Il Passo Degli Ulivi, Civitella Paganico, Grosseto and Maremma

This lovely property in Grosseto province is an ideal base if you’re a party of up to seven guests wishing to explore this unsung area of Tuscany. Within easy reach are the city of Grosseto and the wild Maremma coast, a lovely place to spend a day on the sands. Set in neat, well-maintained gardens, with accommodation across one level, Il Passo has been refurbished to a high standard in country villa style, but with contemporary twists in its colour palette, modern soft furnishings and tiling. Divided into two apartments, it offers a degree of flexibility, allowing two guests, who perhaps crave their own space, a bit of independence. (All the better if they’re musical because they get their own piano, too.)

While the inside is very comfortably kitted out, outside, the large private pool, complete with Jacuzzi, is all yours to enjoy. Take your pick from the three outdoor spaces from which to take in the superb rural views. Chill out on the large furnished terrace or create a memorable meal and come together in the loggia to dine al-fresco, finishing with a nightcap as the moon rises.



This is such a delightful villa, with its setting in large, pretty gardens, offering plenty of space – and a lovely large pool – for parties of up to seven. It’s ideal for multigenerational groups, too, with a triple room for families with young children and an en-suite double with its own entrance and lounge – perfect for grandparents who want their own space. There’s lots to keep everyone amused nearby, too – from cycling, horse-riding and walking, to wine- and olive oil-tasting for the grown-ups.



There is no communicating door between the two apartments. The owners’ relatives live in the neighbouring villa, but privacy is ensured by a high hedge between the two houses.
