Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the serene Tuscan countryside of Cetona, Italy, Podere Gragnano is a captivating stone villa that stands as a testament to the timeless beauty of 19th-century farmhouse architecture. The result of a meticulous renovation completed in 2012, this exceptional vacation rental seamlessly blends original structural elements — including salvaged terracotta flooring and oak parquet — with modern comforts, all while preserving the historic character of the former farmhouse. The property is composed of 2 separate buildings: a main villa and a charming annex constructed in the style of Tuscan tradition, together set within an expansive 80-hectare farm estate. The surrounding landscape is dominated by olive trees, vineyards, and unspoiled nature, with sweeping views of the countryside and the majestic Mount Cetona on the horizon. Guests benefit from high-speed Internet WiFi throughout the property, a dedicated parking area with 4 covered spaces accessible via an automatic wooden and iron gate, and a generous private yard spanning 1.5 hectares of lush parkland. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or a base for exploring the cultural riches of Tuscany and beyond, Podere Gragnano offers an unparalleled setting just 5 minutes from the town of Cetona.
Outdoors
The 1.5-hectare park of Podere Gragnano is a beautifully landscaped environment of plush lawns, low hedges, a small olive grove, and the estate's own vineyard, creating a sense of natural abundance and tranquility. Throughout the garden, you will discover a rich variety of plantings including cotoneaster, climbing roses, broom, hydrangeas, irises, fig, peach and apricot trees, and towering oaks, as well as a collection of aromatic herbs. A charming circular iron gazebo invites you to sit and absorb the peaceful atmosphere, while the pergola adjacent to the dining room — adorned with potted oleanders — is fully equipped for outdoor meals and features a wood-burning oven for al fresco cooking. Not far from the pool, tucked behind a cluster of olive trees, a delightful small brick playhouse designed for children contains 2 rooms with games and tables. Two rows of cypress trees line the short gravel driveway leading from the entrance gate to the parking area, lending the approach a distinctly Tuscan elegance. Adjacent to the parking area, a dedicated laundry room with a sink and a bathroom with toilet and shower provides additional practical convenience for guests.
The non-heated swimming pool is located in a quiet corner of the garden behind the house, approximately 40 metres away, and can be reached across a stretch of lawn or via a short flight of steps. The rectangular pool features 1 infinity side, a stone border, Roman steps, and internal lighting, measuring 6 x 12 metres with a depth ranging from 1 metre to 2.20 metres. The purification system combines both chlorine and oxygen treatment, and the interior is finished with a specialist swimming pool plaster. A generous 1,000 square metre grassy sunbathing area surrounds the pool, furnished with sunbeds, deckchairs, and a large umbrella. Just 10 metres from the pool, a brick building houses a small kitchen and a changing room with shower and toilet. The pool is available from the last Saturday of April to the first Saturday of October. Please be aware that photographs of the property were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon arrival.

The property reflects all the charm of old 15th century Tuscan buildings still visible in the stratification of the buildings and in the original architecture, which has remained intact, of the borgo. Once past the surrounding walls, you find yourself in a large internal courtyard around which open all the entrances of the residential units that make up the borgo. Sixteen spacious bedrooms, with air conditioning and private bathroom, the large living room and professional kitchen united in the imposing central body, substantial equipped outdoor areas and the swimming pool, immersed in an immense park, make the borgo the ideal place to host family reunions or to accommodate large groups of friends who wish to spend a relaxing stay in a secluded setting, albeit very close to the most beautiful and prestigious attractions of this part of Tuscany. The generosity and beauty of the outdoor areas make the location particularly suitable for events and ceremonies. The property is located less than 2 km from Monteriggioni, a 13th century fortified borgo set on a panoramic hill, dominating the slopes planted with vineyards and olive trees; just a short distance from Siena and also in an excellent position for visiting the entire Chianti region, dotted with numerous castles transformed into wineries and medieval towns where you will be conquered by splendid landscapes and ancient buildings. Within the property, on request, it is possible to taste and buy the extra virgin olive oil produced by the estate, to organise lessons in typical cuisine in the large professional kitchen, and to avail yourself of staff and a personal chef for your entire stay.
Interior:
The complex follows the typical structure that is historically defined as "courtyard house", consisting of a main body and a separate annex (located opposite) composed of several residential units, for a total of about 1200 sq m and organised around a central courtyard where all the various entrances are located. MAIN BODY. On three floors. On the ground floor, through the courtyard, you enter the main door which opens into a large living room with sofas and TV area.

The ground floor is completed by three double bedrooms (two with divisible bed) with private bathroom with shower. An external staircase next to the main entrance leads up to the first floor where, crossing a terrace equipped with tables, you come to a living room with fireplace and six bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub, a twin (with joinable beds) served by a bathroom with tub and shower, and four doubles (two with divisible bed) with ensuite bathroom with shower. On the second floor, accessed from the first floor corridor via a simple spiral staircase, is a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. ANNEX. Located in front of the main building, it consists of two, not internally connected, floors. On the ground floor are three double bedrooms with ensuite bathroom with shower, each with independent access and not communicating internally. Two flights of steps, located on the front façade, lead to the first floor bedrooms: the first flight leads to a double room (with divisible bed) with ensuite bathroom with shower. The second flight leads to a landing with two independent bedrooms: a double with ensuite bathroom with shower and tub and another double with ensuite bathroom with shower (both bedrooms have a divisible bed). The laundry is located in an external room behind the kitchen. Air conditioning only in the bedrooms.
Park:

Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the breathtaking Costa degli Etruschi, known in English as the Coast of the Etruscans, Villa Corallina stands as one of the most remarkable vacation rental opportunities along the Tuscan coastline of Italy. Located in Marina di Bibbona, in the municipality of Bibbona, this extraordinary property dates back to 1920 and was constructed using perforated bricks and original Tuscan materials in an architectural style reminiscent of the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In the post-war period, the villa served as the beach residence of the Marquises Ginori, and until the 1990s it functioned as a "Kinderheim," one of the many traditional summer camps for children. A meticulous restoration project carried out by the current owners in collaboration with architect Ponte of Genova resulted in the complete renovation of the original building while preserving the surrounding garden, which consists predominantly of Mediterranean maquis. The property extends across approximately 5 acres of lush grounds, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Guests benefit from private parking on the estate, a well-maintained yard that seamlessly blends natural Mediterranean vegetation with carefully tended outdoor spaces, and wireless internet connectivity throughout the property.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Corallina are truly exceptional, reflecting both the natural beauty of the Tuscan coastline and the thoughtful stewardship of the current owners. The expansive park is composed entirely of Mediterranean maquis and a dense pine wood, maintained in excellent condition and offering a serene, natural atmosphere. Beneath the old oak trees in front of the house, a dedicated play area features a ping-pong table, providing entertainment for guests of all ages. A magnificent portico, ideal for leisurely lunches and romantic dinners, opens directly onto the beach and offers stunning views of the red sunsets over the sea. A wooden gate located just a few metres from the portico leads directly to the beach, where guests may set up sunbeds to enjoy the sun-filled days. 2 showers with hot water are available at the beach access point for added convenience. Both the sea-facing side and the pool side of the property are furnished with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, creating comfortable outdoor living areas throughout the estate. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring; therefore, the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The oval-shaped, non-heated swimming pool is positioned on the north side of the villa, nestled within a natural hollow in the sand dunes that already existed on the site, encircled by an amphitheatre of juniper hedges. In keeping with the owners' deep respect for the environment, no trees were cut down during its construction. The pool measures 9 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.90 metres, is purified with chlorine, and features a swimming upstream function. The surrounding pool area is equipped with a bar area, deckchairs, sunbeds, umbrellas, a shower with hot water, tables, and chairs.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in a commanding hilltop position within the small borgo of Ficareto, just a few kilometres from Todi, one of the most beautifully preserved medieval towns in Umbria, Italy, Casal del Salice is an exceptional vacation rental that combines rustic elegance with breathtaking natural surroundings. The property's exterior is clad in exposed antique stone, while the interiors reveal chestnut wood-beamed ceilings and fine terracotta floors, creating an atmosphere of refined authenticity. Casal del Salice comprises a main two-storey house and a separate single-floor annex, making it an ideal retreat for families, groups of friends, or multi-generational gatherings who wish to enjoy shared spaces while maintaining a degree of independence. The expansive grounds of approximately 3 hectares are fully enclosed and feature a beautifully maintained yard rich with fruit trees, olive groves, flowering plants, and manicured lawns, offering a true immersion in the Umbrian countryside. A private non-heated swimming pool set in a panoramic position overlooking the surrounding hills adds to the allure of this remarkable residence. Complimentary Wi-Fi internet access is available throughout the property, and a dedicated open-air parking area accommodating up to 5 cars ensures convenient arrival and departure for all guests.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casal del Salice are as captivating as the interiors, offering a seamless blend of natural beauty and thoughtfully designed leisure areas. The grounds extend across approximately 3 hectares of fully enclosed land, partly cultivated with a manicured and mostly flat lawn interspersed with a rich variety of fruit trees including figs, apricots, plums, peaches, medlars, and cherries, as well as olive, almond, and walnut trees, willows, and an abundance of aromatic herbs such as rosemary, sage, and thyme, alongside many types of seasonal flowers. Directly outside the French window of the lounge, dining room, and kitchen of the main house is a large portico with a wooden-beamed roof, furnished with chairs, a dining table, and a mobile barbecue, making it the perfect setting for al fresco meals. In the evening, outdoor lighting positioned throughout the garden illuminates the grounds beautifully, enhancing the atmosphere both around the pool and across the wider estate. On the opposite side of the main house, near the entrance to the annex, are the animal enclosures where horses, donkeys, peacocks, goats, and various birds live peacefully alongside the owners' dogs. The non-heated swimming pool occupies a panoramic position overlooking the hills of Todi, situated on the same level as the main house and directly in front of the portico, accessible from the living room across approximately 15 metres of lawn. The rectangular pool measures 12 x 6 metres, with a depth ranging from 1.20 to 2.70 metres, and features a terracotta border, Roman steps, PVC lining, and chlorine and oxygen purification. The surrounding sunbathing area is paved in terracotta and equipped with sunbeds and umbrellas, while a gazebo furnished with a sofa and coffee table provides welcome shade during the hottest hours of the day.

An enclosed mini-farm on the property is home to donkeys, horses, peacocks, goats, and all kinds of poultry, offering guests a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Every morning and evening, a caretaker visits to tend to the animals and, when available, will bring fresh eggs directly from the henhouse to guests.
