Casa Francia

Palaia - Pisa and Valdera

12 6 6 Private Pool
Casa Francia is a large villa set in the green hills of the Valdera valley, in a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. With plenty of space both inside and out, it is ideal for extended families or groups of friends wishing to spend an unforgettable holiday together in Tuscany.

The historic village of Palaia, whose roots date back to the 4th century, is less than a five-minute drive away and offers a selection of shops and welcoming restaurants. In under 15 minutes you can reach the town of Peccioli, which provides a full range of amenities and has won awards for the way it blends medieval heritage with contemporary art. Volterra, famous for its Etruscan and medieval history, Pisa, Lucca, San Gimignano and the coastal town of Livorno are all within easy reach for day trips. The Renaissance city of Florence is only 68 kilometres away. Wine lovers will also enjoy the renowned Villa Saletta winery, just a ten-minute drive.

The villa is set in a countryside location with views across gentle hills overlooking a large valley. It features a terrace garden arranged over three levels. The first level is an expansive terrace extending from the villa, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Below this lies the chlorine-free infinity pool, and on the lowest level is a spa area featuring a sauna, comfortably furnished seating, and a hot tub.

The accommodation consists of the main villa and a converted barn that can host four guests. It features its own living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a small private garden with seating. Inside, the villa is decorated in elegant country-house style, combining terracotta floors, wooden beam ceilings, neutral tones and comfortable, stylish furniture. Carefully chosen details and fine fabrics complete the picture.

We had a lovely time at Casa Francis and were so grateful for all of the help that To Tuscany provided in the run up to our stay (i.e. booking a private chef, local tips etc). The villa is lovely and was perfect for what we wanted. The pool was a big hit as it was 38 degrees most days so we didn’t venture too far and didn’t feel the need to as everything we wanted was at the villa.I’d highly recommend the local restaurant Il Pettirosso which has a great range of local dishes and pizzas in the evening from a wood fired oven
