The villa was a farmhouse dating back to the mid 19th century and 4 generations have followed one another in the property, before renovating it in the '90s and transforming it into a summer residence while maintaining, unaltered, its appearance as a typical Tuscan stone farmhouse. Inside as well, it maintains the flavour of the Tuscan farmhouse with its most characteristic elements such as terracotta floors, exposed wooden-beamed ceilings, a large living room with arches and stone fireplace (ornamental), wooden furniture and accessories in warm welcoming colours. The outdoor areas, in the luxuriant well-kept garden covered in natural grass, include a cosy dining area on the terracotta-paved patio and a swimming pool a few steps from the villa and surrounded by greenery. Thanks to its characteristics and its position, villa is the ideal place for those in search of privacy, relaxation and absolute tranquillity.

The Val di Cecina is located in the extreme south of the province of Pisa and takes its name from the river of the same name that crosses this hilly area between the province of Siena and the Livorno coast. A short distance from the villa is Montegemoli, a small oval-shaped borgo which still retains the old defensive structure of the original medieval castle, of which, however, very few traces remain, with the exception of the fortress. The castle was built in the 14th century to defend the moie, the underground veins of salt water from which salt was extracted by means of evaporation. The moie represented the wealth of these territories, already known by the Etruscans and Romans. The castle, therefore, was built to defend this rich "treasure". The borgo is also renowned for the bread of Montegemoli, a traditional Tuscan food. It is also said that Montegemoli was the birthplace of Bella degli Abati, mother of the renowned poet Dante Alighieri. In the borgo of Montegemoli you will find the restaurant, Osteria dell'Ultimo Carbonaio, where you can sample traditional Tuscan dishes. The main places where you can find all services are Pomarance and Saline di Volterra, ten minutes from the villa. Pomarance has ancient origins, prior to the year 1000, and still conserves the structure of a medieval castle with walls and access gates. Particularly evocative is the view over the caves, a landslide phenomenon similar to the Balze Volterra which, over the centuries, has engulfed the oldest buildings. At Saline di Volterra it is possible to visit the salt extraction plant. The Volterra salt extracted here is considered the purest in Italy. 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.
