Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside near the village of Montefoscoli, in Palaia, Italy, Villa Iole is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends centuries of history with refined modern comfort. This elegant country house dates back to the early 16th century and was originally part of the Montefoscoli Farm, a property once owned by the celebrated composer Ruggero Leoncavallo in the 19th century. Over the following centuries, Villa Iole passed through the hands of several noble families from Pisa and Florence before being acquired by the Orazzini wine producers. Completely renovated while preserving its historic character, the villa features original terracotta floors and traditional architectural details alongside contemporary, designer furnishings in a harmonious blend of neutral and vibrant tones. Spanning approximately 450 square meters across 2 floors and divided into 4 independent housing units, the property is ideally suited for couples, families, and groups of friends seeking both privacy and conviviality. The estate extends across a plot of approximately 20,000 square meters, featuring a generous private yard of around 5,000 square meters of natural lawn, a small forest, and an olive grove. A gravel driveway lined with cypress trees leads gracefully to the villa and its dedicated parking area. Guests benefit from complimentary Wi-Fi internet access throughout the property, making it as practical as it is beautiful. Villa Iole is also available for private events and weddings, accommodating up to 60 people in its elegant, well-maintained spaces.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Iole are as thoughtfully appointed as the interiors, offering a variety of areas designed for relaxation and al fresco living. Adjacent to the main house, a tiled terrace is equipped with a comfortable living area, a built-in barbecue, and a generous outdoor dining space, all enlivened by the fragrance of aromatic plants. The private garden, covering approximately 5,000 square meters, features expansive areas of natural lawn, a small forest, and an olive grove, creating a tranquil and picturesque setting. At the far end of the garden, the swimming pool occupies a prime position, easily accessible along the lawn. The non-heated pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 14 by 7 meters with a uniform depth of 1.50 meters. It is finished in natural stone, equipped with a Roman-style access staircase and internal lighting, and maintained through a combined chlorine and salt purification system. The surrounding solarium area is paved in gray natural stone and furnished with sun loungers and umbrellas. 2 gazebos with seating areas and tables are set within the lawn, and a cold water outdoor shower is available for guests' convenience. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Please be aware that photographic documentation of the property is typically captured during spring, meaning the colors and blooms of the gardens and lawns may vary depending on the time of your visit.
Unit Layout
Villa Iole accommodates a maximum of 20 guests across its 4 independent housing units, offering a total of 10 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms distributed over 2 floors. Each unit benefits from its own private access, ensuring a comfortable balance between shared conviviality and individual privacy.
Unit 1, located on the ground floor, comprises a living room with kitchen, 1 double bedroom, 1 twin bedroom, and 1 bathroom with shower, which is fully adapted for guests with disabilities.
