About this property

Farmhouse apartment. Tuscany. Etruscan Coast, close to beach, sea view

This is an ideal summer holiday rental, part of a classic stone Tuscan farmhouse. The house offers magnificent views of the Tuscan hills and to the front of the Tyrrhenian coast stretching as far as the Corsica Island. It is close to the unspoiled romantic beaches around “ Golfo di Baratti “, Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, Casale Marittimo and historical sites and towns such as Pisa, Siena, Volterra, St. Gimignano, Lucca, Firenze.
The house has been fully and authentically restored with traditional local material and provides a comfortable, self catering stay for a family sleeping 4 people or for a couple. The setting is unique, sun drenched olive groves, the smell of the wild time and herbs in the summer, the clusters of wild flowers in the spring, the clear unpolluted air, and will give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in a lifestyle of dreams.


Trekking, mountain bike, Buddhism and more: Walk for miles along ancient tracks and stop to take in the breathtaking scenes that open up in front of you.
Bring your mountain bike if you are the sporty type, or enjoy new free roads among the fields on your motorbike, visit and enjoy birdwatching in the WWF protected natural area of the Lake of S. Luce.
Walk to the local Buddhist Centre of Pomaia and share the spiritual peace of the place for a few hours, or go to the local markets and rediscover what food used to taste like.

Bees, horses and wild nature: Choose your favourite way to live the countryside: help with the “smielatura”, the collection of honey and try some of the scented honey for breakfast; watch our horses being groomed and prepared for a ride; discover wild orchids in the field around the farmhouse; watch the red sun set from your porch sipping a glass of wine; take up painting.
Or simply watch the huge sky at night and myriads of stars and constellations.

History and beaches: Historical sites and towns The farmhouse is favorably positioned to visit some amongst the most beautiful towns in Tuscany: Pisa, Siena, Volterra, S. Gimignano, Lucca, Firenze and the traditional villages of Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci, Casale Marittimo. Nestled within the “ Golfo di Baratti “ lays the necropoli etrusca of Populonia, today part of the interesting “Parco Archeologico e Naturalistico.” »link Seaside and Beaches Over 20% of the Costa degli Etruschi comprises parks, protected areas, nature oases, and fauna reserves. Nature is not just a setting, but the very essence of this land with its dense stands of pine trees, woods and countryside rich with colours and scents; a temperate climate throughout the year, with particularly mild springs, long summers and infrequent rainfall during autumn/winter, makes for enjoyable holidays all year round.
If you are interested in diving we offer a 'one day' discovery experience or a full (5 days) PADI open water course.

Lovely place, fabulous hosts!
Marisa and Oswaldo’s house is an absolutely lovely place up in the hills, surrounded by nature. Marisa herself is the best you could ever hope for in a host. The house is quite isolated (a big plus for us), so if that’s not your thing, this might not be the best place for you. But if you love dark skies, butterflies, wild-flowers (in spring), friendliness (from Marisa) and dogs (all very friendly and great around kids) then you couldn’t really do better.

Wunderschönes toskanisches Ferienappartment
Das Haus ist sehr schön gelegen. Man erreicht es nur über einen Schotterweg von ca. 1km, der mit einem normalen Auto aber machbar ist. Internet und TV funktioniert nur bedingt. Ein Ort zum Abschalten und Natur genießen. Die Besitzer sind sehr nett, zuvorkommend und kinderfreundlich. Das Haus selber ist solide und hat die wichtigsten Dinge. Wir hatten dort eine schöne Zeit!

Perfekt für uns!
Meine Freundin und ich waren zum ersten Mal in dieser Unterkunft und werden mit Sicherheit wiederkommen. Zunächst waren wir etwas verunsichert aufgrund der schlechten Zugänglichkeit mit einem etwas tieferen Auto, da es sich doch um einen relativ Steilen nicht asphaltierten Weg handelt (letzte 500 m). Als wir aber dort waren wurden wir mit unglaublicher Herzlichkeit, Ruhe, Entspannung und einem perfekten Zuhause für einen Urlaub belohnt.

Ruhe und Erholung in einer kleinen Wohnung mit großen Garten und Sternennächten
Die Wohnung ist Ideal für eine Reise zu Zweit (auch mit Hund) ausgestattet. Es gibt ein sehr sehr bequemes Bett, eine zweckmäßige Küche und einen grandiosen Garten / Grundstück. Die Vermieterin wohnt mit am Objekt. Sie ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und angenehm zurückhaltend. Die Wohnung und das Grundstück sind sehr sehr sauber gewesen. Hundebesitzer sollten wissen, dass noch zwei Hunde mit vor Ort wohnen, sowie ein paar Katzen. Die Hunde kommen aber nicht in den Bereich der Wohnung. Die Anreise mit dem Auto ist spannend, da die letzten 500 Meter über einen Schotterweg führen - da gilt es wachsam vor Schlaglöchern zu fahren. Wir empfehlen die Anfahrt vom unteren Zuweg. Diese ist wesentlich besser. Das Haus liegt mitten im nirgendwo. Dementsprechend ist es den ganzen Tag extrem ruhig. Zum Strand gelangt man in ca. 30 Minuten. Wir empfehlen die Strände bei Marina di Cecina. Da gibt es einen sehr guten Hundestrand mit guten Parkmöglichkeiten. Insgesamt waren es erholsame ruhige Tage in der schönen Toskana.

We had two wonderful weeks!
My husband and I spent two weeks at The Ligoracce at the end of September and early October. It couldn't have been better! Marisa and her family are warm, friendly and helpful and made our stay very special. This is a studio apartment, but the accommodation is charming, spacious, clean and well-equipped. The location, very close to Castellina Marittima is perfect as a home base for visiting the many beautiful interesting places nearby dotted along the Tuscan coast and inland, although we found our favorite days were ones spent relaxing and enjoying all that The Ligoracce had to offer: Al fresco dining overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills, cycling along the many old country tracks or walking down with the borrowed dogs to the river. *The dogs loved it too), We helped Marisa harvest the figs and the berries, and enjoyed tomatoes fresh from their garden and the jam she made with the fruits! We look forward to visiting The Ligoracce this year and we’ll bring the grandchildren!

Young family from Hertfordshire England
We had a fantastic time at "le Ligoracce" The area is beautiful and tranquil and being immersed in "nature" helped us unwind immediately. My husband loves walking and he was spoilt for choices. My oldest one, nine was smitten by "Peppa" the beagle and the animals and she was even reluctant to leave them to go to the local beach for a daily dip. We manged to visit San Geminiano, Volterra and Populonia ( beautiful for swimming,but need to get there early for the most conformable places near the grass). The little ones loved running around and playing with water in the tub that Marisa had organized for them. Marisa was friendly and helpful and provided us with tasters of the local products that made us feel very welcomed and part of the community. We will return next year as we only had a week and it was not really long enough to see everything.

Peaceful location
Very quiet location in the hills, a long way from the road. Beautiful walks all around and superb restaurants a (steep) walk away. Walking back at night, we were greeted by a firefly display most evenings - spectacular! Marisa was very helpful with local information and spoke very good English! 15 minutes drive away from the coastal attractions, and an easy drive from Pisa. Plenty of unspoiled beaches within easy reach. The property itself was basic but very clean, and had a nice shower room.
