This holiday home is located within the medieval walls of Volterra, which, due to its Etruscan origins, is one of the oldest cities in Italy. The house, surrounded by a large garden overlooking the Tuscan countryside, is on two floors.

The ground floor - where the door opens directly onto the garden - has a large living room - with a magnificent beamed ceiling. This lovely space has a breakfast area which separates the far end of the well equipped kitchen. Beyond the living room, there is a small bathroom with sink, and an elegant shower.

From the sitting room a marble staircase takes you upstairs where there are two large bedrooms, one double and one twin, both with beamed ceilings and an enclosed veranda, offering superb views. All rooms are equipped with furniture.

The greatest benefit of this house is the large walled garden (about 900 m2), the side of which is part of the ancient medieval city wall; It offers extraordinary views that stretch across this wonderful countryside. In the garden, equipped with barbecue, tables, chairs and sunbeds, there are several places to sit, eat, sunbathe and relax. Near the vegetable garden there is a swimming pool of 8 meters in diameter.

The washing machine is located in a sort of greenhouse. The caretaker, who looks after the garden and pool, lives in a house at the edge of the garden, out of sight of the pool.

Behind the house is a park where the famous flag thrower sometimes practices accompanied by atmospheric medieval drums. From the garden the sound of drums can be heard and guests can have the chance to see the unique show of the Throwers.

The great advantage of this house is the peace and privacy reserved for its guests who, at the same time, simply have to open the garden gate to quickly be in the heart of Volterra.
