A rare find in Tuscany – a new house in the heart of a charming hilltop village, only an hour from Pisa airport.
Set in an exclusive development of only 13 apartments in traditional Tuscan style with a shared swimming pool, our property boasts views across the valley to Volterra, and is only a few steps from all village amenities. Orciatico is a delightful Tuscan village with a café/bar which is the heart of village society, 2 grocery shops and a restaurant. You can buy fresh local produce at the weekly market in Lajatico, only 10 minutes away by car. Lajatico is the birthplace of the opera singer Andrea Bocelli, who hosts a concert each year in May at the spectacular Teatro del Silenzio, also only 10 minutes by car from our house.
The house has a spacious living room and a separate kitchen / dining room. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs, each with its own full ensuite shower room with shower, sink and WC.
The front bedroom has a double bed and opens onto a balcony with beautiful views. The rear bedroom has 2 single beds which can be made up as 2 singles or a double. There is a 3rd full shower room downstairs, also with shower, sink and WC, and a sofabed in the living room. For outdoor living, there is the front lawn which opens onto the communal courtyard, and the back terrace which is accessed from the kitchen, so you can follow the sun or shade throughout the day. There is no TV in the house, but we do have a radio cum iPod dock and speakers for you to play music from your own iPod or MP3 player, as well as a selection of board games. There is full gas central heating in all rooms. The kitchen is equipped with gas hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge and washing machine.
