HOME DECOR
A place to slow down and enjoy the Tuscan life in the wild natural environment of the Maremma countryside, a place where the spirit can rest and re-join to the essence of a vacation spent venturing the rolling hills or sailing to the Argentario hidden beauties. A manicured lawn and the views on the rolling hills introduce this villa, located 10 km away from the sea on the Maremma coastline. The home design approached with research in the historical context results in a new-classic style with custom, white painted wooden boards and resin floors, wood-beamed ceilings lend a rustic feel to the interiors. Elements of classic Italian residential architecture, such as bright views from most of the sides and light-filled living areas, are combined with contemporary touches, like its indoor gym. Aesthetically, the house recalls traditional typologies —for instance, the garden with commanding vista over the countryside or the travertine marble used in the kitchen and in some of the bathrooms — as well as traditional materials, including marble, stucco walls and locally sourced stone. A contemporary influence, however, was the decision to pave floors with resin.
Contemporary yet very comfortable, this is a chic retreat full of light and a welcoming vibe, blending traditional and modern Tuscan architecture.
A LOCAL CONCIERGE’S GUIDE TO THE AREA THE EXPERIENCE
Tuscany has great energy that comes from mixing history with so many different people from all over the world. And, as well as the restaurants, shopping, and nearby nature, people’s perceptions are also mesmerized of what a culturally rich area this is in terms of museums, architecture, and art. Several close by restaurants and trattorias serve organic, local cuisine. We recommend the traditional and locally famous Da Tullio as Maremma style and meat place, or La Selva as one of the best fish restaurants in the area. For those who prefer a chic atmosphere, the enchanting Da Caino, two-star Michelin restaurant. Sneak to Le Mortelle of Antinori for an exclusive wine tasting.
