This romantic Tuscan home sits in a picturesque hillside setting, surrounded by country houses and olive groves, just a few minutes’ drive from the charming town of Casciana Terme, renowned for its thermal baths and excellent amenities.
Access is via a paved road, with only the last short stretch being unpaved, though very well maintained.
The property is fully fenced and accessed via a gated entrance. There is ample space to park multiple cars in the shade of the olive trees lining the driveway within the grounds.
Within the property, there are two buildings: the main house and an independent storage building, free-standing on all four sides.
THE HOUSE
This villa is a classic Tuscan country home with two floors. The first floor is accessed via an external staircase—a traditional feature of Tuscan farmhouses. Originally, the living quarters were on the upper floor, while the ground floor was used for storage, barns, and sometimes stables. That’s why the stairs were built outside!
The villa has been carefully preserved, maintaining its authenticity and Tuscan charm. On the ground floor, you’ll find several rooms, all with direct access to the garden, as well as a small bathroom. A spacious double room features beautiful terracotta brick arches and volterrana vaulted ceilings. There’s also a traditional wood-fired oven for baking bread and pizza—perfect for enjoying meals in the rear garden under the pergola, where every year a magnificent wisteria plant paints the sky violet.
Upstairs, at the top of the external staircase, there is a delightful little space—a charming terrace, ideal for reading a book or sipping a glass of fine wine, alone or with company.
The main entrance opens into a large, bright living room with a working wood-burning fireplace. From here, you can access both the kitchen—positioned in a straight line from the living area—and one of the two double bedrooms, located to the right of the lounge.
The kitchen is a traditional Tuscan cucina in muratura and measures around 15 square metres. From the kitchen, you can access the second double bedroom, the terrace, two bathrooms, and a room officially registered as a storage space but currently used as a third bedroom. It’s not as large as the main bedrooms, but it’s a useful extra space!
The terrace is nothing short of stunning. A true outdoor dining and entertaining area—whether under the shade of a parasol or beneath a starry sky that you’ll never want to look away from. The views over the surrounding countryside are simply breathtaking.
To summarise, the first floor includes:Access via an external staircase
Small terrace
Spacious living room with fireplace
Fully fitted kitchen with direct terrace access
Large panoramic terrace
2 double bedrooms
1 additional room (officially registered as a storage space but used as a third bedroom)
2 bathrooms with windows and showers
This house offers flexibility—it can be converted into two separate apartments, each with its own independent entrance, or, by adding an internal staircase, transformed into a single, spacious Tuscan country home with a wonderfully rustic feel.
THE SHED
A little further from the main house, you’ll find an independent storage building, free-standing on all four sides, with generous dimensions and high ceilings.
This space invites creativity—it could remain a simple storage area or be transformed into a workshop, a studio, or a place to explore a new craft, passion, or hobby.
THE GARDEN
With a regular layout, the garden is mostly flat and wraps around the house. Planted with olive trees, it requires minimal maintenance.
THE SWIMMING POOL
At present, there is no swimming pool, but the owners have already checked, and there are no particular restrictions on building one. Of course, a feasibility study would be required.
