Overview

The main villa on the estate, Villa Trappola, was built in 1283 as a tower 30 metres high to defend the coastline from marauding Saracens.

The tower is surrounded by a landscaped garden, planted in the summer of 2005 after the extensive restoration of the villa was completed. Care was taken to plant large shrubs and trees so that the garden looks as though it had always been there. The owners of the estate live in a house adjacent to the villa (on the first photograph it is the house to the right of the villa, garden areas are very separate to guarantee guests privacy).

All that remains of the tower today are the lower ramparts which give the building an arcane aspect of strength and solidity. Villa Trappola extends over three floors. A large, modern kitchen with adjoining dining room and TV lounge occupy the ground floor. The first floor is made up of a large living space and two bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. The top floor has another three bedrooms and three bathrooms. A second kitchen here conveniently serves as a breakfast kitchen.

The extensive restoration of the house included the new kitchen and bathrooms, while the other rooms in the house received a complete face-lift. The decor is elegant and comfortable in harmony with the patrician style of this historic residence.

The garden extends over an extensive lawn shaded by maritime pines for al fresco dining and a pool area (children-proof).

The beach is at 4 km from the house at the end of a country lane winding through the National Park, affording fascinating glimpses of the local fauna. The sandy beach is white and deep, with the islands of the archipelago on the horizon. It is rare here to meet your Man Friday; there are few parts of Tuscany so secluded and well preserved.

Guest reviews

Wir haben die Zeit in der Torre Trappola mit den Kindern sehr genossen. Es ist ein sehr schönes Anwesen. Herzlichen Dank und bis auf ein andermal. Freundliche Grüsse.

Auf dieser Reise durch die Toskana begleiteten uns viele Türme. Torre Trappola war der schönste! Das letzte Paradies. Der Weg zum Meer gesäumt mit den wilden Maremmatieren. Der „“Privatstrand“ kilometerlang mit weissem Holz, das uns wunderbar als Handtuchhalter, Sitzgelegenheit diente und mitten im Juli nirgends Leute. Muschelsammeln, kleine Fische fangen, den Strand entlang joggen und mit jeder Zelle die Wärme, den Wind, das Rauschen des Meeres aufsaugen. Quietschende Gatter öffnen, die Blicke der Maremmakühe mit ihren beindruckenden Hörnern ruhen auf uns. Eisvögel ziehen ihre Kreise um unsere Köpfe. Irgendwo hüpfte eine Maremmaantilope. Die Wildnis erinnert an Afrika. Einmal fuhren wir drei Stunden mit einer Kutsche das Gebiet ab. Es war herrlich, ohne Mühen diese Entfernungen zurück zulegen und die Blicke über die Weiden streifen zu lassen. Jede kleine Stadt in der engen und weiteren Umgebung ist ein Schmuckkästchen ( Pitigliano!) . In Talamone, italienische Hafensommereindrücke für alle Sinne. Dabei habe ich noch gar nichts vom Essen erzählt. Vielen Dank für diese Woche.
