The property is situated in Tuscany, between Capalbio and Orbetello by the sea (over a hill 1.5 km from the sea.)
The nearest town is Orbetello.
The area is one of the most exclusive in Italy near the touristic harbour of Cala Galera and between the houses of the Queen of Holland and the owners of the FIAT. This national monument is a rare example of a fortified castle, which was built by the Spaniards who occupied the area in the fifteenth century.
It was built upon the ruins of a Roman villa that dates back to the first century before Christ. It was this "Spanish fortress" that was restored in the seventies, and remains in perfect condition, with marvellous paving of old hand made "cotto toscano".
