Renaissance Hunting Estate in Val d’Era

Set in the heart of Tuscany’s enchanting Val d’Era, near Peccioli, this majestic 17th-century hunting estate is a rare expression of heritage, privacy, and refined countryside living. Surrounded by 320 hectares of rolling hills, woodland, and olive groves, the villa rises elegantly from manicured lawns and a meticulously restored Renaissance garden.

Ideally positioned near the historic treasures of Volterra and San Gimignano, the estate offers a perfect balance of seclusion and cultural immersion. With 12 bedrooms, 15 bathrooms, and accommodation for up to 24 guests, this exceptional residence is designed for prestigious family gatherings, private celebrations, and sophisticated retreats where absolute privacy is guaranteed.

The villa extends across three floors and approximately 500 square meters, preserving its noble 17th-century architecture while incorporating modern comforts. Its white façade stands in striking contrast against the surrounding greenery, exuding timeless elegance.

Original features — terracotta floors, wooden beams, Florentine ceramics, and vaulted frescoed ceilings — harmonize with carefully curated renovations that enhance both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Every window frames a unique Tuscan vista, filling the interiors with natural light and a quiet sense of grandeur.

The estate includes two kitchens — one professional-grade and one traditional with original terracotta flooring and a historic fireplace — reflecting both modern culinary excellence and authentic rustic charm.
