Villa Airone

The villa

Villa Airone epitomises Tuscan grace and charm - a large, elegant, stand - alone farmhouse style home clad in terracotta roofing and ochre - toned exteriors with pretty olive - hued shutters, overlooking the wonderful Renaissance - esque hills and woods. 

The beautiful pool, with azure waters is framed by generously proportioned decking space with great lounging potential and comfortable day beds. There is a choice of outdoor dining areas, from the pool side gazebo style al fresco spot - ideal for afternoon nibbles or a post swim breakfast of fresh coffee and pastry, to the shaded veranda complete with outdoor kitchenette and barbecue, ideal for evening meals as a family or group. 

The living spaces are chic and classic with wonderfully selected furnishings in quality raw materials, whilst artefacts, wonderful artwork and ambient lighting make this space very much a “home from home”. Large open plan living is broken up into naturally separate spaces, the wonderful solid wood table will easy seat parties of up to twelve. The kitchen is both smart and functional - great for eating in, whether it be children’s meals or afternoon snacks, or relaxed breakfasts. It provides state of the art fittings and a chic monochrome colour - scheme, whilst the views of the wonderful rolling hills are visible from every angle. Each of the five bedrooms is finished with impeccable taste and style, with far reaching views, elegant design accents with stunningly selected furnishings, crisp quality bed linen and abundant fluffy towels.

For a stylish, effortlessly elegant Tuscan holiday environment, simply look no further! At Villa Airone, subtle opulence abounds and there is a sense of bygone years with the faithful preservation of original features, whilst every impeccably placed modern touch is integrated, including helpful on hand staff.

Please note the indoor swimming pool (at an extra cost) is currently closed until further notice due to maintenance issues.

The charming village of Carige is a five - minute drive from Villa Airone, where all the traditional amenities such as newsagent and bakery are available as well as supermarket and service station. There is also a hotel within a 10 - minute walk (open in the summer months only) which features a restaurant, spa and padel court that are available for Villa Airone guests to book. Other restaurants are within a short drive.

This landscape is considered among the best that the Tuscan Maremma region has to offer, with its splendid hills, elegant architecture, olive trees and vineyards. The views at every turn are enchanting and awash with seasonally changing colours. 

Capalbio is certainly worth a visit; a walled hilltop town with winding streets and lovely little antique houses, while a walk around the castle walls provides views across Maremma and down to the sea. Further on, an ideal day trip for the family would be renting a boat or taking a leisurely ferry trip to one of the nearby islands of the Tuscan archipelago.

Rich in artistic heritage, there are many ancient villages starting near Capalbio through to the cities of Siena (the quintessential medieval city) and Florence, the latter considered the birthplace of the Renaissance. Whether it be wine tasting in Chianti, a trip to the hill towns of Montepulciano and Montalcino, or a visit to the leaning tower of Pisa, visitors to the region will sense that they can barely stretch the surface of the potential on offer!
