Immaculate design offering peaceful relaxation.
La Civettaia, a traditional `Casa Colonica’, offers sophisticated comfort. Enjoy spectacular 360º views of rolling Tuscan landscape. International class Castelfalfi golf course (2km). Only 48 km from Pisa airport.
Feature barrel vaulted ceilings are in spacious entrance hall, elegant Salotto and dining room decorated with superb murals, all open to terraces and garden. A study combines family television room, complemented by a large well-equipped kitchen. Spacious bedrooms with bathrooms en suite includes a tower bedroom, ‘La Colombaia,’ with spectacular views.
Formal terrace plantings lead down to a swimming pool (15m x 5m) dramatic when floodlit that adjoins the Fienile Guest Annexe.
What we think: We love this very private and beautiful house with its far reaching views of the surrounding countryside. Bedrooms are all comfortable and well furnished with good bathrooms and there are lovely sitting areas inside and out. The newly designed 27-hole Golf Course at Castelfalfi is a few minutes’ drive from the house. Florence is not too far away and we suggest catching the train from Pontedera. The English speaking staff will ensure you have a relaxing time.
The house is for a maximum of 12 people.

Testimonials
First of all thank you and to everyone at PPA for yet another fantastic holiday at la Civettaia. We had a great time – the house is really special and Hilly and Christian are brilliant. We will be in touch soon to try and book early again for next year!………………………………………………………………………………2023
Just to say we LOVED la Civettaia and had an amazing holiday. Hilly and Christian looked after and fed us so well. It was a real treat. Please can you pass on the owners what a great time we had and what a fantastic job Hilly and Christian did……………………………………………………………………..2022
We had a lovely time at La Civettaia and we cannot thank you enough for all your help arranging everything in such a difficult travel year……………..2021
Just to say we LOVED the house and had an amazing holiday. Hilly and Christian looked after and fed us so well. It was a real treat…………..2022
Oh!! We cannot begin to tell you what wonderful memories (and many pounds) we brought back with us from La Civettaia.
We will do everything we can possibly do to get back to that beautiful home with Hilly and Cristian. We are glad to report that there is not a single thing we can think of to improve the property or our experience. Hilly and Cristian were delightful and thought of every want before we knew there was one. They were so charming and professional and gently resisted our efforts to adopt them into the family. As locals, they were so helpful setting up or tracking down a wide variety of restaurant and activity requests with terrific recommendations or bookings.
The house and pool area are brilliantly laid out to accommodate the 11 of us – which is not an easy thing to do. Except for a few sessions catching up on work, we rarely stayed inside, but it was well outfitted so that we could have stayed indoors if needed…………2019
Thank you for a most fabulous holiday, it was complete heaven. We are already looking at dates to return in 2020. Hilly and Christian are marvellous hosts, great company and looked after us so well…………2019
Private Properties Staff… I just wanted to thank you for such a lovely experience at IT507 last week in Tuscany. It was truly a piece of paradise!! Hilly and Christian were the absolute best!! We look forward to our next visit!! Again, many thanks for such a great recommendation………2016
