Why they chose this property
This property belonged to my family for the last 170 years. The house is documented since 1650, and stands right on the place of the outer walls of the medieval castle were in the XII-XIII century.
Since the castle dominated the place, a magnificent view can be enjoyed, encompassing most of the Tuscan archipelago (the Islands of Elba, Giglio, Montecristo, the Argentario promontory) and, when visibility is good, even the French island of Corsica.

What makes this property unique
Splendid views and green valleys (with very few houses) reaching down to sea.
