The property reflects all the charm of old 15th century Tuscan buildings still visible in the stratification of the buildings and in the original architecture, which has remained intact, of the borgo. Once past the surrounding walls, you find yourself in a large internal courtyard around which open all the entrances of the residential units that make up the borgo. Sixteen spacious bedrooms, with air conditioning and private bathroom, the large living room and professional kitchen united in the imposing central body, substantial equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, immersed in an immense park, make the borgo the ideal place to host family reunions or to accommodate large groups of friends who wish to spend a relaxing stay in a secluded setting, albeit very close to the most beautiful and prestigious attractions of this part of Tuscany. The generosity and beauty of the outdoor areas make the location particularly suitable for events and ceremonies. The property is located less than 2 km from Monteriggioni, a 13th century fortified borgo set on a panoramic hill, dominating the slopes planted with vineyards and olive trees; just a short distance from Siena and also in an excellent position for visiting the entire Chianti region, dotted with numerous castles transformed into wineries and medieval towns where you will be conquered by splendid landscapes and ancient buildings. Within the property, on request, it is possible to taste and buy the extra virgin olive oil produced by the estate, to organise lessons in typical cuisine in the large professional kitchen, and to avail yourself of staff and a personal chef for your entire stay.
Interior:
The complex follows the typical structure that is historically defined as "courtyard house", consisting of a main body and a separate annex (located opposite) composed of several residential units, for a total of about 1200 sq m and organised around a central courtyard where all the various entrances are located. MAIN BODY. On three floors. On the ground floor, through the courtyard, you enter the main door which opens into a large living room with sofas and TV area. A short corridor leads to the dining room, connected to the professional kitchen which, through a French window, leads to the courtyard set up for outdoor dining and to a service bathroom. The ground floor is completed by three double bedrooms (two with divisible bed) with private bathroom with shower. An external staircase next to the main entrance leads up to the first floor where, crossing a terrace equipped with tables, you come to a living room with fireplace and six bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub, a twin (with joinable beds) served by a bathroom with tub and shower, and four doubles (two with divisible bed) with ensuite bathroom with shower. On the second floor, accessed from the first floor corridor via a simple spiral staircase, is a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. ANNEX.

The second flight leads to a landing with two independent bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub and another double with ensuite bathroom with shower (both bedrooms have a divisible bed). The laundry is located in an external room behind the kitchen. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms.
Park:
48 hectares of land surround the borgo, distributed amongst extensive woodland, immense arable fields, meadows and a vast olive grove where you can walk or practise sport, immersed in nature. The park pertaining to the borgo extends for about 4 hectares and includes areas paved in terracotta, with seats and small tables, and areas of lawn embellished with tall trees, olive and fruit trees and thick bushes of herbs. In the courtyard onto which all the entrances open, particularly that of the kitchen, a dining area has been set up with tables and chairs with, close by, a wood oven and barbecue. A large loggia a short distance from the courtyard and the terrace on the first floor of the main house are perfect relaxation areas, where you can sit and admire the panoramic views. Next to the structure is a large parking area.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.

Property Summary
Nestled in the authentic heart of the Val di Cecina in Pomarance, Italy, Villa Beltramonto is a masterfully restored farmhouse perched on a hill 374 metres above sea level, where sweeping panoramas of sinuous rolling landscapes stretch toward the distant edge of the Apuan Alps. This impressive vacation rental seamlessly blends the timeless character of traditional Tuscan architecture with the finest contemporary comforts, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking both privacy and proximity to the region's most celebrated destinations. The property is distinguished by its exposed stone walls, wooden-beamed ceilings, and terracotta tiles, all of which have been preserved with great care during an excellent restoration that has enriched rather than altered the farmhouse's authentic typicality. Guests are welcomed into a generous living environment that opens directly onto beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces, offering an experience that is as immersive as it is refined. The lush garden of approximately 5,000 square metres surrounds the villa on all sides, providing a verdant and secluded setting complete with a panoramic swimming pool, a charming gazebo, and vine-covered pergolas. Covered parking is available at the end of an elegant driveway lined with imposing cypress trees, while high-speed Internet WiFi ensures connectivity throughout the stay. The property is situated just approximately 700 metres from the shops, restaurants, and cafés of the borgo of Pomarance, making it as convenient as it is tranquil.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Beltramonto are a true extension of the villa's gracious hospitality, spread across approximately 5,000 square metres of hilly terrain that unfolds over 2 distinct terraces. The upper terrace is home to the south-facing swimming pool, a non-heated rectangular pool measuring 5 x 8 metres with a varying depth of 1.10 to 1.50 metres. Lined in sand-coloured PVC and equipped with salt purification, internal and external lighting, and Roman steps for water access, the pool is surrounded by a fenced sunbathing area paved in stone and furnished with shaded sunbeds. A large gazebo adjacent to the pool area has been elegantly appointed with a seating area and a poolside dining area, making it an ideal spot to enjoy the magical sunsets that have become one of the villa's most celebrated features. A cold-water shower is also available in this area. The pool is open from the last Saturday in April to the first Saturday in October. Approximately 40 metres from the house and accessible via a flight of steps, the pool area offers an open panoramic viewpoint over the surrounding countryside. The lower areas of the garden feature lawn sections, a rich variety of plants, aromatic herb bushes, and olive trees that frame the open landscapes visible from every side of the property. A charming gazebo with an outdoor dining area, a barbecue, a wood oven, and a ping pong table is set within this colourful and secluded spot. Vine-covered pergolas positioned directly outside the main living areas are equipped with tables for outdoor dining, creating additional spaces for al fresco meals. The garden is sealed at its lower boundary by a thick patch of woodland, adding to the sense of seclusion and natural beauty.

