Villa San Gerbero
A timeless Tuscan retreat in the heart of the Valdera
Located on the gentle hillside of San Gerbero, once the site of a humble 18th-century farmhouse, Villa San Gerbero is a masterfully restored estate that blends the romance of rural Tuscany with contemporary elegance. Surrounded by well-tended Mediterranean gardens and centuries-old olive groves, the villa offers breathtaking views of the rolling hills of the Valdera, providing guests with a peaceful and elegant escape immersed in nature, history, and refined comfort.
From the moment you arrive, the villa exudes an atmosphere of understated luxury. Traditional terracotta floors, exposed chestnut beams, and hand-painted murals complement the large French doors that let natural light and fresh country air into every corner. Every detail has been carefully considered, from the luxurious furnishings and gourmet kitchen to the intimate corners and sunny common areas, creating the perfect environment for both socializing and retreating in peace.
At the center of the estate is a spectacular infinity pool, located in a private panoramic position. Here you can bask in the Tuscan sun, admire the vineyards below, and breathe in the scent of lavender and rosemary that perfumes the warm breeze.
