Marina di Cecina, Tuscany, is famous for its sandy beaches, transparent sea and large countryside in the hinterland, rich in vines, olive groves and cypress trees - an area that abounds in both natural and human beauty, ancient, historical and even recent. Fertile ground for those looking for a place to stay, for those who love Tuscany, with its immense sunsets, friendly people and exquisite cuisine. A question. How many is 300 metres? It's a little less than a five-minute walk. And by bike? Maybe half a minute. All this for a simple thought: we are practically at the seaside. The proposal we want to talk to you about today is in fact a large flat only 300 metres from the beach. It is situated in a very quiet residential area and occupies the first floor of a small house. With 4 free sides it presents itself as a solution for those who want a first or second home for themselves, but also for those with business ideas. The entrance gate leads us to the private courtyard on the ground floor while the external staircase takes us up to the first floor. In its almost 115 square metres of floor space, in addition to three balconies, we find a large entrance hall, a dining room, a kitchen with pantry, a living room, two large double bedrooms, a large bathroom and a last room that could be a study, a third small room or simply a walk-in wardrobe. Large spaces and many rooms, which could be further improved and rationalised, perhaps by obtaining a third bedroom and a second bathroom useful both for personal use and in case one wanted to use the property to rent out, an idea not to be underestimated given the high demand and not only during the summer period. Internally it is in fair condition and can be lived in immediately, with central heating and a beautiful fireplace in the dining room, but with some modernisation and customisation work you can make it absolutely unique.

On this splendid spring day, accompanied by the singing of birds, our visit to the Pantanella farm allows us to live for a while in a bucolic context similar to those described by Jane Austin. We are located in the Maremma natural park, a few km from the sea and one of the most beautiful and intact coasts of the Maremma coast and at the foot of the Uccellina mountains covered in thick Mediterranean scrub where nature rules over man. And so while our gaze is lost in the hectares of land in the soft countryside we are about to visit the manor house, an aristocratic country residence on two levels with warehouses and storage rooms on the ground floor and the first or floor dedicated to the home. In the courtyard, in addition to the main building, we find 3 other buildings once used for agricultural and livestock farming, warehouses, chicken coops, pigsties, stables and barns which take us back in time and make us relive the past. The property includes approximately 31 hectares of which part is occupied by a vineyard for approximately 17,000 meters and 100 olive trees while the rest is currently used as arable land and by a forest of over 4 hectares separated from the property where the farmers once lived they supplied wood. The property would be well suited to becoming an accommodation facility in which to combine the production of oil, aromatic herbs and other agricultural products with special experiences in nature in one of the rural buildings or in other eco-sustainable solutions to be included in this area of particular beauty. Not to be underestimated is the presence of high salinity thermal waters underground which could extend the offer of a possible accommodation facility. Close your eyes and imagine yourself already here, you have decided to move to your new life and you have enriched the structure with antique wooden furniture, precious white porcelain objects, cushions and curtains in finely embroidered antique white cotton. Everything speaks of your love for this place from the lavender pots that you placed in ancient wineskins, to the iron lamps found in a second-hand shop and even the white bicycle with the large wicker basket with which you take long walks along the tree-lined avenues. In the morning after a restful sleep you wake up in your wrought iron bed which was once a gate and after having pulled back some ancient embroidered linen curtains you enjoy the panorama of the Maremma Natural Park, with the Uccellina mountains as a backdrop. Agritourism, charming B&B, educational farm, riding school or simply your country residence, there are countless possibilities for developing this property set in a context where the calm rhythm of the countryside dominates and not far from the sea, from the splendid art cities of the Tuscany and its naturalistic wonders.

