Pieve di San Giovanni
A villa immersed in the picturesque landscape of Tuscany, where history and luxury meet in a timeless place in the uncontaminated surroundings of Lustignano, in the province of Pisa.
The Pieve di San Giovanni is located in a strategic position:
- just 45 minutes from Volterra
- 1 hour and 30 minutes from San Gimignano
- 40 minutes from Bolgheri with its wonderful vineyards
- 45 minutes from the splendid sea of Follonica (Grosseto)
- 50 minutes from the wonderful beach of Cala Violina
- 50 minutes from Piombino
- 1 hour and 30 minutes from Forte dei Marmi
In this area of the upper Cecina Valley, on the border between the provinces of Pisa and Grosseto, some panoramas can still appear surreal reminiscences of a lunar scenario.
Smoke rising from the ground, white boiling steam, fumaroles, lagoons and geysers. We are in the so-called Devil’s Valley, a geothermal epicenter where, for over a century, natural steam has been channeled to generate electricity and heat water, such as in our swimming pool.
A place considered so disturbing and inhospitable in ancient times that Dante Alighieri (legend has it that he was inspired by these places to describe Hell) described it in his Rime Petrose:
Versan le vene le fummifere acque
per li vapor’ che la terra ha nel ventre,
che d’abisso li tira suso in alto;
The Villa, surrounded by a flat park, offers panoramic views of an area of enchanting beauty from within a 40-hectare property.
This property includes hiking and mountain biking trails that wind through the forest.
In the garden, the vibrant vegetation is a triumph of colors, with roses and lavender bushes, lemon and cherry trees, tall cypress trees and numerous olive trees scattered among the extensive grassy lawns.
The large patio surrounding the pool offers an ideal setting for moments of relaxation and ceremonies.
1 master bedroom
with a king size bed and a cast iron fireplace, served by an en suite bathroom with tub and shower.
1 executive suite and 4 bedrooms
The rooms are served by private bathrooms, one of which has a bathtub.
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms can be combined to create a family suite, thanks to a door in the hallway that separates them from the others.
The modern kitchen is fully equipped with all the appliances needed to impress even the most demanding chefs.
The beautiful infinity pool on the south side is located in a private area of the garden, on a slightly lowered terrace. Only 20 meters from the building, it can be reached via a staircase or a path across the lawn.
The villa boasts a luxurious SPA with thermal pool, complete with hydromassage, chromotherapy, and a counter-current swimming system.
The waters of our indoor pool are naturally warm thanks to geothermal energy, which comes from the depths of the Earth. It is the magma itself from the deepest layers that provides the heat.
The SPA is enriched by a fully equipped and functional gym for the care of physical well-being.
