Property Summary
Nestled in the enchanting Tuscan countryside, Casa La Fenice is a splendid vacation rental that takes its evocative name from the phoenix, the mythical bird symbolising rebirth — a metaphor that could not be more fitting for this beautifully restored property. Once a simple country farmhouse, Casa La Fenice has been lovingly transformed into an elegant Tuscan residence through a meticulous renovation carried out with deep personal attachment by its owner. The property is situated just outside the town of Pomarance, in Italy, approximately 1 km from the town centre, in a lesser-known yet extraordinarily beautiful corner of Tuscany where verdant hills, nature reserves, and the otherworldly lunar landscapes of the Valle di Diavolo create a scenery of rare and almost mysterious beauty. The residence is enveloped by a fully fenced garden of approximately 20,000 square metres, offering complete privacy and tranquillity. A newly constructed swimming pool, a generous yard adorned with dry-stone walls, fruit trees, and olive trees, ample private parking just past the entrance gate, and high-speed Internet Wi-Fi connectivity all contribute to making this property an exceptional retreat for those seeking comfort, nature, and authentic Tuscan character.
