OUTDOOR AREA & POOL
Words can not describe the dazzling views you’ll experience throughout your stay.
Driving up to the villa past the well-kept greenery that surrounds the property, stop and marvel at the natural beauty that lies at your feet. From the comfort of the 8 deck and lounge chairs, look down on the nearby villages of Colle Sant’Angelo, the excellent Contemaso Vineyards, and the sparkling sea near Grosseto.
Upon arrival, take a dip in the oversized 4×15 meter saltwater pool to cool off after a long day of traveling. After cooling off, we always recommend to our guests to take a leisurely stroll through the gardens and foliage that envelope the surrounding hills to lose yourself in the beauty of the surrounding areas. Settle in under the enormous linden tree for some shade as the breeze rolls in.
As the sun sets over the horizon, pop open a bottle of wine produced from the surround vineyards under the vine-covered pergola to enjoy a leisurely outdoor meal. Equipped with seating for 8 guests, cheers to the start of an unforgettable vacation!
