Keywords: House
This picturesque farmhouse with panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside has been converted into villas for the enjoyment of the discerning few. It has been designed to make you feel at home, each with its own kitchen and outdoor terrace. This house was newly renovated in 2004 and includes three separate villas, a one bedroom, a two bedroom and a three bedroom. The outdoor terrace is fully furnished and perfect for eating al fresco, watching the sun set or greeting each new dawn.
Located in the town of Rosignano Marittimo, in the providence of Livorno, which is just twenty minutes from Pisa Airport. This estate is located in the heart of Tuscany within striking distance of cultural centers of major artistic interest. Right off the Etruscan coastline of Tuscany, this casa crowns a panoramic view of the village leading down to the Mediterranean Sea. Each villa has its own entrance and terrace area furnished.
This villa is fully restored in an old world style setting for a perfect get-away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities, and yet it is so centrally located that Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano, Siena, Tuscany’s most beautiful site of the Palio races, Volterra, villa Puccini, Livorno are all easily taken in one-day trips.Bicycle rentals are another option for excursions and small trips around the hills and to the coast.Let’s not forget you can relax on the sun baked shores of the Mediterranean Sea which is just five minutes from your villa.
The estate is centrally located to two main roads that provide access to all these preferred cities. Topping the village is the 13th- century Castle of Rosignano Marittimo with a museum which is open daily. A variety of Tuscany-style restaurants and small shops are just steps off our driveway. Or if you prefer preparing your own meals each villa has a large eat-in-kitchen with all its amenities.
A large super market is just a short drive and offers everything like home including the freshest cheeses of Tuscany. Rome and Venice are just a two and a half hour drive away, or just hop on the train which is only five minutes away (via car) to enjoy any of these historic cities. Why stay in a big city when you can enjoy the Tuscan small town life with these famous historical cities just minutes away.
The present owners are an Italian-American couple who inherited the estate and immediately started to renovate this once active farmhouse into a vacation getaway. Completed in 2004, this elegant farmhouse was converted into four private villas. The owners reserved one for themselves, which they retreat away from New York life about six months of the year. The owners are fluent in both English and Italian. They take great pride in providing personal care of all the accommodations, needs, and interests of their guests.
Guests are invited to stroll among the estates olive groves for sampling of our extra-virgin olive oil. They are also encouraged to ask any questions they may have. This estate covering an area of approximately 17 acres blends into the harmonious scenery of the Tuscan countryside, where green hills slope down towards the horizon and woods alternate with vineyards and olive groves.

My wife and I have recently returned from our vacation in Rosignano Marittimo where we stayed at one of Tony and Antoinette's villas. The villa was exactly as described and was found to be a wonderful home base for our daily adventures. Tony and Antoinette could not have been more helpful, accommodating and kind. From advice on what to see, where to shop, train schedules, transportation assistance and even lining up a rental car for us.....their door was always open. Although not a necessity a rental car does have its advantages however, the public transportation system is more than adequate for getting around....just show some patience in learning the schedules. We used it frequently for trips to Florence. Also consider a variety of tours offered out of Florence (ie San Gimignano, Siena and the Chianti region...Antoinette has the info!) Another recommendation would be to learn a few Italian expressions and have a good understanding of the monetary system. All in all it was wonderful experience and I highly recommend a stay at this property.

What a beautiful setting with a beautiful village. We stayed here for 7 nights in May and would highly recommend it for everyone wanting experience a true Italian village life. Easy walking to the town with several good local restaurants and small markets. You will need a car to visit other areas and Tony will help you with the car rental. Beautiful views, easy access to all of Tuscany, great little villages to explore close by, and wonderful hosts.

We had a wonderful experience staying at Antoinette and Nino's villa in Rosignano! Antoinette was so helpful with our day trips, providing us with trains schedules and tips to navigate the trains. Nino was kind enough to drive us to and from the train station all the while telling us about the area and the history of the town. The olive grove and fruit trees provide a peaceful surrounding. Take a walk through the grove and you will see a spectacular view of the countryside. We also learned how the olives are harvested each season. I would highly recommend this immaculate villa for your vacation, and don't forget to purchase the delicious olive oil!

