This magnificent castle from the 16th century is proudly offered by Cosmic Villas. It is in a prime location with views of Elba Island, the surrounding countryside, and the ocean.

The villa offers private parking, a rose garden, an entrance garden, an outdoor living area for lounging and dining al fresco, a 6-by-12-foot swimming pool, and a Jacuzzi hot tub outside.

This charmingly lovely historic home has all the original features and antique furnishings. Still, it also has modern amenities and provides a variety of facilities and services to make your stay more enjoyable.

Initially, home to Leopold II, Grand Duke of Tuscany, this extraordinary old castle is in a quiet and private setting in the countryside. It is only a mile from Venturina Terme, the closest town, and ten minutes drive from the gorgeous Tuscan coast and the nearest sandy beaches.

The first view of this towering building with a lovely front of ivy is via the grounds to the exclusive automatic gate of the castle, which is lined with cypress and pine trees.

The villa's interior is as stunning, featuring its distinctively high ceilings and furnishings made of antiques, oil paintings, and family heirlooms. The villa's ground floor comprises various living rooms with antique furniture in the same style as the castle.

Three excellent living rooms, two of which have fireplaces and sofas and one with Sky television, a DVD player, and hi-fi music, are located off a big entrance hall decorated with historical paintings and coats of arms. The third has a computer station, an antique wooden desk, and a reading area.

A fully equipped professional kitchen is located on the same level as a small room next to the kitchen with a fridge.

There is a beautiful dining room with a fireplace adorned with paintings and majolica tiles, as well as a large rectangular table that can accommodate all visitors.

The ground floor houses two double bedrooms.

From the main entrance hall, the left and right stairs lead to the castle's middle and upper floors, with ten distinctive bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms (3 double bedrooms, six suites, and the unique Grand Duke Master suite). Each of these bedrooms is uniquely decorated with a different colour scheme; many have hand-painted ceilings, frescoes, and numerous antique pieces.

Modern conveniences like air conditioning, digital television, and unlimited fast Wi-Fi with a 20 Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload speed are available in the bedrooms. In addition, the entire interior of the villa, the rose garden, and the pool area are covered by a Wi-Fi internet connection.

Expansive grounds surround the castle, and the main entrance hall opens onto the lovely rear rose garden. There is a charming outdoor dining area with a rectangular marble table for all the guests and an outdoor living area with cosy settees and umbrellas ideal for relaxing while taking in the rose garden.

The original stone steps down from the garden to the villa's private swimming pool, which is 12 metres by 6 metres and tucked away in a quiet area. A Jacuzzi in the pool area is shaded by trees and provides views of the olive grove.

The personnel at the villa and the owners of Castle Mago take great delight in the services they provide. Various arrangements, including laundry, extra housework, day trips, and excursions, can be made (upon request and payment locally). Catering services, including lunches and dinners, are also a possibility.

There are many charming villages to explore and the stunning Tuscany coast, which is only minutes distant and has excellent beaches.

Additionally, the region is highly known for its vineyards, thermal baths, natural preserves, and picturesque scenery. Other well-known Tuscan cities like Florence, Siena, and Pisa are a short drive away and are all well worth a visit.

Even the island of Elba is reachable by private boat or neighbouring ferry links. The castle is a unique property in a fantastic setting for an excursion you won't forget.