It is well known by now how much I love to travel and, above all, to observe. Work visits always turn out to be extraordinary opportunities to learn and experience fantastic moments. Today's stroll took me within the walls of Murlo, a small and pristine medieval village nestled in the heart of a wild and unspoiled territory. It captivates because it is far from mass tourism and evokes life from another era. However, what surprises most is the surrounding territory and, in particular, its inhabitants, who bear an extraordinary resemblance to Etruscan paintings. It's not just my observation; I discovered that it has recently been proven that the local population carries Etruscan DNA. This is because it was a fiefdom of the Bishops of Siena and remained isolated for centuries. All of this holds enormous charm for me, but the most incredible experience came during the visit to the property. A fantastic sensation enveloped me, as if my brain were an independent organ sketching out projects at a rapid pace, crumpling and throwing them aside, engrossed in another fantastic idea. I almost seemed to see all those balls of paper scattered disorderly on the terracotta floor. And my heart danced to the waltz of euphoria unleashed by adrenaline. Upon entering the atrium of the first palace, I immediately realized that the term B&B was an understatement, as the structure lends itself to various solutions. Visiting the first two floors already set up to accommodate guests in its 7 rooms with attached bathrooms sparked in me a desire to preserve all the beauty that already exists and perhaps enhance it with some modern furnishings here and there, highlighting the enchanting ancient terracotta floors and tiles, but toning down the colors and favoring white. Once downstairs, the alcoves won me over. Here, one can truly decide to do something in addition to the upper floors and thus dedicate oneself to breakfasts, lunches, events, but I believe that's limiting it; it's primarily a place to share. The niches suggest tastings, possibly of excellent Tuscan wines and olive oil, but one could also focus on products made perhaps with a personal brand, creating a small production. Considering the splendid and enormous fully equipped kitchen, one could think of exclusive pastry-making to delight the guests' palates. But I wouldn't rule out dedicating oneself to catering in the wonderful vaulted halls, with typical Tuscan cuisine products, organizing events, aperitifs, themed dinners both indoors and outdoors, in the splendid garden and by the poolside. Did I tell you that strolling within these walls has inspired me with lots of ideas and images of what could be done? Now, you too can take a walk, breathe this pure air, lose yourself in the idyllic landscape, and think that you could have not only a business but a whole new life for yourself and your family. But when you need your privacy and tranquility, you can always retreat to the annex where a beautiful three-bedroom apartment awaits you. Will you be able to enjoy your spaces and have everything under control? Are you still thinking about it?

You taught me that everything is a sign. So when on Friday, after picking up the ring for our engagement and I went to a nursery to get an old rose in which to hang the little box to ask you to marry me, hearing a builder talking who was looking for a chestnut tree for a new subdivision definitely seemed like a good omen. Now I'm here under your house on my motorbike, you only know that we're going to Castagneto Carducci, there, where we met and fell in love, but you don't know that ours will perhaps be a more important date. During the trip I looked at your smiling face, your rebellious locks peeking out under your helmet. We arrived, you look a little confused while a gray-haired man with a good-natured air approaches us and introduces himself. He shows us the whole lot, 50,000 square meters, an endless expanse of olive trees adjacent to the town of Donoratico and explains to us that the first part involves the construction of a series of villas, each with its own garden of about 150 square meters each. Yes, our first home will be here, if you want, a two-story villa, I who am the less imaginative of the two had to see the plans, but you are already measuring with your eyes the space we will have. Given the way you are made, you first took care of understanding how big the garden will be and 500 square meters is the right size for us, to host friends and to raise first a dog and then children. I already know that the house reflects your way of being, a large single space on the ground floor overlooking that garden in which you will grow your infinite botanical experiments. In the outdoor pergola you have already decided that you will plant some strawberry grapes, your favorite, which will keep us cool in the summer, which will color our autumn days and in the winter with its slender structure will let the light in. It seems to me that you have already decided, we will divide the two rooms on the ground floor for our passions but they will have to have a sofa bed each to host friends and relatives. The one on the first floor will be our room with en suite bathroom and a view of the terrace. You have already told me what the terrace will be like, covered with jasmine plants to hide the hot tub, with a small living room for our first sun-kissed breakfasts. Wandering among the clods of earth I can see everything you are dreaming and describing to me. I already think of our neighbors who I imagine are very heterogeneous, local families, foreigners who will buy to come from far away to spend their pleasant holidays, mature couples who have reached their well-deserved retirement and leave the city for a place with mild temperatures and to live comfortably on the ground floor forgetting about stairs and elevators. A potpourri that will animate the large green spaces of this new residential area. I was more interested in the technical characteristics and from the information they give us the quality will certainly be excellent. Green building, heating and air conditioning with heat pump or underfloor, 6.5 kw photovoltaic system, ventilated roof are certainly some of the most important. Let's look at the projects and the villas are truly beautiful. Like you, I love the large windows and the windows that will be in wood or aluminum reflect my standards while the blackout blinds will guarantee us privacy without having to use curtains, which as you know I can't stand. The wooden floors almost everywhere give atmosphere to the house and so we could walk barefoot. I haven't told you one thing yet, my love, in our project, in addition to the carport I have already budgeted for an outdoor kitchen with barbecue and... the swimming pool for us and our children. I know how you do as soon as you see a body of water, be it a lake, sea or swimming pool and so I thought that our dream had to be complete to allow you to stay in your natural element as much as possible. What do you say love, I have already chosen now it's up to you to tell me if you want to grow old by my side in the shade of a chestnut tree.

