Park:
The property of Casale Grottini extends for 22 hectares on hilly arable land cultivated with olive groves and vineyards interspersed with wooded areas of holm oaks and cork oaks, in the unique setting of this area of the Tuscan Maremma. The unfenced park of the house (5000 sq m) is characterised by gravel areas, a young olive grove, portions of woodland with controlled Mediterranean scrub and a well-kept lawn bordering the perimeter of the house and the pool. The park extends over several terraced levels, served by stairs and steps in travertine, surrounded by walls of local stone and bordered by colourful bushes and aromatic herbs such as lavender, rosemary and laurel. Outside the French windows of the open-plan area on the ground floor is the portico furnished with tables and chairs for dining outdoors while enjoying the view of the sea on the horizon between the Argentario and Talamone and, on the clearest days, the beautiful island of Montecristo. A few steps from the swimming pool is the bamboo pergola with outdoor lounge and electric barbecue, ideal for sipping an aperitif while admiring enchanting sunsets. The external lighting is with crepuscular sensors and guaranteed by spotlights and lanterns in corten with a soft light that surrounds all the areas used by the guests. 50 metres past the automatic vehicle gate is the bamboo-covered parking area for 3 cars as well as an open parking space; from here the ground floor of the house is reached by going down 11 steps and crossing slabs of travertine on the lawn, then continuing along the paving to the 17-step external staircase up to the first floor.
Please notice that photos are taken in spring, therefore flower blossoming, and the colours of the gardens' grass could be different at the moment of your arrival at the villa.
