Il Tirreno
Maremma/Tuscany |  next
This is not so much a villa as a stately home, set in a Mediterranean garden and separated by sand dunes from its own extensive private beach, quite simply the most extraordinary beach residence in Tuscany. The list of personalities who have rented Il Tirreno is impressive, from famous pop stars to the owners of leading French fashion houses while British royalty are often a guest here.

Behind the house is the estate, a thousand acres of fields where horses graze or wide-horned white Tuscan cattle roam or sunflowers turn their heads towards the sun, bordered by allees of maritime pines. It is also a hunting and wild life reserve in woods carpeted with wild cyclamens, home to wild deer who wander out in the evening and guests are requested to drive slowly to preserve the families of pheasants strolling across the road or hare streaking through the fields.

The house is very large, even by Dolphin standards, the reception rooms and loggias bristling with antlers and boars' heads as Il Tirreno was originally conceived as a hunting lodge and the owners - master vintners in Florence since the 1300's and makers of some of Italy's most famous wines - are still huntin' and shootin' enthusiasts. DIP is happy to organize wine tastings of these and other well-known wines in the area.

The beach with its thatched beach hut and full time beach attendant is fifty yards away from the house, so secluded that the nearest striped umbrella is far away shimmering on the horizon. Behind the house is a private tennis court which guests may use from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. 10 minutes away by car or a 20 minute walk along the beach is a luxury hotel where guests may indulge in thalassotherapy in warm sea-water pools, as well as sauna, Turkish baths, massage and beauty treatments. At a quarter of an hour's drive is the best fish restaurant in Italy, Il Gambero Rosso. Grand as it is, the Villa Tirreno is cozy and intimate, very comfortable and luxurious, ideal for eight persons.
