Uniana

Close to the border with Lazio, the Maremma coast, just an hour and a half from Rome, remains one of Italy’s hidden gems, yet it holds a special allure for the rich and famous.

This region of Tuscany has been compared to a "more rugged version of the Côte d'Azur”. It offers a wealth of attractions to explore, including art, wellness and spa facilities, gastronomic delights, golf courses, and beachfront activities, all within easy reach.

Situated in the province of Grosseto, in the prestigious Capalbio area, nestled amidst a serene estate of one and half hectare of manicured land, this villa epitomizes luxury living for those seeking quality time with loved ones while indulging in a variety of interests. Surrounded by the breathtaking natural beauty of the landscape, it provides the perfect setting for rejuvenating mind, body, and soul.

This lovely area of Italy sits between Rome and Pisa, offering expansive, breathtaking views of the islands of Giglio and Elba. Highlights of the area include the unspoiled fishing village of Castiglione della Pescaia, endless stretches of dreamy sandy beaches and the medieval cobble-stoned village of Massa Marittima – lately becoming more and more popular and home to many international artists and socialites. Also worth a visit is the magical and mysterious city of Volterra, with its roots in three thousand years of history. We also strongly recommend visits to the towns of Populonia and Baratti, Suvereto, Campiglia Marittima, Castagneto Carducci, Bolgheri, and the chic harbor of Punta Ala. Boat rentals for cruising around the coast and private tours of the region's many acclaimed wineries can be arranged through our concierge.
