Three Bedroom Split Level Apartment Tuscany Coast

Conte is a pretty apartment on two floors, one of three semi detached houses, each with their own terrace, on a beautiful estate in the heart of the countryside yet within walking distance of the medieval hilltop village of Monteverdi Marittima and close to the Tuscan coast and its fine beaches. Within the vast grounds of the estate is a large swimming pool and plenty of areas for relaxing and enjoying the sun and surroundings. Another highlight is the unique heated swimming pool covered with a wonderful travertine vaulted ceiling.

The estate itself is home to an amazing and internationally famous artist who lives in the main Florentine style villa. Examples of his work can be seen in a large garden on the estate, practically an open air gallery displaying bronze and travertine statues both favourite materials of the artist. With great care and attention the owner has transformed lovely stone houses on the estate into pretty apartments. He has personally overseen all the restorations and added many of his own artistic touches creating lovely accommodation in a simplistic and comfortable style.

Conte, one of three semi detached apartments, is on two floors and comfortably furnished in simple Tuscan country style. The ground floor consists of a lovely living area with settee (which converts to a double bed on request to accommodate extra persons), dining table and chairs, kitchen area, and shower room. A stone spiral staircase leads to the first floor where there are three bedrooms and a shower room. One of the bedrooms has a double bed, the second has twin beds (which can convert to a double on request) and the third has bunk beds. There is a little balcony on the first floor and in front and rear of the house at ground level are paved patios furnished with table, chairs, and sun shade perfect for dining al fresco, and there is a barbeque for guests use.

There is plenty more space in the extensive grounds and around the large swimming pool (16m x 8m) where there is a sunbathing area. There is also a unique heated covered swimming pool (9m x 3m) and a shower w/c for guests use, as well as a laundry area with washing machine (payable locally) and parking within the grounds of the estate. There is also a lovely communal room on the estate containing some exhibits of the owners art work, a satellite television, and where breakfast and dinner can be served on request.

Conte is in a lovely location, surrounded by wooded countryside yet the ancient village of Monteverdi Marittimo, with its shops and restaurant is just 500m away and can be reached on foot. There are a further selection of amenities at Castagneto Carducci and the nearest lovely beaches of the Tuscan coast are less than half an hours’ drive away. There is much to see in the nearby area, the beautiful bay of Baratti overlooked by the interesting historical town of Populonia, lovely nature parks, Etruscan ruins and even the Isle of Elba is easily reached via the ferry port less than an hours’ drive away. The spectacular town of Massa Marittima is close by and the famous historic cities of San Gimignano, and Volterra, as well as the art centres of Siena and Florence, are all easily visited in a day.
