About this property
Luxury home a hop from the sea with extensive panoramic terraces
Casa Ghiandaia is a bungalow located within five minutes walk of the bay of Cotoncello, a delightful cove overlooking the bay of Sant'Andrea, and twelve minutes walk from the sandy beach of Sant'Andrea. It is in an elevated position, enjoying quiet, privacy and 360 degree views of both mountains and sea. The nearby village of Sant'Andrea offers shops, cafes, restaurants, outboard motor dinghy rental, and doctor's surgery. There are numerous hotels with good restaurants within easy walk. Zanca, five minutes drive away, which has a well-stocked mini-market, is served by the public bus which runs along the coast to Portoferraio and to Marina di Campo. Marciana Marina with comprehensive facilities including two supermarkets and medical centre is twenty minutes drive away.
The bungalow comprises: large living room with tv, dvd and satellite connection and adjoining large kitchen, both giving onto extensive terraces; 2 double bedrooms, 1 with large double bed with double doors to a terrace, the other with single beds; modern eat-in fully equipped kitchen, and bathroom with large shower. In all, the inside area is approximately 65 sq m. All rooms are luxuriously furnished, with heating/air conditioning. A washing machine is located on the lower terrace, together with a washing line. There are several beautiful extensive terraces, two porticoed at the bungalow, one with lawn adjoining the bungalow overlooking the bay of Sant'Andrea , the other, accessed across a snake-path, directly overlooking the sea, the Italian coastline and the island of Capraia (children must NOT be left unsupervised on this terrace). The terraces are variously equipped with tables, chairs, modular outdoor furniture, sun-beds and barbecues. There are two outdoor showers, one overlooking the mountain, the other on the terrace directly overlooking the sea. There is also a ping pong table with bats and balls. There is parking on the premises. Bed linen and towels are provided.
No pets and no smoking.
