The villa is spectacularly situated high up on the promontory of Monte Argentario on the southern coastline of Tuscany. Its tranquil and isolated position at the top of it's own long and winding drive offers privacy and breathtaking views over the sparkling blue Mediterranean and the Tuscan Archipelago. The House in the Clouds was given this suggestive name due to its amazing location high up on the hillside of Monte Argentario. It is not unusual to wake up on an early summer's morning to find that the world below has been obliterated by the sea mist, the house is actually ABOVE the clouds and you could be the only person on the planet! However the heat of the sun and the morning breeze soon see the mist off and you are left with the emerald green of the woods tumbling into azure blue of the sea spread before you in a dance of light and colour. As you raise your eyes to the horizon you are gifted with breathtaking views of the tiny and larger islands of Giglio, Giannutri, Monte Cristo, Elba, Le Formiche and on a clear day Corsica, that make up the Tuscan Archipelago whilst behind you sheer cliffs of volcanic rock form the backdrop of your spectacular holiday destination. Its private location offer undisturbed, quiet, balmy days with the distant sound of waves breaking on the rugged shores far below and the twittering of birds in the surrounding ilex and oak woodland for company.
On entering the villa, the spacious marble clad hallway leads to the left into a twin room with an en-suit shower and loo and to the right into the living room, dining room laid with polished olive wood parquet flooring, then on to the kitchen. The living room has a large arched panoramic window with superb views over the bay and a second arch leads into the dining room. French windows open from the dining room out onto the garden-size terrace where al fresco dinners can be had at the beautifully hand crafted wrought iron table and chairs. A large sun umbrella and deck chairs are also available for sun bathing. The fully equipped kitchen leads off the dining room and looks out onto the terrace and a convenient little hatch also opens into the dining room. Proceeding from the hallway up the marble staircase to the first floor landing is the enchanting master bedroom decorated in pale greens and cream whites with windows overlooking the sea and the surrounding woods. The room has an en-suit bathroom. Continuing again up the last flight of stairs there is a twin bedroom on the left prettily decorated for children, a bathroom in the middle and the blue room with a queen size bed and windows looking out onto an upper terrace and over the sea. The villa has been personally decorated by the owners with careful attention to detail. It is perfect for enjoying a relaxing holiday on the Tuscan coast. |
