The Property
15 Minutes To
Massa Marittima
Cobbled streets, medieval charm, and a thousand-year-old cathedral — a fifteen-minute drive from your terrace, with the sea on the horizon. The rare town you can visit on a whim, not a whole day out.
Discover the Town-
3,000 Years Ago
The Etruscans mined these metal-bearing hills three thousand years ago. The butteri, Tuscany's last working cowboys, still herd cattle on horseback across the plains below. Through all of it, the same view held.
-
The Land
The Maremma is the Tuscany that stayed itself — less discovered than Chianti, more untamed than the Val d'Orcia. The estate sits at the centre of it, high on the Colline Metallifere: olive groves, pine and forest, threaded with walking paths that all end at a view.
-
The House
The hill is three thousand years old; the house does not rest on that. Every suite has been renovated recently and completely — marble bathrooms, new beds dressed in fine linens, fully fitted kitchens, and fine art on the walls.
-
Today
The estate was never conceived as a resort. It is a home that opens its doors — its work is not to invent an experience of Tuscany but to keep a real one intact, and to hold the gate open.
Weddings & Events
Weddings Under the Tuscan Sun
Ceremonies on the hilltop terrace, cocktail hour rolling straight into sunset, and a reception that spills from the marble into the vineyard rows — with the sea and the islands on the horizon.
