10 bedrooms villa, 800 m²

Palaia, Pisa (province)

Easily reachable from both Pisa and Florence, this ancient farmhouse from the 1700s stands on a hill in the heart of the Valdera in Tuscany and has been completely and finely restored.
This refined farmhouse, the result of a careful recovery intervention, is surrounded by a well-kept Mediterranean garden, with approximately eight hundred square meters of parkland that frame the farmhouse, protected by the extensive olive grove of the property (fenced for about 2 hectares) completely cultivated as a lawn and perfectly walkable.
The property consists of a main building, the villa on two floors offering 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, a large dining room, a billiard room, a study, a living room, a guest suite, and a double kitchen.
There is also a two-story outbuilding composed of 3 bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a guest bathroom, and two kitchens, a separate apartment for staff, and a covered veranda of about 234 square meters.
The spaces offer the typical atmosphere of Tuscan farmhouses, with terracotta floors, exposed ceiling beams, hand-painted walls creating an atmosphere of serene refinement, while large French doors flood the interiors with natural light.
However, the true soul of the estate extends beyond its walls. Approximately eight hundred square meters of parkland frame the farmhouse, protected by the extensive olive grove of the property (fenced for about 2 hectares) completely cultivated as a lawn and perfectly walkable. The garden is enriched with many Mediterranean essences, laurel, arbutus, lavender bushes, rosemary, and roses that line the internal paths alternating with a young collection of cypress trees and many trees such as oaks, chestnuts, and magnolias that dot the entrance avenue and frame the pool area where comfortable outdoor areas are set up for relaxing outside: a pergola with sofas and two dining areas located near the French doors of the farmhouse. The property is equipped with a large covered parking area, located just after the entrance gate. In an area of the garden overlooking an open and panoramic landscape, the beautiful new infinity pool is nestled, about 20 m from the farmhouse and reachable by walking down a slightly sloping paved path. The pool is accompanied by a scenic Roman staircase with 5 steps, the edge is in terracotta and is covered with sand-colored tiles. All around is the sunbathing area, a large terracotta surface with comfortable sun loungers for relaxing in the sun. In the area, there is a shower with hot and cold water and a wooden gazebo with a table and chairs. The pool is sanitized with salt and can be used at night thanks to the internal and external lighting of the pool. The property is located in the area of the Pisane Hills, a hilly region rich in oak forests and vineyards and olive groves that develops in the center of Tuscany, in the southeastern area of Pontedera and bordering Volterra and the Alta Valdera Park. The area, of great naturalistic importance, is dotted with numerous villages rich in significant historical and architectural evidence. The village of Palaia, of ancient Etruscan origins, about 7 km from the farmhouse, preserves buildings and churches of significant artistic interest.
