Tuscany, Pisa, Castellina Marittima, Italy

On the enchanting hills of the Etruscan Coast, in a panoramic location of rare beauty, we offer for sale a charming, 4-bedroomed 4-bathroomed completely detached country property, set in over 14 acres of private land, with a swimming pool, guest house, and spectacular 180-degree panoramic views encompassing the Tyrrhenian coast, the Mediterranean Sea, and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago including Elba and on a clear day Corsica, close to the town of Castellina Marittima. The main villa, approximately 225m2 in size, is spread over two levels and has been meticulously renovated by the current owner. The renovations were carried out respecting the original character of the home, preserving the charm of traditional Tuscan country homes and creating welcoming, functional, and pleasant spaces for living in all seasons. The main entrance is preceded by a large covered loggia, a particularly charming space that leads to the living area and provides a natural connection between the interior and the garden. The ground floor features a generous living area, divided into several spaces including a large living room, an additional relaxation room, a dining area, and a spacious eat-in kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with a SMEG gas stove, oven, refrigerator with freezer, and dishwasher. A pantry, additional utility rooms, and a guest bathroom complete the level. The layout of the spaces makes the ground floor particularly suitable for family life and hosting guests, offering the possibility of organizing pleasant social moments both inside and outside the home. Internal stairs lead to the upper floor, dedicated entirely to the sleeping quarters. Here, we find three bedrooms, including a master bedroom with access to its own panoramic terrace, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The other two bedrooms, a double and a twin, offer comfortable accommodation for family and guests which also includes a further bathroom. A short distance from the main villa is a charming 38m2 guesthouse, completely independent and with its own entrance. The space is arranged as a cozy studio apartment with a living area, fitted kitchenette, sleeping area, and private bathroom. The guesthouse can accommodate up to three people and is an ideal solution for hosting friends and family, ensuring independence and privacy. The presence of this second building adds an interesting added value, making the property particularly versatile. The villa is surrounded by approximately 6 hectares (about 14.8 acres) of private land, characterized by a gentle hilly landscape and a rich variety of typically Mediterranean vegetation. The grounds include an olive grove with approximately 200 olive trees, fruit trees, cypresses, pines, and figs, as well as pleasant wooded areas with holm oaks and other native vegetation. The extensive grounds create a charming natural setting, ensuring privacy and a direct connection with nature. Within the grounds, in a particularly panoramic position, lies the splendid private swimming pool, approximately 13 x 6 meters, surrounded by greenery and overlooking the surrounding landscape. The pool area is a true haven of relaxation, where you can spend pleasant summer days immersed in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside. The property also features a large private parking area. The property is located some 2km from Castellina Marittima easily reached by car, whilst the Tyrrhenian coast, with the beaches of Cecina Mare, pine forests, marinas, and numerous restaurants, can be reached in about 20 minutes. This is an exclusive property in the heart of Tuscany with ample land and an extraordinarily beautiful sea view. The combination of the renovated villa, the independent guesthouse, the panoramic pool, and the 6 hectares of land make the property ideal both as a primary residence and as a prestigious second home for extended vacations. 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.
