Maremma

Exclusive historic villa with ancient Roman heritage in TuscanyNestled among the picturesque hills of Tuscany's Maremma, with panoramic views of the Ombrone Valley, lies a unique estate where over two millennia of history become part of modern life, and where outstanding architecture seamlessly blends with the natural beauty of one of Tuscany's most authentic corners.The residence's greatest asset is its exceptional historical heritage. The villa is built on the documented foundations of an ancient Roman settlement over two thousand years old. Archaeological remains from the ancient era have been carefully preserved and integrated into the estate's landscape, and just a few steps from the house lies a perfectly preserved original Roman rainwater cistern—a rare artifact that has survived to this day virtually intact. Here, history is not a museum exhibit; it is naturally woven into everyday life, creating an atmosphere that cannot be replicated.The estate's buildings total 415 square meters, including the 298-square-meter main villa and a modern guesthouse. Built on ancient foundations, the residence retains its authentic stone architecture, which was subsequently masterfully reimagined by world-renowned Italian architect Cini Boeri. Her design combines respect for centuries-old heritage with a contemporary architectural language, where minimalism, noble natural materials, and impeccable functionality highlight the expressiveness of the historic walls, creating a timeless interior.The first level, once home to the historic stables, now features a spacious open-plan living space with a living room and dining area. This level also houses an independent guest apartment with a separate entrance, providing a high level of comfort and privacy for both guests and staff.The second level features a private area with three bedrooms. Modern engineering systems, including air conditioning and home automation elements, are delicately integrated into the building's historic structure, preserving its authentic character and architectural value.The estate spans approximately 3 hectares, where the landscaped park resembles an open-air museum. Among ancient Roman ruins, centuries-old olive trees, and natural terrain, lies a panoramic pool, perfectly integrated into the surrounding landscape. It offers stunning views of the endless Tuscan hills—one of Italy's most recognizable and beautiful landscapes.Situated off the main residence is a modern guesthouse with panoramic windows, filling the interiors with natural light and offering magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. Its layout includes a bedroom, bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, and spacious living room, making it ideal for guests or independent living.The estate is located in the commune of Campagnatico, one of the most authentic medieval villages in Maremma, preserving its ancient ramparts, the Rocca fortress, and the Romanesque church of San Giovanni Battista. Its name is forever linked to Dante Alighieri, who mentioned the local ruler, Umberto Aldobrandeschi, in Canto XI of Purgatorio in the Divine Comedy. Today, Campagnatico remains the embodiment of authentic Tuscany, with its renowned wineries, culinary traditions, historical festivals, and relaxed way of life.Despite its utter seclusion, the estate enjoys excellent transport links. Grosseto is just 24 km away, Siena 60 km, and the international airports of Florence and Pisa provide convenient connections to major European capitals.Residences like this rarely come to market. This is not just a prestigious villa in Tuscany, but a unique architectural masterpiece that blends ancient heritage, medieval history, and contemporary Italian design. Owning this estate means becoming the guardian of over two millennia of history and the owner of one of Italy's rarest historic residences.
