Palazzo di Valle

Palazzo di Valle was originally a traditional private Tuscan farmhouse which has been lovingly restored and furnished with the highest quality fixtures and fittings. Much care has been taken to recreate original features such as the typical wooden beamed ceilings and terracotta floors. It sleeps a maximum of 13 people. This Tuscan Villa’s ideal location is a real sun-trap with the surrounding trees giving a sense of seclusion and being close to nature. Immersed in the woods of a particularly beautiful Mediterranean maquis, half-way between Florence and Pisa, stands this stately white residence circled by a fragrant garden and flanked by the imposing figure of a centuries-old pine. Its envious location makes it particularly easy to visit such destinations as the towered town of San Gimignano, the panoramic city of Volterra, the fashionable Versilian coast and the Italian wine-country of the Chianti hills. A particularly inviting feature of this vacation villa is the sparkling blue swimming pool. Attractive large and well-positioned, it is surrounded by lounge chairs shaded by umbrellas. In this spot one can also enjoy a candle-lit dinner, in the midst of the greenery and flowers, while taking in the sunset and being serenaded by humming cicadas..

Both buildings have their own separate kitchens and living areas. The main house also offers a large dining room and sun room with pool table.