A few steps along the stone walkway that crosses the green lawn will take you from the portico to the large platform/solarium overlooking the sea; from here, a private passage will accompany you to the splendid 150 metres of white beach that form the Golfo della Padulella, bordered by the imposing cliffs that plunge into the endless blue that characterizes this formidable strip of the island of Elba, within an biological protected area. In this authentic paradise of incomparable beauty, in the centre of a Mediterranean-inspired garden with a beautiful sea-water swimming pool and a wonderful gazebo equipped for outdoor cooking and relaxation, Villa Padulella finds its natural collocation. The exterior is clad with granite stone, cleverly alternating with delicate plastering and juniper and chestnut wood, an authentic work of art, the result of the successful combination between home automation technology and skilful craftsmanship. The doors and windows in pickled oak and the custom-made furniture set in the walls have the sense of solid wood that has been salvaged and treated; the lamps and the exquisite bed headboards, made from bleached driftwood make every room unique, evoking splendid motifs of aquatic inspiration; the beautiful glazed majolica tiles in brilliant orange, yellow and purple are a cascade of energy for the bedrooms floors and the original bathrooms, personalized by cylinder-shaped showers accessed through an open porthole. Hub of the house is the bright living room, all in white, which is made to duet harmoniously, by the continuity of the natural terracotta flooring, both inside and outside, and the lively play of large glass doors and windows, with the pergola that expands out to the garden and pool, the perfect spot to just laze about and watch the sea while comfortably ensconced in a cosy armchair. It will be wonderful to return to this dream villa after a day spent exploring the enchanting little coastal corners of this beautiful island, the stunning beaches of Cavoli, Sansone, Fetovaia, Cala dei Frati and Sant'Andrea, or the fabulous paths which wind up to the peaks of Monte Capanne (also accessible by cable car), the ascent of which will be rewarded by stunning views across the whole island and which stretch to the coast of Tuscany and to Corsica. The villa is located in a residential area just three minutes from the centre of Portoferraio, where the the main bus terminus is and where you will find all services, shops and supermarkets. At the centre of the beach is a restaurant and bar open during the summer.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the east coast of the island of Elba, in Italy, Villa Zaca occupies a splendid dominant hilly position within the Minelba National Mining Park, offering an exceptional vacation rental experience that seamlessly blends panoramic landscape with year-round tranquillity. Situated in that rare stretch of territory between Porto Azzurro and Cavo, the property stands surrounded by a centuries-old woodland of cork oaks, maritime pines, and numerous other protected plant species that ensure remarkable oxygenation of the environment even during the height of summer. Recently renovated with obsessive attention to detail and a deep respect for Tuscan tradition, Villa Zaca has become the setting for photo shoots commissioned by magazines specialising in Architecture and Restoration. The villa is laid out on a single floor to guarantee maximum comfort, and its design opens directly onto large furnished outdoor terraces. The property is entirely fenced and benefits from a lush, tiered park that invites daily exploration of its many distinct relaxation areas. Guests enjoy seamless connectivity throughout their stay thanks to Internet WiFi, while the expansive yard surrounding the villa provides a private and verdant retreat unlike any other on the island. The port of Rio Marina, just 4 km away, serves as the nearest urban reference point for dining, shopping, and ferry connections.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Zaca are among its most remarkable features, offering a rich variety of environments in which to unwind and connect with the natural surroundings. Surrounding the villa are numerous porticoes covered by dried Mediterranean scrub, alongside grassy areas planted with evergreen species of particular beauty such as lippia nodiflora and zoysia japonica, both selected for their resilience in maritime climates. A harmonious succession of edging and flower beds filled with multicoloured flowers and aromatic herbs frames the property, providing both visual splendour and practical inspiration for preparing dishes on the stone barbecue or in the brick oven. To the right of the entrance, a beautiful olive grove is suspended over a purple bed of verbena, while the wider park features cork trees, pines, broom, laurel, myrtle, strawberry trees, palms, and the full richness of Mediterranean scrub. A large circular car park is located at the entrance of the entirely fenced park. An external staircase leads to a roof terrace on the first floor, fully equipped as a solarium with sea views from which guests can admire unique sunsets. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of arrival.
The heated swimming pool is set just a few metres to the side of the house and is reached across the lawn. Rectangular in shape, it measures 1.80 x 3.40 metres with a constant depth of 0.70 metres above ground and is lined in sand-coloured PVC.

The atmosphere throughout is quiet and reserved, encouraging guests to spend long hours outdoors.
