The setting is truly extraordinary with expansive views of the sea and outer Tuscan islands along with breathtaking sunsets. The house itself was clean and well maintained. Access to main roadways into the heart of Tuscany is close by and allowed for easy travel to the towns we had planned to visit….Cinque Terre, Florence, Lucca, Volterra, Bolgheri, and Elba.

When searching for a place to rent in Tuscany, we found a beautiful villa on the Etruscan coast. This was a completely different location than what we had in mind, originally thinking of the iconic hill towns and lush valleys for which Tuscany is well known. Realizing that the coastal property was approximately an hour or two from many of the hill towns, the location offered the sea and access to the towns we were planning to visit. As is the case with renting via the internet, almost all properties are photographed to look their best and have enticing narratives which describe all of what they have to offer. When arriving at this property, we held our collective breath hoping that it looked as it did in the photos and was as spectacular as we had imagined. It was all that and more! The setting is truly extraordinary with expansive views of the sea and outer Tuscan islands along with breathtaking sunsets. The house itself was clean and well maintained. Access to main roadways into the heart of Tuscany is close by and allowed for easy travel to the towns we had planned to visit….Cinque Terre, Florence, Lucca, Volterra, Bolgheri, and Elba. The proprietors of the property were extremely friendly and helpful with reservations, directions and other recommendations in the general area. We strongly suggest hiring the chef who often prepares meals at the house. In addition to his food being delicious, having evening meals waiting at the house made the daily trips to other areas carefree and more enjoyable. We strongly recommend this property for your stay in Italy!

The departure was fast, so I tell you in this way a big thank you for staying at the villa.The kids were happy and told me, they had never stayed in such a beautiful house. Greetings from cold and raining Zurich.

Incredible week stay at this charming, authentic villa hideaway in a sleepy village town on the coast of Tuscan Italy. One mile to town with great restaurants and shops. The owner/caretaker is extremely helpful with suggestions such as a private chef or local tour guide. The view of the ocean and access to salt water private pool are truly unparalleled.
