Villa in Province of Pisa, private pool & garden, near airport Pisa or Firenze

"THE VILLA"

Perched atop a picturesque hillock chain overlooking the Arno Valley, VILLA BELVEDERE is located near Marti, in the province of Pisa, at the heart of Tuscany. With a stunning 360° panoramic view, this idyllic retreat offers easy access to the most famous art cities of Tuscany—from Pisa (30 minutes away) to Pienza (two hours away).

Beyond these renowned destinations, Tuscany's rich heritage extends to its lesser-known towns and villages, where art, architecture, and history reveal traces of civilizations ranging from the Etruscans and Romans to the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Some of the most charming locations, such as Montopoli Valdarno, Palaia, San Miniato, Vinci, Cerreto Guidi, Volterra, and San Gimignano, are all within an hour’s drive.

VILLA BELVEDERE is set within its own private grounds, surrounded by woodlands and olive groves from which the estate produces its certified IGP Tuscan olive oil.

The FRONT LAWN is the perfect place to relax or enjoy a barbecue.
The rural setting has been intentionally preserved with simple yet charming elements: fruit trees (pears, peaches, figs, chestnuts, olives) and aromatic herbs like rosemary and sage growing in flower beds that decorate the villa’s exterior.

The SWIMMING POOL is located on a lower level of the garden, ensuring privacy from the main house and lawn.

The pool has a maximum depth of 1.40m, with a separate shallow area for toddlers (max depth 40cm). A beige liner blends seamlessly with the natural surroundings.
The pool deck is paved and furnished with plenty of sun loungers, including a huge outdoor bed, perfect for lazy afternoons.
The villa, located on a cul-de-sac, is bordered by **woodlands on one side and an olive grove on the other**, providing a serene and private environment.

Poolside amenities include:
• A large fixed sunbed
• Two sun loungers
• Two deckchairs
• A small table with four chairs
• A sun umbrella
• A dining area for eight guests, with a barbecue and firewood available on-site.


"ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES"

Villa Belvedere operates with an eco-friendly solar heating system, which provides hot water during the summer months, reducing its environmental impact.


"INTERIOR AND LIVING SPACES"

The farmhouse underwent a full renovation in 2000, with an interior repaint and maintenance of windows and doors in 2011.

The LIVING ROOM, once the villa’s stable, features large terracotta tiles and rustic brick arches, which elegantly separate the sitting area from the dining room.A custom-made coffee table, repurposed from an old pigsty door, sits at the center of a cozy sofa arrangement.

The DINING AREA area features a French window that opens onto the front lawn, enhancing the authentic country dining experience.

The KITCHEN, accessible from the entrance, is striking with its grand Tuscan fireplace and rustic yet fully functional appliances, including:
• A six-burner gas stove and oven
• A dishwasher for added convenience
• A charming wooden refrigerator, now creatively repurposed as a ladder

ENTERTAINMENT includes a satellite TV, DVD player, stereo system, and WiFi. A large arched window offers breathtaking views of the Apennines, particularly stunning at sunset.

A UTILITY ROOM includes a washing machine, ironing board, and cleaning essentials, making long stays feel like home—especially for families with children.

A DOWNSTAIRS WC is conveniently located under the stairs, along with a shower for rinsing off after a swim.

ALL BEDROOMS are spacious yet cozy, featuring ample wardrobe space, antique furnishings, wooden floors, and terracotta tiles.

The MAIN BATHROOM is large and elegant, equipped with:
• A bathtub
• A basin, WC, and bidet
• A seating area for added comfort
• The shower room features a stone floor and a restored wooden vanity, maintaining the farmhouse’s rustic charm.

Nie wieder !
Ein total ungepflegtes Haus, kein Trinkwasser, alles dreckig ! Wir haben sofort unseren Urlaub abgebrochen. Das Abwasser aus der Küche wird in den Garten geleitet, der Gestank ist bestialisch! An der ganzen Fassade hängt kein grünes Blatt mehr- die Fassade ist komplett verschimmelt. Vom Vermieter ist keinerlei Rückerstattung zu erwarten ! Es handelt sich hier um arglistige Täuschung ! Fewo kümmert sich überhaupt nicht ! Wir sind leider reingefallen !

Truly beautiful Tuscan Villa
A fabulously located pretty Tuscan Villa with owners that are very close and always helpful. Well equipped and well kept property that lends itself to a quiet, relaxing holiday overlooking lush Tuscan countryside. We very much enjoyed the true Tuscan feel to the whole property and the helpfullness of the owners who went out of their way to make the stay a joy.

