Villa Airone Italy
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Airone epitomises Tuscan grace and charm – a large, elegant, stand-alone farmhouse style home clad in terracotta roofing and ochre-toned exteriors with pretty olive-hued shutters, overlooking the wonderful Renaissance-esque hills and woods. While the traditional features convey authentic Tuscan style – exposed timber beams, barn style buildings and white-washed oak flooring – the interiors are finished with perfect contemporary polish and quality.
Set in a rural spot, with wonderful far reaching views, guests will stop to draw breath as they encounter this luxuriantly-quirky home which embodies understated prestige of impeccable taste and style. Stunningly secluded in a rustic spot surrounded by rolling hills, Villa Airone is framed by trellis-covered verandas with a “cloister” feel, balconies offering panoramic views and expansive lawns.
The beautiful pool, with azure waters is framed by generously proportioned decking space with great lounging potential and comfortable day beds; there is a choice of outdoor dining areas, from the pool side gazebo style al fresco spot – ideal for afternoon nibbles or a post swim breakfast of fresh coffee and pastry, to the shaded veranda complete with outdoor kitchenette and barbecue, ideal for evening meals as a family or group. Imagine sitting back at the end of a day on the beach, as the sun softens over the hills, enjoying aperitivi and a local wine!
The living spaces are chic and classic – finished with panache and style, wonderfully selected furnishings in quality raw materials, whilst artefects, wonderful artwork and ambient lighting make this space very much and “home from home” – it couldn’t be further from a sterile, anonymous holiday home.
Large open plan living is broken up into naturally separate spaces, the wonderful solid wood table will easy seat parties of up to twelve, whilst every comfort is provided whether guests be holidaying in summer or winter. Leather, mahogany, solid wood, marble and stone – bookshelves with interesting reads and eastern spiritualism inspired statues – this home is brimming with character and individual verve.
The piece de resistance is the simply sensually designed underground indoor pool, with deep crimson walls and dim wash lighting, it is a haven for unwinding and relaxation away from the bustle of the outdoor world.
The kitchen is both smart and functional – great for eating in, whether it be children’s meals or afternoon snacks, or relaxed breakfasts. It provides state of the art fittings and a chic monochrome colour-scheme, whilst the views of the wonderful rolling hills are visible from every angle.
Each of the five bedrooms finished with impeccable taste and style, each with its own bathroom and far reaching views, elegant design accents with stunningly selected furnishings, crisp quality bed linen and abundant fluffy towels.
For a stylish, effortlessly luxurious and prestigious Tuscan holiday environment, where subtle opulence abounds, a sense of bygone years with the faithful preservation of original features, whilst every impeccably placed modern touch is integrated, including helpful on hand staff, simply look no further!
The charming village of Carige is a five-minute drive from Villa Airone, where all the traditional amenities such as newsagent and bakery are available as well as supermarket and service station.
This landscape is considered among the best that Tuscan Maremma region has to offer, with its splendid hills, elegant architecture, olive trees and vineyards the views at every turn are enchanting and awash with seasonally changing colours.
At just ten minutes from the local beaches, there are an array of options to choose from, while these are generally not of a commercial nature and the sea is among the most uncontaminated of the Italian coast.
For outdoors enthusiasts, the options for strolling and hill walking are plentiful, while history and archaeology lovers will enjoy the castles, monuments and historical preserves that the region offers. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit the thermal baths at Saturnia, while spring offers a vibrant explosion of flowers and plants.
Capalbio is certainly worth a visit; a walled hilltop town with winding streets and lovely little antique houses, while a walk around the castle walls provides views across Maremma and down to the sea. Further on, an ideal day trip for the family would be renting a boat or taking a leisurely ferry trip to one of the nearby islands of the Tuscan archipelago.
Rich in artistic heritage, the ancient villages starting near Capalbio through to the cities of Siena (the quintessential medieval city) and Florence, the latter considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. Whether it be wine tasting in Chianti, a trip to the hill towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, or a visit to the leaning tower of Pisa, visitors to the region will sense that they can barely stretch the surface of the potential on offer!
