Owned by two British families with roots in the area, Le Rondini are situated on a small development of villettas on a quiet wooded hillside, overlooking the beautiful and undiscovered Val di Cornia. Our patios have views across the valley towards Monteverdi and Monterotondo and in the distance the sea and the island of Elba. The houses can be rented separately or together for two families as they are next door to one another. The beach at Castagneto is close enough for those who like to swim. The properties are comfortably furnished to a high standard in local style and have a garden and patio for outdoor living. Most of the nearby properties are owned by Italians who come here to escape the heat and overcrowded cities in the summer. Our guests can enjoy the cooler climate of the hills and still be near the sea. For those wanting to see the sights Florence, Siena and Pisa are within easy reach. This is ideal country for walking, cycling, horse riding or touring.
