Villa Giotto is a fantastic 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom semi-detached villa, with modern comforts such as air conditioning, internet, and WIFI. Set on top of a hill in a panoramic position close to Volterra, it boasts stunning 360-degree views from its large private gardens and terraces and the communal pool. The large open-plan lounge is a very comfortable and sociable space with three sets of patio doors to take in the views, and there is a fully equipped kitchen and dining area with a dishwasher. Villa Giotto is in a prime position for exploring all that Tuscany has to offer. Set on the top of a hill, it boasts stunning 360-degree views. You can see the sunrise at the front of the villa, enjoy the sun in the garden all day and watch the sunset at the rear of the villa (glass of wine optional). Thanks to the three large patio doors in the living room/kitchen area, the amazing views can also be seen from inside the villa. The villa is part of an old Borgo called Collevicchi that has been re-built in a traditional Tuscan style but has modern facilities. The Borgo is made up of just 10 individual properties (6 apartments and 4 semi-detached villas - our villa is one of the semi-detached villas). Entry to the Borgo is via a private road that serves the Borgo, the Agriturismo Santa Vittoria and one other private villa. Remotely controlled gates allow access to Borgo Collevicchi and there is plenty of parking available within the fully landscaped grounds. The Villa has two well-appointed double bedrooms: Bedroom 1 features a Queen-size bed with a new top-quality memory foam mattress and sprung base, a double wardrobe, a small low cupboard, a dressing table with a chair and mirror, and large patio doors that open onto the front garden. The second bedroom features two twin beds (with new sprung bases and comfortable mattresses) that can be connected together to form a Queen-size double bed if necessary, a double wardrobe, dressing table with chair and mirror, and two sets of large patio doors (one set of patio doors opens onto the front garden and the second set opens onto the side garden - which makes for a very light and airy room). The large open-plan lounge has a triple sofa that converts into a very comfortable double bed. Freshly laundered bed sheets, towels and bath towels, are included in the cost of your stay. The bedrooms and lounge are all fully air-conditioned for comfort in the hot summer months (a brand new Mitsubishi system has been fitted in 2023), and the units are also reversible to provide additional heating in the winter. The villa's hot water is provided by a modern on-demand gas boiler which also provides central heating for the winter months. There are two well-equipped tiled bathrooms, both of which feature a shower, large washbasin, vanity unit with two large drawers, toilet, bidet and heated towel rail. The fully equipped kitchen features an oven, gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer, in the utility room there is a top-loading washing machine, cleaning equipment, a vacuum cleaner, an ironing board and an iron. There is also storage for sunbeds (four are provided for guests use) etc. Outside, to the rear of the property, there is a large (55sq Metres) pergola covering the south-facing terrace (the terrace also has an open area for sunbathing). To the side of the property is a smaller covered terrace where scenic breakfasts can be enjoyed. The remainder of the large garden is made up of paths and lawned areas, breathtaking views can be seen from all three sides of the private gardens. The large salt-water swimming pool is approximately 20 metres away from the villa (30 seconds walk from the front garden) and is open from the 1st June to the 30th September, the pool also offers spectacular panoramic views from its terrace. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the villa and around the pool area, although due to the infrastructure of the Italian internet system, it is more for social media and catching up with emails than for playing games etc. Just 15 minutes drive away (on one road) is the famous Etruscan city of Volterra (said to be the inspiration for the Twilight films and series), which has many excellent restaurants to choose from and plenty of shops for retail therapy (details of our favourite restaurants are provided in our welcome pack). The nearest supermarket is just 10 minutes drive away (towards Volterra). This supermarket is well stocked and can provide for most of your needs. There is also a much larger supermarket located just past Volterra. Being positioned in the centre of Tuscany, the fabulous cities of Siena and Pisa are within an hours drive, while Florence and Lucca are slightly over an hour away. The very popular San Gimignano is around 20 minutes drive away, and the nearest coast (Cecina) is around 40 minutes drive. There are many vineyards nearby that are open to the public for wine tasting and tours, and most have food available too.
