The Tenuta di Bolgheri is located in Western Tuscany, along the coast of the Upper Maremma, an area noted for its Granducal history. The estate, bordering the village of Bolgheri, is set among the hills of Bibbona, in a highly-acclaimed wine growing region celebrated for its unique "terroir." Castles and watch towers, surrounded by lush forests, frame olive groves and vineyards that reach down to the Tirranean Sea. The Island of Elba, just off the coast and facing the estate, offers protection from strong sea winds.The Villa dates back to the 18th century, during which time it was used by the Accademia dei Georgofili, an agrarian research institute founded by Leopold II in 1753, as a base from which to study the local agriculture. In subsequent periods, the building was used for a variety of purposes before being completely restored. The style of the Villa, combined with its exceptional position, offers a truly enchanting atmosphere.

PROPERTY FEATURES

Tenuta di Bolgheri is an extraordinary place, combining the elegant simplicity of a Tuscan farmhouse, perched atop the hills of the Magona forest, with singular views sweeping over the 80 hectares of the estate vineyards and down to the luminous blue water of the Mediterranean. The grounds, consisting of one garden after another, provide a feeling of tranquility that becomes increasingly private as one moves from one corner to the other.The landscape harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding Tuscan countryside. An elegant and secluded swimming pool is framed by towering cypresses while the grounds, from the aromatic herbs to traditional garden blooms, from olive trees to the classic lemon grove, perfectly provide the sights and smells of Tuscany.

Developed by a team of important Italian architects, the house has a unique feel. Guests are immediately welcomed into an open central salon with an impressive vaulted ceiling. From here, one can move easily among several charming seating areas. The relaxed elegance of the furnishings and decoration strikes the perfect balance between comfort and refinement. The upper floors provide even more privacy, with four en suite rooms. Each is thoughtfully decorated and furnished to enhance the atmospheres and views unique to each room. The suites are differently appointed; yet all maintain the signature classical luxury style of the Tenuta. Colours and fabrics have been chosen to maximize the shades and textures found in the surrounding landscape. From olive green to aquamarine, from the burnt orange of the terracotta tiles to the intense yellow of the sun, one not only discovers but also experiences the unique nature of Tuscany. Some of the rooms have been extensively painted by local artists. Pastoral scenes highlighting native flora and fauna give a sense of place and celebrate this very special part of Tuscany.
