Description
Enjoy glorious valley views from one of your two swimming pools at Villa Majolica and Bobolino, two charming villas set on a Tuscan hilltop surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and forested hills. Just half an hour from Florence and with Lucca and Siena also easily reached, this estate is perfectly located for exploring the very best of this beautiful region.
The larger of the two villas, Villa Majolica, has undergone such a thoughtful restoration and features charming interiors alongside modern features. Soak up the traditional Tuscan ambience as you admire exposed wood beams and original terracotta floors and appreciate the comfortable furnishings and great attention to detail of this welcoming 5-bedroom home, sleeping up to 11 guests.
Smaller Villa Bobolino is bursting with character and charm, with room for 4-6 guests across two bedrooms and a sofa-bed. The panoramic views are stunning as you relax on the veranda or wander up to Majolica for grand al-fresco feasts on the large terrace with more sweeping valley views close by.
With exclusivity of the whole estate, guests have the benefit of two wonderful swimming pools. The picture-perfect setting of Villa Majolica’s pool will enchant you with its pretty flowers whilst Villa Bobolino’s salt-water pool makes the most of the Tuscan landscapes and also features a jacuzzi corner.
Both medieval Montelupo Fiorentino and historic Empoli are around ten minutes by car with their inviting restaurants, cafes and shops whilst the artistic treasures and exquisite architecture of Florence can be reached in around half an hour.
When not hiking, cycling or horse-riding through the undulating landscapes of cypresses, vineyards and olive groves, spend time visiting idyllic villages such as San Miniato and San Gimignano or stunning towns including Siena, Lucca and Pisa. You could even reach the Versilia coast in just over an hour or head to the Chianti vineyards to taste some of the finest wines in this exceptional part of Italy.
