This was an antique convent, situated between the medieval village of Pomarance, La Rocca Sillana and the Valle del Diavolo (Devil’s Valley) surrounded oak and holm oak woods, olive cultivation on the carved slopes with Carthusian patience and in the distance beyond the hills, the sparkling sea.  Once it was a place suitable for the wearisome mediation of the monks and today, after the transformation into a residence, is the perfect arrangement for re-living a relaxing and peaceful holiday in nature but with thousands of ways of distraction.

The residence with six hectares of land, is the ideal place for those who are in search of space, nature and silence but also sport activities.  Near the house there is a swimming pool, tennis court and children’s playground.  It is also possible to hire bikes.  A trekking route winds through the shelter of the oak and holm oak woods.  A horse stables is situated within 2 kilometres.

The large barn with its antique brickwork vaults has been transformed into a large living room with fireplace for guests.  All of the 16 flats have independent entrances and an equipped area in gardens or on the small wooden balconies which open onto the flats on the 1st floor. The owners, kind and welcoming, say that now and again, the whole residence is reserved entirely by family/friends who come in groups to spend a relaxing and merry holiday in the country.

Leaving the house many of the main tourist attractions can be reached within a short distance of time:  the beautiful medieval villages of Valle del Diavolo, Volterra, Massa Marittima, Montecatini Val di Cecina, Livorno and resorts along the Etruscan coast.  The major art cities of Tuscany can be reached within an hour by car.
