in olive trees. This charming house has four bedrooms and four bathrooms and ample living space.

The house is on two levels and measures 270 sqm (nearly 3,000 sq ft) in total, so the rooms, and the house, are very large. The house is entered into a spacious entrance hall and then to a large living room with fireplace. The kitchen is well-fitted in chestnut wood and this opens through a Tuscan brick archway onto a lovely dining room. There is also a bathroom on the ground floor and a large walk-in store room; on the first floor there is another large sitting room with three large double bedrooms each with ensuite bathroom which lead off it. Additionally there is a good study/ home office, which could also be used a fourth bedroom. The surrounding land of one hectare (2.5 acres) offers a spectacular view on the green hills and in front of the house there is an old restored 'forno', a pizza oven and store (50 sqm) and nice area for 'al fresco' dining in the warm and peaceful summer evenings. Beautiful olive groves. Easy car access and plenty of private parking.

The house is attached to the neighbouring property on one side, but it is still very private and faces away, in the opposite direction towards the wonderful garden.

Fauglia is a lively village and has all kinds of amenities, including a fantastic restaurant, ‘La Gattaiola’, on the main street. In the immediate vicinity in are many essential services: there are supermarkets, a pharmacy, a bank and a post office and just minutes away, in Pontedera, is a main train station, cinema, theatre and hospital.

Casciana Terme is rich in history as it hosts the the remains of fortresses, palaces from the eighteenth and nineteenth century, the Municipal Theatre and the Parish Church of St Nicholas. The town is set halfway between the medieval town of Volterra and Pisa. The coast is nearby, where the reefs of Castiglioncello and the golden sandy beaches of the Versilia coast can all be accessed within half an hour. The countryside around Casciana is dotted with beautiful stone farmhouses and rustic cottages overlooking golden meadows. Casciana hosts a festa in May with the wonderful slow cooked wild boar with polenta, a regional specialty.

The cultural centres of Tuscany are all close by. In Lajatico is the famous Teatro di Silenzio, a natural open air theatre where Andrea Bocelli, the famous tenor, and world famous opera stars gather for a special performance in July each year.
