Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscan countryside, Casa La Fenice is a splendid vacation rental that takes its evocative name from the phoenix, the mythical bird symbolising rebirth — a metaphor that could not be more fitting for this beautifully restored property. Once a simple country farmhouse, Casa La Fenice has been lovingly transformed into an elegant Tuscan residence through a meticulous renovation carried out with deep personal attachment by its owner. The property is situated just outside the town of Pomarance, in Italy, approximately 1 km from the town centre, in a lesser-known yet extraordinarily beautiful corner of Tuscany where verdant hills, nature reserves, and the otherworldly lunar landscapes of the Valle di Diavolo create a scenery of rare and almost mysterious beauty. The residence is enveloped by a fully fenced garden of approximately 20,000 square metres, offering complete privacy and tranquillity. A newly constructed swimming pool, a generous yard adorned with dry-stone walls, fruit trees, and olive trees, ample private parking just past the entrance gate, and high-speed Internet Wi-Fi connectivity all contribute to making this property an exceptional retreat for those seeking comfort, nature, and authentic Tuscan character.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casa La Fenice are as thoughtfully designed as the interior, offering a rich variety of environments for relaxation, dining, and recreation across an expansive flat garden of approximately 20,000 square metres, entirely enclosed by fencing. Lawn areas are delimited by charming dry-stone walls and enlivened by aromatic herb bushes, fruit trees, and an abundance of olive trees, creating a quintessentially Tuscan atmosphere. A large portico with a dining table is conveniently positioned at the kitchen exit, providing an ideal setting for al fresco meals. A wooden gazebo with a table and relaxing sunbeds is located near the swimming pool, offering a shaded retreat during warm days. The barbecue area is equipped with both a wood oven and a barbecue, perfect for outdoor cooking and entertaining. A delightful pool of water lilies adds a decorative and serene touch to the garden landscape. The hydromassage tub, with its adjacent guest bathroom, is also available in the outdoor area. The newly built swimming pool is rectangular in shape, measuring 5 x 10 metres with a constant depth of 1.30 metres. It is lined in sand-coloured PVC and features chlorine purification, internal lights, and Roman steps for easy water access. The pool is non-heated and is surrounded by a sunbathing area paved in stoneware, complete with sunbeds, umbrellas, and a cold-water shower. The pool is available from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday in October.

Framed by a lush expanse of Turkey oaks, holm oaks, and olive trees, this historic fortified hamlet sits within the area of the Sienese Montagnola, offering guests an immersive retreat into one of the most evocative landscapes in all of Tuscany. The original architecture of the borgo has remained beautifully intact, with the characteristic stratification of its centuries-old buildings still clearly visible, lending the property an authenticity that is rare and deeply compelling.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of Scansano, in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, Podere Le Caprarecce is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that offers an exceptional vacation rental experience for up to 8 guests. This remarkable property is the result of a meticulous recovery of a late nineteenth-century agricultural residence, where original materials such as barberino stone walls, antique terracotta floors, and exposed chestnut ceiling beams have been lovingly preserved and integrated with local handicraft products. Set within the celebrated wine area of Morellino di Scansano, the estate is immersed in a landscape of cultivated terrain planted with vines and olive trees, framed by the characteristic hilly morphology of the Maremma. The property extends over 5,000 square metres of fenced grounds, offering generous outdoor spaces including a private swimming pool and a lush yard planted with cypresses, oaks, and fragrant Mediterranean shrubs. Reliable Wi-Fi connectivity is available throughout the property, ensuring guests remain connected during their stay. Parking for up to 4 vehicles is available on-site, both along the cypress-lined gravel driveway and in a more secluded area at a lower level. The estate comprises 2 independent buildings, the main farmhouse and a separate annex, providing a harmonious blend of rustic authenticity and modern comfort.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Podere Le Caprarecce are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless connection between the built environment and the surrounding Maremma landscape. The fenced property is enclosed by low walls, hedges, and wire mesh with wide openings, making it particularly suitable for medium to large dogs. The area surrounding the two buildings is covered in lawn and planted with cypresses and oaks that provide pleasant shaded areas throughout the day, while oleander, helichrysum, rosemary, and laurel perfume the summer air. In the lower-sloping section of the terrain, olive trees and shrubs typical of the Maremma complete the natural scenery.
Between the farmhouse and the annex, a pergola covered in American vine provides a charming alfresco dining area, furnished with a table and chairs and ideal for outdoor meals in the shade. The lower part of the park also features a ping-pong table and a basketball hoop mounted on the annex wall, offering recreational options for guests of all ages. Beneath the pool level, a storeroom is reserved for private use, housing the pool's technical compartment as well as farm tools and machinery.
The non-heated swimming pool is positioned 20 metres from the farmhouse and at the same level, offering breathtaking views over the Maremma hills and particularly beautiful sunsets. Rectangular in shape and measuring 8 x 4 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.40 to 2.20 metres, the pool is lined in sky-blue PVC and equipped with chlorine purification. Access to the water is via angular Roman steps. The surrounding solarium is finished in decking and non-slip porous stoneware and is furnished with sunbeds and umbrellas. Lighting is provided both inside the pool and across the solarium area. The swimming pool is available to guests from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October.
Unit Layout
Podere Le Caprarecce accommodates up to 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed between 2 independent buildings situated 20 metres apart.
The main farmhouse is arranged over 2 floors connected by both internal and external staircases. On the ground floor, the main entrance accessed from the garden on the poolside leads into a dining room featuring a Smart TV, armchairs, and a dining table. From this central space, guests can access both the fully equipped kitchen and a study, both of which have direct exits to the poolside garden. The ground floor also includes a bathroom with shower and washing machine, as well as a small under-stair cupboard used for storage. A terracotta staircase rises from the dining room to the first floor, where 2 double bedrooms and a bathroom with shower are located. From the first-floor hallway, a brick and stone staircase descends to the driveway on the side of the gate and leads to the annex.
The annex is entered through a sitting room furnished with a kitchenette, dining table, sofa, and a digital terrestrial TV. Facing the sitting room are 1 double bedroom with direct access to the garden, 1 twin bedroom with access to a small entrance porch, and 2 bathrooms with shower.

This inspection is carried out to verify the consistency of the property description, confirm the presence and operational condition of all listed accessories, and guarantee quality, cleanliness, and comfort for all guests.