Beautiful, tranquil villa in great location
Lovely, very private, clean and comfortable villa with 3 large double bedrooms, a peaceful garden & pool and stunning views. Fabulous location for exploring much of Tuscany by car and also by train from Pontedera (10 minutes drive away). Laura came to give the children pasta making lessons, which was wonderful and the pool was regularly cleaned. Great vineyard nearby called Agri Sole, for tasting wines and Tuscan food. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - many thanks Genka.

Dream vacation at Villa Belvedere
Villa Belvedere is the perfect Tuscan hill country getaway. It sits on top of a quiet ridge top just above the Arno River valley in the town of Marti. The views are spectacular and the site is very quiet and peaceful. You will need to rent a car, which we did at the Pisa airport, which I highly recommend, it's very easy to get in and out of, and has a very small town feel. My wife Susan and I completely fell in love with The Villa. It's a beautifully restored farmhouse full of great art and antiques. The beds were super comfortable, and the bathrooms quite lovely and well maintained. The villa can very comfortably accommodate 6 people. Our stay was in October, which I would say is an ideal time of year in Tuscany. The pool was starting to cool off a bit, but on sunny days was a refreshing delight. The location in Marti was perfect for exploring the hill towns in every direction, and Firenze to the east, and Pisa- Lucca to the west. Our host Genka and Maria Pace are generous and gracious people who live nearby in Marti, and were always ready and able with help and advice. Also, Genka, being half Brit is a native English speaker which can be helpful. In summary, I really can hardly describe how much we loved our stay at the beautiful Villa Belvedere! Oh, one more thing, the kitchen is fully stocked for cooking and there is easy access to great groceries at the local COOP. We hope to return to the Villa someday soon. Ciao, Skip and Susan

Beautiful Tuscan villa
This is a lovely villa with beautiful grounds - it's great having the grassy airy above the pool. It is well equipped and spacious. It's a short walk to Marti (it's a shame there is only a small local bar there and no restaurant and the bar isn't open every day). Close to the Fi-Pi-Li so easy to get around by car and close to train stations for trips to Florence etc. Watch out if arriving on a Sunday to try and buy supplies in advance.

A great place
We had a very nice week at the Villa Belvedere. The Villa's style was "rustic charm" and had everything you need. It is in a quiet location, ideal if you want to get some peace and quiet in the Tuscan hills. The layout of the garden and pool is ideal for family holidays where you also have the option of finding a private spot under the shade to read a good book without being interrupted. Overall we had a very pleasant stay and would have no doubts in recommending this villa to anybody seeking an enjoyable holiday in Tuscany.

A wonderful hill top escape.
Villa Belvedere is an exceptional property in a commanding position with views across the Tuscan countryside. I went there for 2 weeks in summer 2013 with my wife and 3 children, and we had a wonderful time. On the outskirts of Marti, the villa is within easy driving range of all the wonderful Tuscan cities - Sienna, Pisa, Florence, plus a host of smaller charming towns. There are also extensive restaurants in the local vicinity. What sets Villa Belvedere apart is the care that its owner, Genka, takes of families renting the villa. The villa is well catered for, and is very clean and comfortable. However, it is the extra touches that Genka provides, such as regular and unobtrusive pool cleaning and house maintenance, plus really useful recommendations of days out, supermarkets, restaurants, and even the best routes when sat nav struggles with the local roads! I recommend this villa heartily for those who love summer heat, peace, barbecues, swimming (the swimming pool is ingenious, as it includes a ledge where babies and toddlers can safely potter), food, wine and relaxing.

Charming rustic Tuscan villa with great views
Beautiful rustic villa with fantastic views. Very well equipped with everything you need for a holiday rental. Quiet and peaceful location but also close to main routes for visiting famous places (e.g. Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Siena, Volterra). The owners (Genka and family) were very welcoming and helpful with their local knowledge, also accessible if needed. Very happy to recommend this villa. No faults experienced - first class!

just wonderful. Perfect Holiday.
The property is amazing. Large garden on the hilltop surrounded by trees, in the summer chilled by wind. Closest neighbours about 500m away but still close enough if you want to walk for coffee to the town. Charming house with swimming pool. Our host Genka-amazingly friendly and helpful. Marti is half away between Pisa (and airport) and Florence making it super place to explore Toscany. Pet and Children friendly place, with internet if you have to work. Amazing vacation place for a family.
