The closest airport is Grosseto (53km; 55’) but for intercontinental flights we strongly suggest the terminals of Rome, Pisa, Florence and Bologna.

Description of the buildings
Access to the property is via aconvenient road in excellent condition and currently shared with the other buildings of the compendium (that can be all bought separately, see below). Unlike common countryside roads, the owners applied a concrete surface which makes the road incredibly uniform and easily drove on. Walls supporting the terraces are made out of reinforced concrete as well, so to ensure maximum resistance, and are then covered with local stones that fit very well with the surroundings.

The octagonal villa (385 sqm – 4,143 sqft, 6 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms) is laid on three floors and is currently used as an accommodation unit thanks to the many available bedrooms (a few with independent access from outside). Finishes include terracotta floors, wooden beams and original stone fireplaces.
- Ground floor five double bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, technical room;
- First floor ample octagonal living room, kitchen, closet, laundry and two bathrooms;
- Second floor double bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
Most of the rooms enjoy direct access to the outside spaces of the villa, where one can find ample paved terraces with pergolas, tables and sofas. The incredible view over the Tuscan Archipelago is the perfect background for pleasant moments of relax. On a terrace located just below the villa, there is a 12 × 4 m swimming pool with shower room and bathroom (30 sqm – 323 sqft). Right next to the basin there is a cozy covered bar corner and an automated pergola.

Above the villa, just along the access road is a convenient carport where up to four vehicles can be easily sheltered.

The 4,300 sqm plot of land is located all around the villa, planted with trees that shelter the building and terraces and ensure privacy and quiet. The waterfront platform is located at the bottom of the cliffs and can be easily reached on foot from the villa (with a passage right to be granted by the current owner of the property below) by continuing down the road.

The caretakers' house (which can be purchased separately, see below) located along the access road and immediately before the carport would in any case be shared with the other villas on the property as the people who live there are currently in charge of the maintenance of the entire property and could in any case continue to look after the octagonal villa for the new owners.

Possibility of expanding the property
In the vicinity of the villa are available three more buildings for sale (all restored and readily habitable, currently rented out to tourists and vacationers) and more land (approximately 9.5 ha including three vineyards) for the sum of 2,500,000 Euro

The gatehouse (105 sqm – 1,130 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms) is laid on a single floor and made up of living room with kitchen, master bedroom with en-suite bathroom, two double bedrooms and a bathroom. This is ideal as a keeper’s house.

Cottage N°1 (50 sqm – 538 sqft, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom) is a small and simple villa made up of living room, kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. The building is located right amidst the vineyards and boasts a beautifully panoramic paved terrace. Here one can find a finely-crafted pergola with tables (one of which, beautiful and unique, made out of an old stone mill), intended to offer unforgettable moments.

Cottage N°2 (110 sqm – 1,184 sqft, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms), built with traditional and high-quality materials, is made up of an ample living room, kitchen with pantry, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms. By climbing an old stone winding staircase one can reach the ample terrace on the rooftop (50 sqm – 58 sqft). Ont he ground floor, a wooden pergola covers a stone-paved area, ideal for al fresco dinners.

All around these buildings is also additional land, roughly 9.5 hectares (23.5 acres), that descend towards the sea and end with the rocky cliff on the water. From here one can climb down to the sea. Around cottage N°2 are also three vineyards (roughly 4,600 sqm in total) that would allow producing a small quantity of wine (ideally around 2,500 bottles with a theoretical yield of 5,000 bottles per hectare), by also converting one of the cottages into a small wine cellar.
The access road of the villas (including the octagonal one) would become a totally private property in case one decided to buy the whole compendium.

Following the coastline we also reach a beautiful path with staircase leading down the steep cliffs of Argentario to reach the beautiful sea underneath. Other pathways branching from the main roads are ideal for relaxing walks and/or outdoor activities in this unique piece of heaven.
