Breath in the clean fresh air, finally away from the city lights and pollution. Experience the peaceful countryside sunsets and quiet starry nights...the Manciano area is famous for the very clear night sky.
BIG PRIVATE GARDEN AND POOL
The garden and pool are totally private. Unlike other properties in the Maremma area, ours is exclusively for you, as we do not live on the premises and there will be no other guests apart from you. Please note the pool is accessible from 15 June to 15 September.
ROOMS
You will find two large double bedrooms and one smaller double bedroom. Two big bathrooms plus one extra small bathroom. Linen is provided and is free.
THE PATIOS AND THE GARDEN
Two shady patios outside, with a large dining table and deckchairs, allow you to sit back and relax whilst sipping a nice glass of red Tuscan wine - perhaps a nice Morellino di Scansano with a few slices of Pecorino cheese - watching the sunset with your friends or simply contemplating the smooth green hills in peace.
The garden has no fence around it, so the view on the horizon is completely open - and for this reason we'd rather not accept pets, unless you are absolutely sure they will not run after a hare or a pheasant!
INTERIOR
The house in Guinzoni is a mixture of modern and country style.
Perfect for a big family or for a small group of friends (max 6 adults + 1 cot). The bedrooms are 3 and the bathrooms are 2 + 1 small extra bathroom, so a total of maximum 6 people can comfortably sleep here.
The spacious living room has large French glass windows, which allow you to view the whole garden and country hills whilst comfortably sitting indoors and from the bedrooms too.
The kitchen, dining and living area are all in one open space. There is a big dining table inside surrounded by big windows overlooking the lemon and orange trees. It's lovely to sit in front of the fireplace during the Winter season!
THE AREA
The house is very quiet and is in the middle of the country with only a few neighbors around, but the supermarket and other facilities are only a 10 minutes drive. The Tuscan coast and the beaches are about 20 minutes drive. And the closest bar/supermarket is only 5km away, but you will always need a car to get there.
DAY TRIPS
There is a variety of day trips you can go on:
Saturnia: free entry natural spa (bring reef shoes)
Magliano 10km: restaurants and views
Capalbio 20 km: restaurants, boutique-shops
Orbetello 20km: near the lagoon, shopping
Pitigliano 30km: beautiful, carved out of the rock, delicious food
These are all about 30 minutes away and the roads to get there are full of breathtaking views. The natural hot thermal waterfalls of Saturnia are free and only 35km away.
SIENA/PISA/LUCCA/ROME/FLORENCE
Siena is 1h40mins away by car. Florence, Pisa, Lucca are 2h30mins by car or train and Rome is 2 hours away, by car or by train from Albinia station - which is 25 minutes away by car. A car is always necessary in Maremma.
PLEASE NOTE
In the countryside there are insects. Mosquitoes, you will need mosquito repellent! You may also find wasps, spiders, lizards and sometimes dormice. It is important to keep rubbish closed and throw it out regularly.
Also, It is important to know that in Tuscany there are vipers, poisonous snakes. We have only seen one once in our garden in 15 years. You might see a hare, pheasants and woodpeckers.
