Description

Tucked away in a magical corner of Southern Tuscany, perched on top of a cliff overlooking the sea, surrounded by the authentic natural wonders of the Maremma Natural Park, stands La Torre di Talamonaccio, a historic Spanish tower erected to protect against the Saracen invasions. Guests enjoy breathtaking views from every corner of the Tower. After undergoing complete restoration, La Torre di Talamonaccio has become the ideal rental property for an extraordinary holiday on the Tuscan Coast. La Torre di Talamonaccio was featured in the latest James Bond film entitled, “Quantum of Solace”; a sure sign of a top notch accommodation! As you leave the Via Aurelia, on reaching the kilometer signpost 157, and continuing just a few hundred meters through the Mediterranean scrub, you begin to see the Tower, located on private property and closed off by an electronic security gate. Magnificent agave cacti align the path to the front door, creating a romantic and exotic atmosphere. On entering the front door, to the right is a dining area with fireplace, and two double bedrooms each with independent bathrooms: one with a bathtub; the other with a shower. Continuing on, along the entrance corridor and to the left of the dining room, we find a fully equipped modern kitchen. At the end of the corridor there is a third bedroom with private bath, complete with bathtub and shower. On the first floor we find a large air conditioned living room with fireplace, where one can relish a magnificent 180° panorama. This living-room is furnished with comfortable armchairs and sofas at one end, and an antique wooden dining table which can seat up to 8 people at the other. From this living-room, one has access to a splendid terrace which is divided into two areas: dining on one side and deckchairs for relaxation and sunbathing on the other. The view from the terrace is spectacular. It captures Porto S. Stefano and the hills of Mount Argentario; Talamone, with its charming walled town; the hills of the Uccellina Natural Park; as well as the islands of Giannutri, Giglio and Montecristo. On returning to the open space on the ground floor, there is a small staircase which leads to the lookout tower. This, too, has been restored, and is divided into two floors. The lower level has a bedroom with fireplace; the upper level has a sitting room, dressing room, small bathroom with shower, and terrace. La Torre di Talamonaccio is equipped with satellite television and internet. Every window has mosquito screens and every bedroom has ceiling fans. Amidst the greenery of the garden, a terrace has been transformed into a splendid panoramic lookout. It is the perfect place to sit and bask in the sunshine, take a dip in the swimming pool, or to enjoy the company of good friends and a glass of wine around the barbecue after sunset. From La Torre, a path leads to the sea and a sunbathing bed.
