Set on three hectares of Tuscan woodland near Orbetello, this house is framed by century-old olive trees and absolute quiet – no neighbours, no noise, just nature. A cypress-lined driveway sets the mood on arrival, and the grounds deliver on the promise: an arched porch for long alfresco lunches, a shaded pergola, a pool with its own facilities, and a bocce court hidden among the garden. A resident housekeeper makes up rooms and serves breakfast each morning, while a gourmet chef, boat trips, and horseback riding at stables just metres away can all be arranged. The Maremma's beaches are a fifteen-minute drive.

Home truths

  • For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground floor bedroom and bathroom here.
