The Tuscan dream
Agenzia immobiliare Politi sas Empoli


Nestled in the heart of authentic Tuscany, a short distance from the vibrant cities of Livorno (15 km) and Pisa, and with convenient access to major roadways (SS 206, FI-PI-LI highway connection, Florence-Sea and Genoa-Livorno highways), stands a characteristic "Renaissance Villa Farmhouse" with timeless charm.

This unique property complex, with roots dating back to the 17th century and subsequent noble additions, offers an unparalleled living experience or investment opportunity. The main noble building spans two floors, culminating in a panoramic tower, and boasts a total area of 1200 square meters. Added to this is a captivating cellar carved into the tufa rock, with vaulted ceilings, winding beneath the splendid Italian garden and surrounding agricultural land of approximately 50,000 square meters, creating a scenic "L" shape with a lateral exit.

The garden, an oasis of greenery and tranquility, located on the hilltop, overlooks the rolling Tuscan countryside, offering enchanting views of the surrounding villages. The property also includes three farmhouses and barns, situated near one of the two entrances to the villa, providing additional space and potential. The main entrance to the villa is graced by an exclusive cypress-lined driveway, emphasizing its importance and privacy.

The strategic location of this property is not only synonymous with scenic beauty and tranquility but also with convenience. The Tyrrhenian coast, with its beaches and the sea breeze that caresses the estate, is only 15 km away. Renowned tourist destinations such as Castiglioncello, with its sophisticated charm and breathtaking cliffs, Castagneto Carducci, a historic and literary village, and Bolgheri, the vibrant heart of Super Tuscan wine production, can be reached in a short time.

For art and culture enthusiasts, the proximity to the famous Teatro del Silenzio in Lajatico, the stage for the moving performances of Maestro Andrea Bocelli, adds a touch of magic and exclusivity to this property.

Although the villa requires complete renovation, it retains its original architectural lines, offering the extraordinary opportunity to create a unique luxury residence, an exclusive resort, a refined assisted living facility (RSA), or other prestigious hospitality structures, making the most of the large spaces and the setting of incomparable beauty. Imagine transforming the old farmhouses into elegant guesthouses, the main building into a welcoming heart, and the cellar into a charming wine bar.

This is not just a property, but a piece of Tuscan history ready for a new, splendid future, blending the charm of the past with the infinite possibilities of the present.

Close your eyes and try to imagine:



In the morning, the warm sun would have crept through the damask curtains of the noble rooms, illuminating the frescoes that tell stories of a bygone era. The day of the lord and his family would have had a rhythm dictated by ancient rituals: breakfast with fragrant bread and seasonal fruit, perhaps enlivened by the first notes of a harpsichord from the salon. The ladies, in their sumptuous silk dresses, would have dedicated themselves to embroidery or reading a leather-bound volume, while the knights would have prepared for the hunt or to oversee the work in the fields.

Outside, the Italian garden would have been a triumph of green geometries and gushing fountains, a stage for contemplative walks and gallant encounters. The farm buildings would have vibrated with incessant activity: the rustling of the peasant women's clothes as they gathered the harvest, the mooing of oxen in the barns, the chatter of children playing among the ancient trees. The cellar carved into the tufa, cool and shady, would have stored the precious wines that graced the lavish dinners, illuminated by the flickering light of candles.

Today, while maintaining the intact charm of this historical narrative, we could imagine a "rebirth" of this estate. The old farmhouses, with skillful conservative restoration and the use of eco-compatible materials and cutting-edge technologies for energy efficiency, could be transformed into luxurious apartments for an exclusive resort. The large spaces of the main noble building, restored to their ancient splendor, could host reception halls, a gourmet restaurant with zero-kilometer products from the fertile surrounding countryside, or perhaps a SPA offering treatments inspired by the officinal herbs of the park.

And the evocative cellar? It could become a charming wine bar, where the best Tuscan wines can be tasted in a unique atmosphere, or perhaps host exclusive events. The Italian garden, with its timeless elegance, would be the ideal setting for outdoor events, dream weddings, or simply an oasis of peace for the resort's guests.

This "Renaissance Villa Farmhouse" is not just a property with a glorious history, but a blank canvas ready to welcome a new chapter, a perfect combination of the charm of the past and the opportunities of the future, with a constant focus on sustainability and well-being.


FAULLIA AND ITS GENTLE HILLS - A BIT OF HISTORY


The hills of Fauglia, gentle and sinuous like waves of verdant earth, tell a thousand-year-old story. Already in Etruscan and Roman times, these fertile lands were cultivated and inhabited, as evidenced by the archaeological finds scattered throughout the territory. The toponym "Fauglia" itself seems to derive from the name of a Roman family, the "Favii," underlining an ancient link with the civilization that shaped the peninsula.

In the Middle Ages, the territory was contested between the powerful cities of Pisa and Florence, given its strategic position. Castles and fortified villages dotted the hilltops, witnesses to an era of conflicts but also of agricultural and artisanal fervor. The "Renaissance Villa Farmhouse" we are discussing is part of this context of evolution, passing from a defensive outpost to a center of agricultural production and noble residence, enriched over the centuries with history and architectural beauty.

The landscape we admire today is the result of centuries of interaction between man and nature. Olive groves and vineyards alternate with oak forests and Mediterranean scrub, creating a mosaic of colors that changes with the seasons. The villages that dot the hills still retain an authentic charm today, with their narrow streets, stone houses, and ancient churches.


FAUGLIA AND ITS CLIMATE


Regarding the climate, Fauglia enjoys a typical temperate Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and sunny, mitigated by the sea breeze coming from the coast, making the days pleasant and the evenings cool. Average summer temperatures range between 25°C and 30°C (77°F and 86°F).

Winters are mild and humid, with temperatures rarely falling below freezing. Rainfall is concentrated mainly in the autumn and winter months, with an annual average of around 800-1000 mm (31-39 inches). Spring and autumn are seasons characterized by mild temperatures and often sunny days, ideal for fully enjoying the beauty of the landscape and outdoor activities. Summer is typically hot and humid like the rest of Tuscany, with a positive note given by the light refreshing evening breeze.

This combination of history, enchanting landscape, and favorable climate makes the hills of Fauglia an ideal place to live and invest, a corner of Tuscany where the quality of life is combined with cultural richness and natural beauty.
