Tucked within the rolling hills of southern Tuscany near Capalbio, Cottage Marisilia presents a contemporary three-bedroom retreat designed by its architect owner. This private estate balances modern design sensibility with the natural beauty of Maremma, surrounded by lush gardens, olive groves, and expansive lawns. Just an hour from Rome and 20 minutes from pristine beaches, the property appeals to design-conscious travellers, couples, or families seeking a refined base in one of Tuscany's most authentic regions.
The cottage's location in Capalbio—often called the "Little Athens" of Tuscany due to its artistic and intellectual heritage—provides access to Maremma's diverse attractions. The surreal Tarot Garden and wildlife-rich WWF Lake Burano Reserve lie within a short drive, whilst the medieval villages of Manciano and Magliano offer cobblestoned lanes and historic charm. The unspoilt fishing village of Castiglione della Pescaia and the medieval hilltop town of Massa Marittima have become increasingly popular with international artists and creative professionals. Further afield, day trips to Siena (less than 2 hours), the mysterious ancient city of Volterra, or the renowned wine estates of Bolgheri and Suvereto reveal the region's cultural depth and viticultural excellence. The coast beckons with opportunities for boat excursions, whilst the chic harbour of Punta Ala provides another dimension to coastal exploration.
Inside, the central living area revolves around a striking modern fireplace, whilst an adjacent television room features a luxuriously comfortable sofa lounger for relaxed evenings. The expansive kitchen, complete with a sleek breakfast counter, flows into the dining area, framed by sliding glass doors that dissolve the boundary between interior and garden. Rich fabrics, bespoke wall treatments, and a carefully chosen colour palette create an atmosphere of understated sophistication. A convenient guest bathroom and well-appointed laundry area complete the practical elements. Each of the three king suites includes a dressing room, air conditioning, and direct garden access. The master suite features a double shower, double sink, and private sauna—a thoughtful addition for post-exploration relaxation.
Outside, the private swimming pool (open from May to October) anchors the outdoor living space, surrounded by furnished lounging areas for sun-soaked afternoons. A covered outdoor lounge with comfortable seating provides shaded respite, whilst a separate covered dining area offers the ideal setting for al fresco meals. The gas barbecue area invites outdoor cooking and convivial gatherings. The property benefits from automatic gates ensuring privacy, covered parking for four vehicles including an electric charging station, and beautifully maintained grounds that balance elegance with functionality.
Note: The villa welcomes children aged 10 and above.
