This modern and luxury villa is the perfect Italian summer getaway for those who enjoy peace and quiet, beautiful landscapes and beaches...
Syclaupe is a large and lovely villa that lies just shy of the water's edge. Within walking distance of the village of Porto Ercole, it offers complete privacy in close proximity to shops, wonderful seaside restaurants and two beaches. The villa is divided into several wings with private terraces, ideal for a large party with varying needs for privacy. The design throughout is contemporary, using a palette of pale colours to highlight curved walls, wooden beams and a striking spiral staircase. Large windows and high ceilings emphasise the generous scale of the living areas and bedrooms of which some are air conditioned. The ground floor living and dining room lead out to an ample stone pool terrace, where an enormous loggia provides a shady spot for lounging or for al fresco meals overlooking the pool and the sea.
Large living room has a concert grand piano and a fireplace, and it is leading out to the pool terrace, while the dining room leads out to a terrace with a loggia and barbeque. Sitting-room has modern amenities like plasma television, DVD, video and HI-FI equipment. There is also a well-equipped gourmet luxury kitchen.
The outdoor space features an exceptionally well landscaped garden designed to frame a lovely view over the water, while a screen of large trees ensures privacy. There is also a heated swimming pool, 6 x 12m/20 x 39 feet, set in front of the house on a stone terrace with loungers. Adjacent to the pool is an enormous, beautifully furnished loggia with a barbeque divided into sitting and dining areas. A small private and secluded beach is within walking distance, about 500m/yards.
