Description

The Tyrrhenian Sea, the hills of Uccellina, Mount Argentario promontory and the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago are just some of the beauties that can be admired from the elegant villa built in the 11th century on a bluff in Maremma, close to Orbetello (Grosseto).

As the many finds that have been found in the surroundings demonstrate, the area of the villa was already inhabited at the time of the Etruscans. When the villa was built, however, it was the Aldobrandeschi family who dominated the territory and had the sighting tower erected in order to protect the place from the Saracens.

A wide fully fenced garden surrounds the building.
Two terraces are furnished with sun loungers.
The private swimming pool (4x6 m; depth: 1.20 m) with a view of the sea is exclusively reserved to guests.
The tower has a private access to the sea.

The tower is an excellent accommodation for those who want to celebrate their wedding or a special event in an elegant and charming setting, which made the background for some scenes of the film "Quantum of Solace", starring Daniel Craig.
