Description

The Hideaways Club - Podere Le Sensaie

This property is a part of The Hideaways Club and accessible to our members through our partnership with them.

This 150-year-old restored stone farmhouse is set in the heart of the Tuscan countryside overlooking the medieval hilltop village of Lajatico. From the golden stone façade to the earth-tone interiors, Podere Le Sensaie has a luxe-rustic vibe. It's secluded enough for peaceful days under the sun and close enough to Florence, Siena, Pisa, and San Gimignano for exciting days out exploring.

Take in the panoramic views of the neighboring village from the gazebo or any of the sun terraces, or potter around the olive grove and landscaped gardens before diving into the pool for a swim.

Every corner of this luxury villa in Tuscany is finished to the highest spec, with barrel-vaulted ceilings, restored stone walls and terracotta floors. A small spiral staircase and a dovecote tower add quirkiness to an otherwise traditional look: Persian rugs, statue busts, a stone fireplace and paintings by local artists. White and wood dominate the five bedrooms while the kitchen is painted in modern pistachio green. All bedrooms are en-suite, two with baths and three with showers.

This farmhouse also features a large open-plan lounge and dining areas, as well as a games room, outdoor dining area and a further upstairs living area.

During your stay in this luxury Tuscan home, there is plenty to do in the surrounding area. Wander down to Lajatico village, Andrea Bocelli's home town and visit the Teatro del Silenzio, an open-air amphitheater where the Italian tenor hosts a concert every year in July. A short drive away is Pisa, home to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Take a stroll down Campo dei Miracoli to visit the cathedral or amble down quaint alleyways filled with leather goods, furniture and gourmet food. Each second weekend of the month (with the exception of July and August) sees the streets around the Piazza dei Cavalieri transform into a vast open market.

Please note the exact square footage and room configuration are not available. This property is not wheelchair accessible.

Tuscany Villa

The Hideaways Club was an awesome host. They provided our personal concierge well in advance to plan a week full of adventure and top shelf experiences in Italy! They also provided an outstanding house manager/concierge for the week we were in the home. They go the extra mile to make sure the property is in great shape and the experience is the best it can be. This has been one of the Best THIRDHOME stays I have enjoyed ”

Amazing Villa!

We were 4 couples who spent one glorious week in Tuscany at this amazing villa. It was a November week and we experienced rain, rain and more rain. Fortunately, that did not hinder our fun. We went on day trips to Luca, Florence, Siena, San Gimiano and Volterra. The house is up a nearly mile long steep driveway so I suggest you rent a 4 wheel drive. The villa itself was WONDERFUL! The pictures do not do it justice. We arrived after a very long travel day to a couple of bottles of wine, cheese, prosciutto, coffee etc. We made fires in the fireplace (wood provided!) . The beds (all kings!) and bedding were so comfy. The pool was so cool - too cold for us to use it. The grounds were absolutely immaculate - thanks to adorable Sergio! The local Concierge Andrea was so helpful! I wish we could return. We all loved it! Thank you for giving us this opportunity! It was a little slice of heaven. ”
