Set on a hill above the Maremma coastline and the island of Elba, Castello di Magona is a fabulous historical home typical of the noble Tuscan style of the sixteenth century. Walking into the castle one cannot fail to be amazed by the intricately restored ceiling of the entrance hall, the oil paintings and the impressive wooden antique furniture. There is a choice of sitting and living rooms, each vibrantly and richly decorated maintaining the atmosphere of a home with touches such as fireplaces, writing tables and a drinks ‘bar’ in one corner.

Here at the Castello one can live like nobility yet in a relaxed environment with all the comforts of the 21st century. The dining room is the scene of many a fine dinner with its ceramic tiles, massive dining table and an abundance of candles. Meals can be served here or outside and guests can fully relax as their needs are attended to by the very friendly team of nine staff.

Each of the ten bedrooms (of which six are suites) has been decorated and furnished luxuriously and enriched with colourful fabrics, paintings and rugs. Two staircases lead to the bedrooms, each one being uniquely different and located in various parts of the castle. The Grand Duke’s bedroom is vast and imposing and painted in cardinal red. With its 17th century bedhead, bookcases and grand piano and views to both front and rear gardens, guests will love the splendour of this room whilst there is another suite with large terrace overlooking the garden.

Outside, to the rear of the entrance hall, is the garden with rose bed, lawned area and  terrace with bar. Here, one can enjoy a chilled glass of wine on a hot summer evening or maybe breakfast or lunch beneath the canvas umbrellas. Below this pretty garden area is the swimming pool shaded by pine trees and Jacuzzi and gymn area with bar and changing room. 

From Castello di Magona one can explore the many nearby medieval villages such as Bolgheri, Castagneto Carducci and Volterra as well as the fabulous coastline of the Tuscan Archipelago, the island of Elba with the Castle’s private eleven metre yacht or a day in the Natural Park of Alberese. There are a wealth of places to visit if one can draw oneself away from the glorious and homely atmosphere of Castello di Magona – a very special destination for a re-union of friends and family.
