Place: Campiglia Marittima | Region: Tuscany | Evaluation: *****

This old castello was built at the beginning of the 16th century, and was once the residence of the Grand Duke Leopoldo II of Tuscany. It has now for many years been the property of the Merciai family, who have in time transformed the castello into an elegant home where guests can spend an unforgettable holiday. Castello di Magona has kept intact all of its precious furnishings, and the bedrooms have been personalized with individual wallpapering of different colours and equipped with modern bathrooms. The majestic salons on the ground floor contain many of the paintings that belonged to the Grand Duke. In recent years many members of the international nobility have stayed there and have been able to appreciate the hospitality of the owners of the house and the efficiency of the personnel at the service of its guests. In the large grounds you look onto the hill of olive trees in the direction of the nearby Elba island, and there is also a large swimming-pool with patios at the side and a bar area furnished for relaxation and a garden with splendid roses and tall trees. There is a gym with dressing-room and a jacuzzi that can be used all year round. The ground floor of the castello is the reception area with salons, living-rooms and the dining-room; the use of the kitchen is reserved for the personnel, who will be at your service following the solutions described in the offer. Campiglia Marittima lies just a few minutes from the coast. San Vincenzo has the best-known bathing beach, and is known internationally not only for the nice beach but also for a famous restaurant that has for years been listed among the top national restaurants.
