places in all of Tuscany, the town of Volterra, cradle of Etruscan
civilization, set on the spur of a hill at 541 m above sea level and
dominating the Val di Cecina. It enjoys a secluded position on a hill that
offers beautiful views of the hilly landscapes that characterise the area
and from where you can see the profiles of nearby Monte Voltraio, an ideal
destination for hikers and walkers. The structure stands within an old
renovated farm complex and is made up of a main building and an annex, with
elegant family furnishings and air-conditioned rooms, allowing groups and
large families to have their own space as well as a large common area
comprising living room and kitchen overlooking the garden. The farm is
surrounded by a large, perfectly kept park with green lawns and living
areas and is guarded by a garrison of olive trees and a vineyard that
produces a red wine of Sangiovese quality and a white Vermentino, which the
owners will be happy for guests to taste in the cellar next to the
farmhouse. The property also includes a splendid consecrated chapel which
is available for weddings. It is just 2.5 km from the historic town centre
and from the 13th century town walls that contain thousand-year old
architectural and artistic masterpieces, where you can find shops, museums
and numerous restaurants, while within easy reach are the art cities of
Siena, Florence, Luca, Pisa and San Gimignano as well as small villages
scattered around the territory, oases and nature reserves, such as those of
Berignone and of Monterufoli, very close to the town and, also, the
beautiful beaches of the Livorno coast and Versilia. The Emma Villas'
Concierge Team can be reached for any emergencies, or further information
you may require during your stay. All useful telephone numbers will be sent
together with your booking documents. Interior: Podere Fornacchia is spread
