Villa Riziero
Villa Riziero is a beautiful and elegant retreat, located on a small hill, 155 meters above sea level, overlooking the enchanting Tuscan countryside near Volterra. Surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, the villa retains the authentic charm and atmosphere characteristic of the region. Originally built in the 19th century in the refined Liberty style, the villa has been carefully restored while retaining its original architectural features, such as vaulted ceilings, frescoes and antique furniture. Combining historic elegance with modern comforts, this stunning property offers guests a serene and luxurious Tuscan experience.
The villa features a large outdoor lodge with a pergola draped with centuries-old wisteria, perfect for alfresco dining, as well as a panoramic garden and swimming pool. From here, guests can enjoy sweeping views of the vineyards, olive groves, and the town of Volterra. The nearby town of Fabbrica, with all the necessary shops, is within walking distance.
