Description

Collina Etrusca is a stunning hamlet, a combination of full restoration and new-build. The main fully restored building is an old mansion house, the Villa Lavanda, some of the other buildings are new-builds developed upon the positions of those much older buildings which once stood there. The whole project is designed to maintain the true characteristic of an ancient Tuscan estate. Collina Etrusca is located on a hill-top rising out of the vast open rolling hillsides of the Pisan Hills, it is set amidst the most spectacular scenery imaginable. Probably the most famous and historic hill town of Tuscany, San Gimignano is only 15 km away and the historic hill town of Volterra can be seen from the property just 6 km distance, rising so high from the Pisan landscape it can be seen for miles and miles. This is a truly splendid development, in a magnificent setting and is an absolute must visit on any viewing trip, it is simply irresistible.

The construction of the development is absolutely top notch, only the highest quality of workmanship, the finishes and quality of materials are without compromise and no aspect or attention to detail has been missed. The developers have succeeded in creating something quite unique and atmospheric at the highest level of luxury and quality. Typical features include wood beams, terracotta ceiling and floor tiles, natural stonework exteriors. Materials have been ethically sourced and energy saving has been a high priority in systems and construction.

The properties available are of quite a varied selection; but all are spacious and luxuriously well appointed apartments each with its own private garden and a private parking area, and all built within individual villas. Throughout the estate are vast green areas and communal gardens, a 100 m2 swimming pool with sun terrace, tennis courts and a fitness club. Within the large estate grounds there is an existing small lake, this will be transformed into a beautiful and artistic natural lake area for plants and wildlife, whilst also having a further swimming pool, this all is designed on the shape of a Tao sign.

The development could not be more ideally situated in central Tuscany, close enough to the Etruscan coastline at 30 km for visits to the beaches, whilst nestling right in the heart of the countryside amidst many historic cities, towns and villages. The international airport at Pisa is 60 km, the nearest railway station 20 km, the city of Livorno is 70 km, Siena 70 km and Florence around 80 km.

Phase 1 of the development is now completed, and all of the initial 20 apartments are ready, or almost ready, for occupation. A few units are already sold. There is a show apartment on site and viewings are highly recommended in order to appreciate the beauty of this development. The apartments are all within the 4 villas as follows:

• Villa Lavanda is the largest and main building with 11 apartments, all have a private garden, a parking space and all but 3 units have a large additional space for use as storage or for further accommodation conversion if wished.

• Villa Giglio has 4 apartments all with 2 bedrooms, a private garden, a parking space and some also have additional space for other use or storage room, 2 units also have a terrace.

• Villa Gelsomino has 3 apartments, all with 2 bedrooms, a private garden, a parking space and some also have additional space for other use or storage room, 2 units also have a terrace.

• Villa Ciclamino has just 2 apartments, each with 2 bedrooms, a large private garden and a parking space.

The plans and price list show just how large the additional areas which are sold with most of these apartments really are. These are in areas where the builder himself (due to the regulations) would have been unable to convert to further living accommodation or additional bedrooms due to being on the lower level and having no facility to introduce windows. However, they have included in these areas the set up for utilities to be connected or extended if required, so this leaves individual purchasers the ability to utilize these rooms in whatever way they wish.
