Il Padule

Basic information

is a refurbished Tuscan seaside villa located near Donoratico on the Tyrrhenian coast. It's separated from its semi-private beach by just a few metres of dunes and Mediterranean brush. The Medieval town of Bolgheri is a 15 minute drive away. The villa stands in a vast agricultural and hunting estate which extends for hundreds of hectares making Il Padule a truly unique seaside property for the entire length of the Tuscan coast. Guests staying at Il Padule will not only have the benefit of the beach, 200 meters from the villa, but also the space, tranquillity and privacy of the surrounding estate. It is therefore ideal for solitary walks in the pine forest and bicycle rides as well as providing exceptional opportunities for horse back riding. At Il Padule it won?t be uncommon for guests to see deer, wild boar, rabbits, pheasants an other fauna. On the beach guests will enjoy a covered beach cabin and plenty of sun loungers. There is also a tennis court with an artificial surface. The villa is spacious and furnished in a contemporary style with fully fly-screened bedroom windows. There is a comfortable summer covered terrace for dining al fresco, and external sitting area with sofas in the garden. The villa is surrounded by a perfectly tended lawn and garden offering plenty of space for families with and without children. The villa is serviced by a house keeper working for 4 hours 6 days a week, on request an expert cook can take care of preparing delicious Tuscan meals within the villa's kitchen. A holiday at Il Padule will be a most relaxing experience. In August Il Padule is rented for the entire month only.
