Tuscany, Pisa, Peccioli, Italy

In the countryside between Volterra and Lajatico, close to Peccioli  and very close to the first amenities, in a lovely natural and unspoiled setting we are pleased to offer this 5 bedroomed 5 bathroomed newly renovated Leopoldina villa sitting in over 1 acre of completely fenced land, with guesthouse, and swimming pool. The estate is easily accessible through a private gate and driveway that leads to the well-maintained garden. The main villa develops over two storeys plus a central panoramic attic, for a total of circa 350m2. On the ground floor the villa boasts wide and bright rooms and open spaces, a fantastic living-room with high ceilings, a huge fireplace, a large dining-room, a good size kitchen, a cloakroom and a bedroom with bathroom. Internal stairs lead to the first floor which comprises 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, a wide sitting-room and finally the central attic which has been converted into an elegant study or reading room where it is possible to admire breathtaking panoramic views. Close to the main villa there is a one bedroomed guesthouse which is perfect to welcome guests or family members and ensure them complete intimacy and privacy (the guesthouse can be extended and is currently registered as storage). All renovations have been done to an extremely high standard. To complete the estate, there is a well-kept garden of some 5000m2 (about 1.23 acres) with swimming pool and a parking area. This villa is currently rented out by the vendors and is registered as a holiday property, but is ideal for those ones who wish to buy something in the countryside, but at the same time to be close to the services and good roads. A real gem.

Casa Travella was founded in 1987 when Linda & Pietro Travella saw an opportunity to offer Italian property for sale. At this time there were very few companies that offered any property for sale in Italy. Now years later read some of their story.

The company is fronted by Linda Travella and Casa Travella started selling property on Lake Como, where Pietro was born and Linda has worked and lived. The company were able to offer advice on numerous properties and ongoing help with all aspects of the buying process. If a client wants to restore a property, then Casa Travella can source tradesmen and professionals in the area and help with every aspect of the transaction.

When the BBC were looking for someone to speak on BBC Breakfast News about European property Linda was chosen to appear live on the programme. Other TV and radio programmes followed including Radio 5 Live, and ‘I want that House’ with Mark Simpkins, where Linda appeared in 6 episodes, the last one being a live programme from Florida, where an Italian apartment was given away as a prize. Linda appeared for RTE, Irish TV and for Channel 4‘s ‘A Place in the Sun’, where she accompanied Amanda Lamb along the shores of Lake Como by boat, to show her some of the stunning villas, including the one owned by George Clooney.

The Casa Travella team are always pleased to help when clients want to buy or sell a property in Italy. The office is multilingual with English, Italian and Spanish being spoken.

Linda says: ‘I feel proud that we can offer property for sale in many areas of Italy and we are able to give clients independent and professional advice on areas and types of property to suit their budget and needs.’

The Casa Travella team look forward to helping you buy or sell your Italian home.
