About this property

Villa Bel Sogno - Beautiful View Of Volterra And The Countryside.

Bel Sogno, a "beautiful dream".....we hope you will feel the same way after spending time in our Italian home. We visited Italy 12 years in a row, exploring so many areas of this incredible country. Our favourite place was Tuscany, and after so many years we decided to create our own home away from home. The views captivated us, and after looking at 400 houses on line, and over 25 in person...this was our favourite by a mile! It checked every box on our wish list and the view exceeded anything we had seen. It continues to captivate us... still in love.

Near the ancient hill town of Volterra, surrounded by the green Tuscan countryside is Villa Bel Sogno. Part of Borgo Collevicchi, we are on the top of a hill in the heart of Tuscany with breathtaking views of nearby valleys. This newly restored farm outbuilding contains our apartment. Our apartment is surrounded by landscaped gardens & cypress trees, all reflective of the perfect Tuscan landscape. It has all the modern amenities yet captures the Tuscan feel of architecture and design.

Each of the two well appointed bedrooms has it's own air conditioner to provide comfort during the hot summer nights. To enjoy nature's gentle breezes, bug screens on metal tracks have been installed to allow the double doors to remain open without letting in nature's tiny creatures.

Enjoy beautiful dreams on our pillow top mattresses in both bedrooms. The master bedroom features 2 extra long twin beds that can connect to form a King size bed or be enjoyed separately. The master also has an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a Queen bed. The living room has a pullout queen size sofa bed. There is a second full bathroom available for guests.

The kitchen features a gas stove, oven, dishwasher and full fridge. The apartment also features a washing machine with a private courtyard to air dry your laundry. The entire apartment is on the ground level and has no stairs, easy for small children or guests with mobility issues.

Enjoy al fresco dining under your pergola in your private garden while savoring the panoramic views of Volterra. After dinner, enjoy a glass of wine on the outdoor couch and then take in the sunset from the pool deck.

A panoramic pool makes the borgo an even more special & relaxing place after a day of sightseeing in Tuscany. The pool is open from June 1st to September 30th and is 8 metres by 4 metres.

**Please keep in mind that the listed rental fee does not cover cleaning and the linen fees. For one week up to 6 people, this fee is 100,00 euro payable to the property manager upon arrival. Please contact us for further details.

***We also have a gorgeous Lake House in Eastern Ontario, Canada if you would like to check out that property! Go to VRBO #2929384. Good info to know if you are planning to explore Canada one day!

A country villa with a fabulous view
The villa was nicely renovated, Tania / Eric and the property manager Luigi are very responsive to any questions and concerns. It is a wonderful base in Tuscany.

Italy beauty
Relaxing, beautiful, amazing, exactly has advertised only better. Great location for day drives to see the Italian country side, yet close enough to attractions like Volterra for the day. Host was amazing responded quickly with answers to questions and offered details of where groceries and other needs could be found for your stay. On site manger was most helpful, accommodating great to deal with and has a great place to eat dinner should you decide to go out. I would highly recommend this location. Oh did I mention there is a pool. Don

Volterra is a perfect base to visit Tuscany
Very well appointed property. Pictures represent the apartment well. Luigi is great and very helpful, very responsive on What’s App. Owners are also quick to answer any communication. Delightful visit of the region. Pool is shared and very accessible. Outdoor seating area is fabulous for meals and aperitivo. You need to walk to apartment maybe several hundred meters as car needs to be parked at the gate; not a big issue for most unless you have mobility concerns. Extra towels for pool and sufficient toilet paper would be the only requests I would suggest. We had a fabulous time.

360 degree views of the Tuscan hills
On the first night of our stay, we were sitting at the pool and saw deer skipping through the olive trees... what a treat! Eric an Tania's place has breath taking 360 degree views... everywhere you look, you see the rolling Tuscan hills. We enjoyed our stay and my daughter loved using the milk frother for her coffee in the morning. Luigi was so kind and flexible.. he made the extra effort to allow us to check in earlier and check out a little later. It was 38 degree temperatures while we were there so the pool was a godsend. We even took the opportunity to drive to Cala Violina which is a secluded beach on a nature reserve. You have to reserve and prepay for your tickets and parking a few days before. Going to Italy has long been a dream and I savored every moment. And make sure you go to Podere Santa Vittoria for dinner...their burrata and lemon ravioli are delicious...and the views from the restaurant are so stunning, they don't seem real.

Beautiful Tuscany Retreat
Incredible views and beautiful, well appointed home. Would highly recommend this property. Luigi, Catoucha, and the chef at Santa Vittoria made our holiday memorable!

About the host

Hosted by Eric & Tania Nash

Host profile image
Growing up in Canada, we have been lucky to travel to many wonderful countries. We fell in love with Tuscany over 20 years ago, and after many, many visits decided it was the right time to find a home to enjoy. We love to travel, and have found two places near & dear to our heart. Tuscany, Italy and Northern Ontario.

Why they chose this property

We took our time to research over 400 properties on line and narrowed it to 25 properties to tour while in the region. This was the first property we saw, and set the standard for the other 24 homes that we visited. After a few more return visits, we knew this apartment was meant to be ours. The views took our breath away even on a winter's day in Volterra.

We have stayed in many vacation properties in Italy over the past 20 years and knew we could make this a home away from home for us & others.

What makes this property unique

Scenic views yet 10 minutes to Volterra and 20 minutes to San Gimignano. Private garden & shared pool to enjoy. Wonderful Agriturismo only a minute walk away!
