Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

You’ll find this restored Tuscan farmhouse nestled in the Livorno countryside, surrounded by hills and woodland – it’s a true escape back to nature. With interiors that seamlessly blend a contemporary style with the traditional bones of the house, it’s a welcoming retreat for large groups of family or friends. Outdoors, the private pool, shaded dining spots and sun-kissed terraces provide the perfect place to gather together and socialise. Locally, the small town of Gabbro, boasting a range of shops and restaurants, is just three kilometres away, or you can drive a little further to explore Castiglioncello, Livorno or Pisa.
