Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills surrounding Volterra, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, the Poggiarellone is an extraordinary vacation rental that combines centuries of history with refined contemporary comfort. This ancient Pisan watchtower, set along the historic oil and wine road that winds toward San Gimignano, has been meticulously restored by its owners with a deep respect for the architectural heritage and the materials typical of the region. Chestnut wood floors, terracotta tiles, travertine surfaces, and half-vaulted terracotta ceilings in the living area speak to a careful preservation of the property's unique character, while spacious and elegantly appointed rooms with design elements ensure an exceptional level of comfort. The property enjoys a remarkable 360-degree panoramic view over the Tuscan landscape, making it an ideal destination for large groups or family gatherings seeking an unforgettable stay in one of Italy's most evocative settings. Outdoors, a beautifully maintained garden and park surround the villa, offering guests a lush and private natural environment. A stunning heated swimming pool with panoramic views, a generous yard adorned with colorful flowers and aromatic plants, high-speed internet Wi-Fi throughout the property, and private parking complete the picture of a residence that effortlessly blends authentic Tuscan character with every modern convenience.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Poggiarellone are a true celebration of the Tuscan landscape. The park surrounding the property is embellished with expansive grassy areas delimited by hedges that ensure complete privacy, while vast tracts of wheat fields and ancient olive groves extend to the horizon. An explosion of colorful flowers greets you upon arrival, and a dedicated corner planted with aromatic herbs invites you to gather fresh ingredients for traditional Tuscan recipes. Numerous shaded areas are scattered throughout the grounds, offering ideal spots for relaxation at any time of day. Beneath a covered porch and on the panoramic terrace, comfortable sofas and armchairs provide the perfect setting for unwinding while taking in the sweeping views. The panoramic terrace is also the ideal vantage point from which to admire the golden wheat fields dotted with red poppies in June, or to savor a glass of Tuscan red wine while watching the sun set over the hills. Please note that photo documentation of the property is typically taken in spring, so the colors and blooms of the gardens, lawns, and park may vary depending on the season of your visit. The rectangular swimming pool, measuring 6 by 15 meters with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 2.20 meters, is situated just 10 meters from the villa and can be accessed directly from the living area or from the lawn in front of the property. Finished in sand-colored PVC and equipped with internal lighting as well as perimeter illumination, the pool features a Roman staircase for easy access and a large solarium in larch wood slats shaded by generous umbrellas, complete with comfortable sun loungers. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Pool heating is available on request from October 15 to April 30.
