• "Casa Nuova" is a large converted farmhouse (360 square meters) surrounded by a fenced garden, inside a vast wheat and sunflower farm, 1 Km from the farm centre, in the so called Rimigliano Natural Park, between San Vincenzo and Piombino, in front of the Elba Island. I am Swiss. My guests have a key of the gate leading to the beach of a private tower which stands directly on the beach 900 meters from Casa Nuova. It is 2 Km away from the famous Baratti Gulf with its Etruscan archeologic area of Populonia. Lovely little medieval cities on the hilltops of surrounding mountains.
• At 800 meters guests have free access to the new commercial centre of my Tourist Village called Park Albatros, under a century old pine wood, where you will find a Bar, Pizzeria, Restaurant, Supermarket, Tobacconist, Newspaper stand, etc. Guests have free access also to the Park Albatros attended parking lot which is under another pine wood bordering Park Albatros' private beach.
• Casa Nuova has been converted respecting the style of old Maremma farm houses and is furnished with both antique, old and modern furniture, and is generously equipped. From Casa Nuova you can only see fields and pine woods, no buildings nor houses (except the one belonging to the housekeeper which is 300 meters away). The result has been a house with a very particular charm and comfort.
