Olive Stone & Oak

Secluded in the picturesque hills of Tuscany, this traditional villa is a peaceful haven for families looking to see the countryside. Apart from dreamy views from the covered terrace and private swimming pool, we like the versatility of this home. Split into two apartments with four en-suite bedrooms each, you can keep them independent for more privacy or connect them via the internal staircase. When it comes to exploring, find beaches like Marina di Bibbona around thirty minutes away, and the home also makes a good base for day trips to Cecina, Volterra and beyond.

Home truths:
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's private parking available here.
*The villa is split into two separate apartments that can be connected by an internal staircase. The ground-floor apartment can accommodate guests with limited mobility.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair for free.
*The swimming pool is only available for use between 15th April and 31st October.
*The traditional decor here might not be to everyone's taste. It feels a little dated in parts.
*While all of the bedrooms and bathrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*If you need to stock up, the closest supermarket is 4km away.
