Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Val di Cecina in Pomarance, Tuscany, Italy, the villa known as Cosciano offers an extraordinary vacation rental experience for those seeking privacy, relaxation, and absolute tranquillity in a setting of rare natural beauty. This magnificent stone farmhouse, dating back to the mid-19th century, has been lovingly preserved across 4 generations before being thoughtfully renovated in the 1990s into a refined summer residence, while retaining every hallmark of its authentic Tuscan character. The property stands within a vast estate of 1,200 hectares, where a lush wooded landscape stretches in every direction and a well-maintained yard of 500 square metres surrounds the villa with natural grass, fragrant herbs, and centuries-old trees. A row of cypresses lines the dirt drive leading to the partially covered parking area, which connects both to the main entrance and to a flight of stone steps ascending to the villa's front door, ensuring convenient and scenic arrival for all guests. Wireless internet Wi-Fi is available throughout the property, keeping guests connected while they enjoy the serenity of the Tuscan countryside. With its commanding view of the historic town of Volterra and its timeless architectural elegance, Cosciano stands as a truly exceptional retreat in the heart of Italy.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Cosciano are a seamless extension of the villa's warm and welcoming character, offering a variety of settings in which to enjoy the Tuscan landscape at every hour of the day. The garden, covered in natural grass and enriched by dense bushes and mature trees including holm oaks, oaks, olives, and myrtle, provides generous shade throughout the day, particularly in the area behind the villa, where comfortable wooden benches invite guests to sit, breathe in the fresh air, and simply unwind. Fragrant herbs such as rosemary and sage grow throughout the garden, adding a sensory dimension to every stroll and offering fresh ingredients to enhance your cooking. On the covered, terracotta-tiled patio adjacent to the dining room, a cosy outdoor dining area provides the perfect setting for alfresco meals, directly connected to the interior through a French window for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The non-heated swimming pool is situated in the garden area in front of the property, set at a slightly lower level than the villa and reached via a path across the lawn. Rectangular in shape with a stone border, it measures 18 x 6 metres with a depth ranging from 1.5 to 3 metres, and features salt purification, internal lighting, and Roman steps for easy access to the water.

Villa Laconella is located on the south coast of the island of Elba, on the Gulf of Lacona, enclosed in an embrace of Mediterranean scrub where the colours and scents of nature mingle, gifting strong emotions. Its privileged position allows you to reach two of the most beautiful beaches on the island in just a few minutes on foot with a pleasant stroll on a partly-paved and partly-dirt road, accessible from a small gate in the garden: the beach of Lacona which, with its 1200 metres of white sand, is one of the largest beaches on the island and, next to it, the beach of Laconella, also sandy but with a beautiful cove of stones and pebbles on its right. Once past the entrance gate, the naturally shaded drive leads to this house which has been lovingly restored and furnished by three brothers who have personally supervised the internal and external organisation of the areas in order for it to be lived in both inside and outside. Villa Laconella is located on a sloping-down ground and so it has two not communicating floors, a ground floor and a basement floor, both reachable from the external, following the conformation of the terrain on which it is located. The two floors do not communicate with each other, and neither do the three residential units on the upper floor and this is precisely one of the strong points of the house as it offers complete independence to large groups of guests who choose it, though maintaining a natural unity of all spaces, thus making it the ideal solution for groups of large families. The villa is furnished in a modern style, with the prevailing tones of white standing out against the warm colours of the floor and the beige and blue of the details; natural light is the protagonist, entering through the large windows and the French windows. The internal and external areas are equipped with every comfort and it will be surprisingly easy to get used to, and to abandon yourself to, the company of the scents of the garden mingling with the smell of salt and the sound of the sea echoing in the background.
Interior:
Following the main access driveway, the road gently slopes down to the main entrance located on the lower ground floor. LOWER GROUND FLOOR – Entering from the main entrance, you will find a spacious open-plan living area with an open kitchen, dining table, and sofa; a hallway leads to a bathroom with shower; the sleeping area consists of a bedroom with a bunk bed and a private wardrobe, connecting via a sliding door to the double bedroom (which can also be accessed from the outside through a French door). GROUND FLOOR – From the outdoor area, a few steps lead up to the ground floor (also reachable via a pathway starting from the parking area), which houses three independent, non-communicating residential units, each with its own private entrance. UNIT 1: composed of a living area, a double bedroom, a bathroom with shower, and a small bedroom with a bunk bed. UNIT 2: composed of a living area, a bathroom with shower, and a double bedroom overlooking the rear of the villa (which, if needed, can connect to the small bedroom with bunk beds via an internal door, making these two units adjoining). UNIT 3: composed of a living area, a bathroom with shower, and a double bedroom. Note: the bathrooms are not equipped with bidets.
Park:
The beautiful garden surrounding the property extends over 1000 sq m and is completely fenced and entirely passable. As soon as you pass the main entrance gate you come to the handy parking area where you are immediately immersed in typical Mediterranean scrub. The garden is rich in the classic vegetation of the island of Elba with cork trees, pines and brooms which offer many shaded areas. Among this luxuriant vegetation are local wild brambles, planted in the garden and blending in well with the juniper and rosemary. There are also beds of ornamental plants, as well as various herbs that will give your dishes a Mediterranean flavour. In front of the main entrance of the villa is the tiled outdoor area, with gazebo, table and chairs and equipped with a mobile barbecue and an outdoor stainless steel stove that will welcome the guests to fully enjoy the convivial moments of the table with a background of the sound of the sea nearby. Next to the pool, a flight of stone steps across the garden leads to a small gate leading to the road to the beach of Lacona, just a few hundred metres away and reachable on foot. At the end of the driveway, next to the parking area, is a stone structure with the laundry room, a handy outdoor sink and a shower.
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 swimming pool is located in front of the external living area and is reached via a tiled path or up a few stone steps from the ground floor. The pool area is bordered by a beautiful classical style colonnade and elegant statues on one side and a low stone wall on the other. The irregular-shaped pool (a rectangle with a rounded side from which Roman steps lead down into the water), measuring 7 x 6.5 m with a constant depth of 1.4 m, is lined in travertine and equipped with salt purification and internal lighting. Surrounding it is the solarium area with travertine paving and furnished with sunbeds while, adjacent to the solarium, under the shade of a beautiful gazebo, is an external seating area with sofas. Next to the pool area is a changing room and an outdoor hot and cold-water shower. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday in October.
Pets: Yes. € 50,00 per animal per week to be paid on site.
