The villa has only one floor to guarantee maximum comfort, facing the large furnished outdoor terraces. An external staircase leads to the roof terrace on the first floor with a fully-equipped solarium with sea view from where you can admire unique sunsets, while enjoying a good glass of Tuscan wine.Villa Zaca is in an ideal strategic position: it satisfies bikers and hikers thanks to the many trails in the surroundings (Volterraio Castle, the Red Pond, the Path of Love, just to name a few).
