Province of Pisa
Holiday in Tuscany villas, far from the madding crowd
Province of Pisa
The beautiful hilly countryside surrounding Pisa makes this region a wonderful location where people enjoy spending their holiday choosing from the various offers of apartments in Tuscany.The province is one of the largest in Tuscany and it comprehends many famous medieval villages such as Volterra, Lari, Terricciola, Casciana Terme. In the surroundings of these villages, owners have, in the last years, renovated old farmhouses, resulting in a picturesque and large variety of villas for rent in the Pisan area as well as beautiful and original accommodations.
The town of Pisa, internationally famous for its monuments, is rich in hotels and also apartments near the Square of Miracles (Piazza dei Miracoli) and the Leaning Tower, among the most famous landmarks in the world.
But Pisa is much more than this. Pisa’s origins are controversial: proposed founders are the Ligurians, the Etruscans, the Greeks and the Romans. Its history tends to dissolve into mythology: it might have taken part in the war of Troy. Nevertheless its connexion with the 2nd Punic war is a historical event which laid the foundation of its subsequent naval and military power and of its role of “guardian” of the Tyrrhenian coast against the Saracen and Norman invasions.
A city with natural ties with water, to which it owed its origin and then its decline, Pisa grew up at the confluence of the Arno river and a branch of the Serchio river. The coastline was further inland than it is now and much of the area was marshland, constantly subjected to flooding by the Arno. Even Pisa's harbour, which played such a part in the history of the glorious maritime republic, silted up by the river, was abandoned in favour of nearby Leghorn.
After fighting against Lucca and Genoa it eventually had to capitulate and be ruled by Florence. The Medici rule resulted in significant initiatives aimed at revitalizing the city's stagnant economy. Unable to regain the prestige of the past centuries it could nevertheless strengthen its cultural role, reopening the ancient university, which was to become a scientific centre of the first rank, culminating today in the prestigious Scuola Normale Superiore, situated in Piazza dei Cavalieri, one of the most eloquent legacies of Pisa's Medici rulers.
Today the most tangible witness of Pisa's former grandeur is the “Square of Miracles”, Piazza dei Miracoli, since 1987 a Unesco World Heritage Site. The harmonious complex of white marble buildings is one of the most fascinating creations in the whole of Western civilization. On one hand the monumentality of the classical Romanesque art in the basilican plan and decorations and on the other the refined style of the Orient, reflected both in the profile of the Dome and in the use of the black and white marble cladding. It suggests an understanding of Oriental art, deriving from centuries of contact with the Islamic world of the Mediterranean basin. But by far the most celebrated monument, stirring popular imagination, is the bell tower, known as the “Leaning Tower”.
The square is closed in on its northern side by the monumental cemetery called the Campo Santo, once decorated in its entirety with one of the most majestic cycles of frescoes of the Middle Ages. Damaged during the last war, the restoration works have re-established its original state permitting one to enjoy a complete plunge into the past.

Chianni - RIF. S161
This superb villa, one of our best holiday home near Volterra, is located at the border of the ancient medieval village of Chianni, on a hill dominating the valley between Pisa and Volterra. Surrounded by forests, olive groves and vineyards, this enchanting holiday accommodation was built in the 1930s in Art Nouveau –Italian Liberty- style by the ancestor of today’s owner, a noble landowner. The house still maintains its original design, as can be seen from the façade, the balustrades and the window frames. Even the interior has maintained most of its 1930s atmosphere and style with antique furnishings, coats of arms, original decorations and frescoes.
