La Ferriera

La Ferriera is a beautiful, historic, barn conversion available to rent just a stone’s throw from Capalbio and the chic and fashionable Ultima Spiaggia beach and the Macchia Tonda beach club in the Tuscan Maremma. It stands at the end of an impressive avenue of ancient umbrella pines within the grounds of a wonderful villa with its celebrated rose gardens. This holiday villa is available to rent all year round and is a particularly location in the Spring, when the gardens are just coming into bloom.

Ferriera is the Italian word for foundry, and the property was originally the site of one of the largest ironworks in Italy. The abandoned land now transformed into a famous garden, which is open to the public.

The interiors of the La Ferriera barn conversion are as interesting and inviting as the history of the grounds, a veritable Aladdin’s cave filled with fascinating antiques and gardening books collected from the owner’s extensive travels over the years.

Not far from La Ferriera, at Garavicchio, is the Giardino dei Tarocchi offering a marvellous and unique spectacle. It is an absolutely original and exclusive work composed of the representation of the 22 major “Arcani” of the tarot cards.
