Casa Pietro

Description:
A rare find in Tuscany – a new house in the heart of a charming hilltop village, only an hour from Pisa airport.

Set in an exclusive development of only 13 apartments in traditional Tuscan style with a shared swimming pool, our property boasts views across the valley to Volterra, and is only a few steps from all village amenities. Orciatico is a delightful Tuscan village with a café/bar which is the heart of village society, 2 grocery shops and a restaurant. You can buy fresh local produce at the weekly market in Lajatico, only 10 minutes away by car. Lajatico is the birthplace of the opera singer Andrea Bocelli, who hosts a concert each year in May at the spectacular Teatro del Silenzio, also only 10 minutes by car from our house.

The house has a spacious living room and a separate kitchen / dining room. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, both with full ensuite shower rooms with shower, sink and WC. The front bedroom has a double bed and opens onto a balcony with beautiful views. The back bedroom has 2 single beds which can be made up as 2 singles or a double. There is a 3rd full shower room downstairs, also with shower, sink and WC, and a sofabed in the living room which can comfortably sleep 2. For outdoor living, there is the front lawn which opens onto the communal courtyard, and the back terrace which is accessed from the kitchen, so you can follow the sun or shade throughout the day. There is no TV in the house, but we do have a radio cum iPod dock and speakers for you to play music from your own iPod or MP3 player. There is full gas central heating in all rooms. The kitchen is equipped with gas hob, electric oven, fridge and washing machine.

Orciatico sits 300m above sea level. It is the perfect spot to enjoy authentic Tuscan village life. Orciatico has about 400 inhabitants all of whom are very friendly; you will definitely feel welcomed as part of the village! There is also a public tennis court in the village. Orciatico is a good base for sightseeing while being off the main tourist trail. The beautiful alabaster town of Volterra is only 30 minutes away and is our main local centre. San Gimignano and Pisa are an hour away. Slightly further afield but still within easy day trip distance are Florence and Siena. A car is essential to get the most out of your holiday here For foodies there are several wine cellars and food producers in the area. There are many excellent restaurants nearby - we will be happy to share our favourites with you
