Semi-detached home in a tranquil area in a little village near Lari, with beautiful views and not remote or isolated.

The house is very stylish and elegant but preserving the original Tuscan features of high beamed ceilings. It has been fully renovated by the present owner and converted from an oil mill into a very warm and welcoming home.

The entrance is into an open plan living space with fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and a courtyard; a glass door next to the kitchen floods light into this amazing spacious room. Very nice atmosphere and an excellent place to work or to rest but with amenities round the corner.

A wooden and metal staircase leads up to the hall, a fantastic bright room used as a working study; on this level there are 2 bedroms, a walk-in closet, a laundry room and a large bathroom with views, bath and shower. Another metal staircase leads up to a secluded roof terrace with spectacular views.

Central heating; wifi available; free parking directly outside the property; all services connected. Presented in very good order.

In the village there is a bar and a grocery store and we are only 3 km away, about 7 minutes, from the renown Tuscan village of Lari. The surrounding area is beautiful and a perfect base from which to explore Tuscany. The house is close to pretty Lari, with castle and the beautiful town of Casciana Terme, famous for its thermal waters and with a newly renovated spa which is a perfect place to spend a day relaxing, with indoor and outdoor pools. Casciana is dominated by a castle, with a beautiful central piazza and since Roman times it has been famous for the curative warm thermal waters. Today it is a bustling town with a busy weekly market and great shops and restaurant and a famous theatre. It is halfway between the famous hilltop village of Volterra and Pisa. There are so many great places within easy reach - it really is a wonderful spot from which to explore the whole of Tuscany.

The towns of Castiglioncello and Cecina on the coast, the golf courses of Pisa and Castelfalfi, and the historic towns of Volterra and San Gimignano are all close by, and each make a wonderful day out. The old town of Livorno is close too, from where it is possible to hop of the ferry to the magnificent island of Elba, just off the coast.The town is located in Valdera in Central Tuscany between Pisa and Florence. This colourful landscape of rolling hills is dotted with medieval villages, castles and lanes flanked with tall dark green cypress trees, all of which epitomizes the Tuscan landscape. The nearby città d’arte (cities of art) include Volterra, San Gimignano, Palaia and Florence, each offering splendid art and architecture to admire. In Lajatico, Andrea Bocelli, the famous tenor, was born and it is in the heart of Valdera that his Teatro del Silenzio (the Theatre of Silence) draws some of the biggest names in opera, when he hosts a summer festival each year in July.