My husband and I and 2 friends spent one week at Villa Saracino. We had a lovely time. The villa was clean and comfortable. Tony and Antoinette were very kind and helpful hosts. I would definitely recommend this villa to others. It was a very good deal for the money. We took day trips to the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Lucca, Florence, San Gimignano, and the Cinque Terre area. I felt it had a good central location for visiting the places we wanted to see. The listing photos accurately reflected the rental's appearance and amenities and the listing description was accurate regarding the location. I would stay here again.

Most beautiful sites & the perfect Tuscany Villa with breathtaking vistas of Mediterranean Beaches.

Located in the western countyside of Tuscany, in two scenic towns of Rosignano on the Mediterranean made this a perfect location to visit many cities in Tuscany. Most of the scenic medievil cities are one hour away by car making it easy to visit Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano, and Pisa. A visit to Portovenere leading to Cinqueterra is also a car ride away. The train station is minutes from the villa and can be used to travel between Rome and Florence. We loved the travel and enjoyed being home in Villa Saracino with Antoinette and Tony, who treated us a family. Tony had route suggestions and Antionette make the best Cheesecake. Our villa was lovely and comfortable with beautiful views of the olive groves and mountian sides that make us wish we could do it all again. We will recommend this Villa to all of our fiends and relatives.

"Nino" and "Netta" are the perfect hosts at this beautiful villa. Everything was immaculate and beautiful. The scenery and the atmoshere were so relaxing-we felt like we were in the movie "Uner the Tuscan Sun" The villa was fully furnished and very comfortable. Marasimmo Rossignano is a terrific area to visit. The beach was so close and the town has lots of restaurants to enjoy. I would not hesitate to recommend this villa to anyone.

Vacation in Tuscany

Our 10 day stay at the Villa Saracino was one of the best vacations we have had in many years. Antoinette and Tony were the very best host and hostess. We were very comfortable in the largest of their apartments. There were four adults in our party over 60. The villa was large and very comfortable. There was wi-fi connection which was very helpful in allowing us to contact family and friends while away. All the rooms are spacious and modern, especially the baths. The villa is only moments away from a lovely village which allowed us to walk and enjoy the Tuscan life with the locals. All in all we had a wonderful vacation and would stay again with Antoinette and Tony if we get to go back to Tuscany. We specially enjoyed our breakfast and afternoons on the lovely outdoor patio enjoying the countryside. Travel to Sienna, Florence, Venice and many country hillside towns was very easy with Tony's help with directions for driving and train travel. Anyone who wishes to see Tuscany should feel very comfortable at the Villa Saracino in Livorno.

We stayed at this villa with two other couples in October. The villa was extremely clean and spacious- plenty of room for all of us.There was a mutual gathering room, yet had privacy for each couple. There is a little downtown area within walking distance of the villa with awesome restaurants. We usually bought food at the local grocery stores and had our breakfasts at the villa before departing on our excursions for the day. From this villa location we were easily able to drive to our intended destinations: Cinque Terre, Lucca, Siena, and Florence. Once after telling owners Antoinette and Tony about an enjoyable restaurant we discovered in the next town, they asked us for the name so they could relay that information to their next guests. They are kind, gracious people who were so helpful not only in helping us find our planned day trip destinations, but even assisted us with unexpected vehicle trouble one day. A stroll around their property (through the olive groves) was truly breath taking with 360 degree views of Tuscany and the Mediterranean. Closer to the villa itself there were lemon and peach trees and grape vines. I felt more relaxed there than I'd felt in months. I wish I could have bottled that!

Our week at the Saracino villa was the most relaxing, enjoyable vacation yet. The apt. was just right, the views were inspiring, the village was charming, and the Saracinos were wonderful hosts. Thank you for sharing your Italian treasure with us. I can't say enough how much we loved being there. We're wishing we were still there.

We statyed at this villa in june of 2010 and enjoyed the warm hospitality offered by antoinette and anthony! The town and countryside was very picturesque and strolling through the downtown and sipping on a cappuccino was memorable. The one bedroom villa was extremely clean and spacious. it was also very safe, with gated parking. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone. Do yourself a favor and purchase the olive oil cultivated and pressed right on the premises, amazing! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
