By designing it down to the smallest detail, we tried to integrate it into the landscape. This was done really well: the first part of the pool, with shallow water, gives the impression of a sandy beach, then the water slowly becomes deeper, allowing you to swim in the 'sea' towards the horizon.The 10-person whirlpool is part of the pool; thanks to its shallow water, both children and adults can enjoy themselves.Near the pool there is also a furnished gazebo where one can enjoy the tranquillity of the place. Tropical parasols and deck chairs create the perfect ambience.You can buy our own wine and oil directly on the farm.During your stay at the villa we can organise dinners with Tuscan cuisine, birthday parties, cooking classes for adults and children, pizza parties with our chefieren.The position of the villa is strategicIn a few minutes by car you can reach the village with all the basic services and in a few minutes you can reach the beach.
