Description
Property Summary
Nestled on the east coast of the island of Elba, in Italy, Villa Zaca occupies a splendid dominant hilly position within the Minelba National Mining Park, offering an exceptional vacation rental experience that seamlessly blends panoramic landscape with year-round tranquillity. Situated in that rare stretch of territory between Porto Azzurro and Cavo, the property stands surrounded by a centuries-old woodland of cork oaks, maritime pines, and numerous other protected plant species that ensure remarkable oxygenation of the environment even during the height of summer. Recently renovated with obsessive attention to detail and a deep respect for Tuscan tradition, Villa Zaca has become the setting for photo shoots commissioned by magazines specialising in Architecture and Restoration. The villa is laid out on a single floor to guarantee maximum comfort, and its design opens directly onto large furnished outdoor terraces. The property is entirely fenced and benefits from a lush, tiered park that invites daily exploration of its many distinct relaxation areas. Guests enjoy seamless connectivity throughout their stay thanks to Internet WiFi, while the expansive yard surrounding the villa provides a private and verdant retreat unlike any other on the island. The port of Rio Marina, just 4 km away, serves as the nearest urban reference point for dining, shopping, and ferry connections.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Villa Zaca are among its most remarkable features, offering a rich variety of environments in which to unwind and connect with the natural surroundings. Surrounding the villa are numerous porticoes covered by dried Mediterranean scrub, alongside grassy areas planted with evergreen species of particular beauty such as lippia nodiflora and zoysia japonica, both selected for their resilience in maritime climates. A harmonious succession of edging and flower beds filled with multicoloured flowers and aromatic herbs frames the property, providing both visual splendour and practical inspiration for preparing dishes on the stone barbecue or in the brick oven. To the right of the entrance, a beautiful olive grove is suspended over a purple bed of verbena, while the wider park features cork trees, pines, broom, laurel, myrtle, strawberry trees, palms, and the full richness of Mediterranean scrub. A large circular car park is located at the entrance of the entirely fenced park. An external staircase leads to a roof terrace on the first floor, fully equipped as a solarium with sea views from which guests can admire unique sunsets. Please note that photographs of the property were taken in spring, meaning that the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ at the time of arrival.

Description
Property Summary
Nestled in the rolling Tuscan countryside of Casale Marittimo, Italy, Casa del Vento is an exceptional vacation rental that seamlessly blends contemporary elegance with the untamed beauty of the natural landscape. Built in 2002, this impressive three-floor villa spans a total of 438 square metres and has been maintained to an impeccable standard, appearing as though newly constructed thanks to the exceptional quality of its original craftsmanship and the devoted care of a single family. Its very name, meaning "House of the Wind," speaks to the profound connection between the property and the nature that envelops it. The villa's clean, modern lines and neutral façade tones harmonise effortlessly with the surrounding olive trees, open skies, and distant sea views, while the interiors welcome you with warm-toned walls, oak plank flooring, and thoughtfully chosen furnishings crafted from natural materials. The property sits at the end of a private road that opens onto a panorama of extraordinary beauty, offering views that stretch to the island of Elba, Corsica, and Gorgona on the horizon. Guests benefit from a generous yard extending across six hectares, a newly built swimming pool surrounded by olive trees, high-speed Internet WiFi throughout the property, and a dedicated EV Charging Station available for electric vehicle owners. Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat or a lively gathering place for family and friends, Casa del Vento offers an experience of rare and lasting beauty.
Outdoors
The outdoor spaces of Casa del Vento are nothing short of extraordinary, inviting you to immerse yourself in a landscape of olive groves, natural grass, and sweeping sea views. The surrounding park covers a total of six hectares, with one hectare immediately around the house cultivated as a formal garden. Natural grass and ancient olive trees form the heart of this green expanse, while patches of flowers, decorative stones, and climbing creepers add character and charm to the winding paths that lead through the grounds. A beautiful corner portico faces out first over the lawn and then towards the sea, providing an idyllic setting for reading, relaxing, or simply taking in the view. Scattered throughout the garden, you will find dedicated seating and relaxation areas designed to make the most of the surrounding scenery. The pergola adjacent to the dining area is fully equipped for outdoor meals and features a convenient barbecue, making al fresco dining a natural and pleasurable part of daily life at the villa. Please note that the property photographs were taken in spring, and therefore the blossoming of flowers and the colour of the garden grass may differ from what you observe upon your arrival.
The non-heated rectangular swimming pool, measuring 11 by 3 metres, is positioned just a few metres from the house, discreetly set apart and encircled by olive trees that ensure complete privacy for swimmers while preserving tranquillity for those who prefer to remain indoors. Purified using an ozone system, the pool is reached by crossing the lawn and is complemented by a solarium terrace of approximately 23 square metres, furnished with sunbeds, deck chairs, and umbrellas for your full enjoyment. The pool is open from the last Saturday of April until the first Saturday of October.
