Tuscany Forever Residence is an example of the interesting architectural philosophy, which grows out of the spirit of Tuscany,  its colour of the earth and stones.  Energy saving houses are a contemporary interpretation of rural Tuscan farmhouse. The space created by the architect  allows to admire the hilly landscape of Volterra. Let yourself contemplate the world. Enjoy starry nights and feel a part of the Universe.

APETITO DI BELLEZZA

Even if you haven’t visited this part of Tuscany , you will certainly recognize its golden wheat fields punctuated by vineyards, olive groves and lofty cypress trees, as the backdrop to countless Renaissance frescos. The remote vale that stretches between the peak of Volterra and the etruscan coast. Situated among the villages , vineyards and golden hills of Tuscany .

This is no Disney-fied version of Tuscany . This is one of the glimpses of our  land . In spring, the fields are intense green with yellow spots of flowers. In summer, they are gold and black due to different kinds of wheat. This is an enchanting place, it seems from another planet. A hidden gem situated among the villages , vineyards and golden hills of Tuscany .This is a natural canyon several meters deep and surrounded by mosses and shrubs on the wet walls of the impressing rocks. All these things give rise to a magical place full of charm.

This is partly due to the strict conservation rules but also a debt is owed to Tuscany Forever collaboration with artists, designers and craft mans. The landscape, history and local character were essential to our version for Tuscany Forever, as such , the aesthetic is crisp, clean and comfortable .An expression of human creativity and taste for beauty .Involved with great sensitivity to create the art and great esteem to restoration. Wooden beams, flagstones, marble were all sourced in Italy. Hand crafted cotto floor.

Local ceramics line the shelves. From modernist porcelain collection to contemporary pieces.

Unique furniture pieces from antique markets along the whole Italy. Natural textiles, pure linen , stone from Sicily and...a lot of passion .
