Leccio 14
Elegant Tuscan Villa for 14 with AC and Pool : Palaia, near Pisa
Nestled amidst rolling vineyards and olive groves in the hills around Palaia (province of Pisa), Leccio is a wonderfully restored Tuscan farmhouse.
The villa accommodates up to 14 guests across 8 elegantly furnished bedrooms (with 7 bathrooms) arranged in the main house and a separate annex (“Limonaia”) for additional privacy. Inside, traditional features such as terracotta floors, high beamed ceilings, and soft Tuscan-hued walls combine with top-tier amenities: a fully equipped modern kitchen, living/dining spaces that flow to outdoor terraces, air conditioning and heating throughout, WiFi, Bose music system and more.
Outside, the villa offers landscaped gardens, a private swimming pool and shaded seating area, all set in a secluded hillside position with panoramic views. With the estate’s vineyards and olive groves forming the backdrop, the setting is tranquil yet accessible: the historic towns of Pisa, Volterra and Florence are within easy reach for day trips.
Guests staying here not only enjoy stylish comfort, but also the essence of Tuscan countryside living - from lazy lunches on the terrace, to exploring forest trails or sampling wine and olive oil produced on-site. The combination of heritage character and subtle luxury makes this property ideal for families or groups seeking a refined, peaceful base in Tuscany’s heartland.
Extra services such as catering, cookery courses, wine tours and guided bicycle tours are all easily arranged, and the surrounding area has good Golf courses, horse riding stables and Spas.

Accommodation
The villa sits just above a vineyard belonging to the estate, just south of its private pool.
Upon entering the house one immediately sees, on the left, the vast arched living room with its sofas and an enormous fireplace. On the right, you will find a large kitchen and dining room. On the ground floor, there is a large double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.
Just outside the front of the house is an annexe, an ex "limonaia" once used to carefully store precious lemon trees over winter. Today it has been transformed into a spacious ground-floor double bedroom for older parents or a couple with small children.
The remaining 6 bedrooms are upstairs: two en-suites doubles with king-sized beds, 2 single bedrooms which share a bathroom (shower only), and two doubles that share a bathroom. One of the doubles has a queen-sized bed, while the other has a king.

Around Leccio
The villa is well-placed to reach all the most famous tourist sights of Tuscany, with San Gimignano 40 minutes away, Florence and Lucca just over an hour, Pisa barely 30 minutes and Siena around an hour and twenty minutes.
More locally, the hills that surround Leccio are dotted with hill towns, churches and ancient sites - starting with the little village of Palaia with its circular castle at its heart - or a strange temple to 'Minerva Medica' hidden in a nearby forest. For those who love exploring on foot, the area is criss-crossed with footpaths and old, unpaved tracks, often leading to excellent wineries or old castles.

Worth Knowing
