VILLA BELSOLE

VILLA BELSOLE - IANO DI MONTAIONE

6 Bedrooms

Location and Surrounding Area
Immersed in the peaceful Tuscan countryside, this property is ideally located for exploring the region’s cultural highlights and natural wonders. With breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape, this exclusive six-bedroom villa offers the perfect base for memorable day trips to Tuscany’s most beautiful towns and provides a unique opportunity to admire the area’s splendid scenery while soaking up its rich historical and cultural heritage.

The villa is just a short distance from Volterra, one of Tuscany’s most dramatic hilltop towns. Despite its many attractions, Volterra attracts fewer tourists than other Tuscan towns, allowing you to explore its ancient sites and winding stone streets with fewer crowds. Founded by the Etruscans and surrounded by medieval walls, Volterra features a notable historic centre filled with fascinating Roman ruins, medieval buildings, and alabaster workshops.

A few kilometres from the villa lies San Gimignano, one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval towns. From a distance, San Gimignano resembles a scene from a Renaissance painting, with its circle of 13th-century walls enclosing tall, teetering stone towers. While its towers are iconic, the art treasures within the town’s walls are equally remarkable. Despite its small size, San Gimignano offers an abundance of art, architecture, and fine food to keep visitors engaged for more than one day.

In just an hour and a half, you can reach Pisa, renowned for its Leaning Tower. As you wander through its alleys and along its riversides, you’ll discover architectural gems such as Santa Maria della Spina, the Scuola Normale Superiore in Piazza dei Cavalieri, the exhibitions at Palazzo Blu, and the captivating Piazza dei Miracoli. Begin your exploration at the Baptistery and continue to the 130-metre Camposanto Monumentale overlooking the square.

Also within a few kilometres of the villa is the medieval town of Siena. With its ancient red brick buildings, the scallop-shaped Piazza del Campo, and the Cathedral Square dominated by the zebra-striped Duomo, Siena is a must-visit for anyone travelling to Tuscany. Celebrated as an open-air museum of Gothic architecture, Siena’s secular monuments have preserved their medieval forms and exceptional art collections, offering plenty to marvel at.

Villa Belsole is 55 km from Pisa Galileo Galilei International Airport, 84 km from Florence Amerigo Vespucci International Airport, 174 km from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, and 337 km from Rome Leonardo da Vinci International Airport.
