About this property
Villa Capannina.
Private pool, beautiful grounds and stunning countryside views
Villa Capannina has been owned by my family for over 30 years. It is a typical cosy cottage on one level with its own private pool, large terrace and breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. Situated on the outskirts of the ancient hill town of Volterra (the oldest town in Tuscany).
Villa Capannina has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a living area and a well equipped kitchen. The master bedroom features a superking size bed, double wardrobe, dressing table and electric fan with a window opening onto the front courtyard. The second bedroom has 2 single beds, a double wardrobe, electric fan and double doors that also open onto the front courtyard. The bathroom has a large walk in shower which was installed recently. The second bathroom is across the courtyard and has a shower, sink and toilet as well as a washing machine. The kitchen is well equipped with a tall fridge freezer, electric oven and hob, kettle, toaster and coffee machine (Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genius S). The living area has a comfortable sofa and chairs and a dining table, TV and WiFi.
Capannina sits in 6500m sq of secluded grounds with magnificent views of the Tuscan hills. We have 99 olive trees as well as apple, pear, apricot, walnut and fig trees. We also have a small area of vines.
The pool is 12ft x 20ft with steps into the shallow end which is approximately 3ft deep, the deep end is approximately 6ft. This is a private pool exclusive for your use only. We have 4 sun loungers by the pool and there is a table with 4 chairs under the olive trees. There is also a L-Shaped rattan style outdoor sofa with parasol.
Outside and to the side of the house is a large raised wooden terrace with stunning views of the grounds and Tuscan countryside. On the terrace is a dining table and chairs with a parasol to give shade at mealtimes, a semi-circular rattan sofa with side tables and a gas BBQ. We have a number of solar lights around the house, terrace and pool area which come on automatically at dusk.
The house is perfectly placed for day trips to Florence, Sienna, San Gimignano and Pisa. The Mediterranean sea at Ceccina is only 30 miles away.
Bed linen, bath towels, cleaning and WiFi are included in the rental cost. Pool towels are not provided.
