About this property
Once home to a horsewoman’s stable, Villa La Cavallerizza now stands as a refined retreat that blends countryside charm with understated elegance. Just a short stroll from the heart of Borgo Pignano, this 3-bedroom villa overlooks the estate’s stables and horse arena, with views stretching across undulating Tuscan hills.
Inside, the villa is light-filled and characterful, offering three en suite bedrooms with king-size double beds, all opening to the pretty garden. The delightful living space is open plan to an attractive kitchen and dining area with three sets of arched doors opening to a shaded dining terrace with glorious vistas.
Outside, the private heated swimming pool is an idyllic spot for long summer days or sit back on the raised terrace with a glass of Chianti wine in hand as you gaze out to Tuscan scenery.
Thoughtful details abound, from daily housekeeping and evening turndown service to fresh flowers, seasonal fruit and a bottle of estate wine on arrival. A golf buggy is at your disposal for exploring the estate, while parking with an EV charger ensures convenience at every turn.
