Historic church in Tuscany with panoramic views

About this house

Surrounded by picturesque olive groves and dense forests, this extraordinary accommodation awaits you in the form of a centuries-old church. Its exposed location on a hilltop offers breathtaking views in two directions across the Tuscan countryside.

The former church, dating back to 866, has been transformed into a fascinating living space that combines history with modern comfort. The eight-meter-high ceilings and underfloor heating create a unique atmosphere. Two small bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, one double room, and one single room with bunk beds offer space for three to four guests. The church is part of a lovingly maintained estate that houses two other vacation homes.

The spacious communal grounds invite you to linger and offer plenty of space for privacy. The generous terrace and pool promise relaxing moments under the Tuscan sun. The 7-hectare property unfolds into shimmering olive groves, shady woods, and a 3,800 m² lovingly fenced garden.

From here, you can explore the cultural treasures of Tuscany: Lucca, Pisa, and Florence are less than an hour away. The surrounding area offers charming wineries, relaxing thermal baths, and authentic markets. The medieval village of Vellano, with its excellent pizza, is an absolute highlight.
