Breath in the clean fresh air, finally away from the city lights and pollution. Experience the most peaceful and wonderful countryside sunsets unlike anywhere else. The silence and the darkness of the sky at night full of twinkling stars...you might be able to make a wish upon a shooting star!
BIG PRIVATE GARDEN AND POOL
The garden and pool are totally private. Unlike other properties in the Maremma area, ours is exclusively for you, as we do not live on the premises and there will be no other guests apart from you. The pool is accessible from 15 June to 15 September.
ROOMS
You will find two large double bedrooms and one smaller double bedroom. Two big bathrooms plus one extra small bathroom. Linen is provided and is free.
THE PATIOS AND THE GARDEN
Two shady patios outside, with a large dining table and deckchairs, allow you to sit back and relax whilst sipping a nice glass of red Tuscan wine - perhaps a nice Morellino di Scansano with a few slices of Pecorino cheese - watching the sunset with your friends or simply contemplating the smooth green hills in peace.
The garden has no fence around it, so the view on the horizon is completely open - and for this reason we'd rather not accept pets, unless you are absolutely sure they will not run after a hare or a pheasant!
INTERIOR
The house in Guinzoni is a mixture of modern and country style.
Perfect for a big family or for a small group of friends (max 6 adults + 1 cot). The bedrooms are 3 and the bathrooms are 2 + 1 small extra bathroom, so a total of maximum 6 people can comfortably sleep here.
The spacious living room has large French glass windows, which allow you to view the whole garden and country hills whilst comfortably sitting indoors and from the bedrooms too.
The kitchen, dining and living area are all in one open space. There is a big dining table inside surrounded by big windows overlooking the lemon and orange trees. It's lovely to sit in front of the fireplace during the low season!
THE AREA
The house is very quiet and is in the middle of the country with only a few neighbors around. The Tuscan coast is not far, about 20 minutes drive. And the closest bar/supermarket is only 5km away, but you will always need a car to get there.
DAY TRIPS
There is a variety of day trips you can go on:
Saturnia: free entry natural spa (bring reef shoes)
Magliano: restaurants and views
Capalbio: restaurants, boutique-shops
Orbetello: near the lagoon, shopping
Pitigliano: beautiful, carved out of the rock
These are all about 30 minutes away and the roads to get there are full of breathtaking views. The natural hot thermal waterfalls of Saturnia are free and only 30km away.
SIENA/PISA/LUCCA/ROME/FLORENCE
Siena is 1h40mins away. Florence, Pisa, Lucca are 2h30mins and Rome is 2 hours away, by car or by train from Albinia station - which is 25 minutes away by car. A car is always necessary in Maremma.
PLEASE NOTE
There is no air conditioning: the house is well isolated so it is warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. We do our best to be environment-friendly. In the countryside there are mosquitoes, you will need mosquito repellent! You may also find wasps, spiders, lizards and sometimes dormice.
It is important to know that in Tuscany there are vipers, poisonous snakes. We have only seen one once in our garden in 10 years. You might see a hare, pheasants and woodpeckers.
