Argentario, Tuscany - secluded villa near sea, magnificent views, private pool

The villa is ideal for self-catering families and groups of friends, allowing close yet separate living arrangements. There is plenty of outdoor space. It is not advisable for people with mobility challenges unless they can be helped especially on the stairs.

Built on two separate levels with a third independent unit, the villa comprises: an upper level large room, with double bed and a sofa that can sleep two more, fireplace and a large terrace (75 sqm) with magnificent views on the surrounding hills and sea; a lower level apartment with one double bedroom, one bedroom with a bunkbed, fully furnished kitchenette and living / dining area with fireplace, and surrounding garden with brick barbecue and dining area; and a small independent unit with two single beds.

PLEASE LOOK AT THE FLOOR LAY OUT IN THE LAST PICTURE TO MAKE SURE THE SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS SUIT YOU.

All three units have own separate access, own bathroom (showers only, and the bathroom in the independent unit is very small) and A/C. TVs in upper and lower level. Free Wifi in both levels but not in the independent unit. Landline available for local calls.

The villa is surrounded by more than one hectare of Mediterranean flora, with olive trees and a large oak and pine wood. An above ground swimming pool (about 30 sqm, 110 cm deep) overlooks the landscape.

Washing machine housed next to laundry line, away from view. There is no dishwasher. Water is kept in an underground cistern filled by rain and tanker according to needs.

A car is a must for everyone's comfort. There is no public transport and local taxis availability is extremely limited. There is ample parking space within the villa grounds.

In summer be prepared for mosquitos. The villa is fully fenced but cats may roam around and occasionally a boar may break its way in - please do not feed the cats and avoid any boars.

Please note that in order to keep the rent as low as possible and give you some control on expenses, utilities are to be paid separately according to use – water for your own consumption, electricity and gas. Water is 11 euros for cubic metre (1,000 litres, each tanker delivers 6,000), electricity is 0.60 euros for kw, and gas is 20 euros per week.

Please also note that there is no rubbish collection. Unfortunately, you need to take the rubbish down to refuse collection points. There are some skips (cassonetti) next to the bar of the tennis club on your left as you drive down from the villa some four minutes away.

Please do not use the pool from 20.00 until 10.00 the following morning as the water is being treated by the personnel in charge of maintaining it. The pool is only available June to August (and part of September if required).

Please ensure the house is left in order when you leave, otherwise we may need to charge you for the additional cleaning (eg dishes left in the sink or stained floors) above the ordinary final cleaning.

Thank you.
