About this property
Romantic Villa with private pool - Il Pollaio
Welcome to Il Pollaio, a traditional Tuscan stone house surrounded by nature in the countryside near Volterra and San Gimignano.
The house has been restored over the years while preserving its simple, authentic character. Terracotta floors, wooden beams, old family pieces and vintage finds give Il Pollaio a warm and personal atmosphere.
There are three double bedrooms and three bathrooms, a spacious living area and a fully equipped kitchen.
Outside, the house is surrounded by a private garden with mature trees and Mediterranean herbs. There is a private swimming pool, a shaded terrace for outdoor meals, a BBQ, a hammock and a small children’s playhouse. With different areas around the house and garden, everyone can find their own space to read, relax or simply enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Il Pollaio is immersed in nature, away from traffic and the noise of the city, yet ideally placed for exploring this part of Tuscany. Volterra and San Gimignano are within easy reach, while Siena, Florence, wineries, small villages and the surrounding countryside offer plenty to discover.
Private parking is available at the property.

Il Pollaio is a beautifully renovated villa with old world charm combined with all the modern conveniences. A beautiful place located just outside Volterra, and a PERFECT location for day trips throughout Tuscany. Silvia and staff were gracious hosts who communicated beautifully with us befire, during and after our stay. We absolutely loved it and hope to return one day!
We enjoyed our stay, everything was perfect. The house was perfect for a family of three generations. We had a lot of fun in the pool and the garden and we can recommend it for an amazing holiday.
The house and pool was as described. The house everything that’s needed. The pool is in good shape and well maintained. The location is good to reach all important highlights within Tuscany. We enjoyed our stay very much.
We had a great time at Il Pollaio. Its a beautyfull house with a great pool. The house is complete and has full equipment. There is a great terrace with BBQ. Also the communication with the owner and het care was great.
Thanks Silvia!
Our family of four (my husband and I and our two teenagers) had an absolutely wonderful time at Il Pollaio. The beauty of the villa is even better than the photos you see--a total gem! And you have everything you need in the house. Very well-stocked kitchen. Super clean. You can tell how much love and detail went into everything there. We spent many afternoons in the amazing pool. During the day we explored so many areas around the villa. Also, Silvia and the property management team were super responsive and so easy to work with. You don't come across properties and owners this awesome very often. Highly reccommend!
A Perfect Tuscan Getaway – Authentic, Peaceful, and Simply Stunning
We spent a week at this incredible house in Tuscany with a group of friends, and it was truly amazing. The property is beautifully secluded, which meant we could fully relax, enjoy ourselves, and not worry about being too loud.The house itself is absolutely stunning—super detailed interior that perfectly captures the Italian lifestyle. It felt authentic, cozy, and luxurious all at once.The kitchen was very well equipped, making it easy and fun to cook big meals together. There was more than enough space for everyone, and the layout gave everyone a good balance of privacy and social areas.The outdoor spaces were the highlight: a large terrace perfect for dining and lounging, a beautiful pool we used every day, and a grill that made for unforgettable dinners. The weather was perfect all week, and the peaceful surroundings made it feel like our own little paradise.Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a truly authentic and relaxing Italian experience with friends or family. We’d come back in a heartbeat!
This is lovely rustic villa set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. The host Sylvia was super helpful and lovely, one of the best we have come across and nothing was too much trouble. The house is spacious and well equipped with everything you need for a family vacation, and having the pool during the recent summer heat was simply fantastic after a day of exploring. The house is remote and private on a short unsealed road but just a 10 minute drive in to Volterra where there are plenty of cafes and supermarkets. A little further the other way is Colle di Val d’Elsa so self catering was easy. Highly recommend the property for an authentic Tuscan experience. 5 stars all the way!
Keine Angst vor dem Schotterweg zum Haus, der Weg lohnt sich und es wartet ein kleines Paradies. Küche ist toll ausgestattet und alles ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Silvia und ihr Team sind super aufmerksam und reagieren sehr schnell auf Fragen.
Et fantastisk hus i et dejligt område.
Store værelser, stort køkken (med alt hvad man behøver) hyggelig stue med stor spiseplads, terrasse med stort spisebord og velfungerende gasgrill.
Stor swimmingpool i lukket og ugenert have.
God service fra den lokale Benyamin og udlejer Silvia.
Eneste negative var en noget lang (2 km) tur på en hullet grusvej op til huset, vil anbefale at man lejer en SUV.
