he village was built in the Middle Ages by a noble family of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. It is situated on a hilltop, 150 m above sea level, overlooking a magnificent landscape of vineyards, olive groves and rolling hills surrounding the city of Volterra. This village, although many centuries have passed, has not suffered the changes that spoil its characteristic flavour, but has retained its authenticity and typicality, as the inhabitants of Tuscany can testify.
The hamlet stretches over a high point that was a fortress and other, gentler and less steep hills on which dwellings have been built, and among them we find Villa in sale.
This elegant free-style villa, built around 1800, was carefully restored about 10 years ago, keeping the typical architecture. Some original pieces of furniture and interiors, carefully and tastefully selected down to the smallest detail, give it an elegant look, enriched by precious decorations, paintings and original vaulted ceilings, taking us back in time and giving us a taste of the place as it once was.