Our appointment today is at the Acqua Village in Cecina, from here we will reach the property we are visiting with a walk and then return to enjoy an afternoon of aquatic fun. We are in Cecina in the province of Livorno, in the heart of the Etruscan Coast in the countryside a few steps from the sea and all the services, but mainly from the very long and sandy beach, with a lush pine forest behind it. In many parts the beach is free, while alternating there are some bathing establishments where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas and some bars and restaurants, and a surf school.

The wait, that magical moment between having scheduled a visit to a property and arriving at the destination. Sometimes it is so pleasant to fantasize that instead of reaching the property immediately I decide to prolong this pleasure. Today they are waiting for me in Sassetta, in the province of Livorno and a short distance from Castagneto Carducci. I have decided to make my first visit, the one I make to get to know the property and the owners, before preparing all the photographic documentation and not only, a little vacation. In Genoa a sailing boat awaits me that will take me to Livorno. Already this first part of the trip allows me to smell the sea which for those who, like me, live in the mountains is the air of vacation. After docking, Spartaco, my cocker spaniel, and I rent a car, he doesn't like them very much, he is a dog that loves people and if he could choose he would make me travel by bus or train to smell and meet everyone. We have the same reaction once we arrive at this spectacular late 19th century residence, unlike the bourgeoisie who once lived and moved gracefully in the garden, we start to run, to savor the freedom of the large green spaces. The house watches us from its thousand windows with an austere air, it will think, these two won't take care of me, will they? But those who can appreciate and love a house at first sight will have the right enthusiasm to transmit to those who come to live here. The main villa is divided in two vertically and the part for sale looking at the main facade is the one on the right. It is spread over 4 floors of about 240 square meters each to which are added other small buildings that can be used for multiple uses and a farmhouse a short distance from the villa. With the owners we visit the interior, on the ground floor the living area with kitchen complete with period fireplace, pantry, dining room, living rooms, one with fireplace, utility room and bathroom. Much of the period furniture has been preserved, as well as the finely decorated ceilings, a series of rooms that have remained crystallized in time. The wonderful ceilings with vaults in which the original frescoes and floors have been recovered, each one is a work of art in itself, the ancient Romans would have called them sectilia pavimenta and are characterized by the geometric alternation of different colors and materials. A staircase leads us to the first floor where the sleeping area is currently located where there are two bathrooms and six bedrooms, some furnished in perfect late nineteenth-century style, including dressing tables to take care of your beauty in the bedroom. The second floor is presented as a separate apartment, in fact it has a kitchen, three bedrooms and a bathroom while the 3rd is a large attic that deserves a new use. Spartaco and I return to visit the centuries-old chestnut park with a total surface area of ​​20,000 square meters that surrounds the property. We take some time to admire the exceptional view of the Tuscan hills. We return to the shed between the stone walls near the entrance where we enjoy a refreshing pomegranate juice and visit one by one all the small buildings that are part of the property, the old chicken coop with the oven, the porch and the large warehouse where the carriages were kept and we already imagine their possible destinations. The last stop is the farmhouse, located on a hill adjacent to the villa and surrounded by greenery that guarantees exclusivity and privacy, it could become a splendid annex or as in the owners' plan 4 independent apartments. The sun is setting and Spartaco and I get back in the car, next destination the Sassetta spa, we end a wonderful day in the best possible way but even more wonderful is the property we visited.

