Characteristic and typical 18th century villa, simply restored keeping true to its original features, such as the tiled 'cotto' floors and the internal staircase. This property was once the country residence of an artistocratic family, Leonori. It's origins are verified by a small mausoleum in the small 17th century consecrated church standing next to the villa. Quiet and original position in a tiny old country hamlet in the middle of a farm producing wine, olive oil and jams. Lovely views of the countryside, the bell towers and towers of Volterra in the distance. In front of the house there is a gravel terrace and attractive garden - olive grove with sunny swimming pool on a lower level at 50m from the house. Simply but fully furnished in rustic style with some antiques and in complete harmony with its environment. Central heating. Three hours cleaning daily included in the rental price, from Monday to Friday (10am - 1pm). Hairdryers in first and second floor bathrooms. Access via an unpaved road in good condition, a climb of 550m. This is the ideal house for those seeking the atmosphere of old 'lived' country homes.
