Villanovia is a conservative restoration example of a historic Tuscan farmhouse. Originally served as a warehouse and guard tower, this farmhouse was part of the agricultural properties of the local Bishops, as written in the registers of the XVII century. The recent renovation has preserved it rustic and original. Its distinctive special character provides a charming, warm atmosphere. Uniquely located on a hilltop inside one of the Tuscan protected areas, the house offers 700sm of internal living accommodation and 37 acres of private land, surrounded by a 360° amazing panorama over unspoiled Tuscany. Perfectly located for total relax vacation, at the same time offers short rides to historical sites and art cities. ​​Ideal for families with children, who enjoy the peace of nature and plenty of space. Groups can gather in the large dining room, prepare food together in the master kitchen or around the BBQ outdoor and seat all outside to watch breath-taking sunsets. Our property will be at your exclusive use, for a memorable holiday experience. You will feel at home.
Villanovia overlooks a hilltop of the natural park of Berignone, outside the village of Mazzolla, that a legend associate to an Etruscan settlement, called Mazzum, however the first historical document that attests the existence of Mazzolla dates from the year 1080 when the Bishop of Volterra was received there. The view spans seamlessly across the Cecina valley, the cities of Volterra and Pomarance, the Metallic Hills and Larderello, with the visible geothermal steams. The natural reserve of Berignone is untouched and populated by a large variety of wild animals, some peculiar birds and night-birds as well as covered with a dense and typical mediterranean forest. There are numerous hiking and biking paths inside the park as well as historical discoveries, such as the ancient middle-age ruines of the Bishops' Castle, the Castle of Luppiano and the fortresses of Rocca Sillana. There are a few rivers that cross the natural park, all affluent of the main Cecina river that forms a large valley and dies into the see in the nearby Etruscan Coast. Located in the center of the triangle made by the cities of Pisa, Siena and Florence, offers short rides to the cities of Volterra (10Km).
