Description
Located in close proximity to the cultural treasures of Pisa, Lucca, and Florence, with easy access to the timeless allure of Volterra and San Gimignano, as well as the sun-kissed beaches of Versilia, this sanctuary embodies the essence of Tuscan living at its finest.
As you step through the threshold of this meticulously restored villa, you are transported to a realm where time stands still, and every corner whispers tales of generations past. The essence of heritage permeates the air, harmonizing effortlessly with the whispers of the sur-rounding olive groves and vineyards.
The heartbeat of the estate lies within the lemon house, transformed into a grand living and dining sanctuary. Here, sunlight dances through magnificent French windows, casting a golden glow upon the modern furnishings and inviting spaces. From this vantage point, a panoramic vista unfolds, revealing the serene beauty of the private pool area and the lush embrace of the ancient woods beyond.
The pool itself is a symphony of luxury and serenity, stretching majestically with dimensions of 18 meters by 5 meters. Adorned with sumptuous furnishings and framed by the timeless presence of century-old oak trees, it stands as a testament to the harmonious marriage of nature and refinement.
While the allure of the past is ever-present, the villa spares no expense in providing modern indulgences. Air conditioning whispers a cool breeze on warm Tuscan afternoons, while seamless WiFi connectivity ensures that the world is always within reach, should you choose to partake.
In this haven of tranquillity and elegance, time slows its relentless march, inviting you to savour every moment, every sensation. Whether lounging by the poolside, exploring the storied landscapes of Tuscany, or simply revelling in the warmth of familial bonds, the luxury farmhouse of Orentano offers a sanctuary for the soul, where memories are crafted and cherished for generations to come.
This region of Tuscany offers countless opportunities to experience the long and diverse local history, starting from he bespoke Lucca, with the best preserved Amphitheatre in the Roman world, to Pisa, San Miniato and Montecatini Terme all between a 20 to a 30 mins drive away. Florence, San Gimignano, and Cinque Terre -five mirage-like villages built on a series of shores, also makes a fabulous historical site to visit during your stay- are all approx. a 1 hour drive away. Pistoia, Volterra, Siena, Bolgheri, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi, Garfagnana, Valdinievole and the Versilia Coast are all in an endless distance.

A message directly from the owner to describe her experience and testament to future visitors:
This house embodies the history of a farming family that has cultivated and cherished their land with respect for nature and its cycles. Surrounded by hectares of woodland and arable fields, it represents an invaluable heritage. Generations who have lived here, from my grandparents to my father and his brothers, along with their sharecropping families, have drawn sustenance from its fertile lands. During the Second World War, this estate stood as an example of harmony and solidarity, surviving through a coexistence of obligations, rights, and duties, while keeping traditions alive even in the most difficult times.
"Barghini" is not just the name of the street where Villa del Nonno stands; it also represents the connection with my father's uncle, the local "Lord" of the village who allowed my grandfather and his family to live in this house, expressing the desire that it be cared for and passed down to his favourite nephew, my father Cesare, the grandfather of my children. It is here, in this countryside, that I learned from my grandfather and father to recognize the sounds of birds, identify forest mushrooms, tend to fruit trees, and appreciate the serenity and beauty of sunsets.
This house has also taught my children, through their grandfather, to love rural life in all seasons, to enjoy the simplicity of ingredients, and to experiment with recipes passed down by their grandmother. My grandmother, a strong and tenacious woman, managed the farm activities and sold products along the road, while my grandfather, more contemplative, dedicated his time to the plants that now flourish in the garden.
All those family memories and feelings they are what I wish for my guests to experience and appreciate during their stay at Villa del Nonno: the tranquillity of the countryside, the value of nature and its traditions, the taste of extra virgin olive oil, and the exquisite products that Tuscany offers and cannot be found elsewhere.
Hosting parties, events, or groups of young people is not permitted.

Insane villa

The stay was incredible, Sara and Fillipo were very welcoming, the villa has a lot of charm, it has no neighbors and is therefore very quiet. The garden is maintained to perfection. One of the most beautiful properties I've ever rented!

Our stay at Villa Del Nonno was nothing short of spectacular! From the moment we arrived, we knew we were in for a memorable experience. The villa itself is beautiful home that blends traditional Tuscan elegance with modern comfort, making it perfect for a family getaway.
The location is truly unbeatable. Nestled in the picturesque Tuscan countryside, the villa offers a serene atmosphere that is both relaxing and invigorating. Whether we were lounging by the private pool, exploring the lush gardens, or enjoying meals on the spacious covered veranda, every moment felt like a slice of paradise. One of the highlights of our trip was the exceptional recommendations from our host, Sarah. Her warmth and attentiveness made us feel right at home, and her tips led us to some amazing day trips. Our favorite excursions included exploring the quaint nearby village of Montecarlo (15 min), San Gimignano (1 hr) Lucca (20 min), and a beach day at Forte dei Marmi (45 min). The villa itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated, offering plenty of room for our family to spread out and relax. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing us to prepare meals with ease, while the cozy living areas provided a perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring. Villa Del Nonno exceeded all our expectations. It is an ideal choice for families seeking a peaceful retreat in one of the most beautiful regions of Italy. |

Loved Sara s Villa. It’s spacious, very well equipped and beautifully furnished, has an extensive, well kept garden and a lovely large pool. Super outlook from the 1st floor front.
Appreciated the fizz and tastey snacks provided on arrival. We are a family of 6 adults and two young children, a nice surprise was the table tennis and table football, which we were’t expecting. Loved the ‘outside’ dining area and the hammock. Easy drive to supermarket, restaurants and to Lucca and Pisa. Thank you for a wonderful stay. |

Villa del Nonno is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures! The property is new and well equipped with everything that a group of friends/family might need. The house is in the middle of the Tuscany countryside and the outdoor area was pretty. The house is extremely private and the view is awesome! The rooms are fully furnished and it is evident that there was a lot of attention to every tiny detail. Moreover, the house was super clean and the host was available to answer our requests and questions.Highly Reccomend

This is a quite lovely place. Beautifully decorated with everything you need. The owner Sara is very nice and she is always reliable. The pool is huge and the shaded area with really comfortable sofa and armchairs is perfect for whiling away the afternoons. I am very fussy but I honestly couldn't fault it.
