About Michael and Consy
I am Michael, a retired cosmopolitan architect and this is the home my grandmother bought, on her travels throughout Italy in the 1860's...she was looking to buy an iron-ore mine and bought this property thinking she could use it as a port. The mine fell through, (not literally!) but the house remained in the family. It is now my home. I was lucky enough to grow up here. Every summer we came down from Florence to spend many months of carefree swimming, beachcombing and lazing around in total freedom, just swimming pants and bare feet. Heavenly.
Michael and Consy purchased this House in 1863
Why Michael and Consy chose San Vincenzo
There aren't many places around that combine such a unique position on an unspoilt beach, in an unspoilt area, with a XVI century Tuscan farmhouse of beautiful proportions. In short, it's the real thing.
What makes this House unique
Where else can you spend your holiday with your feet practically in the sea all day long, at the same time keeping an eye on your children while you eat a delicious lunch in the shade as they play on the beach.

Erholung pur!
Wir suchten eine ruhige Unterkunft direkt am Strand, um so richtig abschalten zu können. Wir fanden das kunstsinnige und äußerst inspirierende Heim von Michele und Consy an einem der schönsten Plätze der Maremma. Wer Luxus im herkömmlichen Sinn sucht, wer zum Wohlfühlen Menschen, Shops und Restaurants in Sichtweite braucht, wird hier vermutlich nicht glücklich. Wer hingegen außerhalb einer Ortschaft in einem Haus mit viel Charme und Geschichte wohnen möchte, wer die Natur und das Meeresrauschen liebt und gern wandert, ist hier goldrichtig. Wir jedenfalls haben jeden einzelnen Tag unseres zweiwöchigen Aufenthalts im März genossen!
Thank you Gaby and Michael, it was a real pleasure to have you as our guests!
An artist‘s house
Unique background for a long family history, closest to the sea.
Un posto particolare
Una casa di grande carattere in un luogo unico, proprio sulla spiaggia ma anche ben riparata

Nearby tourist sites include;
* the island of Elba, reached by ferry from Piombino, where one can visit Napoleon's villa, many stunning villages, beautiful shops and excellent restaurants, stunning beaches
*Populonia village which is very close, with its castle, shops, restaurants and stunning views
*Massa Marittima with its beautiful cathedral, museum, frescoed medieval washing house, restaurants and shops
*San Vincenzo with its marina, day trips to the nearby islands, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, tennis courts
*Baratti with sailing schools, scuba diving schools, boat rental, restaurants and archaeological sites and museums
*Donoratico and its fun park Cavallino Matto, great for a day out with the kids
* further afield, one can organise day trips to Pisa, Lucca, and, slightly further away, Florence and even Siena
* San Gimignano and Volterra can be reached by a very beautiful drive through the unspoilt heart of Tuscany, along a fairly minor road, which makes for a relaxing day out
*Nearby (about 30 km by car), one can go to see the amazing geothermal plants at Monterotondo Marittimo, a surreal experience of massive shiny steel tubes snaking across the landscape, interspersed with giant steaming collection towers decorating the classic Tuscan landscape one sees in all the paintings
*Bolgheri with its beautiful village, stunning cypress-flanked drive from the coast to the village, with bars and wonderful restaurants and wine-tasting events.
There's a great restaurant in Baratti, right at the end of the port, situated in the old tower, Ristorante Canessa, where you can eat delicious sea food enjoying the view of the sea, the coast, and in the distance the twinkling lights of San Vincenzo. Try it! Here's their phone number: 320 932 8353. Buon appetito!
Oh...an afterthought...if Canessa is full, you can always try their direct competitors, Ristorante La Pergola, which enjoys the view directly over the little port of Baratti. Here's their number; 0565 29596. Delicious food here too.
I nearly forgot...try La Barcaccina restaurant right on the beach in San Vincenzo, a great spot to dine while watching the sun set over the sea, while the lights of Elba twinkle in the distance. Here's the phone number: 0565 701911 and the address: Via Tridentina, 1, 57027 San Vincenzo LI. We like their grilled fish.
