Apartments Lajatico | In Andrea Bocelli’s home village…

The Residence Lajatico Apartments is typically Tuscan and sits majestically on a ridge surrounded by olive trees. The garden with heated pool offers a breathtaking view of the rolling hills of the Valdera all the way to Volterra. The Lajatico apartments come from a former farmhouse that was recently renovated. A total of eight apartments have been built, five of which are used by the owners themselves as holiday residences, the remaining three are reserved for holiday guests. The comfortably furnished apartments each have their own outdoor area with garden furniture and can accommodate two, four or six people. The property is central in the small town lajatico located, which looks back on a long history. Records show that the origins can be found in the late 8th century. The architectural splendor of some patrician villas in the town and the surrounding area still bear witness to the wealth of their owners. In addition, Lajatico is the birthplace of the famous singer Andrea Bocelli, who gives a concert performance every year together with other artists in the nearby Teatro del Silenzio, which has now become a tradition. From the accommodation you can easily walk to a number of excellent restaurants as well as pretty little shops where you will receive a friendly welcome and stock the essentials for your daily needs. There are horse riding opportunities nearby and several golf courses, including one of the best in Tuscany (Castelfalfi), less than 30 minutes away by car. It will take you about the same time to reach the Tyrrhenian coast with its beautiful beaches. Lajatico is located directly on the wine route. The Valdera area is known as the Pisan Chianti region because of the many excellent wine producers in this area. No other part of Tuscany offers such a central location for reaching the most beautiful places in this region rich in attractions. Nearby, for example, is tempting. For example, in the well-kept small spa town of Casciane Terme, you can take a bath in the 37 degree warm, salty volcanic water, whose healing spring, according to legend, was already valued by Matilde di Canossa in the Middle Ages. Tuscan art and culture magnets such as Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, San Gimignano and Lucca are all less than an hour's drive from the Lajatico holiday apartments.
