Il Pratone is located in the heart of the Val di Cecina, immersed in a natural paradise of 37 hectares, a farm with animals and crops, cereals, orchards and olive groves, creating an oasis of flavour and authenticity. Here, surrounded by beautiful hilly views and far from the hustle and bustle of city life, you can savour the pleasure of a peaceful stay. The villa is an old Tuscan farmhouse, built way back in 1883, characterised by timeless charm, and then renovated in 1998 by the current owners who have made a determined effort to preserve intact its historical essence, respecting the simplicity and authenticity of its rural style and keeping intact the foundations that have defined its essence. The interior, too, has the charm of a Tuscan farmhouse with exposed stone walls, ceilings in terracotta or with typical wooden beams, yet with all necessary comforts to welcome guests. The ground floor is characterised by the privacy it offers, with its independent and non-communicating rooms, all of which, however, face onto the garden. Il Pratone is suitable for those wishing to experience a holiday with moments of pure relaxation in an oasis of tranquillity immersed in unspoilt nature but with the possibility of making interesting tourist and gastronomic excursions, thanks to its convenient location close to Volterra, Siena, San Gimignano, Cecina and other famous Tuscan towns. Please note: Just 600 meters from the villa, along the access road, you will find the owner's restaurant, where villa guests are warmly welcomed.
Interior:
The villa is on two floors (non internally connected) for a total of about 220 sqm. The ground floor is characterised by three separate, non-communicating, areas, all with access to the garden through French windows. The first area, where the main entrance is located, includes the kitchen, a bathroom with shower (for the disabled) and the dining room, which is also accessible from the outside via a French window. The second independent access leads into the living room, then continues on to a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower and the laundry area. The last independent access leads to the suite with double bed, kitchenette/living room and bathroom with shower. Next to the main entrance are external stone stairs leading to an entrance door with internal stairs leading to the first floor consisting of a service kitchen with fireplace, two double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower, a double bedroom with fireplace, ensuite bathroom with shower and covered terrace, and a double bedroom with covered terrace and a bathroom with shower. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms.
Park:
The villa is set within a 37-hectare farm estate (in the designated areas, there are grazing animals and dogs protecting the flock). The garden surrounding the house covers approximately 10,000 sq m and includes Mediterranean vegetation such as oaks, holm oaks, cypresses and laurel hedges. A gazebo with dining area and barbecue is located near the kitchen, while a second barbecue and ping pong table are near the living room entrance. A volleyball court and children’s play area are located beside the pool area. Uncovered parking is available within the grounds.

Swimming Pool:
The completely-fenced swimming pool area is located in the rear part of the garden, just a few metres from the house and accessible up a few stone steps and then across an easy path in the lawn. Oval in shape and with Roman steps for access to the water, the pool measures 13 x 7 m with a constant depth of 1.20 m. Lined in golden granite PVC with a terracotta edge, it has salt purification and lighting, both internally and externally in the surrounding area. The solarium area, partly in porphyry (the part inside the fence) and partly lawn, is equipped with sunbeds, tables and umbrellas, offering the guests maximum comfort. There is also a shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.
