About this place
This beautifully renovated four-bedroom villa is located in the complex of Podere Le Volpaie, set within a beautifully restored 9th-century farmhouse. Renovated to the highest standards in 2008, the property features a blend of traditional charm and modern comforts, including chestnut beams, terracotta floors, and air conditioning. Spread over two floors, the villa includes four spacious bedrooms, one with an ensuite, and two large lounge rooms that can serve as additional bedrooms. There are also two generous living and kitchen areas, alongside a small private garden offering stunning views of Montecatini and the distant Metalliferous Mountains.
The idyllic setting of the villa allows access to a communal pool just a short stroll away. Each floor was originally designed as a separate apartment, adding to the extensive accommodation options available. The villa is fully furnished with carefully selected Tuscan decor, alongside unique ceramic panels that celebrate the region's rich history. The shared courtyard enhances the property’s allure, reinforcing the quiet and peaceful atmosphere of the complex.
Montecatini Val di Cecina boasts rich history and is close to Volterra, known as the alabaster capital of Italy. With nearby attractions like Florence, Pisa, and Siena all within 70 minutes' drive, this villa serves as a perfect base for exploring the beauty of Tuscany while enjoying the tranquil countryside lifestyle.

Open in Google MapsBuying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.

Get a codice fiscale
Italian tax code — apply at any Agenzia delle Entrate office or an Italian consulate abroad. Free and fast.
- 2
Make a proposta d'acquisto
Written purchase proposal with a small deposit (typically €1,000–€5,000). Binding on the buyer for an agreed period; becomes binding on both parties when the seller accepts.
- 3
Due diligence
Geometra or lawyer checks cadastral records, planning compliance (conformità urbanistica), title, and any debts or mortgages attached to the property.
- 4
Sign the compromesso (preliminare)
Preliminary contract with a deposit of 10–20% (caparra confirmatoria). If buyer withdraws they forfeit it; if seller withdraws they pay double.

Final searches by the notaio
Notaio runs title and mortgage searches at the Conservatoria dei Registri Immobiliari and prepares the final deed.
- 6
Sign the rogito (atto di compravendita)
Final deed signed at the notaio's office (or by power of attorney). Balance paid, taxes paid, keys handed over.

Registration
Notaio registers the deed with the tax authority and land registry within 30 days.
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties. The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits. Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
