A 13th-century estate in the Tuscan hills, this villa has been transformed in ways that earn a double take – its former church is now a living space with a suspended corten steel fireplace, a dining table cut from a single tree trunk, and an ancient Etruscan baptismal font preserved beneath a glass floor.

Outside, over 40 hectares of private woodland stretch away from the pool terrace, with Volterra's Etruscan hilltop a sixty-three-minute drive and the Bolgheri wine region within reach.
