A restored country house in the medieval hamlet of Prata, with two independent apartments, large panoramic terraces, an exclusive pool and hot tub, and the authentic soul of the Maremma.
Podere La Terrazza sits on the edge of Prata, a stone hamlet in the hills of the Metalliferous Hills, part of the municipality of Massa Marittima. The farmhouse has been carefully furnished in the style and taste of the Maremma: terracotta floors, warm woods, wrought iron and colours borrowed from the surrounding countryside. The perfect place to retreat to after a day at the sea, exploring medieval villages, walking or cycling — and enjoy a quiet, refreshing evening in the hills.
The property is divided into two independent apartments — living room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms each — and each has its own private water space: one has the swimming pool, the other the outdoor hot tub. From the large terraces the view sweeps over the valley between Prata and Boccheggiano and, on clear days, reaches all the way to the Island of Elba and Monte Amiata. Perfect for one family, or for two travelling together while keeping their own space.
From Prata you can reach the beaches of the Gulf of Follonica in about half an hour — including the wild, walk-in-only cove of Cala Violina — and in the other direction the medieval piazzas of Massa Marittima, the geothermal landscapes of Monterotondo, the abbey of San Galgano and, a little further, Siena and Volterra.
Sea in the morning, dinner in the medieval villages at night: that is the Maremma way.

"Excellent location, cool, with a pool and 25 minutes from the sea at Follonica. I am sure it is thoroughly enjoyable and picturesque in winter too; modern, practical interiors. The hosts are extremely kind, wonderful people! We will certainly be back!"

Alain — Airbnb"The house has just been renovated, it is very clean and has everything you need for a quiet retreat in the cool of the hills above Massa Marittima. The sea is about half an hour away by car, but the apartment's pool is enough for a dip when you wake up or at sunset."
Luca — Airbnb"Really a great place to stay. Our holiday was all about relaxing in the sun and by the pool. A fantastic setting and an incredibly kind host, always ready to help with any question. The house is beautifully renovated and has excellent comforts."
