Where the Sea Meets the Sky Rosignano Marittimo, Tuscany

Property Description

Set atop a cliff, this wondrous white house really is the ‘pearl of the Tyrrhenian’. Carefully preserved by generations of aristocratic families, this historic home – dating back to 1820 – wears in heritage very much on its sleeve. Boasting inimitable interiors characterised by terracotta and parquet floors, walls adorned with Renaissance-era paintings and period furniture, you’ll find this Italian idyll utterly transporting. Set within its own grounds, surrounded by holm oak trees and overlooking the sea, this home’s outdoor offering is equally if not more enticing.
Take your morning coffee out onto the terracotta sea view terrace, dine alfresco in the garden or find a quiet spot to read under the veranda. Come dinnertime get your grill on before chilling out in the comfortable seating area surrounded by greenery. Make a beeline for the first-floor terrace at sundown for more spectacular sea views. At the day’s end retreat inside for family games or movie night by the fire before climbing the marble staircase to bed. Indulge in a long, hot soak in the tub before hitting the hay, you won’t regret it.
Alternatively, take the steps from the bottom of the garden and emerge from the trees out onto a private sea bathing area. You’ll be able to bliss out all day here if you want to. We don’t know about you, but that sounds like heaven to us.
