Bed and Breakfast
Our concept of Bed and Breakfast is of living in, and loving the home we open joyfully to share with just two guests. We are here to help, to offer suggestions, to chat, as much or as little as our guests wish. Our hope is that you will enjoy being here as much as we do.

Guest suite with private bathroom and exclusive roof terrace

The guest ‘room with a view’ is spacious (7 metres x 4.5), elegant and super comfy. Especially the bed which, with mattress topper, and feather pillows, promises a perfect night’s sleep. Air conditioning, free wifi, table and chairs provide comfortable space for guests laptop. A large picture window makes a frame to the stunning view of uninterrupted forested mountain and cliff face.

Home-made biscuits and Vin Santo to welcome.

A television is discreetly mounted on an antique painters easel.

The roomy bathroom (3 metres x 2.25) with tub and hand held shower is private to the guest bedroom. Entrance to the bathroom is a few steps along the corridor. Don’t worry, you won’t meet anyone in the corridor as this floor is exclusively for the use of guests in this room. 

A private sitting room with access to the roof terrace makes the first floor almost a private suite. ‘Almost’ because you may see us popping up into the sitting room with a glass of wine or a sample of something from the kitchen.

In keeping with the rest of the house, furnishings are antique, complimented by 18th century original prints and engravings, and an eclectic mix of Italian and English old and new.

The roof terrace which is completely private to the guest suite, is made for relaxing, with antique teak sun loungers, comfy cushions, teak dining table and chairs, geraniums and lemon tree, chandalier and of course candles. Views are spectacular with the forested mountain infront and the sea just visible over the rooftops of neighbouring houses to the side, at 15km distance. A particular fluke of nature floods the mountain and valley infront with amazing lighting effects whenever there is a breathtaking sunset over the sea. Even on the warmest of summer days, the balmy air is caressed by an ever-so-light mountain breeze so that an evening glass of wine while the moon rises above the highest mountain peak makes the perfect end to a day. Billowing curtains on the village side of the house ensure complete privacy.

BREAKFAST

We like to ease our guests into the day with a leisurely hearty breakfast. Our own organic freshly baked sourdough bread, home-made jams, local farmers yoghurt, butter and cheeses and the day’s cake are all part of the morning treat. Weather permitting, at a table laid outside on the charming, flower enhanced lower terrace, exclusively for our two guests in complete privacy.

COST:

Suite with private roof terrace. Hearty home-made breakfast. Euro 115 per night 
PRIVATE DINNER

Cooking is intrinsic to our lifestyle. We love to share this. We are happy to prepare a light Tuscan dinner to enjoy in complete privacy on the candle-lit terrace. Uncompromisingly fresh local seasonal ingredients, and of course wine. As everything is home-made we just need to know the day before . 

Elizabeth is passionate about cooking with people and Cooking Lesson Workshops are availble.
