Historic villa in the heart of Tuscany. Surrounded by nature.

Surrounded by nature as far as the eye can see, the beautiful Villa S.Ippolito (built in early 1800), with garden and a big swimming pool, has an authentic charme. The historic value of the house and its total privacy make this location a unique place to spend an unforgettable holiday.
The property (more than 6000 sq.Feet) develops in 2 levels. Ground floor: a big kitchen with fireplace, a storage room, a big dining room and three living rooms. Second Floor: on the right side there are 7 rooms with private bathroom; on the right side a living room (with frescos) and other 2 rooms who share a bigger bathroom. Total: 20 sleeping places (we can also provide extra baby beds).
Outside there is a garden - easy accessible by the kitchen - with a big table to eat outside, a terrace (with shade and a table tennis) and on the other side of the house a big old tree with another table. The swimming pool is 17x7 meters + a little pool for kids, fully equipped with sun and shade areas.
The entire property will be just for you: no neighbors, noises, etc… only privacy and relax; perfect for kids. The view from the swimming pool is astonishing, because it faces the natural reserve of Monterufoli, with hiking and hiking paths.
The Bicocchi family (owners of this house for 6 generations) will be there to welcome you and give you all the infos and tips about the area. There is also the possibility on request to have two ladies from the village nearby who can come and cook for you a traditional and tasty dinner with local products. In our land there is also a vegetable garden and the man in charge of it will provide you daily with fresh vegetables grown there.
In the area there are also thermal sources, the possibility to do ebike tours, a tennis court and many other outdoors activities. You will be surrounded by art and culture everywhere: the ancient cities of Tuscany (Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Pisa, Florence…) are all within 40 minutes to 1.30 hour by car; the seaside - beautiful beach of Baratti - is 50 minutes far. The little villages nearby, where you can go shopping, enjoy a nice walk, eat at very good restaurants, still have the authentic flavor of Tuscany, because this area is still not very touristic.
At S.Ippolito - owned by our family since 1800 - we produce olive oil and in the area you can find very good wine and excellent food.

Best Birthday ever
We were a big group of family and friends and really enjoyed our stay at Clementes property. There is a lot of space and Clemente was helpful and took care of our special requests. The view from the pool is spectacular. For my birthday the Nonna's from the village cooked dinner for as. They were so lovely and the food was very tasty. We had the best time.

Wonderful stay with beautiful views
We had such a lovely week. The house was amazing and the host was so helpful. We had two local ladies come and make a feast - definitely have them bring the local wine and dessert. Watching the sunset above the pool was wonderful and the ping pong table was a big hit with our teens. Getting there was a little tough and it was a little far away from some of the places we wanted to visit- not because they were far, but due to the winding roads that slow travel. To get there we mapped to the agritourism down the road then kept going into the gravel road and when there is a split with a lot of signs make a hard left and you can see the house with blue shutters at the end of the lane.

Back again for a 2nd visit!
After a lovely stay in 2019 we had originally booked to return in 2020, unfortunately Covid had other plans. We were so excited to arrive Aug 2022 and are so glad we did. This place is stunning. The photos or reviews do not do it justice! Thank you for letting us have another magical holiday in your beautiful home. 100%+ recommend.

80 th birthday
Everything was beyond fabulous! The house and surrounding grounds were charming and there were numerous areas to gather in smaller or larger groups. The pool was a big hit and the views were exquisite! We visited surrounding hill towns, both famous and those little known and were never disappointed. Everyone in our group, from ages 83-12 had a wonderful experience. We hired 2 women from the local area to cook for us, and they produced two gourmet Italian meals for the 21 of us. Both Roberto ( caretaker) and Thomaso responded immediately to any requests or needs. On a scale of 1-10, I would give it a 50! Far exceeded expectations!

Wonderful holiday
As a large family party of 16 including 8 grandchildren aged between 2 and 13 we needed a spacious holiday let with a good sized pool located away from the house enabling us to have a safe relaxing stay. Our expectations were met in every way , the house and pool were spotless , the furnishings were functional deterring any stress that may have been forthcoming from a toddlers reach and overall apart from roasting in the abnormal heat it was just a wonderful stay. We booked La Dispensa for lunch , the service there , quality of food and location was top notch. All in all a great holiday.

Lieu de vacances parfait pour une grande famille avec petits enfants
Nous avons vraiment apprécié ces vacances à Pomarance. Cela commence déjà avec le mail de Clemente reçu avant notre arrivée. Des détails sur comment arriver, quels magasins ouverts pour les premières courses, quels lieux à visiter dans les environs et dans la région, des adresses de restaurants… cela continue par l’accueil à l’arrivée, chaleureux et en français, la découverte de la maison sans luxe mais confortable, immense. Idéale pour passer des vacances en famille mais en respectant l’intimité de chacun. Un espace où les enfants sont rois, ils peuvent jouer, courir, crier quasi sans déranger les autres. Nous avons également apprécié les repas préparés par les « nonne » attentives aux préférences de chacun. La piscine est géniale surtout avec de touts petits-enfants. Bref, idéal pour des grandes familles ou des groupes. Seul petit bémol, les moustiques le soir. Munissez-vous de systèmes et de produits anti-moustiques 😉

Fin herrgård med fantastisk utsikt
Fantastisk herrgård med enorma ytor. Vi var som mest 17 personer. Vi bokade de 2 lokala damerna för att laga middag vi två tillfällen. Mycket gott och prisvärt. Härlig yta vid den stora poolen. Även trevligt att få olika grönsaker samt besöka husets stora köksträdgård. Köket är jättestort och alla rum har nyrenoverade badrum. Helt underbart ställe. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka.

