Casa dei Gabbiani, immersed in the Mediterranean scrub

The Casa dei Gabbiani stands on a small rural house used as an animal shelter, renovated and enlarged in 1986, perched on a cliff. The exterior is in stone, entirely immersed in the Mediterranean scrub. Being inside, the feeling is that of being suspended between the land and the sea. West exposure gives the light until the sun sets behind Enfola or Capraia, depending on the season. On clear days it is possible to see Corsica. Just below the cliff there is the Zuppignano beach, reachable on foot. Other paths start not far from the house, passable on foot or by mountain bike. The North East coast of the island is still very wild and the Casa dei Gabbiani allows you to detach from reality and feel completely immersed in nature.

Casa dei Gabbiani
Great place to have quiet space and relax. The birdsong so much of the day was beautiful. The views were spectacular. The hike down to the isolated beach was definitely steep, and ran into a few critters, but easy enough for all of us to get to the beach and enjoy the near solitude (except for a few fishing boats, a kayak, and a couple of tourists who landed from a boat). Looking forward to returning - hope it's not too far in the future!!

Traumhaus an wildem Strand
wunderschönes Haus mit perfekter Sonnenuntergangs- Dachterrasse. Am besten hat uns der Trampelpfad zu dem - selbst im August- recht einsamen Strand gefallen. Trotzdem ist man nicht weit weg vom Ort und auch Portoferraio ist gut zu erreichen. Thank you Maria Speranza for sharing this exceptional villa with us!
