Holiday apartments in Tuscany / Italy with special atmosphere
Our Agriturismo in Italy has four holiday apartments named after typical trees of Tuscany: Leccio, Ginepro, Cipresso and Quercia. In every holiday apartment, without renouncing all usual comforts, you immediately feel like back to medieval times. Indeed, the original terracotta vaulted ceilings on the ground floor unmistakably bear the signature of the late Middle Ages in Italy. A different vault construction technique was used in each room, which makes especially the large loft-like apartment Ginepro so particular. The ceiling on the upper floor holiday apartment is made of the traditional cotto-wood construction, typical for Tuscany. The walls, which are up to 1.5 m thick, convey a feeling of “home sweet home”. Moreover, they ensure a pleasant room-climate in both summer and winter. Each room is painted in a different colour. In fact, in earlier times, in Tuscany, lime paint was mixed with natural colour pigments such as Terre di Siena. This gives the walls the typical irregularity and cosiness.
Holiday apartment “Leccio”
Holiday apartments with amazing view
All apartments have four beds. An additional bed is provided on request. Each apartment has a dining area with a kitchenette and a bathroom with shower. They are 50 or 55 m² in size, with patio doors in Tuscan country style. We are particularly happy to have preserved the two original exterior doors in the Leccio apartment. Their wood is an authentic witness of the past centuries. The bathrooms, on the other hand, are new and functional, and some are wheelchair accessible. WiFi is available outside and in the dining room.
The holiday apartments on the ground floor lead directly to the garden and the infinity pool, which is just 15 m away. From there one overlooks the surrounding hills and the Etruscan city of Volterra. The apartment Quercia on the upper floor has its own external staircase. With its windows on three sides of the house, it is a highlight for panoramic romantics, especially at sunset. The wisteria pergola in front of the house is a popular place for our guests to relax. In particular in spring, when its light purple and white flowers spread a sweet smell. In summer, on the other hand, their shade keeps the holiday apartments pleasantly fresh.

Holiday apartment “Cipresso”
Antique country style of Tuscany
The holiday apartments are furnished with traditional Tuscan country house furniture. Antique lovers will appreciate the chestnut wardrobe in the Leccio apartment. Or the ancient bookshelf from the sacristy of the nearby church of Sant’ Ippolito. Who knows how many people kneeled devoutly on the kneeler in the Ginepro apartment? How many generations may have prepared meals at the Quercia apartment’s marble kitchen table? And again, the old desk from a Tuscan household and the beautiful secretary. The old kitchen appliances and agricultural utensils on display in the holiday apartments tell of rural life in Italy of past times. For example, the cork bowls, the pasta press, the wooden moulds for ricotta production and the sheep bells.
All of this is combined with modern style elements, such as the simple designer double bed in the Leccio apartment. Indeed, in each room you’ll find an own interpretation of the Tuscan country style. Last but not least, the mattresses are pleasantly medium hard.
