Located on the top of a hill dominating the entire Val d’Elsa, Villa Pietraia includes an ancient farmstead or casa colonica a barn, a 15 metres infinity pool and a private garden surrounding the whole structure. The flat is on the first floor of the Villa. An outdoor staircase leads to a south-facing loggia, in the best Tuscan Villas tradition. From here, guests can admire the view and relax sitting on the benches or at the small table. The 150 square meters flat is made of seven rooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and grants a sleeping accommodation for 8 guests. The first bedroom with ensuite bathroom is located on the east side. Just outside the bedroom there is a studio with a sofa bed, adjoining the entrance. In this room, a big fireplace invites the guests to sit around the dining table or to relax on the couch. Next to it we find a fully equipped kitchen painted in pastel colours. Following the corridor we find the second bathroom and two bedrooms, the first with a queen-size bed and the second with three single beds. The sitting room is at the end of this corridor. The sitting room is probably our favourite room: with its windows that open on three different sides, it offers a view on the entire Val d’Elsa and it’s the best spot to admire sunsets. We want this flat to become your house for as long as you will stay here, a place to relax and forget everyday worries. This is why the rent includes daily housekeeping, so that you can fully enjoy your vacation without worrying about making your bed. Thanks to its 15 metres of length and 1,40 metres of depth, you will be able to swim freely and without worries in our pool. But we are convinced that the pool is also a place to relax surrounded by nature. This is why we chose an infinity pool, so the eye can embrace the whole horizon even when just an inch from the surface of the water. The garden surrounds the villa and our guests have complete access to it. Some of these plants are really old, like the lemon trees or the oak tree in the southern part of the garden, others are presents from friends that have enjoyed their time at Casa Pietraia, but every single one of them has a story to share with our guests. When the weather outside is nice, we like to set the old stone table for our guests, and dinner becomes an occasion to share stories and get to know each other. We also offer two other areas that are sheltered from the sun where you will be able to enjoy a lunch prepared with local products. If you are looking for a more intimate setting, go sit on the porch swing under the mulberry. At sunset, during summer, a light breeze caresses the leafy branches and makes it the perfect spot for meditation.
