the Val di Cecina, just outside the tiny borgo of Lustignano (900m),
between the area of the Bolgheri wineries and the beaches of Baratti, San
Vincenzo and Populonia, Pieve di San Giovanni enjoys a happy hilly position
390 m above sea level, with open views on every side. The complex, dating
from 1200 and consisting of the parish church and attached pilgrims'
hospital, combines the beauty of the old stone buildings with the charm and
comfort of the most tasteful contemporary design. The refined renovation
has preserved some of the elements that characterised the original building
that spreads from the central courtyard: the exposed stone walls, the high
ceilings with the original wooden truss and exposed beams and even the base
of the baptismal font, highlighted by the glass flooring in the imposing
hall which originally housed the church and now contains a long wooden
table made from a single tree trunk and a particular circular suspended
fireplace in corten. The prestigious furnishings and accessories, the large
modern kitchen, the elegant bedrooms with modern private bathrooms, the gym
and the wellness area with heated indoor pool and Turkish bath, all define
the caliber of the structure and make it a fantastic destination for those
who love the peaceful atmosphere of the countryside without renouncing
luxury and comfort. The garden, an oasis of peace that offers enchanting
panoramas on all sides, and the beautiful infinity pool complete the
programme of a perfect stay enriched by a variety of destinations easily
reached thanks to the complicity of wonderful panoramic roads Interior: The
complex unfolds around the central internal courtyard of the house. The
main entrance is located on the front façade and leads into the large hall
dominated by a long wooden table and a circular suspended fireplace
surrounded by sofas. From here, a few steps lead on one side to the
internal courtyard and on the other to a second, open-plan living area with
kitchen with central steel island, dining area and sitting room with access
to the garden (on the pool/outdoor dining area side). The ground floor is
completed by the master bedroom with king size bed, cast iron fireplace and
ensuite bathroom with tub and shower, by a bathroom with shower and sauna
and by a guest bathroom. A wooden staircase from the living room leads up
to the first floor with TV room with study area (in a loft area) and a
corridor leading to the sleeping area with four double bedrooms (one with
access also from an external staircase). The bedrooms are served by a
bathroom with tub and by three bathrooms with shower (one of which is
ensuite). Two bedrooms and two bathrooms can become a family suite thanks
to a door in the corridor that separates them from the others.
Independently accessible from the outside and from the courtyard are the
well-equipped gym and wellness area with heated swimming pool with
hydromassage, Turkish bath and relaxation area. The laundry room is located
in an annex facing the veranda. Air conditioning in the bedroom (except for
one located on the first floor). Park: The level park surrounding the
house, with an open view over the countryside, is part of an estate of over
30 hectares and includes hiking and biking trails immersed in the woods.
The vegetation planted in the garden is a triumph of variegated blooms,
bushes of roses and lavender, tangerine and cherry trees, tall cypresses
and many olive trees scattered around the extensive lawns and the large
paved area that surrounds the pool. At the entrance of the property is a
large parking area, while around the house is a relaxation area protected
by a pergola, a gazebo surrounded by wisteria with table and chairs and an
area for outdoor dining by the pool, easily reachable from the hall exits
and equipped with sink and barbecue. Please notice that photos are taken in
spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass
could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa. Swimming

the garden on a slightly lower terrace. About 20 m from the house, it is

and a gazebo organised with a dining area, sink and barbecue for poolside
