Our family really enjoyed the time spent in this home. As evident from the pictures, the views are simply outstanding. The house comes fully furnished and equipped with anything you could need, and the air-conditioned bedrooms were very welcomed. The trip to the beach was a quick one on bikes, though the trip down to sea level was always a bit 'exciting' on the narrow Italian roads. More than anything, the best part of this house was the privacy. Unlike the neighboring properties, one can truly relax in the large pool with knowing nobody can see in. Makes it a bit less stressful using the outdoor shower as well! The boys could never get enough of the water. Outside of the house, we spent lots of time at the uncrowded beaches soaking in the sun. Most nights were spent enjoying a gelato in nearby Porto Ercole. The most memorable day involved renting a small boat to circle the coastline, dropping anchor and jumping in the clear water wherever we wished. Certainly nothing against the home, but a word of warning before visiting is that one should prepare with lots of mosquito repellant. Perhaps it's been a particularly bad summer, but they played a big part in our vacation adventure. Many thanks to Ronald's son Patrick for the introduction to the home, and the follow-up help he provided, even during his own stressful travels. We would definitely recommend this home to our friends. The kids are still asking when we can go back to the big private pool with the nice view....

We had a wonderful time in Ansedonia at this house - absolutely stunning beach and nature reserve. House is very nice up in the hills with a beautiful view of the bay. Beach is in walking distance - and you enjoy absolute privacy in the garden and at the pool. Highly recommendable!

The views from this property are exceptional. There are few things better than sipping your favourite tipple while watching the sun set behind the crescent beach. The beach itself is sandy and clean and is just a few minutes walk down the hill. We walked a little further through the beautiful pine forest, and found an area with a lifeguard and despite being early August and wonderfully hot, the beach was not crowded. The property was well kept and well equipped. There are neighbouring properties so you don’t feel isolated, but you are not overlooked so enjoy total privacy. The gardens and private pool were a perfect retreat and were maintained on a daily basis. There is also a private parking space. The property itself has two main bedrooms: a double upstairs and a twin downstairs. Both have air conditioning, which in August was essential. There is additional accommodation in a separate building in the garden (but we did not use this) and there is also a single bed on the upstairs landing though this does not have air conditioning. The bathroom is on the main floor. There is a good size, comfortable lounge with a fan (and an open fire), however with so much excellent outdoor space we didn’t use this very much either. There is a large patio area outside with table and chairs. Our family of four (2 adults + 2 teenagers) enjoyed a wonderful week in this property – it is perfect if you want to relax or if you enjoy a beach style vacation. There are also some lovely medieval towns perched on top of the hills where you can stop for lunch or an ice-cream – but always take your swimming stuff as there is invariably an opportunity for a swim. The owners of this property are extremely helpful and respond to questions very promptly – We highly recommend this property.

This delightful villa, perched on the hill overlooking the bay at Ansedonia was a fantastic location for an Easter break with the family. We found villa to be really comfortable and perfect for our holiday. There are really great views from the terraces and balconies, and the extra “little house” in the garden is a fun addition to this luxurious villa. Although the villa has its own pool, it was only a short walk to the beach, for a long, lazy lunch at the friendly beach-side restaurant. We found several places nearby, for sight seeing. It was interesting to see what the Romans and Etruscans had built here, so long ago. Having stocked up on fresh local produce at a nearby farm shop, we cooked in the well equipped kitchen and ate our feast on the terrace, watching the sun set over the bay.
