About this property

Delightful villa on Tuscan coast with private beach club

'La Rondine di Mare' is a charming villa set in an acre of Mediterranean countryside that boasts spectacular sea views. It is on a quiet road not overlooked by other properties. The house is very big and nicely divided so that everyone has some private space. The sitting room which has three double glass doors that lead outside. Two wings lead off the sitting room. The first leads the master bedroom, single bedroom with shared bathroom. The other wing leads past the kitchen and dinning room, to a bunk bed room and shower room. The dining room has a large round table which is ideal for feeding children or using when it rains and the kitchen is long and easily fits several adults cooking simultaneously. The kitchen has another exit that leads to the car park and a large terrace. Two short, external flights of stairs lead to the two guest suits.

There are 3 terraces. The main one off the sitting room has a teak dining table that seats up to 15 people and several trees that create very welcome shade from the summer sun. In addition there is a large square umbrella and pergola that has a canvas covering providing a large amount of shade. The gardens and grass lawns are ideal for sunbathing or playing catch with your children. The view from this side of the house is due west towards the island of Giglio. Most evening there are spectacular sunsets! On a clear day you can also see the islands of Monte Cristo and Corsica and if you are very lucky even Elba.
The second terrace has a bamboo roof and teak table for 4. We like breakfasting here or having an drink while looking at the island of Giannutri.
The kitchen terrace has recently been resurfaced and is a useful space for your children to play in while you cook or take a break at the other side of the house. There is also a dedicated area for drying clothes.

The Monte Argentario peninsular: You can explore the near by port of Santo Stefano and the marina at Porto Ercole with their fish stalls, markets, boutiques and restaurants. Take the ferry to the islands of Giglio and Giannutri or visit the inland medieval towns of Magliana in Toscana and Capalbio. Or even swim under the waterfall at the Saturnia hot springs.

A perfect location for all ages.

A wonderful stay
We really enjoyed being in Bruce’s family home. It’s very well laid out, with a terrace for breakfast overlooking sea views and another shaded area with gorgeous views towards Giglio Island - for lunch or dinner. Bruce was very responsive and communication was great. Thank you!

Views to die for.
The work the owners have made on the new bathrooms, terraces and kitchen have really made a difference.

Amazing- we've traveled the world and no where was as breathtaking and relaxing as Cala Piccola.
The views and outdoor living areas are breathtaking - the beach club is beyond words. The home's sea views, landscaping, four outdoor seating areas and privacy make you never want to leave - then you go to the beach club which is a giant private cove preserved for a limited number of members and hotel guests and are awestruck. The layout of this home is ideal for an extended family/friends - with 3 bedrooms in the main area and two other areas with their own entrances. As per previous comments, the home is a tad dated- but who would ever want to spend time indoors with all the great outdoor areas. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Italy.

casa ampia, adatta a 12 persone comode.
panorama e location fantastica. Sottolineo che l'accesso a Cala piccola ( mare meraviglioso) servitissimo con il minibus è gratuito ( sia minibus che la spiaggia). E' stata una gradevole sorpresa. Tra l'altro il servizio spiaggia (bar etc..) è assolutamente adeguato anche come costi . Da riprovare assolutamente

Beautiful Family Holiday
Such a great property, very comfortable, the Cala Piccola Beach Club was a perfect way to spend the days with kids and Santo Stefano lots of fun at night. The owner could not have been more helpful and very easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend and would love to come back.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Bennett

Host profile image
We are an Anglo-Italian family with an Italian mother and British father. We grew up in England and spent idyllic summer holidays at the villa with our Italian grandfather, his extended family and loads of cousins. We are four siblings based in Rome, Paris and in the UK.

Why they chose this property

It is great for large families and people that want a little privacy. The house is well divided so that you can be together or relax on your own. The road is quiet with only 5 other villas and a very famous Italian pop star (Antonello Venditti) for a neighbour (who is rarely around and is very quiet!). The area is really safe and there is a lovely welcoming feeling at the beach (just say my name). The beach club has everything that you could need. Lifeguards, bar, restaurant, showers, playground with swings and ping pong. There are also many places where you can sit in the shade other than your umbrella. There are safe caves to explore and a diving board. The playground is near the entrance where a lady sits, who loves children and keeps an eye out for them all.
