Villa Gran Burrone - Toscana

28/09/2026

A year ago, this doorway held a studded oak door. It was beautiful, but it was shut to the light for most of the day.

We kept the pointed stone arch exactly as the masons left it centuries ago and fitted it with slender steel-framed glass. Now the bedroom looks straight out to the steps, the pool and the Apuan Alps beyond.

Last week we added the final touch: a hand-blown Murano chandelier, with leaves of amber, cobalt and ruby hanging beneath chestnut beams.

It took a year of patient work, and the room finally feels finished.

We are available for the rest of the year only for - so hurry if you want to stay with us during the festival. The pool will be closed at that time.

If you miased us this year, reservations are now open between May and Sept 2027.

This doorway once led to a forgotten storage corner of the 11th-century villa.

Now it opens onto a modern bath, a new glass door, and the best pool view in the house.

Eight hundred years on, some walls just needed the right reason to be used again.

We’ve converted this boring basement space into an exciting where meets old stone walls.

The bedroom that goes with it opens directly to the pool and the view looks too beautiful to be true.

But it’s real! Imagine waking up here on a summer morning!

A year ago we decided to convert this poolside room into our fourth bathroom and bedroom.

The room housed a washing machine - what a waste of gorgeous space.

Now we’re done! We picked a minimalist bathtub and wash basin, and travertine tiles to contrast the rustic Tuscan walls. Fantastic lights will be added soon, including a top-notch Murano lamp.

This bedroom has the greatest views! And is just a step away from our pool.