A week in Tuscany
We were 3 generations(14 people) and thoroughly enjoyed our week as Clemente’s guest at his family’s historic farm. The setting is rural, away from the more touristy areas but we could travel around an hour to visit cities like Siena and Volterra. The fabulous meal prepared by the local ladies was a highlight as was the fresh produce provided daily from the garden. Clemente made us feel welcome and comfortable and was the perfect host.

La maison est spacieuse et bien agencée, quasiment chaque chambre possède sa propre salle de bain. La piscine est complètement sécurisée et il y a même un plus petit bassin pour les petits. Il y a également le potager. Et à environ 1h,m’en voiture Sienne et Volterra qui valent le coup d’œil.Clemente et Daria ont été très accueillants et disponibles. Bref super séjour!

Vakantiewoning in een Heren boerderij
het leuke vd vakantiewoning is dat het in een zeer rustige gebied ligt. De woning is een oud heren boerderij met alle voor en nadelen. Ga niet voor het grote comfort maar afgezien van dit is het ruim en aangenaam zelfs met een grote groep.

Tolle 14 Tage in der Fattoria S‘Ippolito
Mitte September habe ich mit meiner Familie (13 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder) in der Fattoria einen 14-tägigen Urlaub verbracht und meinen Geburtstag dort gefeiert. Alle, wirklich alle waren begeistert vom Haus, von den Außenbereichen, vom Swimmingpool und ganz besonders vom Vermieter CLEMENTE, von ROBERTO, der sich um Haus, Garten und Pool gekümmert hat und Robertos Frau GIOVANNA, die einige Male für uns gekocht hat. Das Haus ist ein sehr alter Gutshof. Hier haben früher einmal sehr viele Menschen gelebt und gearbeitet. Wir hatten eine uralte riesige Küche zur Verfügung, mit einem neuen großen 6-Flammen-Gas-Herd und einer Spülmaschine. Ansonsten war in der Küche alles überreichlich vorhanden. Im Vorratsraum hatten wir 2 Kühlschränke und eine Waschmaschine. Zimmer und Bäder haben den Charme des letzten Jahrhunderts, einfach und gemütlich, wir haben es geliebt. Das Esszimmer im Haus ist groß genug für alle Gäste. Es gibt mehrere Außenbereiche, besonders genutzt haben wir den Esstisch am Küchenausgang und ganz besonders den großen Tisch unter einem riesigen Baum, mit Sicht auf die Landschaft, den Pool und ganz speziell beim Sonnenuntergang. Der Pool ist sehr groß und ein Kinderbecken ist ebenfalls vorhanden. Der gesamte Poolbereich ist eingezäunt, gut für Eltern mit kleinen Kindern. Unser Vermieter Clemente war außerordentlich hilfreich in jeder Beziehung. Wir konnten ihn anrufen, wann immer wir eine Frage hatten. Roberto hat sich jeden Tag um Haus und Pool gekümmert und uns mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten versorgt. Seine Tomaten sind die welt-besten. Giovanna hat 3 mal für die ganze Truppe gekocht und es war jedesmal ein Erlebnis. Und soviel, dass wir auch am nächsten Tag nochmal davon essen konnten. In der Umgebung gibt es einige gut Restaurants, besonders möchte ich hier das „Ristorante La Dispena“ erwähnen. Super Küche und gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Alles in allem war es ein wunderschöner und unvergesslicher Urlaub, der Alle begeistert hat. Mein Dank geht an Clemente, Roberto und Giovanna, Ihr seid super! Wir kommen wieder, so schnell wie möglich!

Two weeks in Tuscany
A lovely country Tuscan farmhouse which in its hey day must have been amazing. Painted ceilings, ornate decorations, magnificent rooms. Obviously still a much loved and treasured family home. There were 17 of us, 10 adults and 7 children with a total age range of 3-72. This was our first family get together as 6 live in Australia. Tomaso emailed with loads of info. We had two meals cooked by local grandmothers, absolutely first class, so much delicious food! The pool area was much used, the weather very good. The showers in some of the rooms ran a bit hot and cold depending on the numbers using. Our only real bug bear was the tiny two slice toaster, but you could of course use the grill in the oven. We loved eating the produce Roberto brought us from the garden. All our grandchildren said it was the best holiday.

Highly recommend - stunning villa
We were a party of adults with children, ages ranging from teenagers to toddlers and there was something for everyone. There was ample amount of space for everyone - to enjoy time together but to also have our own space. Each room came with an en suite or bathroom close by. On arrival, the sight of the villa and the surroundings was jaw dropping, absolutely stunning. The exclusive use of the pool, with the background of the Tuscan hills was beautiful. We took advantage of the dinner made by the local grandmothers. The quality and quantity of the food was incredible, so much so, that we booked them again! Tommaso and his wife Olga were always available to help with any queries. They were extremely helpful and welcoming, giving us an interesting tour and history of the land. Roberto also provided us with the most delicious vegetables from their allotment. They were very generous. There was a local pizzeria only 7mins drive, where we had take away pizza and some lovely wine. We visited Pomarance, the waterfall and Pisa but we only just scratched the surface; there is still so much to explore. We highly recommend this villa and will no doubt be booking again.
