Isola Elba like on a Boat a Dive away from the Sea

The house is located 40 feet from the waters of Punta delle Ripalte, the southernmost tip of the Elba island, very appreciated by divers due to its rich marine fauna! To reach the sea and dive from the rocks you simply need to walk down a brief trail. The space Villa dello Scoglio is located 15 meters from the sea on Punta delle Ripalte, the southernmost tip of Elba, well known among divers because it is among the richest places of marine fauna on the island! To access the sea and take a dip from the rocks, just leave the house and walk along a short path. In fact, it is called Villa dello Scoglio precisely because of the position in which it stands! Many guests compare it to a boat, but with the security of being on land! The Villa dello Scoglio can be reached by leaving the characteristic village of Capoliveri and following a panoramic road overlooking the coast, which runs, dirt and dusty, among the scents of the Mediterranean maquis for about ten kilometers. You immerse yourself in a timeless place where nature is the undisputed master. The house is located within the Tenuta delle Ripalte, a private estate of 400 hectares of forest and Mediterranean scrub, with 12 kilometers of coastline (the Villa dello Scoglio is a property independent of the Tenuta delle Ripalte). Access to this vast area of the Tenuta delle Ripalte, which includes beaches, woods and vines, is only allowed to guests of the Tenuta and the Villa dello Scoglio. This system allows that even on the days of the highest season the people who frequent the beaches of the area are very few! The Villa dello Scoglio is surrounded by Mediterranean scrub interspersed with small oases of oleanders, succulents and tamarisks. The house was built around the 1920s as an outpost for a military photocell at the southernmost tip of Elba, a very important strategic location. The photocell seems to illuminate the island of Montecristo, which is right in front of the horizon. The view is breathtaking, in front of the house the entire Mediterranean Sea opens up in its fullness: you can see the Argentario and the islands of Giglio, Montecristo and Pianosa. To the east you can even see Corsica, behind which the sun sets, giving magnificent sunsets. It's the ideal place to rest from the hectic life. It is a place for amateurs: you fall in love with it if you like to be guests in a "wild" territory, secluded in nature, do 12 kilometers of dirt road to reach the town of Capoliveri, dive from the rocks under the house in a pristine sea, see few people even on August 15, and be able to use your mobile phone only from a rock. If you want to reach some compromise, you can access the estate to a beach equipped with every comfort: bathrooms, showers, deckchairs, umbrellas, lifeguard, bar and restaurant with vlan (where grilled fish and meat are served every day). Also within the estate, you can reach other beaches of the Costa dei Gabbiani that are wild and unequipped, each more beautiful than the last. The house lends itself very well to being lived in the outdoor spaces: the blue sails of the veranda offer a gentle shade to the outdoor table on which you can dine while admiring the colors of the sea and you can relax in the sun on the deckchairs and sunbeds. There is also a barbecue with a countertop and a practical outdoor shower with hot water heated by the sun (hot until around 7:00 p.m.). In three minutes, along a path flanked by a small stream, you can reach the rocks below from which you can take a dip in the blue water. Spring offers a riot of color with pink flowers that cover most of the rock. The interior furnishings have been chosen over the years by the owners with simplicity and taste. The kitchen is independent and is connected to the outside of the barbecue through a window. The living room is connected to the veranda by two French doors, a window opens the view of the sea. The room is very bright and consists of a living area and a dining table. Above the living room overlooks a white-painted wooden loft with two comfortable beds. There are two sleeping areas, an area at the back of the house with a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower, with direct access to the garden and the outdoor shower; the other sleeping area is reached from the living room through a corridor overlooking a bedroom with a bunk bed, a bathroom with shower and a double bedroom with sea view. The night offers a magnificent surprise: if there is a moon, its light is so strong that it is possible to move around without a flashlight. If there is no moon, the starry sky is incredible, in fact the entire Milky Way is visible! The area is particularly attractive for those who love nature and are looking for peace and quiet. A vacation at the Scoglio is a real immersion in nature: you can wake up with some nice animals outside the window that say good morning (a hedgehog, a goat, a bird...) and in the evening, if you do not close the bedroom windows well, perhaps leaving the lights on, you risk going to sleep with the sympathy of a zzzzz in the ear (you must remember that the lights of the house are the only lights in the area of several kilometers). Recommendations: - Car: it is advisable to avoid arriving with a particularly low car, in fact the road to get to the house is totally unpaved for 8km. - Children: given the location of the house on the cliff, with free access to the sea and the lack of fences, it may not be a safe place for young children who must be constantly kept an eye on - Swimming under the house: being the southernmost tip of the island of Elba, it is important to check the sea currents before swimming - Fresh water: being an island, it is necessary to use little water. In summer in particular, the estate is also supplied by tankers. The house is connected to the center by a (URL HIDDEN) and is equipped with a spare tank for safety. THINGS TO KNOW - Mobile: throughout the Ripalte Estate, the mobile phone signal is not always present. From the house, you can only use your mobile phone from a certain point. Vodafone is the operator that works best. Starting this year, we have installed WLAN internet. It seems to work, but I can't guarantee a great connection. - Nightlife: for those who want to find it every night, this is not the right place. - Connections: although it has not yet happened, given the pristine place, there is the remote possibility that some nice wild animal gnaws a wire of the current mistaking it for a succulent spaghetti.
