At Villa Beltramonto, suspended in the authentic heart of the Val di Cecina and set on a hill 374 m above sea level, absolute protagonist is the natural scenery that surrounds it, a landscape interwoven with sinuous waves that chase each other up to the edge of the Apuan Alps: declined in the thousand shades of its unmistakable colours, they paint an enchanted background for the wonderful historic borghi located there and which, at dusk, illuminate the horizon. The excellent restoration of this farmhouse has not altered its typicality but has artfully enriched and accessorised it to guarantee guests the best of hospitality in an exquisitely Tuscan style. The exposed stone, the ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, the panoramic air-conditioned bedrooms, each with private bathroom, the welcoming veranda: these are the key elements that characterise this imposing structure in which the large common area on the ground floor, with professional kitchen and vast living room with large windows, opens directly to the outdoor living areas. The house is surrounded by a luxuriant garden, a natural terrace cloaked in the silver of a grove of olive trees and embellished by both the panoramic pool area, that will captivate guests with its magical sunsets, and the charming gazebo, set up with an elegant dining area and sofas. Villa Beltramonto represents the ideal location to appreciate privacy and tranquillity without having to renounce the amenities located in the immediate vicinity; it is in fact located on the edge of the borgo of Pomarance, about 700 m from shops, restaurants and cafรฉs and within walking distance. We are surrounded by the unmistakable scenery of the Val di Cecina, land of ancient borghi (Pomarance, Volterra, Montecatini Val di Cecina) and of numerous oases and nature reserves, such as those of Berignone and Monterufoli that brush against the immediate surroundings. The property is part of an organic farm estate that produces extra virgin olive oil and quality wine that can be tasted directly in the villa upon request.
Interior:
Villa Beltramonto has two floors connected by an internal staircase. The main entrance leads into the living room with seating area and dining area. This room is connected to the large kitchen and to a guest bathroom. A few steps from the living room lead up to the charming veranda with an elegant sitting room which leads into a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom with shower. Also on the ground floor, but with independent access located on the side of the house, is an apartment (not connected internally) consisting of a living room with kitchen, a double bedroom (with divisible bed) and ensuite bathroom with shower. On the first floor is the rest of the sleeping area with five double bedrooms (one with divisible bed) with private bathroom with shower. In an annex facing the veranda is the laundry room.
Park:
The park surrounding the house extends for about 5000 sq m over hilly terrain with two terraces, with the upper one occupied by the swimming pool area, sealed at the bottom by a thick patch of woodland. The garden includes lawn areas and a multitude of plants, bushes of herbs and olive trees that create the ideal setting for enjoying the open landscapes seen on each side. Set in this colourful and secluded spot are the gazebo with outdoor dining area, the outdoor kitchen with sink, barbecue and wood oven and a ping pong table. The vine-covered pergolas, right outside the living areas, are equipped with tables for outdoor dining. The covered parking area is located at the end of the elegant driveway bordered by imposing cypress trees.Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
Swimming Pool:
The splendid, south-facing swimming pool lies on the upper terrace of the garden on an open panoramic viewpoint. About 40 m from the house, it can be reached via a flight of steps. The rectangular pool, measuring 5 x 8 m with a varying depth of 1.10 to 1.50 m, is lined in sand-coloured PVC and has salt purification, internal and external lights and Roman steps for access to the water. It is surrounded by the fenced sunbathing area, paved in stone and equipped with shaded sunbeds and a large gazebo in which a seating area and an elegant poolside dining area have been set up. A cold-water shower is available. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
