The villa
is located 340 m
uphill on the Monte Orello close to Portoferraio, between pine trees, cork- and
holm-oaks. It was built in the sixties by an American architect for a British
Lord as his summer residence. The design is generous with large living spaces, terraces
on various levels and a magnificent view of the surrounding park and the sea.
The adjacent protected forest provides wonderful opportunities for walks,
cycling or horse riding. Beaches and shopping centers are within a few minutes
car drive. There is also a golf course nearby.
The house
has five bedrooms each with a bath, a large living room on the ground floor
with an open fire place, dining area with access to a partly covered terrace
with a pizza oven. The upper part of the house, where three of the bedrooms
are, has an entrance of its own and has been arranged with a small kitchen, so
it can be used as a separate apartment. There is also a small apartment down
the garden with a bedroom, bath, kitchenette and a large living area which has
been used as an artist’s study. A pool
with a small cottage and WC is located on an opening 100 m downhill and can be
reached over a shady path through the woods.
The villa
is well equipped with it’s own water supply from a well and a large cistern,
but it is also connected to the communal water supply system. It has central
gas-heating. Floors in the house are terracotta and parquet in the bedrooms.
The house
is well kept and has been inhabited by the present owners permanently over the
last ten years.
