Ulivi, nr Magliano in Toscana
The Maremma must be one of Italy’s most captivating and yet relatively unknown areas. Once known as the domain for cowboys, the countryside of the Maremma is wild and unspoilt with its hills rolling endlessly into the distance and the occasional hilltop fortressed town on the horizon.
Set in the midst of this scenery and yet only twenty minutes from Porto Ercole and the wonderful Argentario coast, is Ulivi, a beautifully renovated stone house, completely private and furnished to the highest levels. The owners have blended old and new meticulously with terracotta flooring and soft green doors and shutters throughout. Antique furniture, combined with warm fabrics and furnishings and a large open fireplace create an exceptionally comfortable and tasteful home.
Upstairs the master suite benefits from a beamed ceiling with paddle fan, fireplace and private terrace as well as a wonderfully spacious bathroom with separate Jacuzzi shower area. All bedrooms enjoy ensuite bathrooms and views across the surrounding hills. The covered terrace leading from the sitting room provides excellent outside dining with wooden and iron furniture and a long table for those sumptious Tuscan dinners.
Walking down a gentle slope across the lawn one reaches the pool with gazebo – a haven where one can relax and enjoy the calm and tranquillity of this very special home. An ideal retreat for a group of adults looking for rest in the countryside and yet proximity to the nearby sandy beaches and gentle “buzz” of Porto Ercole.
