Fagnana

Descriptif de la Propriété

Traveling down a long cypress-lined drive, across an estate of olive groves and vineyards, one arrives at this ancient and traditional Tuscan farmhouse which has been restored with skill and care.

Inside a large fenced park with electric gate and at the center of a lovely garden and lawn, guests will find themselves amidst an elegant and, at the same time, familiar atmosphere.

Here nothing has been neglected in a sincere effort to make guests feel at ease or even on par with Leopold the Grand Duke of Tuscany, one important historical figure who came here often.

Situated in the rolling and green Pisan hills, the villa has a particularly attractive location, both for the peace and quiet that it offers and for its strategic distance from important tourist destinations such as Florence, Lucca, San Gimignano, Pisa, Volterra and Siena. One can also visit the thermal spas of nearby Casciana Terme, or, along the coast, visit the Versilia and Maremma regions famous for their seaside localities.
The outdoor swimming pool (6m x 12m open from mid-April to early October) is surrounded by splendid flower beds, carefully tended by expert hands which also look after the pergola where one can keep cool in the shade and enjoy refreshments. Centuries-old olive trees cast suggestive profiles on the clear blue water, their reflections and shadows dancing on the surface and offering shade.
Situated nearby is an outdoor dining area with aromatic plants and flowers arranged in terracotta vases.

Inside the villa a bright and magnificent double living area features a fireplace and arches supporting large white beams which, from above, defer to the ancient terracotta flooring below, partially covered with rugs.
The large, modern kitchen, perfectly equipped with all the necessary appliances, enables guests to prepare and enjoy wonderful meals which can be served indoors or outdoors, according to the season.
The large and bright bedrooms are perfectly exquisite, two of them having their own terrace from which guests can admire the soft hills in the pink light of dawn or the golden rays of sunset. The decorating scheme is superb throughout the villa, not only in the living areas, one of which lies adjacent to the bedrooms.
