If you're looking to experience a real taste of rural Italy, this villa located just outside of the small town of Bibbona is a Mediterranean dream come true. Set amidst six hectares of green parkland (one of which presents the villa's private garden), prepare to immerse yourself into an abundance of peace and serenity. A modern build, the home was finished back in 2002 and thanks to its high-quality finishings and construction techniques, it doesn't appear to have aged a day. Either that or like a new pair of Levi jeans – it's only getting better with age. Its interior welcomes modern lines and neutral colours in keeping with the tranquil setting outside in the garden. Think olive trees, grassy lawns, and an array of Mediterranean flowers that stand elegantly in pots and flower beds dotted all around. Whether you're by the pool with an Aperol Spritz in hand, swinging in the hammock, playing a game of table football or doing a home workout on the gym equipment under the shaded pergola – enjoy the sweet smell of the perfumed air diffused with every light breeze. Positioned just 3 kilometres away from the villages of Casale Marittimo and Bibbona – make the most of the local conveniences, which are within easy reach by car. For the beach, head to Bau Beach – only a thirteen-minute drive away. Meanwhile, you'll find the more happening city of Livorno reachable in just forty-five minutes by car.
