About two kilometres separate this lovely country house from the natural amphitheatre of the Uccelliera, home of the prestigious Teatro del Silenzio, from which the house takes its name, and overlooked by the beautiful panoramic swimming pool with an amazing view over the open landscape of the Pisan hills surrounding the property and stretching away to the ancient Rocca di Pietra Cassia and the picturesque borgo of Lajatico, with the towering Torre Civica in the foreground. Casale Teatro is inspired in its form by the typical Tuscan architecture with the façade in open-face stone. The interior, characterized by warm terracotta floors and wooden ceiling beams, has two large living areas with fireplace, set up for dining and relaxation, and a well-equipped kitchen while the bedrooms are bright and cosy, all with ensuite bathroom. Surrounded by a beautiful well-kept garden, with living areas set up to take good advantage of the relaxing atmosphere of the countryside and included in a well-established, organic agritourism estate, it provides a unique opportunity for a complete vacation from all points of view, with sport and nature taking pride of place. The estate has an area of about 400 hectares, of which 100 are made up of woodland, an authentic green lung populated by native fauna in unspoilt nature. The neat rows of vines and the silvery foliage of olive groves that unfold along the property frame the many dirt-track nature trails that wind for more than 10 km and along which, with varying levels of difficulty, you can walk or bike or visit the three birdwatching stations that have been set up. Golfers can practise on the driving range, just a few metres away, organized in a truly exclusive context. The leit motiv of the entire management of the farm is the full respect of nature. Therefore the 400 hectares of land that make up the entire property are cultivated and maintained in a strictly biological form with the start of a biodynamic approach, without using any chemicals such as desiccants or pesticidesThe large property produces the best that this fortunate land can offer: extra virgin olive oil and an exquisite nectar of the purest aromas of Sangiovese which can be tasted directly in the farm cellars. At the restaurant you can taste the typical dishes with the authentic flavours of the local cuisine, prepared in the simple and genuine, traditional style. The geographical location is ideal for exploring an area rich in top quality cultural itineraries; its proximity to major roads provides easy and quick travel to the main cities of Tuscany such as Volterra, San Gimignano, Pisa, Florence, Lucca and Siena. The Etruscan Coast, along the Livorno coastline, with its splendid beaches and pristine sea, is half an hour away and just a little further on are the famous resorts of Versilia. The property borders, on one side, with Casale Fienile and, at the back, with the owners' villa, from which it is separated, so as to guarantee privacy, by a hedge screen.
Interior:
The two-storey house (non internally connected) has an area of about 160 sq m and, due to its hillside position on sloping ground, has direct access to the outside from downstairs as well. The ground floor entrance takes you into the living room with dining area, directly connected to the kitchen and three double bedrooms (two with divisible bed), each with ensuite bathroom with shower, one of which is regulatory for the disabled (with no bidet). A staircase from the kitchen leads to the porch downstairs. From the porch a French window leads into an apartment composed of a living area with kitchenette and two double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower. An additional bathroom with shower (regulatory for the disabled), with access from the porch, houses the laundry area. Air conditioning in the bedrooms and in the dining room.
Park:
About 800 sq m of park surround the house, delimited on one side (which borders the other house) by a hedge screen. In the beautiful well-kept garden, enriched with many colourful blooms and bushes of broom that alternate with young cypress and olive trees dotted along the driveway and framing the pool area, is a gazebo with table and chairs for alfresco meals. A few metres away, near the swimming pool, is a brick-built structure with barbecue. For relaxing in the cool shade is the lounge area set up under the wide downstairs porch. The property has two parking areas, one in front of the main entrance and the second in front of the downstairs porch, accessed directly from the entrance gate (shared with Casale Fienile).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 sited in an area of the garden that offers a beautiful view over the Rocca di Pietra Cassia, the Teatro del Silenzio and Lajatico, perfectly integrated into the surrounding rural landscape and just 10 m from the house. The pool, with Roman steps, measures 4 x 8 m with a constant depth of 1.10 m. The border is in wood and it is lined in PVC. All around is the sunbathing area, in stone around the pool and then in grass around that, equipped with comfortable sunbeds. In the area is a cold-water shower, a brick-built structure with barbecue and a dining table, protected by a shady gazebo. The pool has chlorine purification and is open from the last Saturday in April until the first Saturday of October.
