5 Bedroom Villas in Il Merlo, Italy
Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the breathtaking Costa degli Etruschi, known in English as the Coast of the Etruscans, Villa Corallina stands as one of the most remarkable vacation rental opportunities along the Tuscan coastline of Italy. Located in Marina di Bibbona, in the municipality of Bibbona, this extraordinary property dates back to 1920 and was constructed using perforated bricks and original Tuscan materials in an architectural style reminiscent of the renowned American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. In the post-war period, the villa served as the beach residence of the Marquises Ginori, and until the 1990s it functioned as a "Kinderheim," one of the many traditional summer camps for children. A meticulous restoration project carried out by the current owners in collaboration with architect Ponte of Genova resulted in the complete renovation of the original building while preserving the surrounding garden, which consists predominantly of Mediterranean maquis. The property extends across approximately 5 acres of lush grounds, offering an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquility. Guests benefit from private parking on the estate, a well-maintained yard that seamlessly blends natural Mediterranean vegetation with carefully tended outdoor spaces, and wireless internet connectivity throughout the property.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Corallina are truly exceptional, reflecting both the natural beauty of the Tuscan coastline and the thoughtful stewardship of the current owners. The expansive park is composed entirely of Mediterranean maquis and a dense pine wood, maintained in excellent condition and offering a serene, natural atmosphere. Beneath the old oak trees in front of the house, a dedicated play area features a ping-pong table, providing entertainment for guests of all ages. A magnificent portico, ideal for leisurely lunches and romantic dinners, opens directly onto the beach and offers stunning views of the red sunsets over the sea. A wooden gate located just a few metres from the portico leads directly to the beach, where guests may set up sunbeds to enjoy the sun-filled days. 2 showers with hot water are available at the beach access point for added convenience. Both the sea-facing side and the pool side of the property are furnished with umbrellas, tables, and chairs, creating comfortable outdoor living areas throughout the estate. Please note that the photographs of the property were taken in spring; therefore, the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of your arrival.
The oval-shaped, non-heated swimming pool is positioned on the north side of the villa, nestled within a natural hollow in the sand dunes that already existed on the site, encircled by an amphitheatre of juniper hedges. In keeping with the owners' deep respect for the environment, no trees were cut down during its construction. The pool measures 9 x 5 metres with a depth ranging from 1 to 1.90 metres, is purified with chlorine, and features a swimming upstream function. The surrounding pool area is equipped with a bar area, deckchairs, sunbeds, umbrellas, a shower with hot water, tables, and chairs.
