Giulia

Villa Giulia dates back to the 13th century. This fully air-conditioned luxurious Tuscan villa is located in an ancient hamlet and sits within a 12-acre of land among the rolling hills covered with olive trees and vines. To reach the villa, guests will pass a winding country road, lined by majestic cypress trees that leads through a pebbled road and opens to the villa’s entrance; with the most spectacular breathtaking 360 degrees panoramic views of the countryside.

The two-story private property has been completely restored to a luxurious 8-bedroom villa offering modern comfort while retaining its original features and traditional design. The interior spaces have been tastefully decorated with unique furniture and modern touches down to the finest of details. The ground floor has a spacious open living room with direct access to two charming outdoor sitting terraces, a dining room and a fully equipped state of the art kitchen, opening to a lovely terrace perfect for alfresco dining. All the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms with large showers and can comfortably accommodate 16 persons. Two of these bedrooms are also suitable for guests with disability.

The property is surrounded by a garden where it is possible to make delightful walks as there are various paths that snake their way across the idyllic surroundings through the olive trees. Relax your senses in the amazing private infinity swimming pool with hydro massage and enjoy an aperitif under the Roman style pergola or one of the four more beautiful gazebos. Two of the gazebos are perfect for alfresco dining and the other two are ideal for relaxing and enjoying the stunning views of the peaceful countryside accompanied by a glass of wine. During your stay at this exclusive holiday retreat you can also experience cooking lessons, wine tasting and a number of exclusive Tuscan experiences.

Nearby the villa (approximately 3 kms away) there are two lakes immersed by nature, where guests can practice many activities including: sport fishing, trekking and mountain biking. In addition to the two lakes, the multifunctional area includes an equipped playground area for children, a cycle path, pedestrian paths in the woods, a solarium, a football field (soccer) a picnic area and a barbecue. In addition to visiting villages and art cities, guests can enjoy wine and good food as there are a number of restaurants, trattorias and wine bars nearby. Furthermore, the villa is an excellent departure point for visiting many important Tuscan cities of art: Florence, Pisa, Siena, Lucca, San Gimignano, Volterra, Vinci, Certaldo and other places of tourist interest are indeed within short driving distance like San Miniato renowned for the truffles, Lajatico where every summer Bocelli has his “Teatro del Silenzio” international concerts.
