Val delle Vigne, Grosseto

This strikingly well-appointed villa in the Maremma region of southern Tuscany, offers a spacious and relaxing holiday base with outstanding 360-degree rural views. Traditional terracotta tiles and wooden beams blend well with a warm, earthy colour scheme of orange, yellow and green. Sleeping 12 in six bedrooms, there is plenty of space for a large group of family or friends to enjoy time together, yet with options for privacy, too.

This villa will score top marks with your group, offering a spacious wellness area, with gym equipment, Turkish bath, and relaxation area that opens onto the garden. And… not one, but two connected private pools set in a corner of the large, well-maintained grounds and a furnished gazebo offering a shaded area. Furnished terraces and balconies offer spots from which you can all soak up the views across the garden to fields and vineyards beyond. The nearby town of Alberese, is a short drive away, offering a couple of restaurants (including the highly recommended Da Remo – booking necessary at weekends) and other amenities. And be sure not to miss the beauty of the Parco Naturale della Maremma coastal reserve.

Our Thoughts
The only problem facing guests of Val delle Vigne is how to split their time between all that’s on offer here. Whether to explore the multiple indoor spaces with bedrooms blessed with lounges and terraces overlooking tranquil countryside…? Or to enjoy the wellness area and games room…? Or to make the most of the outside space, with two pools surrounded by trees, rockeries and colourful planting, and generous amounts of soft grass to play on…? And the barbecue and pizza oven near the pool area elevate it to the ultimate private party space, a finishing touch that makes a memorable summer holiday.

Notes
Six bedrooms. Six bathrooms, all en-suite. Three of the bedrooms have lounge areas. The caretaker and her family live in an apartment attached to the ground floor and are on hand to assist guests with information or restaurant bookings. They do not use the pool. There is a sofa-bed in Bedroom 1, Bedroom 4 and Bedroom 6. These can function as three extra double beds if required.
Parking - available on site

Pool
Two large pools – one for adults, one for kids – are connected by a rock and waterfall feature, with the adult pool being entered by metal ladder steps. They are surrounded by terraces with sun beds, deck chairs and parasols, which give way to lawn. Children’s pool size: 7.7m x 3.75m and 0.7m-1m deep. Adult pool size: 12m x 4.75m and 1.10m - 2.65m deep. Both open June to September, weather permitting.
