The Casa di Garavicchio is a hillside country retreat on a secluded family estate in the countryside of southern Tuscany. The house, a spacious converted stable from the 1930s, blends into the rolling Tuscan landscape with extensive views of the medieval town of Capalbio and the Tyrrhenian Sea beyond. Surrounding the house is a fragrant garden of lavender, pomegranate trees, jasmine and roses and on the lower lawn, the owners have recently put in a beautiful infinity swimming pool, which unusually is an infinity pool on all four sides. Located on the family property is the famous Niki de Saint Phalle sculpture garden. The beach is only six kilometers from the house. |
