Where
Ansedonia, Orbetello
A wooded promontory at the southern tip of the Maremma, where the Tuscan coast turns into Lazio.
The house sits between umbrella pines and the sea, a few steps from Spacco della Regina. Florence is two hours north, Rome is ninety minutes south. From the terrace you can see Giglio.
