Villa Bel Sogno - Beautiful View Of Volterra And The Countryside.

Bel Sogno, a "beautiful dream".....we hope you will feel the same way after spending time in our Italian home. We visited Italy 12 years in a row, exploring so many areas of this incredible country. Our favourite place was Tuscany, and after so many years we decided to create our own home away from home. The views captivated us, and after looking at 400 houses on line, and over 25 in person...this was our favourite by a mile! It checked every box on our wish list and the view exceeded anything we had seen. It continues to captivate us... still in love.

Near the ancient hill town of Volterra, surrounded by the green Tuscan countryside is Villa Bel Sogno. Part of Borgo Collevicchi, we are on the top of a hill in the heart of Tuscany with breathtaking views of nearby valleys. This newly restored farm outbuilding contains our apartment. Our apartment is surrounded by landscaped gardens & cypress trees, all reflective of the perfect Tuscan landscape. It has all the modern amenities yet captures the Tuscan feel of architecture and design.

Each of the two well appointed bedrooms has it's own air conditioner to provide comfort during the hot summer nights. To enjoy nature's gentle breezes, bug screens on metal tracks have been installed to allow the double doors to remain open without letting in nature's tiny creatures.

Enjoy beautiful dreams on our pillow top mattresses in both bedrooms. The master bedroom features 2 extra long twin beds that can connect to form a King size bed or be enjoyed separately. The master also has an en-suite bathroom. The second bedroom has a Queen bed. The living room has a pullout queen size sofa bed. There is a second full bathroom available for guests.

The kitchen features a gas stove, oven, dishwasher and full fridge. The apartment also features a washing machine with a private courtyard to air dry your laundry. The entire apartment is on the ground level and has no stairs, easy for small children or guests with mobility issues.

Enjoy al fresco dining under your pergola in your private garden while savoring the panoramic views of Volterra. After dinner, enjoy a glass of wine on the outdoor couch and then take in the sunset from the pool deck.

A panoramic pool makes the borgo an even more special & relaxing place after a day of sightseeing in Tuscany. The pool is open from June 1st to September 30th and is 8 metres by 4 metres.

Tuscan Treasure
We truly loved our stay at Bel Sogno. We stayed 5 nights with friends and did not want to leave. The Villa was beautifully decorated and the kitchen was well stocked. Luigi the property manager was available for questions and communication was very easy. We enjoyed our dinners and breakfast at his nearby agriturismo. The town of Volterra was lovely and we enjoyed our drives through the Tuscan countryside. But the best part of our entire stay was the time we spent on the lovely patio enjoying the beautiful view. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful property!

Truly magical
Eric and Tania’s villa was truly a delight to stay in. My bestie and I each had our own comfortable bedroom and our own bathroom as well. The views were amazing in every direction and Luigi makes delicious cappuccinos. We rented a car in Florence very easily and had no trouble finding Santa Victoria. Eric and Tania provided tons of great local gems for us to check out. Highly recommend Villa Bel Sogno!

10 magical days in Tuscany!
Our stay at Eric and Tania’s Tuscan treasure was beyond our expectations! Lovely, well appointed villa overlooking magnificent scenery in the Tuscan hills with Volterra in the background. Every aspect (reservations, check in, communications, responsiveness from owners, villa amenities) were top notch! This location gave excellent access to so many areas of Tuscany within day drives, and for those evenings that you want to park the car, a very short walk across the parking lot leads you to Luigi’s panoramic restaurant. Delicious food! The large pool area was wonderful to spend an afternoon at, and our private terrace for evening drinks and dining was even better. We would highly recommend Eric and Tania’s beautiful Tuscan Villa, so well situated at Borgo Collevicchi!

Beautiful location with great views of Tuscany hills
The apartment was well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing on the apartments patio soaking up the countryside views. Quick and easy check in and great communication with hosts. Highly recommend if you are looking for a home base to explore Tuscany or just a quiet place to relax. We did eat at the agriturismo restaurant across the way and it was amazing. Highly recommend this apartment.

