Stunning 4 Bedroom Costal Villa, Italy

Some homes just make you pause at the entryway. This villa in Quercianella does that. There's a quiet in the air and you can hear the whisper of the sea if you listen. You almost feel the age of the place right away too. The villa was built in the early part of the last century by Count Rosolino Orlando and it still has that old Tuscan soul but it feels pretty easy to just imagine daily life here now. The main rooms flow the kind of way that makes you want to slow down and settle in. Two living rooms sit on different sides, so there is always a sunny spot if you want it. One of them has an old stone fireplace that is actually still working. Honestly I spent a minute or two just standing by that fireplace wondering how many stories and quiet evenings it must have had already. It is the kind of spot where you could actually enjoy a chilly Italian evening with something good to drink and maybe friends around.

The dining area is big but not formal. It feels right for family meals or even one of those long lunches that just keep going into the afternoon when someone brings out more bread. The kitchen is tucked off one side and has enough space to cook real meals. Sometimes you walk into a house and the kitchen is more for show but this one feels like it wants something bubbling on the stove. The bedrooms have actually surprised me. Four in total and each one has its own shape and view. They don't all look the same. There are also four bathrooms and they have been updated recently so you get that fresh, clean feeling without losing the style. The floors are worth mentioning too. You have this colourful terracotta and even bits of Caltagirone tile and old marble that catch the light just right. It just ties the house to Tuscany in a way that photographs do not really catch.

Now the garden is something else. It is south facing so you get long days of sun. Sometimes you catch a bit of a breeze from the sea. The garden itself looks out over the countryside and then beyond that you get a stretch of blue sea that just keeps going. If it is clear you can see all the way to Elba. You will probably find yourself walking out there in the morning with your coffee just to take it all in or at sunset when the light goes soft over the water. Birds show up in the greenery and you just sort of forget your phone after a while. The villa sits just a short distance from the centre of Quercianella itself which is a quiet town south of Livorno. It is close enough to Castiglioncello that you can head there for dinner or a day at the beach. People are always out walking or heading to the local markets and you will notice that everyone seems to know each other.

Living here puts you just a short walk from the coast. Only five hundred meters or so and you are looking at that wild Tuscan shoreline. If you like being near the water, whether it's just watching the waves or heading out for sailing or swimming, honestly it does not get much better than this. The lifestyle stays relaxed no matter the season. In summer, families head down to the water. In winter, you might find yourself enjoying a slower pace with good food never too far away. The area has some of Tuscany's best little restaurants. You could spend afternoons finding new favourites or just sticking to an easy coffee at a place where people remember your name.

For the price you get a big plot with more than enough space for a garden party or, if you have kids, a bit of running around. It works well as a home but honestly there are also people here who use these villas as little boutique businesses or guest homes. The old walls hold a kind of charm you do not find everywhere. Some places just let you breathe a bit more easily.

The only way to know if a home in Tuscany is right for you is to come see it and take your time. If you want to ask questions or stroll through the villa let us know anytime.
