Description:
Following a three year restoration of a beautifully located Tuscan farm house, resulting in a well planned and very comfortable villa.
Villa Monterosoli is situated midway between Palaia and Marti (Montopoli val D’arno) in rural Tuscany. Pisa, which is well served by both international and low cost airlines is only 40 minutes away by car. Pontedera, the nearest large town is approximately twenty minutes and the seaside town of Livorno fifty minutes drive away. The nearest food shops are in Marti, within four kilometres.
The villa has a lovely garden imersed in 3 hectares of surrounding woodland and olive groves and is situated on a hill with spectacular unspoilt views over the Tuscan countryside. The area is well known for the famous white truffles and indeed one of the largest truffles ever found in the area was found in the woods behind the villa.
The approach to the house is via a country road which is not suitable for very low slung sports cars, but is perfectly adequate for all other vehicles.
The ground floor comprises of a large entrance which leads into a a drawing room with library filled with English books and a collection of English Film in dvd and also a cd music collection. A Digital Flat screen Tv with English Sky satelite connected to a Bose surround system, makes this perfect to watch / hear your favorites artists. Off to the right of this room is an open plan sitting room of 60 square metres, with french windows overlooking the view and valley. At one end of the room is a stone fireplace for winter use. The adjacent dinning room which seats 10 comfortably leads upstairs via the terracotta stairs or into a fully equipped kitchen. The owner is keen on cooking so has put in double electric ovens, 1 gas hob and an halogen electric hob, dishwasher and every other convenience. Also downstairs is a utility room with washing machine, dryer and ironing equipment.
Upstairs are three large double bed bedrooms with marble bathrooms en suite, plus a twin bedded room with shower. The master bedroom has a large jet shower as well. All bathrooms have bidets except the small double room. There is plenty of cupboard and storage space in all bedrooms and hangers are provided.
The house itself is furnished as a home with a mix of English and Italian character so you will not get the feeling of staying in rented accommodation; the beds, mattresses and sheets were specially made with maximum comfort in mind so you should certainly sleep well. All kitchen equipment etc is also new.
Also in the garden is a traditional Italian farm barn and a working wood burning Tuscan oven. There is also a traditional wood barbecue. Alfresco eating for 10 people opposite the kitchen under the umbrellas and the shade of the oven contruction.
With “green in mind,” Geothermic heating has been installed which works on the natural temperature of the land, so operates without gas or oil. In winter, under floor heating supplies the ground floor and radiators on the first floor which also double up to provide cooling air in the summer. The windows are also double glazed for additional comfort.
The infinity pool, with fine views over the countryside is set away from the house for those who want peace and quiet whilst others splash away! There is ample pool furniture, 8 sun loungers with cushions a few armchairs, outside shower. There are many walks and paths to explore and the area is ideal for both adults and children.