Beautiful Bel Sogno
We had another beautiful holiday at Bel Sogno - this was our second stay. It was again very clear it was a good decision to come back. Everywhere you look is just beautiful - feels like you’ve jumped into a painting. The apartment is very comfortable and has everything you need. The pool is wonderful and refreshing in the August heat. This trip we drove all the way from the uk, this was 2 days of driving, we were pretty exhausted but within the first few hours we felt completely relaxed and this is due to the environment and beautiful surroundings. Dinners at Luigi’s (on site) are great quality along with beautiful sunsets. We LOVE Volterra - to us just as nice if not nicer than some of a larger more famous towns but without the crowds. We enjoyed paninis for lunch from a little sandwich shop just off of the main square (which always has a queue) they were delicious along with the kids to favourite gelato spots - chic & Shock or L'isola del Gusto. Hosts are very responsive to any queries and welcoming to their home. We can’t wait to come back again - Volterra and Bel Sogno are very special.

Magical week in Tuscany
We stayed at Bel Sogno for a week to attend a wedding near Volterra. It was a magical time. The views from the property were stunning. The outdoor space was amazing and the indoor spaces were comfortable and well-furnished. We made cappuccinos daily to enjoy with croissants that we purchased from the nearby farmhouse. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-appointed and the house attractively furnished. I'm still thinking about our time there. This stay was a perfect getaway after a hectic week in Rome and Florence—our thanks to hosts Tania and Eric and manager Luigi for the perfect Tuscan retreat.

Comfort and serenity
This rental has everything you could possibly need and more. It was so comfortable, we felt like we were in our own home. But the bonus was an incredible view and the location. We definitely recommend having Arianna and Friends come to the house for cooking class. It has been the highlight of our trip so far. Eric and Tania were amazing at communicating frequently and whenever we had questions. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay.

Beautiful place - old world charm with modern amenities
We absolutely loved our stay in this home. After having spent time in both Rome and Florence, some time here was just what we needed to relax and re-charge. We shopped at the local market and enjoyed cooking in the newly remodeled kitchen with updated appliances. We enjoyed coffee in the morning and took in the beautiful views of the Tuscan countryside around us. The home was also centrally located to give us an opportunity to take some wonderful day trips to places like San Gimignano and Pisa. The owner and property management were very responsive and helpful with anything that came up. We hope we are lucky enough to return here for another visit some time.

Bel Sogo is more than a beautiful dream!
We loved every minute of our stay at this comfortable villa. Correspondence regarding our stay was easy and replies were immediate and very thorough. The decor was lovely and comfortable for our group of four. Outdoor space is large, we loved spending time there on a very warm October week. Pool was still open and was a special treat. The property itself is stunning and our sunsets were spectacular. We ate twice at Luigi's restaurant, both meals were delicious! Our children surprised us with a meal there for our 46th wedding anniversary and we will never forget it. We are so grateful we found this special place and recommend it highly.

Beautiful Bel Sogno
We had a wonderful time at Bel Sogno. The apartment is very comfortable, bedding, sheets etc all wonderful quality. Our kids loved the soft blankets. The high tiled ceilings and relaxing colours in bedrooms were very restful. The apartment remained cool even without use of the air conditioning but for added coolness on hot days the air conditioning worked really quickly and well. Plenty of cooking equipment and lots of seating options outside. Sitting on the terrace just taking in the changing colours of the view was beautiful. Dinner at Luigi’s (on site) was great if you prefer not to drive out. We also went to Volterra most days and one morning for breakfast which was gorgeous. The whole surrounding area is stunning to look at. The set up at the pool works well, with each property having their own spot and sun beds. 70% of the time we would have the pool to ourselves - it never felt at all busy. We had 2 children with us (10 & 11) who also enjoyed their stay very much. We visited Siena, Florence and Val de Elsa along with Volterra most days for Gelato! Wish we had stayed a little longer. Our recommendation would be to fly to Pisa rather than Florence. Florence has a short run way and sometimes if it’s windy they divert to Pisa anyway. We flew to Florence but would definitely switch to Pisa next time. We had a great week and would love to come back again.
