About this property

Seafront property with infinity pool near the beach in the best location of Elba

*** 2018'S FINALIST OF THE EUROPEAN HOLIDAY HOME AWARD 2018 AS BEST FAMILY FRIENDLY HOLIDAY HOME ***

Surrounded by pines, oleanders, rosemary's and Mediterranean bush, Villa Montecristo sits in the southwest coast of the Island, at 50mt from the sea, near the beautiful beaches of Seccheto (3 minutes on foot - it's just 150 mt), Cavoli (5 minutes on foot) Fetovaia (five minutes by car).
The real estate property consists of a charming Villa (13 people) and of smaller a dependency (4 people), that all together can sleep a total of 17 people.
Upon request, the dependency can be rented, only together with the villa, at the weekly rate of € 350,00/€ 650,00 (depending on the season)
Villa Montecristo is a XIX century charming Tuscan house with a spectacular sea view overlooking the isles of Montecristo and Pianosa, the bay of Seccheto and the ridge of Fetovaia.
From May to mid/end October, it offers a unique and stunning pool carved out in an ancient granite quarry, entirely made of stone: its infinity edge makes you feel like you are swimming in the open sea while you are swimming in the pool!
The Villa is lavishly furnished with antiques, paintings, and prints; it is characterized by a wide beamed ceiling drawing room with granite stairs and wood gallery. The spacious garden has tree-shaded and sunny areas; there is also a thatch covered terrace ideal for eating outside. The rooms have tiled floors and are spacious and furnished with 19th-century antiques. Both the living room and the kitchen have doors leading into the garden.
During spring and summer, we have two showers in the garden (cold water only) perfect for cooling after a long day on the beach!
The nearest village is Seccheto, to be reached in less than 5 minutes on foot.
Final cleanings costs, water, electricity, heating and, if needed, linen expenses are NOT included in the weekly rate and will be settled on arrival /departure.
The property is located adjacent to the main road: this ideal location, so close to the beach and to the village, results in many passing cars - mostly during peak season when people go to and come back from the sea. The sidewalk along the road could be narrow in some points so we recommend young children be accompanied by adults when leaving the property.
Upon request, the dependency can be rented, only together with the villa, at the weekly rate of € 350,00/€ 650,00 (depending on the season)

Grossfamilien Sommerferien Juli 2019
Unser Vater hat meine Schwester und mich mit Familie zu seinem 80igsten Geburtstag in die Villa Montecristo eingeladen. Wir waren 6-7 Erwachsene mit 6 Kindern (10-17 Jahre). Das grosszügige Haus mit Dependance und die grosse Gartenanlage mit den vielen Bäumen war perfekt für uns. Die nähe zum Meer und der traumhafte Pool haben es möglich gemacht das unsere Kinder sich rundum wohl gefühlt haben. Die ältere Generation fand immer ein Schattenplatz in dem wunderschönen Garten wo sie lesen und einspannen konnten - wenn nicht gerade ein Enkelkind, Schwiegersohn oder Freund der Familie sich zu Ihnen setzte um sich mit ihnen zu unterhalten. Leider haben wir nicht so viel von der Insel gesehen, weil es einfach zu schön war in Villa Montecristo!

Die Villa ist wundervoll und die Lage, unmittelbar vom Meer entfernt, traumhaft. Das Haus hat eine grosse Küche, einen wundervollen Garten mit vielen schönen Ecken zum Verweilen. Die Zimmer so wie das ganze Haus sind mit vielen liebevoll gestalteten Accessoire bestückt. Im Garten hat es einen wundervollen Pool mit herrlicher Aussicht zum Meer. Das Haus ist ideal gelegen und ein guter Ort um dies traumhafte Insel zu erkunden.

Already the fourth stay in the dream villa and certainly not the last!
We discovered this dreamlike domicile 8 years ago and spend every 2 years a week with friends on Elba in Villa Montecristo. The villa has lost none of its charm over the years and the holiday enjoyment was again topped by the pool. The furnished with antique furniture villa is located on a beautiful and tastefully landscaped grounds with a beautiful and large terrace. The pool, which is integrated in granite rocks, is located halfway up, so that you have a wonderful view of the sea from there. We enjoyed our vacation week with 13 people this year and will definitely come back. Meanwhile, for us villa is like a second home, the times unfortunately insufficient time can use too little. Arrive and enjoy !!! I will finish the eulogy here - the villa should remain an insider tip ;-)) Many thanks at this point to Fiametta for the kind communication. It is always a pleasure to correspond with you.

The house is beautiful located and very nice furnished. Everything is well equipped for a bigger group so we could enjoy a wonderful stay at this beautiful Island with a magnificient sea view from garden and pool. We can only recommend Villa Montecristo.

About the host

Hosted by Fiammetta

Host profile image
My name is Fiammetta (on the left in photo), I am 37 years old and I am a lawyer in Genova, Italy.
Since I was a young child I used to spend my summer holidays in our family house in Elba that I love with all my heart. Since 2007 I manage rentings and I try to do all my best to make our guests feel at home at Villa Montecristo and to make them feel as I feel when I go there: relaxed and happy!
My mother, Cristina (on the right in the photo) is the owner of the house: she is a professional paintings restorer and an amateur painter and ceramist. She loves Villa Montecristo as me, and we both really enjoy to go there ofter to make house-keeping works as painting, fixing small things, gardening etc. The Villa is big and ancient, so there's always something to be improved and we never get bored there. For sure we two are the men of the house!
We love cooking (especially at Villa Montecristo, where we have a fully equipped kitchen and lot of time!) and animals, dogs especially, that are always more than welcome (if well educated :)

Why they chose this property

Villa Montecristo belongs to my mother's family (the Mellini's, an acient roman nobiliar family) since XVIII century: it is a charming tuscan villa and it is furnished with ancient furniture.
In 1814 Emperor Napoleone Bonaparte spent few nights there, in the double room at the ground floor (that so we call 'Napoleon's room'), and he left two iron camp beds that we converted in two tables in the sitting room. In the whole house you can feel Napoleon, as my great grand father, my grand father were (and my father is) Napoleon's heirlooms collectors.
By the way, even if the house has an ancient history and a glorious past (if only it could speak I am quite sure it would have many things to tell…) it also has a present! The Villa sits about 50 meters from the sea: at just three minutes on foot there is Seccheto’s beach, and Seccheto village (and its shops) is less than five minutes walking; Cavoli’s beach, known as the most beautiful beach on the island, is less than ten minutes on foot, so you can have ready at hand almost everything you need!
The Villa and its garden are big enough for many people, so everyone can find his own quite spot to read a book, to sleep, to work, to have a glass of wine by watching the sunset on the sea in Fetovaia’s bay. But there’s also a terrace area with two long garden tables where we use to have lunch and dinner all together, eating Italian typical meals we cooked in the afternoon with fresh organic food or, why not?, to enjoy a great barbecue!
In 2014 we renovated a garden belt behind the house with a granitic table and a bench for solitary people that want to be alone with theirself to work or to meditate in a peaceful spot.
In July 2017 we made perhaps the biggest improvement ever: a spectacular and unique infinity swimming pool entirely built in the antique Roman granite quarry behind the house, to be published shortly in the major architectural magazines.

What makes this property unique

A big garden with dining area facing the sea, a unique contemporary infinity pool carved into an ancient granite quarry, the best beaches of the island and the village at walking distance, a 100 squared meters huge sitting room, Napoleon's traces, seventeen beds... What else?! :)
