Historic mill with private pool, a retreat in the heart of Tuscany | Villa in Volterra
3 Bedroom Villa in Volterra
The Le Gualchiere estate is an antique, renovated mill in the heart of Tuscany, in the Era Valley, 10 km from the center of the Etruscan city of Volterra. The historic cities of Florence, Siena, Lucca, and Pisa are only about an hour's drive away. Charming Tuscan towns await your discovery in the surrounding area. San Gimignano, the "City of Beautiful Towers," is just a 25-minute drive away. The historic building was completely renovated in 2024 and is equipped with all modern amenities, including air conditioning.
Once a working watermill, the building still tells its story through original stone walls, exposed wooden beams, and original details, making it perfect for a holiday with family or friends.
The estate is idyllically situated amidst unspoiled nature, surrounded by olive groves and expansive meadows. From the large terrace, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Monte Volterra with its distinctive pyramidal profile. In the evenings, you can see the lights of Volterra twinkling.
