Positioned atop a hill in the heart of the celebrated Chianti Classico region, this beautifully restored farmhouse occupies a privileged vantage point overlooking a breathtaking landscape of olive groves, vineyards, and dense woodland. The property sits within the prestigious Castellare di Castellina estate, a well-established farm covering approximately 80 hectares and renowned for its production of extra virgin olive oil and some of the finest wines in Chianti.

The garden surrounding Villa delle Upupe adapts gracefully to the natural slope of the terrain, seamlessly merging with the vineyards, woods, and hills that form its picturesque boundaries. Lavender bushes, wild roses, jasmine, strawberry trees, aromatic herbs, and borders of rosemary frame the dry stone walls and short stone paths, creating a fragrant and visually stunning outdoor environment. A panoramic pergola positioned just outside the living room French windows provides an ideal setting for relaxing in the shade and enjoying the sweeping views of the Chianti hills, particularly at sunset. The rectangular swimming pool, which is non-heated, is located behind the villa on lower terracing and is reached by descending a few steps near the pergola.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Val di Cecina in Pomarance, Tuscany, Italy, the villa known as Cosciano offers an extraordinary vacation rental experience for those seeking privacy, relaxation, and absolute tranquillity in a setting of rare natural beauty. This magnificent stone farmhouse, dating back to the mid-19th century, has been lovingly preserved across 4 generations before being thoughtfully renovated in the 1990s into a refined summer residence, while retaining every hallmark of its authentic Tuscan character. The property stands within a vast estate of 1,200 hectares, where a lush wooded landscape stretches in every direction and a well-maintained yard of 500 square metres surrounds the villa with natural grass, fragrant herbs, and centuries-old trees. A row of cypresses lines the dirt drive leading to the partially covered parking area, which connects both to the main entrance and to a flight of stone steps ascending to the villa's front door, ensuring convenient and scenic arrival for all guests. Wireless internet Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, keeping guests connected while they enjoy the serenity of the Tuscan countryside. With its commanding view of the historic town of Volterra and its timeless architectural elegance, Cosciano stands as a truly exceptional retreat in the heart of Italy.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Cosciano are a seamless extension of the villa's warm and welcoming character, offering a variety of settings in which to enjoy the Tuscan landscape at every hour of the day. The garden, covered in natural grass and enriched by dense bushes and mature trees including holm oaks, oaks, olives, and myrtle, provides generous shade throughout the day, particularly in the area behind the villa, where comfortable wooden benches invite guests to sit, breathe in the fresh air, and simply unwind. Fragrant herbs such as rosemary and sage grow throughout the garden, adding a sensory dimension to every stroll and offering fresh ingredients to enhance your cooking. On the covered, terracotta-tiled patio adjacent to the dining room, a cosy outdoor dining area provides the perfect setting for alfresco meals, directly connected to the interior through a French window for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The non-heated swimming pool is situated in the garden area in front of the property, set at a slightly lower level than the villa and reached via a path across the lawn. Rectangular in shape with a stone border, it measures 18 x 6 metres with a depth ranging from 1.5 to 3 metres, and features salt purification, internal lighting, and Roman steps for easy access to the water. The surrounding solarium extends across 100 square metres of terracotta and 200 square metres of lawn bordering the woods, and is fully equipped with umbrellas and sunbeds for maximum comfort. Two changing rooms and a cold-water shower are also available within the pool area, which is framed by a rich vegetation of olive trees, holm oaks, and laurel. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.
