Villanovia is a conservative restoration example of a historic Tuscan farmhouse: it is preserved rustic and original but modernly equipped.
You can enjoy the swimming pool as well relax at hot tub/Jacuzzi; you have the comfort of the air condition and the Internet wifi connection.
Its distinctive special character provides a cozy and warm atmosphere.

The house provides 700sm of internal living accommodation (exclusive rental) and 37 acres of private land.
Uniquely located ona hilltop inside the natural park of Berignone, overlooking the Cecina valley, the cities of Volterra and Pomarance, the Metallic Hills and Larderello, with the visible geothermal vapors.
Villanovia is off the beaten tracks and worth the 4 Km gravel-road drive, that will take you to our relaxed and far-from-it-all country house (could be bumpy if you have a sportcar - as suggested by a recent guest).

Staying in our property will offer you a 360° view over unspoiled Tuscany, its history and hills. And you and your family will feel at home !

The house sleeps 20+ (extra beds/futon and + 3 cots are available) in large and comfortable rooms or cosy apartments equipped with a private kitchen corner.

The 16th century groundfloor entrance (all in stone) is the most ancient part of the house. Here you have a sofa area with satellite TV and indoor stairs to the upper floor where 6 accommodations are located, as well as a terrace overlooking Volterra.

Perfectly located for total relax vacation, at the same time offers short rides to the cities of Volterra (9Km), Pisa, Siena (about 60Km each), San Gimignano and Florence, as well as the Etruscan Coast beaches (45Km). A large kitchen and an impressive 170sm stone-walls living room with original brick arches complete the property.
Panoramic swimming pool is 5x12, fenced for children' safety.
Our premium service is the interior stylish room with bubble pool, refreshing and relaxing. It is inspired to the Etruscan thermal springs environment, in rustic murble and stone. EV charge is also available.

    The property and the owners exceeded all expectations. We hosted our wedding at the venue and housed all 16 guests. The house comfortably accomodated everyone with enough indoor and outdoor space to be comfortably spread out.The views are breathtaking and we spent multiple evening sitting under the pergola or in the hot tub watching the lightning storms roll theough the mountains. The hosts did a great job arranging the outdoor areas to take advantage of all of the natural beauty of the property.Marco and his family were unbelieveably accomodating hosts, going far above and beyond what we expected. We also booked the hosts catering partner for our wedding dinner, a pasta class, and a pizza night; Consuelo and her family were absolutely amazing and their cooking is lights-out. Beware though, like all italian chefs, they will make sure you have enough leftovers to feed a small army.To sum up our experience, this property including the hosts and the catering vedors were great! I woukd reccomend this to anyone and look forward to returning in the future!

    11/10 recommend! We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at this beautiful private villa with amazing views. Words can not even describe the perfection about our stay with all our friends and family. Communication with Laura to organize everything at a distance was great, and Marco was lovely and so kind to answer all our requests during the week! They recommended vendors for our wedding and it was wonderful. The food and service was great. There was so many places to enjoy the beauty of Tuscany. Everyone had a private bathroom and air conditionning. The rooms are comfortable. The kitchen is bigger than we thought and worked perfectly for our big group (however we did not really cook haha). Thank you for everything!!!

    We stayed in this beautiful villa with a big group of over 20 adults and kids, and it was perfect. The house is spacious, maintained well, with beautiful views of the hills and vineyards all around. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, both indoors and out.The pool was a major highlight. The outdoor dining area was ideal for long group meals, and the kids enjoyed exploring the grounds while the adults relaxed and enjoyed the peaceful surroundings.Our host, Marco, was very thoughtful and quick to respond to anything we needed. We’ll have a lot of special memories from our week at this villa. Highly recommend for large groups looking to enjoy the best of Tuscany together.

    My wife and I found and booked this house for our family and friends to join us for a celebration, and not one part of our experience was disappointing. We showed up late Friday night after a longer day of travel than expected, and we had people at the house waiting for us. They were very gracious and kind and I was communicated with the entire way. I was given a tour of the house and grounds and then we settled in. The house itself is huge and absolutely gorgeous. It’s a picturesque home with plenty of room and amenities. The following morning we got to see the unbelievable views surrounding the house and were shocked with the beauty. We had booked a dinner in house with the owners (which was an added cost) and it was such a great experience. The team that cooked was perfect and made us an amazing meal for our celebration. As for location we had a lot of options. There was a full grocery store about 25 minutes away in Volterra. Volterra also has a lot of shopping restaurants, and options. We drove to Cecina to the beach in about an hour, and up to Pisa in about 100 minutes. Florence is also only 90 minutes away. Overall, our entire experience was amazing. The owners communicated and answered all questions and gave us everything we needed to enjoy our trip. We were so happy with the entire experience and would definitely come back here. Grazie mille!!

    We (12 adults and 1 child) had perfect holidays in this spacious house. We enjoyed the roomy and well equipped kitchen, the pool and the hot tub as well as the ample possibilities to eat inside or outside of the house. The owners gave us nice tips for restaurants around the location. A highlight was the vegetarian buffet we ordered for the last evening - we all could barely walk so much did we eat. We highly recommend this location, it is quiet, well maintained and staff and owner are very friendly. K

    While the house is located far out in the Tuscan country side down a gravel road (closest small town is 15 away), it's location within Tuscany is unbeatable - 90 min from Florence, 25 min from Volterra - and Siena, San Gimingnano, Pisa/Lucca, wineries, beaches in between. The location is so peaceful and beautiful - bring bug spray for the mosquitos! A small price to pay for the views. Laura and Marco were very responsive and helpful. The place was spotless. Consuela and her family (Dominque is so sweet!) were AMAZING cooks - I would recommend doing the chef meals. One item of note - the 3 downstairs suites (Carraia, Mugnaia, and Volterrana) are only accessible from outside the villa - which is fine, we just didn't expect that. And Carraia does not have it's own kitchen, but it right next to a door to the house. Each room having it's own bathroom was a huge plus for our large group. I would recommend anyone to stay here!

The house was just a blessing to all of us. Quite ( except for us) beautiful views, lovely pool and hot tub. We will remember this vacation forever. Thank you Marco and Laura.

    We were a group of 12 women and found Villanovia to be the perfect place. Some of our favorite things about Villanovia *panoramic views from all sides of the property *multple ourdoor seating areas, both for relaxing & dining/games *each bedroom/apartment has its own bathroom We had the villa chef, Mama Toscano, prepare 2 meals (pizza & Lasagna) and did a ravioli pasta making class. We loved the food and the cooking experience. We do not speak Italian so had a use google translate when needed, but it all went very smoothly. Before i booked the villa i had read other reviews about the road getting to the villa. It is a gravel road that is pretty rough/bumpy in places but we had no issues driving our cars on these roads. Just slow down, take your time and enjoy the amazing views. I would definitely return to Villanovia!
