Castiglione della Pescaia, Toscana
STUNNING VILLA WITH POOL CLOSE TO PRISTINE BEACHES
Our charming and comfortable villa is situated on 7 acres of D’Uliva olive groves surrounded by rolling Tuscan hills with breathtaking views. It lies in the unspoilt region of Maremma where tourism goes hand-in-hand with local traditions. It was rebuilt by us with love and care. Our whole property is fenced therefore, suitable for families with children and pets. It has a well manicured garden and a beautiful loggia to watch the sunset. It has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and sleeps 11. The living room is airy and the kitchen is fully equipped. On the right side of the house is a pergola with a barbeque and an al fresco dining area with direct access to the kitchen. The pergola overlooks a 12 x 6 m landscaped private pool with a diving board. In various parts of the house there are al-fresco dining areas and different locations to relax depending on your mood. The property provides complete privacy. We recently finished the pool house with open bar to enjoy your long evenings by the pool under the Tuscan sun.

clean, super hosts, beautiful house and garden
This villa was everything and more than we could have hoped for! A fantastic first impression as you drive through the gates and up to the villa entrance. The beautiful garden full of flowers and herbs and the splendid pool with views of the hills beyond. The villa was so well equipped. Everything was there. We felt so at home. Very comfortable and grand interior and lovely bedrooms. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. we were so sorry to have to leave. Would love to return one day.
Wonderful hosts, a great home in a quiet setting. We will be back!
Lovely place, very quiet suited. It seems like an older house, but with modern standards and a lot of space (we were 4 grownups and 5 children). Kitchen with everything needed. Outside a nice garden, a really big pool (much frequented cause of high temperatures) - we missed nothing. Rita and Guiseppe welcomed us. Best hosts you can imagine. For example Rita not only made reservations for restaurants, she also ordered a birthday cake for our son as a surprise...
Great villa, suitable for two families with up to ten people. The house is great, the pool us awesome and the garden is huge. Enough pots and pans available. Downside are the muskitos in the morning and evening. But you can prepare for that!!! Hosts are great and have lots of great ideas for dinner and visits.
This is our 3rd time staying in this beautiful villa ( and won’t be our last ) . Each year the owners have made new improvements despite us thinking it just could not be improved! It is extremely well equipped if you are wanting to cook and enjoy the food in the beautiful dining room or in several of the outdoor eating areas. Our 10 & 7 year olds never tire of the fun to be had in the pool and due to the very private location there are no concerns about their whoops and screams of delight! Despite the idyllic, peaceful setting of the villa it is only a short drive to the coast and numerous bars and restaurants. Thankyou once again Rita for letting out your beautiful home.
We've been traveling as two families (4 adults and 5 kids aged 10-16) for Summer vacation for many years and this year's trip to Il Peperoncino overall was the most relaxing and enjoyable. The large property is beautifully landscaped and offers numerous places to spend time as a group, but also to sneak away on your own with a book in the shade of olive trees. The very large pool was the main attraction for the kids, the adults loved the beautiful views, the atmosphere especially at dawn or dusk, as well as the walk up to Vetulonia. The owners Rita and Guisepppe were always most helpful and responsive - we couldn't have asked for nicer hosts.
The beautiful villa has a very welcoming and homely feeling. It was a pleasure to see how the children enjoyed the big pool while relaxing with a stunning view. Rita was so friendly and helpful with all our requests. She had all the contacts we needed to make lovely excursions, finding the great local restaurants and shopping. At the end of our stay we also took home the olive oil which was pressed from the olive trees on the property. We will certainly go back another time. :-) Jennifer
We were a group of 11 adults and stayed at Peperoncino for two weeks in August. The house is ideal with all necessary facilities . Rooms are comfortable with three out of five being air conditioned, although the basement room could do with being more airy. With four bathrooms and outside shower queues were avoided and the kitchen and living spaces were well equipped and spacious. Outside facilities include an excellent swimming pool (deep enough for diving from the popular spring board) with pool house and plenty of sun beds and umbrellas. The outside dining area has ample tables and barbeque/cooking equipment and the setting offers pleasant scenery. Several beaches and other places of interest are within easy reach . Rita and Giuseppe were welcoming, helpful and informative. We had a wonderful holiday and would definitely go back!
After a fair few days of searching we found this villa on the website. The moment we contacted Rita regarding this to the end of the holiday we were guided by her on every step of the way. This was our first visit to Tuscany with our three children. Rita and her team gave their personal touch to our stay and were easy to contact if we needed any advice. The accommodation was substantial for the five of us with a great pool, pool house, outdoor seating all around with olive, plum and other trees in the property. From deciding to chill out within the property to driving to nearby towns we had plenty of choice. We visited Lucca, Siena and Massa Maritima all of which were within a few hours drive from the property. Trains are available from the nearby station of Follonica which is half an hour drive from the villa. We took the train to visit Pisa which we enjoyed immensely. Parking can be a bit tricky in busy times but once again with Rita's guidance we were able to find them easily. The nearest beach is in Castiglione Della Pescaia, a 20 minute drive. Pre-booked beach umbrellas with the help of Rita helped us reach, park and enjoy our time on the beach which had excellent facilities including play area for children/adults. (€35.00 for one set!) The villa was equipped with everything families need including beach towels, all kitchen equipment (food processor, dish washer, washing machine). The pool is excellent and suited our children (youngest being 9) who are good swimmers. This may not suit small children and being outdoor was subject to some exposure to dirt, insects and as the cleaning is only once a week, we had to use the nets available to clean before we could use them. Our only trouble (as is expected for a very warm, dry place which had little rainfall recently) was to deal with bites from insects/ants and the constant buzzing around us in the shady parts of the villa especially close to the plum tree with insects being attracted by the fallen fruits. Plenty of insect repellents did not seem to work. The location of the villa ia a little remote and up a dirt road which is narrow. We recommend taking it extremely slow for the first time to avoid skids. We also recommend arriving during daylight hours to be able to find the property (Rita and her team are a great help though if you are a little stuck). These should certainly not stop one from choosing this brilliant place to relax and loose yourself in this fabulous part of Italy.
