All around the ‘Podere’ the typical Tuscan outdoor landscape is a breathtaking blend of rolling hills and cypress-lined country roads. The undulating terrain is covered in a patchwork of olive groves, oaks and grapevines. Tall, slender cypress trees stand in rows, in the back of the rustic stone farmhouse to protect from wind , adding a sense of elegance and order to the scenery. The buildings around often have terracotta roofs and earthy, ochre-colored walls that blend harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Distant medieval hilltop towns, such as San Miniato or Rosignano, punctuate the skyline with their ancient towers and churches. The sunlight bathes the landscape in warm, golden hues, particularly during sunrise and sunset, giving the countryside a timeless, painterly quality. Far away , you might see the Apennine Mountains which marble tops shine. This idyllic combination of natural beauty and human cultivation makes the the Pisa’s hills one of the most iconic rural landscapes in the world.
A porch encircles the front and the right wing of the house , for a continuous outdoor living space. The flooring is made of stones, a rustic yet elegant feel. Decorative stone planter line the edges, enhancing the classic look, while evenly spaced columns support the extended roof, which provides shade and shelter from the elements. Ceiling fans, pendant lights, and recessed lighting are installed overhead for comfort and ambiance and delight your evenings. Furnishings include iron chairs, wicker seating with plush cushions, porch swings, and small tables where you can enjoy your breakfast early in the morning, or a good book with a glass of red wine before the sunset. Potted plants, hanging flower baskets, and climbing vines along the columns add a touch of nature. The all-around design provides full-degree views of the surrounding landscape, making it ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying nature from any angle.
