The countryside around Volterra unfolds in wooded valleys and olive groves, with the ancient town rising above the hills. It is a beautiful backdrop to life at Podere la Mora, where morning coffee comes with far-reaching views and the changing light gives good reason to linger at home. The original local stone of the villa lends warmth and character to the house, while its bold architecture offers something rather different from the traditional Tuscan farmhouse.
Inside, the style is contemporary and understated, with broad panes of glass drawing daylight into the living spaces. The open arrangement is particularly sociable: preparing lunch in the kitchen need not interrupt a conversation around the kitchen island or on the large sofa. Brushed black granite gives the kitchen a handsome finish, while a fireplace makes evenings indoors equally appealing. In the bedrooms, views of the garden and countryside offer a gentle start to the morning while a separate fitness room is on hand for a morning workout and stretch while admiring the views.
