Description:
PRIVATE STRUCTURE (lease only). Casa del Duca is a historic villa set in the hills above Portoferraio on the island of Elba, surrounded by a lush garden and overlooking the Gulf of Portoferraio. Attributed to Cosimo I de’ Medici and dating back to the 16th century, the villa has been carefully restored to combine its original architectural character with modern comfort. Adorned with artworks and furnished with classic style, the villa spans five bedrooms, expansive living areas and dining rooms. Outside, the garden is set up for relaxation and dining with a swimming pool and a scenic sea view backdrop. Convenient and picturesque, the villa is just 500 metres from local services and a short drive from the beaches of Lacona and Biodola, as well as Portoferraio's harbour and historic centre.
