Photos and Description of this Collesalvetti holiday farmhouse Charming villa, divisible into two independent self-catering apartments.

Located at the top of a hill just outside the village of Castell'Anselmo, the house enjoys beautiful views which extend from Pisa and the Apuane alps to the hills surrounding Leghorn and the sea beyond. The villa can be divided into 2 fully independant, self-catering apartments: the 6/8 bed I Gelsi and the 4 bed I Cipressi, both carefully furnished and fully accessorized. Air conditioning can be provided in the bedrooms. In the garden, a 16-metre swimming pool offers pleasant refreshment in the hotter months of the year. La Casetta’s proximity to numerous places of natural and cultural interest as well as sporting facilities make it the ideal place for a holiday. Numerous golf courses, can be easily reached. Pisa, Lucca, Florence and Volterra are less than 50 mins

Tuscany is famous for both its natural and its artistic heritage. Many places of artistic interest can be easily reached from Castell’Anselmo. Livorno is a charming seaside town, founded by the Medici family and still dotted with fosses and fortresses dating back to those times. The town also has a large number of Liberty style villas. Lovers of the Macchiaioli school should not miss the Fattori Museum where many works by Macchiaioli painters are displayed. Pisa with its leading tower is only a 20 minute drive; Lucca can be reached in 40 minutes; both Volterra and Florence lie approximately 50 minutes from the farmhouse. Numerous sporting activities, from hang-gliding (on the farm) to riding, golf and trekking are available nearby. The sea is just behind the hills, Calafuria, Castiglioncello and Quercianella lie 20 minutes away from the farm, it takes 45 minutes to get to Forte dei Marmi.

Unwinding in the Tuscan hills

Delighted in Tuscany Co. KIldare
Review Submitted: June 18, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
We stayed at I Gelsi for eleven nights with our family of three children. It is a stunning house, classically furnished, extremely comfortable and with its own quiet, relaxed rhythm. We loved the sounds of the surrounding countryside, the children adored the lovely pool, and the wonderfully hospitable family were on hand at all times to help (in perfect English!) with all our enquiries. Federica's suggestion of a typical Tuscan restaurant at Coltano and Il Fattoria at Laura were top scorers with us. The house's location made for easy access to Florence, Lucca and of course, the marvellous Tower of Pisa, which is a must. I Gelsi is obviously a home rather than just a house. We would like to have stayed longer, but we came home completely relaxed - is there any higher recommendation? Thank you Federica, Sabrina and Mama!
Owner's Response: Dear Padraic,

it was a real pleasure for us to have you and your family at I Gelsi and I'm happy you could enjoy the house and the area!!

Many thanks,

Federica

A wonderful holiday villa

Joe and Louise Den Haag, The Netherlands
Review Submitted: September 4, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Our family had a thoroughly relaxing holiday in this Villa (I Gelsi). The home is thoughtfully and beautifully furnished and provides any visitor the opportunity to just relax on the property.

The owners are careful to ensure that your needs are met and are attentive to any queries or issues that might arise.

The Villa also provides privacy and solitude, but is not too far from neighbouring cities of Livorno and Pisa. The closest town and supermarket is only 10 minutes by car.

Our only regret is that we did not spend a longer period of time in this idyllic location. We plan to return for a longer period of time in the future.