I have never loved the chaos of financial markets or impulsive choices. For a long time, I was looking for an investment that could combine solidity and vision, something that wasn't just a number but a real, tangible place capable of delivering value over time. I wanted a property that spoke of stability, future prospects, and quality of life. It was then that, almost by chance, an ad caught my attention: an apartment not far from the sea in an authentic area of the Tuscan coast offered at a very interesting price. An opportunity worth exploring. I decided to visit it, leaving room for imagination and the possibility that this property could become an integral part of my life or a broader project. Arriving in Donoratico was a discovery: a town that maintains the perfect balance between sea and countryside where the air smells of saltwater and earth while time seems to flow at a more human pace. The house looks discreetly protected from outside view by vegetation preserving its privacy—a dwelling seeking not to impress but to welcome. Inside, the living room with fireplace immediately conveys warmth and continuity—an experienced space designed to last. The kitchen is compact yet functional; organized rationally and harmoniously—perfect for daily life as well as moments shared together. The two bedrooms are simple yet bright with good proportions—versatile spaces ideal both for residential use or as vacation homes. The atmosphere is relaxing enriched by wood scents and natural light accompanying every hour of day. The true strong point is the balcony: an open view on the horizon where one's gaze runs all along until meeting blue ocean line—a space adding genuine value to this property granting breathability lightness—and rare feeling freedom. Here’s where I realized potential within this home: intriguing concrete purchase blending emotion investment present perspective future—not merely promising—but delivering.

My journey to Ponte Presale, a natural crossroads between Tuscany, Emilia-Romagna, and Marche, began with a few stops that are worth visiting in their own right. First, a stop at Passo delle Radici, with its breathtaking view of the valleys, then a relaxing walk on the shores of Lake Pontecosi, immersed in the silence of Garfagnana. A little further on, San Pellegrino in Alpe offered me a breathtaking view and an atmosphere of times gone by. When you arrive in Ponte Presale, you immediately realize that you are at an important crossroads between regions and cultures. Right along the main road, easily accessible and clearly visible, is an interesting property with great potential, ideal for those who dream of combining home and work in one place. The living area is already ready: a completely renovated and furnished apartment located above the restaurant, with two bedrooms and a large panoramic terrace overlooking the Apennine mountains. All you need to do is move in with your suitcases: the house is there, cozy and well-kept. The rest of the structure, on the other hand, requires some initial refurbishment—painting, minor updates to the systems, and new furnishings—but the foundation is solid. The restaurant, with two separate rooms (one small and private, the other larger for events and groups), is functional, although it needs updating. It is a classic example of a business that, with a few initial touches, can be brought back to life immediately and then grow over time. Next door, the accommodation facility with eight rooms with private bathrooms and a spacious terrace is just waiting for a new lease of life. The adjoining shop could also become a point of sale for local products or a small multi-purpose space. The location is strategic: a must for those crossing the Apennines between three regions, a perfect destination for hiking, motorcyclists, nature lovers, and foodies. A rare opportunity to live in an authentic setting, work for yourself, and shape a personal project with great growth potential.
