Tuscany, Pisa, Pomarance, Italy

Spacious apartment on the first floor of a historic building in the centre of Pomarance, with terrace plus a garage of 28 sqm.

The flat is on a single level and comprises a spacious double living room, a kitchen, two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. The ceilings are high and vaulted, and the apartment feels airy and light.

Outside, the terrace has wonderful views across the countryside to Volterra, with ample space for relaxing and dining.

Below the property is a garage of 28 sqm, which is extremely useful in a town like Pomarance where town centre parking is at a premium.

The overall status of the systems is confirmed to be in good order, requiring only some work to refresh and modernise it. While the electricity is disconnected, it is fully functional and set to be reconnected upon the arrival of a new buyer, ensuring readiness for the incoming owner. The property also utilizes a geothermal heating system, which is highly economical and considered a "best practice" in environmental management.

Pomarance is one of Tuscany’s most fascinating "hidden gems." Located in the Pisa province, it sits at the crossroads of the Alta Val di Cecina and the Valdera, an area where classic, rolling Tuscan hills meet an untamed, dramatic landscape. Pomarance is famous worldwide as the capital of geothermal energy. For centuries, this region was known as the "Devil’s Valley" (Valle del Diavolo) due to its natural sulphur springs, geysers, and steaming vents rising from the earth. It is widely believed that these dramatic, steaming landscapes heavily inspired Dante Alighieri when he wrote the Inferno in his Divine Comedy. Today, this clean, renewable underground steam is harnessed to provide sustainable, incredibly low-cost heating and electricity to local homes.

The town of Pomarance itself is an ancient Etruscan and medieval village that still preserves its historic heart; walking through the town, you’ll find medieval defensive walls, historic gates, and elegant Renaissance palaces. At the same time, the town provides all modern amenities: supermarkets, restaurants, pharmacies, schools, and cozy cafes.

The surrounding territory is dotted with tiny, quiet medieval hilltop hamlets like San Dalmazio, Montegemoli (famous for its traditional bread), Libbiano, and Micciano. Unlike the more crowded, manicured parts of Tuscany, the area around Pomarance feels authentic and beautifully wild. It is bordered by the Monterufoli-Caselli Nature Reserve, a massive forest filled with Mediterranean vegetation, crystal-clear streams, and wildlife like deer and wild boar. A short drive away, the Masso delle Fanciulle is a spectacular swimming hole along the Cecina River, where locals and travellers go to swim in turquoise waters surrounded by deep canyon walls.
