Schöne Hügellage (in günster Nähe zur Insel Elba und zu den Stränden) mit Blick auf die Bucht von Follonica. Wirklich schönes, großzügiges und (täglich durch den Eigentümer) gepflegtes Grundstück (mit Kräutern, Zitronen- und Qumqat-Bäumchen zur Mitbenutzung!). Car-Port für 2 Autos, ansonsten eher nur eingeschränkte Parkmöglichkeiten (Rangieren!). Traumhafter Poolbereich (mit romantischer Beleuchtung am Abend), großes, tiefes (2,40 m) und ebenfalls täglich gereinigtes Schwimmbecken mit Massagedüse und Sprungbrett, teils überdachte Liegebereiche. Das Haus (in den 1980er Jahren errichtet) im toskanischen Stil hat vielen schattige Aussenbereiche (Esstisch, Sitzecke, Hängematte) ist zwar großteils schön eingerichtet (Stilmöbel), aber teilweise auch veraltet ("Möbelmix", wenn auch sehr gepflegt!). Die Küche hat leider ein paar Schwächen (zu wenig Arbeitsflächen, zu kleiner Kühlschrank, Gasherd mit Funktionsproblemen), dafür aber eine neue Spül- und Waschmaschine. Hinsichtlich Geschirr und Kochutensilien ist alles ausreichend vorhanden! Generell ist die Villa "Le Agavi" in Scarlino SEHR EMPFEHLENSWERT!!! Vor allem auch deshalb, weil sich die beiden Eigentümer (Grazia und Roberto) sehr charmant, engagiert und "fast unsichtbar" um ihre Gäste kümmern und so kein Problem ungelöst bleibt! Drei wunderbare Wochen in der Toscana!!!
