The complex comprises 2 distinct buildings: a main villa and a nearby annex, both distinguished by an exceptionally high aesthetic standard, featuring period furniture, original artworks, precious carpets, fireplaces, and innovative design elements seamlessly integrated with home automation technology.

Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Ninfeo are nothing short of extraordinary, representing a true masterpiece of landscape design spread across multiple terraces and levels.

Paved pathways connect all areas of the estate, guiding you through a sparkling symphony of blossoms, vast areas of lawn, and a remarkable collection of tree species gathered from around the world.

The non-heated pool is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October and measures 7 by 14 metres, with a depth ranging from 90 cm to 2.50 metres. Entry into the water is via submerged steps, and a diving board is also available.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the heart of Tuscany, La Casa di Elsa is a beautifully restored vacation rental set in the medieval hilltop village of Santa Fiora, Italy. Dating back to the early 20th century, this charming property was originally a humble rural house, with animal stalls on the ground floor and peasants' quarters above. Following a skilful renovation completed in 2013, the house has been transformed into a refined and comfortable home that seamlessly blends its rich historical character with modern comforts. The original stone walls, exposed on the exterior and visible beneath the plaster in certain interior spaces, speak to the property's authentic past, while carefully restored pieces of furniture, including 2 old madie, traditional kitchen cupboards once used for kneading and storing bread, now serve as elegant and functional storage units. The lush garden, panoramic swimming pool, and the characteristic medieval town centre of Santa Fiora towering above complete a setting of rare beauty. Surrounded by green woods and set within a 4-hectare estate, the property offers a generous yard that provides both privacy and a deep connection with the natural landscape.

Lawns enlivened by colourful flower pots, mature trees typical of the Tuscan landscape, including chestnuts, oaks, cypresses, walnut, hazelnut, cherry, and apple trees, create a rich and varied natural setting full of interesting corners to discover. An outdoor seating area furnished with sofas and armchairs invites relaxation in the open air, while a panoramic terrace equipped with a brickwork barbecue offers the perfect spot for preparing and enjoying grilled meals in the company of family or friends. The woods and olive grove that border the garden form part of the wider 4-hectare estate, lending the property an exceptional sense of seclusion and tranquillity. From the main entrance, 2 charming paths wind through the woods alongside little streams, leading guests to the village centre in just a few minutes on foot. A few large steps cross the lawn along the 20 metres separating the house from the panoramic swimming pool, which is set on the lowest terrace of the garden and clearly visible from the rooms and patio. The non-heated pool measures 5 x 11 m with a constant depth of 1.40 m, is edged in stoneware tiles, lined in PVC, and features salt purification. Roman steps lead into the water, and the pool is equipped with both internal and external lighting. The surrounding solarium area extends over a level surface that is partly paved and mostly lawn, furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas, and served by a cold-water shower. The many trees throughout the garden create numerous areas of natural shade, particularly welcome during the warmest days of summer. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the appearance of flowering plants and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
Unit Layout
La Casa di Elsa is configured across 2 floors which, thanks to the sloping terrain, each benefit from direct access to the outside, welcoming up to a maximum of 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The main entrance on the first floor leads into a small hallway from which 3 double bedrooms open, all oriented to take full advantage of the surrounding views. 1 of these bedrooms features a private balcony, while another offers divisible beds for added flexibility. 1 bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with shower, and the remaining 2 bedrooms share a second bathroom, also with shower.

Distances and Attractions
Santa Fiora, considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, is just a short walk from La Casa di Elsa via the charming wooded paths that begin near the property's main entrance. The village is steeped in history, built around the remains of the ancient Aldobrandesque fortifications, of which the Clock Tower is adorned with ceramics by the Della Robbia family, with battlements dating back to the 19th century. Nearby, the Palazzo Sforza stands over the remains of the walls of the old castle, while the Church of Saints Flora and Lucilla houses the celebrated terracotta altarpieces of the Della Robbia Florentine workshop. The Peschiera, a tranquil mirror of clear water dedicated to trout breeding, forms a small and enchanting park immersed in silence, beside which stands the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, built above the sources of the river Fiora, visible through a glass floor. Exploring the village further along Via Carolina and through its various streets, you pass through the historic Jewish ghetto, whose appearance remains remarkably similar to what it would have been in the mid-16th century, culminating in the Piazza del Ghetto, the only square in Santa Fiora accessible from a single entrance. The Mercury Mine Museum is also open to visitors within the village. Beyond Santa Fiora, the wider region of Tuscany offers an extraordinary wealth of cultural and natural attractions. Etruscan towns rich in history, such as Montepulciano, Montalcino, and San Casciano di Bagni, are within easy reach, as are the great art cities of Tuscany.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the hills overlooking the renowned town of Viareggio, Villa Jasmine is an exceptional vacation rental set in the charming village of Bargecchia, in Massarosa, Italy. This classic Tuscan villa spans approximately 220 square metres across 2 floors and captivates guests from the moment of arrival with its breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Massaciuccoli and the Versilia coast. The property's essential architectural lines and luminous spaces have been thoughtfully designed to guarantee maximum comfort, while traditional Tuscan materials — including terracotta floors, stone, marble, and wooden beamed ceilings — are harmoniously combined with shabby chic furnishings to create a truly unique atmosphere. The villa benefits from a well-kept garden of approximately 1,500 square metres, completely fenced and ideal for relaxing outdoors in complete privacy. Wireless internet connection is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Villa Jasmine has been subjected to a check-up by a technical responsible to ensure consistency of the description, the accessories listed, and their present state of operation and maintenance, guaranteeing quality, cleanliness, and comfort to all guests.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Jasmine are among its most remarkable features, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty and refined comfort. The garden, extending over approximately 1,500 square metres on a hilly terrain, is mostly laid to lawn and enlivened by fruit and olive trees, colourful flowers, and traditional Tuscan herbs. Numerous panoramic areas are distributed throughout the garden, each offering breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding Versilian landscape. The outdoor dining area, furnished with a table, is positioned under a portico adjacent to the swimming pool and a traditional brick barbecue, creating an ideal setting for al fresco meals. The non-heated swimming pool is located on the same level as the ground floor of the villa, approximately 2 metres away, and offers a spectacular panoramic view of Viareggio and its blue sea. Rectangular in shape and measuring 3.5 x 7 metres with a constant depth of 1.15 metres, the pool is lined in sky-blue soft PVC and equipped with chlorine purification and large steps for easy water access. A terracotta-paved solarium area surrounds the pool and is furnished with sunbeds shaded by 2 umbrellas. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring; therefore, the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden's grass may differ at the time of your arrival.

Distances and Attractions
Villa Jasmine enjoys a privileged location on the hills above Viareggio, one of Tuscany's most celebrated seaside destinations, placing guests within easy reach of the golden beaches of the Versilia coast, just a few kilometres away. The area has long been a popular destination for both Italian and international travellers, drawn by its natural beauty, cultural heritage, and vibrant seaside atmosphere. Nearby Torre del Lago is a particularly notable attraction, renowned as the long-time residence and creative inspiration of the celebrated composer Giacomo Puccini, who spent extended periods there. The shimmering waters of Lake Massaciuccoli, visible directly from the villa, add a further dimension of natural splendour to the surrounding landscape. The village of Bargecchia, on the edge of which the villa is situated, provides a tranquil and authentic Tuscan setting while remaining conveniently close to the amenities, restaurants, and cultural offerings of the wider Versilia region.
