A Tuscan holiday house for rent - Villa Olimpia
This attractive house is near Montopoli Val d´Arno, where the landscape gently slopes down into the valley of the Arno. Villa Olimpia sleeps 7, with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a WC. It is a few kilometres from the little village of Montopoli and belongs to the municipality of Pisa, halfway between Pisa and Florence. A narrow, gravel road (400 m) leads to the property. The house stands in a 1000 m2 garden.
Montopoli is a very quaint Tuscan village with a few cafés and local shops. Nearby, the larger town of Pontedera offers a train station, supermarkets, shops, gas stations, pharmacies, a hospital, post offices, restaurants, cafés, and movie theatres. Close to this Tuscan villa are several cities ideal for daytrips: Pisa, Lucca, Florence (convenient by train from Pontedera), San Gimignano and Volterra.
Neat lawns surround the early 19th century farmhouse. The simple exterior hides pleasantly furnished rooms - a typical Italian understatement! Although the house is equipped with all modern conveniences, it still retains its original, simple character. Many typical details have been maintained: a broad archway and smaller, pointed arch in the large hall on the ground floor; a rustic fireplace in the spacious dining room; antique beams and terracotta floors which are characterized by charming unevenness in some rooms.
The warm colors of wood and terracotta blend well with the fresh paint on the walls. The modern kitchen is fully equipped and just as attractive as the other rooms. In the bathrooms once again great care has been taken in the choice of furniture. (There is also a third WC in the utility room). The four bedrooms offer outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. The various family-owned antiques add to the comfortable, classical atmosphere of the house.
The lawn is well cared for and there are several shady trees, as well as garden furniture for sitting or lying outside. A gardener service is provided every day. Enjoy a wonderful panoramic view over the surrounding fields and woodland, undisturbed peace and absolute privacy. Great access to cities of art, the coast and the thermal baths.
