Bolgheri Beach House

Part of a private estate, Bolgheri Beach House is set in a quintessentially Tuscan landscape, where olive grove hillsides slip down to sunny vineyards, and unspoilt beaches, fringed with dunes, are backed by umbrella pines. Beautifully maintained lawned gardens surround the house, screened with greenery, encompassing a sizeable swimming pool set between the house and the beach in a clearing. A footpath leads through the pines to the beach and to a rustic cabana in the dunes, the perfect spot for a picnic lunch prepared by the villa’s housekeeper. And if outdoor living is idyllic, indoor is equally inviting. A contemporary kitchen is matched, throughout the villa, with modern technology, from satellite TV to computer controlled air cooling system. Yet the house retains its Tuscan country style. A large ad elegant living room has multiple double doors out to the decked terrace with ample sitting and dining area and gardens; three of the six en suite bedrooms open on to a terrace with sea views. Within easy reach of the lively family friendly beach resort of Marina di Bibbona with restaurants and amenities, the wine centre of Bolgheri, excellent restaurants and a supermarket, the villa is an easy hour’s drive from Pisa, and 45km from Piombino for the ferry to Elba.
