Villa Tuscany, Region Grosseto near Talamone

Villa Craig - Italy, Tuscany, Province of Grosseto, Talamone

Villa Craig after undergoing a complete restoration has become the ideal house to rent for extraordinary holidays by the Tuscan Coast. Tucked away in a magical corner of Southern Tuscany, perched up on top of a cliff which overlooks the sea, not too far from places of historical interest, and amongst the authentic natural wonders of the Maremma Natural Park, stands the this tower, a historic Spanish tower erected to protect against the Saracen invasions. One cannot help but be impressed by the wonderful views and the natural beauty which appear before one's eyes and which can be fully appreciated from every corner of the Tower.
The Tower is soon to feature in the upcoming James Bond film 'Quantum of Solace', a sure sign of a classy accommodation!
The Villa is set on private land, closed with an electronic security gate. One cannot be but thoroughly impressed by the wonderful view and the natural beauties which appear before one’s eyes and which can be fully appreciated from every corner of the Tower. A small boulevard of magnificent agave cacti lead to the front door, creating a romantic and exotic atmosphere.
On entering the front door, to our right we come across a wide open space, which is a dining area with fireplace, and two double bedrooms each with independent bathrooms; one with bathtub facilities and the other with a shower. Continuing on, along the entrance corridor and to the left of the dining room, we find a fully equipped modern kitchen, and at the end of the corridor there is a third bedroom, this too has its own bathroom.
At the end of this corridor there is a staircase which leads to the first floor.

Here we find a big living-room, equipped with air conditioning and fireplace, and from which one is free to admire a fabulous view at 180°. This living-room is furnished with comfortable lounge chairs and couches, on one side of the room and, on the other there is a rectangular antique wooden table which can easily accommodate up to 8 people. From this living-room, one has access to a splendid terrace which is divided into two areas: dining on one side and relaxation on the other, where we also find deckchairs suitable for sunbathing. The view from the terrace is breathtaking: it captures Porto S. Stefano and the hills of Mount Argentario on one side, and Talamone, with its charming walled town, and the hills of the Uccellina Natural Park on the other. One can also admire a spectacular view of the islands of Giannutri, Giglio and Montecristo, this last island being a very famous marine park. On returning to the open space on the ground floor there is a small staircase which leads to the lookout tower. This, too, has been restored, and is divided into two floors. It is made up of a double bedroom, with small bathroom containing shower facilities, walk in wardrobe and living-room corner. From the second floor, one has access to a small terrace.

The Tower is equipped with satellite television, direct telephone and internet. Every window has mosquito nets, and every bedroom has ceiling fans.
The house is surrounded by two terraces, one of which has been transformed into a splendid panoramic lookout, amongst the greenery of the garden, and deckchairs. It is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the wonderful sunshine, or after sunset, to enjoy the company of good friends and a glass of wine around the barbecue. There is also own independent walking trail which leads to the sea.
