Historic villa in the heart of Tuscany. Surrounded by nature.

Surrounded by nature as far as the eye can see, the beautiful Villa S.Ippolito (built in early 1800), with garden and a big swimming pool, has an authentic charme. The historic value of the house and its total privacy make this location a unique place to spend an unforgettable holiday.
The property (more than 6000 sq.Feet) develops in 2 levels. Ground floor: a big kitchen with fireplace, a storage room, a big dining room and three living rooms. Second Floor: on the right side there are 7 rooms with private bathroom; on the right side a living room (with frescos) and other 2 rooms who share a bigger bathroom. Total: 20 sleeping places (we can also provide extra baby beds).
Outside there is a garden - easy accessible by the kitchen - with a big table to eat outside, a terrace (with shade and a table tennis) and on the other side of the house a big old tree with another table. The swimming pool is 17x7 meters + a little pool for kids, fully equipped with sun and shade areas.
The entire property will be just for you: no neighbors, noises, etc… only privacy and relax; perfect for kids. The view from the swimming pool is astonishing, because it faces the natural reserve of Monterufoli, with hiking and hiking paths.
The Bicocchi family (owners of this house for 6 generations) will be there to welcome you and give you all the infos and tips about the area. There is also the possibility on request to have two ladies from the village nearby who can come and cook for you a traditional and tasty dinner with local products. In our land there is also a vegetable garden and the man in charge of it will provide you daily with fresh vegetables grown there.
In the area there are also thermal sources, the possibility to do ebike tours, a tennis court and many other outdoors activities. You will be surrounded by art and culture everywhere: the ancient cities of Tuscany (Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, Florence…) are all within 40 minutes to 1.30 hour by car; the seaside - beautiful beach of Baratti - is 50 minutes far. The little villages nearby, where you can go shopping, enjoy a nice walk, eat at very good restaurants, still have the authentic flavor of Tuscany, because this area is still not very touristic.
At S.Ippolito - owned by our family since 1800 - we produce olive oil and in the area you can find very good wine and excellent food.

80 th birthday
Everything was beyond fabulous! The house and surrounding grounds were charming and there were numerous areas to gather in smaller or larger groups. The pool was a big hit and the views were exquisite! We visited surrounding hill towns, both famous and those little known and were never disappointed. Everyone in our group, from ages 83-12 had a wonderful experience. We hired 2 women from the local area to cook for us, and they produced two gourmet Italian meals for the 21 of us. Both Roberto ( caretaker) and Thomaso responded immediately to any requests or needs. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 50! Far exceeded expectations!

Back again for a 2nd visit!
After a lovely stay in 2019 we had originally booked to return in 2020, unfortunately Covid had other plans. We were so excited to arrive Aug 2022 and are so glad we did. This place is stunning. The photos or reviews do not do it justice! Thank you for letting us have another magical holiday in your beautiful home. 100%+ recommend.

Wonderful holiday
As a large family party of 16 including 8 grandchildren aged between 2 and 13 we needed a spacious holiday let with a good sized pool located away from the house enabling us to have a safe relaxing stay. Our expectations were met in every way , the house and pool were spotless , the furnishings were functional deterring any stress that may have been forthcoming from a toddlers reach and overall apart from roasting in the abnormal heat it was just a wonderful stay. We booked La Dispensa for lunch , the service there , quality of food and location was top notch. All in all a great holiday.

Fin herrgård med fantastisk utsikt
Fantastisk herrgård med enorma ytor. Vi var som mest 17 personer. Vi bokade de 2 lokala damerna för att laga middag vi två tillfällen. Mycket gott och prisvärt. Härlig yta vid den stora poolen. Även trevligt att få olika grönsaker samt besöka husets stora köksträdgård. Köket är jättestort och alla rum har nyrenoverade badrum. Helt underbart ställe. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka.

A week in Tuscany
We were 3 generations(14 people) and thoroughly enjoyed our week as Clemente’s guest at his family’s historic farm. The setting is rural, away from the more touristy areas but we could travel around an hour to visit cities like Siena and Volterra. The fabulous meal prepared by the local ladies was a highlight as was the fresh produce provided daily from the garden. Clemente made us feel welcome and comfortable and was the perfect host.

Two weeks in Tuscany
A lovely country Tuscan farmhouse which in its hey day must have been amazing. Painted ceilings, ornate decorations, magnificent rooms. Obviously still a much loved and treasured family home. There were 17 of us, 10 adults and 7 children with a total age range of 3-72. This was our first family get together as 6 live in Australia. Tomaso emailed with loads of info. We had two meals cooked by local grandmothers, absolutely first class, so much delicious food! The pool area was much used, the weather very good. The showers in some of the rooms ran a bit hot and cold depending on the numbers using. Our only real bug bear was the tiny two slice toaster, but you could of course use the grill in the oven. We loved eating the produce Roberto brought us from the garden. All our grandchildren said it was the best holiday.
