Villa Frantusina, Volterra - Pisa and Valdera

2 bedrooms 1 bathroom 2 to 4 guests Private Pool 4 - Very good - Very good 4

Frantusina offers a perfectly private couples retreat overlooking the iconic Tuscan countryside. It’s idyllically hillside located by open farmland at the southern tip of the Valdera valley where it opens into the Val di Cecina. Fine wines and DOC extra virgin olive oil are produced from the surrounding scenic landscapes alongside the sweeping grain fields.

This is a Tuscan cottage to escape to when you want to get away from it all. It has a double bedroom, bathroom and a twin bedroom on the first floor, the ground floor's cosy all-in-one kitchen, dinner and living room are dominated by double doors with countryside views. Stepping outside, you can enjoy al fresco meals under the loggia on the shaded dining table. Or alternatively, relax on the raised private pool terrace when you need to take a refreshing dip.

There’s plenty to explore beyond the natural delights on your doorstep. The small pretty hilltop village of Lajatico 15 Km to the west, the home town of tenor Andrea Bocelli where he holds annual concerts at the Teatro del Silenzio, also, don't miss the central piazza there for lunch! The villa's location means there is something for every day-tripper with the medieval walled city of Volterra 13 km to the south, the Golf resort of Castelfalfi is 15 km to the North and San Gimignano is 25 km to the West.

Of course, you can just sit out under the cool loggia and hold your own tasting as the sun sets on another perfect Tuscan day at Frantusina.

Wir suchten ein Haus mit viel Ruhe. Das war hier auch so. Was wir nicht wussten, dass das Nachbargrundstück auch als Ferienhaus vermietet wird. Dies ist durch eine grosse Hecke getrennt, man sieht nicht rein. Aber je nach Feriengäste ist s dann halt mehr oder weniger zu hören. Die Lage ist ausserhalb von Villamagna. Das Haus ist ansonsten schön und sauber. Die Geräte sind alt aber funktionsfähig. Die Aussenanlage ist grosszügig, gepflegt und hat eine tolle Aussicht über die Hügel. Der Pool ist gross und gepflegt. Die Gastgeber sind zuvorkommend, wohnen aber nicht in der Nähe. Roberto spricht fast kein Englisch, bemüht sich aber sehr mit Translate. Das Grundstück ist perfekt eingezäunt. Kein Schlupfloch auch für kleine Hunde ist dies super. In der Nacht ist dir Ruhe hier überwältigend. Das Einzige was man hört ist die Natur, sonst nichts.
Local attractions Wir gingen nie auswärts essen. Der Grill ist unser Lieblingsinstrument in den Ferien. Dieser ist hier im Haus vorhanden, aber ein sehr günstiges kleineres Modell. Grosse Grillabende kann man mit dem nicht abhalten. Der Einkaufsladen im Dorf Villamagna (Auto 4 Minuten, zu Fuss 20 Minuten) hat mehr im Angebot als man von Aussen meint. Auch sehr guter Käse oder auf Wunsch geschnittene Fleischspezialitäten. Wir können diesen sehr empfehlen!
To Tuscany team comments for this review:
Wir bedanken uns für Ihr ausführliches und positives Feedback! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Ihnen Villa Frantusina und die ruhige Lage so gut gefallen haben. Und auch schön ist, dass Ihr Vierbeiner den Auslauf im Garten voll auskosten konnte. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in der Toskana begrüßen zu dürfen.
