An authentic Tuscan escape where rustic elegance meets serene natural beauty

Set amidst the rolling hills of Tuscany’s Maremma region, Villa Calliope is a stunning seven-bedroom villa perfect for a countryside escape with loved ones. The villa seamlessly combines rustic charm and sophisticated elegance, blending traditional Tuscan architecture with the comforts of modern living.

A cypress-lined avenue leads to the villa’s expansive grounds, which feature manicured lawns and verdant gardens filled with native Tuscan plants, such as fragrant lavender and rosemary. The centrepiece of the garden is an 18-metre swimming pool with a natural rock diving board and a relaxing waterfall feature. On one side of the pool, there are plenty of sun loungers, perfect for soaking up the Tuscan sun. On the other side, a pergola-shaded lounge area and ample outdoor dining space ensure maximum comfort for al fresco meals, from leisurely breakfasts to starlit dinners.

A separate outdoor shed is home to a traditional wood-fired oven, ideal for making authentic Italian pizzas, perhaps with the guidance of a professional pizzaiolo, turning a meal into a memorable event. Adding to the farmhouse experience are a flourishing vegetable garden and charming chicken coop, offering fresh produce daily.

Nearby, a covered outdoor gym is perfect for guests looking to remain active during their stay. For moments of quiet relaxation and rejuvenation, the villa also boasts a private spa with a sauna and wellness area.

The villa’s thick stone exterior walls, typical of the region, speak of centuries of history, while inside, exposed wooden beams and terracotta floors maintain an authentic connection to the land. The living areas are bright and airy, with high, beamed ceilings and glass doors that open straight out to the gardens. The lounge room is spacious yet cosy, with hand-picked furniture, plush sofas, and a crackling fireplace as its focal point. A wide archway leads through to the dining room, with its traditional stone walls and a beautiful wooden table, inviting elegant dining experiences.

The chef’s kitchen, boasting state-of-the-art appliances and a professional-grade stove, is a dream for culinary enthusiasts, inviting gourmet meal preparation amidst the stunning countryside. It also features a wine cellar, allowing for the perfect meal pairings.

With four bedrooms in the main villa, plus a three-bedroom annexe, the property comfortably accommodates up to 14 guests. Each room features a queen-size bed, en-suite facilities, and doors that open out to the gardens.

With its beautiful grounds, traditional features, and modern amenities, Villa Calliope is the perfect choice for a luxury holiday with loved ones near the stunning Tuscan coast.

Nb. For larger groups, Villa Calliope can be booked together with neighbouring Villa Galatea. These properties share a driveway but are around 800 metres from one another, ensuring privacy and seclusion.

About the area

Villa Calliope is located on the Tenuta della Sgrilla estate, near Capalbio, in the heart of the Tuscan Maremma. The region is renowned for its wild beauty, rolling hills, and proximity to both the sea and historic towns.

Capalbio is often hailed as “The Little Athens” of Tuscany due to its historical and cultural significance. Perched on a hill, this medieval village is renowned for its well-preserved walls and charming historic centre, offering stunning views of the Maremma countryside and the Tyrrhenian Sea. Just outside Capalbio lies The Tarot Garden, a unique and fantastical sculpture garden by artist Niki de Saint Phalle.

The villa also offers easy access to the rugged beaches of the Argentario coast, the rejuvenating thermal waters of Saturnia, and the WWF Oasis at Lake Burano, a vital wetland ecosystem teeming with birdlife. The region’s natural beauty offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities, including hiking, cycling, and horse riding along scenic trails.
