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.

Haus und Ausstattung top
Leider schlechtes Wetter erwischt, schade. Haus und Garten sehr schön und sehr gut gepflegt. Küche ist mit allen erdenklichen Utensilien ausgestattet. Einziger Wermutstropfen, die Restaurants in Sant'Andrea waren noch im Winterschlaf, jedoch bei dem vorhandenen Wetter auch verständlich.

Es war sehr schön dort
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Ferienhaus sehr genossen. Es ist wirklich sehr ruhig dort. Sehr schöner Garten und noch schönere Terrasse über dem Meer. Herrlicher Ausblick und schöner Garten . Auch Wilmo, der Hausverwalter, war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, aber nicht aufdringlich. Er schenkte uns zum Abschied sogar noch 1 Kiste Zitronen. Minuspunkte waren die steile Auffahrt zum Ferienhaus (Achtung , wenn Fahrradträger hinten montiert ), sowie schlechte bis gar keine WiFi-Verbindung. Auch der Bäcker sowie die Restaurants in San`t Andrea waren bis zu unserer Abreise Ende April leider nicht geöffnet. Ansonsten aber alles top, wir hatten ja ein Auto dabei, wir denken, wir werden sicherlich einmal wiederkommen.

Why they chose this property

In a location of unparalleled beauty and charm, with equally stupendous views of the mountains and the sea. I have lovingly refurbished this property in tune with the local environment. It is a wonderful place in which to work and relax.

What makes this property unique

The large panoramic terrace in our second garden with incredible views spanning from the Italian coastline (to the right) and the island of Corsica (to the left).
