Overview
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. While the traditional features convey authentic Tuscan style - exposed timber beams, barn style buildings and white-washed oak flooring - the interiors are finished with perfect contemporary polish and quality.
Set in a rural spot, with wonderful far reaching views, guests will stop to draw breath as they encounter this luxuriantly-quirky home which embodies understated prestige of impeccable taste and style. Stunningly secluded in a rustic spot surrounded by rolling hills, Villa Airone is framed by trellis-covered verandas with a “cloister” feel, balconies offering panoramic views and expansive lawns.
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. Imagine sitting back at the end of a day on the beach, as the sun softens over the hills, enjoying aperitivi and a local wine!
The living spaces are chic and classic - finished with panache and style, wonderfully selected furnishings in quality raw materials, whilst artefects, wonderful artwork and ambient lighting make this space very much and “home from home” - it couldn’t be further from a sterile, anonymous holiday 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, whilst every comfort is provided whether guests be holidaying in summer or winter. Leather, mahogany, solid wood, marble and stone - bookshelves with interesting reads and eastern spiritualism inspired statues - this home is brimming with character and individual verve.
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 finished with impeccable taste and style, each with its own bathroom and far reaching views, elegant design accents with stunningly selected furnishings, crisp quality bed linen and abundant fluffy towels.
For a stylish, effortlessly luxurious and prestigious Tuscan holiday environment, where subtle opulence abounds, 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, simply look no further!
Please note the indoor swimming pool (at an extra cost) is currently closed until further notice due to maintenance issues.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa AironeThe 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 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.
At just ten minutes from the local beaches, there are an array of options to choose from, while these are generally not of a commercial nature and the sea is among the most uncontaminated of the Italian coast.
For outdoors enthusiasts, the options for strolling and hill walking are plentiful, while history and archaeology lovers will enjoy the castles, monuments and historical preserves that the region offers. Autumn is a wonderful time to visit the thermal baths at Saturnia, while spring offers a vibrant explosion of flowers and plants.
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, the 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!

Region
The picturesque Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a mesmerising destination that encapsulates the essence of Italian culture, history, and natural beauty. With its rolling hills, charming medieval towns, and renowned art, Siena offers a captivating experience for travellers. One of the region's most famous attractions is the historic city of Siena itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's unique feature is the Piazza del Campo, a stunning shell-shaped square that hosts the world-famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race held twice a year. The Torre del Mangia, a towering bell tower, offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside, allowing visitors to fully appreciate Siena's historic and architectural splendour.
Tuscany
With its rolling fields, historical heritage and a cuisine that’s a delight for all the senses, it’s no wonder Tuscany is one of the most popular regions in Italy for holidaymakers. Yet even with its popularity, you can still kick back in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany and feel peace, tranquillity and the joy of seclusion.
This is one destination that really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you’re travelling with family, friends or are just looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Airone is an ideal family space, with large safe lawns and open lateral spaces, offering wonderfully quiet and cool bedrooms for siestas and an array of choices for children snacks. Older children will enjoy the barbecue and the novelty of the outdoor pool, whilst youngsters of all ages will enjoy hours of splashy fun in the outdoor pool.
The lawns provide ample space for games, a kick around and hide and seek, whilst the comfortable lounge and television space with multiple channels will hit the spot when “downtime” is needed.
The local beaches are fantastic, whilst Italians welcome children into restaurants with fervour. The housekeeper will gladly provide any toddler or baby care essentials upon request.
For day trips, among the highlights for children in Tuscany, Pinocchio Park Collodi is a great day out - Collodi is home to a theme park dedicated to Pinocchi and his adventures, with activities like literary itineraries, buildings and sculptures set amidst the greenery, art exhibitions and illustrations, puppet making work shops and more. Rather than being a Disney style park, it is more a cultural and natural environment, very Italian in style.
Pistoia zoo is located in the hills near Pistoia and is one of the most popular zoos in Italy; covering a space of seven hectares and an array of species for a fun and educational day out.
The water park, Aqua Village is located in Follonica, near Grosetto, and offers a range of slides and rides from gentle toddler splash pools to more thrill-seeker level for older children.
From hiking, to horse riding, to waterspouts, to cultural heritage, children of all ages will learn so much from a visit to Tuscany: what could be more enchanting than a day of dolphin watching in the reserve known as Pelagos Sanctuary in Viareggio, followed by a meal in a local hilltop restaurant - offering sublime, flavoursome local specialities followed by wonderful gelato and cream filled pastry treats that the region is known for.

Perfect!
We had a wonderful time at your house! Your house is so extremely nice with a lot of details, so many nice places to read a book or have a siesta. The garden, the view, the rooms, the different baths and the kitchen - all is perfect and we felt comfortable the minute we arrived. The two ladies are taking perfect care of us and we are really enjoying the time at Villa Airone. We know the region pretty well, my grandfather had a house in Castiglione Della Pescaia. And my wife and I got married near Siena - we were travelling all around the world, and visited a lot of places, but at the end of the day we always had to say that not one region worldwide will beat Tuscany! And especially with a house like yours! Thanks for everything

Wonderful stay
We've had a wonderful stay at Villa Airone for the last five weeks. The hosts have taken great care of us. We've been exploring the area and visiting vineyards & local restaurants & enjoyed lazy days with our dog, Maya, on Spiaggia Macchiatonda! And a special mention to Sarah who deserves many thanks for her concierge services.

Amazing home
We feel blessed to have spent 2 wonderful weeks in your amazing home. Everything has been perfect. The house is incredible, beautifully designed and so welcoming and comfortable. The pool is the best we have ever swum in. And the location is truly beautiful. We have loved exploring this part of Italy and have fallen in love with Capalbio. The hosts have been amazing and we are going home with many extra kilos. Thank you so much, we hope to return soon.
