*** 2018'S FINALIST OF THE EUROPEAN HOLIDAY HOME AWARD 2018 AS BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY HOLIDAY HOME *** Surrounded by pines, oleanders, rosemary's and Mediterranean bush, Villa Montecristo sits in the southwest coast of the Island, at 50mt from the sea, near the beautiful beaches of Seccheto (3 minutes on foot - it's just 150 mt), Cavoli (5 minutes on foot) Fetovaia (five minutes by car). The real estate property consists of a charming Villa (13 people) and of smaller a dependency (4 people), that all together can sleep a total of 17 people. Upon request, the dependency can be rented, only together with the villa, at the weekly rate of € 350,00/€ 650,00 (depending on the season) Villa Montecristo is a XIX century charming Tuscan house with a spectacular sea view overlooking the isles of Montecristo and Pianosa, the bay of Seccheto and the ridge of Fetovaia. From May to mid/end October, it offers a unique and stunning pool carved out in an ancient granite quarry, entirely made of stone: its infinity edge makes you feel like you are swimming in the open sea while you are swimming in the pool! The Villa is lavishly furnished with antiques, paintings, and prints; it is characterized by a wide beamed ceiling drawing room with granite stairs and wood gallery. The spacious garden has tree-shaded and sunny areas; there is also a thatch covered terrace ideal for eating outside. The rooms have tiled floors and are spacious and furnished with 19th-century antiques. Both the living room and the kitchen have doors leading into the garden. During spring and summer, we have two showers in the garden (cold water only) perfect for cooling after a long day on the beach! The nearest village is Seccheto, to be reached in less than 5 minutes on foot. Final cleanings costs, water, electricity, heating and, if needed, linen expenses are NOT included in the weekly rate and will be settled on arrival /departure. The property is located adjacent to the main road: this ideal location, so close to the beach and to the village, results in many passing cars - mostly during peak season when people go to and come back from the sea. The sidewalk along the road could be narrow in some points so we recommend young children be accompanied by adults when leaving the property. Upon request, the dependency can be rented, only together with the villa, at the weekly rate of € 350,00/€ 650,00 (depending on the season)
