Ulivi

Shops and restaurants, golf and tennis, sailing and diving, and protected parkland are all within about 30km of this remarkable house. Thermal baths, sandy beaches and offshore islands are just a little further. Prestigious vineyards are within easy reach and even sumptuous Siena is within reach for a day trip. Yet this lovely very private villa, in the heart of Tuscany’s picturesque Maremma hills, tempts its guests to simply wind-down to its tranquil tempo. The spacious stone villa nestles in tree-shaded gardens, its cool interiors furnished in elegant but very comfortable country house style. The first floor is occupied by four charming bedrooms, all typically styled with ornate iron beds, bentwood chairs and eclectic artworks. Three have en suite shower room, and the master suite is complete with air conditioning, a private terrace and wonderfully spacious bathroom. On the ground floor a big and beautiful sitting room opens out to a covered terrace, furnished as al fresco living areas, a superb spot for a cocktail or after dinner drink. At the opposite end of the house, the dining area opens to a beautiful dining terrace with pergola. The very attractive country kitchen with pantry area is superbly equipped. And just an easy stroll down a grassy path from the house, a swimming pool is splashed by a little frog fountain and set in level lawns with smart furniture and a shady pergola with table and chairs. Ulivi offers additional cook service and is just 4km from restaurants in Magliano in Toscana.
