villa Leucci della Stella
Italy » Toscana » volterra
4 Bedrooms , 5 Bathrooms

Tucked away in a lesser known part of Tuscany, undiscovered by crowds of tourists, Villa Leucci della Stella , is idyllically located in an exceptionally beautiful, lush and varied landscape dotted with olive groves, vines, fields of wheat and sunflowers and woodlands abounding in wild boars, porcupines, foxes and deer. Situated where the provinces of Pisa, Siena and Florence meet, the Villa is just a short distance from the well preserved historical towns of San Gimignano and Volterra. In this area The Etruscans, Longobards, the seafaring Republic of Pisa, the Templars and the noble families of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany have all left their traces as they passed through or settled, attracted by this "prosperous hill". Villa Leucci della Stella is a traditional 1800 Tuscan farmhouse converted with great attention to detail by the proprietors. The original features such as the terra cotta flooring, chestnut wooden beams and stone walls enhance the modern restoration to provide a comfortable environment. The Villa comprised of two floors measures 250 sq.m and hosts up to 11 persons.
