Casale Il Boschetto is situated in the Maremma region of Tuscany amongst the typical landscape of low rolling hills covered with oak and olive trees. The nearest village, Pereta, a unique well-preserved medieval village, is approximately 2 km away. The location is particularly quiet and peaceful, on a hill, surrounded by a park, valleys and forests. From the bedrooms on the first floor there are views over the valley in the direction of the coast and from the main bedroom, the island of Giglio and Giannutri, together with Monte Argentario, can be seen.

The "Casale" dates from the 17th century and has been refurbished throughout in keeping with its original style, with terracotta tiled floors and wood beamed ceilings. Most modern comforts have been added including TV, VHR and stereo system, but there is no telephone, so guests have to take their own mobile phone.

Access to property is via a security entrance phone and the house is surrounded by fenced in grounds with lawns and fruit trees. A large swimming pool (14x7 m.) with a view of the Monte Argentario coastline has recently been constructed. There is an exterior laundry room with washing machine.
