Sitting nestled away amongst glorious umbrella pines on the stunning, wild coastline of Southern Tuscany, is La Casetta, a totally unspoiled, lovely Sea front Cottage. With breathtaking, sweeping views out towards the bay of Le Cannelle and the neighbouring islands of Giglio and Giannutri (almost floating on the Mediterranean horizon) it is no wonder that La Casetta is simply one of our best kept secrets and a truly hidden gem.
The property is comprised of the main cottage sleeping up to 2 with an ensuite bathroom and small, practical kitchen and sitting room. There is a further separate dependence which also sleeps two with ensuite bathroom. Between the main cottage and separate dependence is a charming decking area, where one can enjoy romantic dinners in the evening or a breezy drawn-out, summer lunch.
Another key feature that sets La Casetta apart from so many other villas in the neighbouring area, is the fact that it is tucked away within private gated grounds, thus granting direct access to the sea via a scenic path. The picturesque path eventually leads down to a Rocky cove/rock pool from where you can swim, almost undisturbed, in the clearest blue waters of the bay and paddle over to the beach of Le Cannelle just next-door for a panino at the bustling beach bar.
Guests of La Casetta are lucky enough to be granted automatic membership to the Private Swimming Pool Beach Club of Le Cannelle, home to a very large, almost Olympic-sized swimming pool and restaurant bar located a few hundred meters set back from the beach and aforementioned, atmospheric beach bar.
Essentially, this is a simple, seaside home ideal for couples and small parties looking for an affordable base from which to enjoy a relaxing week away, throughout the year; making the most of the decked lookout area and exploring some of the most magnificent, untouched bit of Tuscan coastline. Binoculars come recommended!
