I Cavallini lies in
an area called Maremma, a lesser known and therefore
all the more captivating part of Tuscany, 25 km inland
from the coast, close to the peninsula Monte Argentario.
Beyond the borders of the Cavallini estate you will
discover an area rich in cultural landmarks, softly
rolling landscape, good food and excellent wine, combining
the charms of the Tuscan lifestyle with joys of an unspoilt
coast.
The center of the Cavallini property
is marked by the main villa dating from the 18th century.
The host Laura Piccolomini d'Aragona spends most of
her time here, sharing the simplicity of country life
with her children and grand-children during the summer
months.
Laura Piccolomini is an attentive
host. The apartments at Cavallini were decorated by
herself using Tuscan colourings, open fireplaces and
comfortable furnishings, as well attractive family antiques.
The large pool measuring 12 x 6 m is located in a beautiful
part of the garden of the Cavallini estate, with a view
over a seemingly endless landscape of rolling hills,
utterly unspoilt, spotted with cypress trees and farmhouses
here and there.
Two very charming apartments sleeping
4 and 5, with a pergola for al-fresco meals, have been
restored in the main villa of Cavallini
Savior Vivre: one reason to visit the world of I Cavallini
is the superb wining and dining in the surrounding area.
The trattorias and wine cellars of the region are of
the hightest quality. The surrounding woods full of
wild boar and deer are their natural larder.
Physical matters: beyond the beaches with fine white sand,
relaxation can be found in the surrounding hot water spas
- Saturnia is at half an hours drive from Cavallini -
and 2 18-hole golf clubs in the vicinity.
The sea: try hiring a boat to the islands of Giglio and
Giannutri. Charming villages, hidden creeks and romantic
fortresses are to be discovered.
Destination history: the Maremma is considered the cradle
of the Etruscan culture. Tarquinia und Tuscania boast
worldwide famous sites which should not be missed. These are easy trips to take while you are staying at one of the Cavallini accommodations.
