Other things to note
Welcome to Villa le Rocce on Giglio Island!

Tap water is not drinkable, but it is safe for cooking, brushing teeth, and other daily activities.

The pool, weather permitting, will be open from May to October. We apologize if it is not available from May 1st, but it needs yearly maintenance to remain beautiful and functional. To repaint it, we need at least three consecutive days of good weather without rain, then we must wait for the paint to dry and finally fill it.

Road description:
The villa is 1500 meters from the tourist port and can be reached by car, scooter, or on foot. The last 300 meters to reach Villa le Rocce are a significant part of the route. It is a private road in reinforced concrete, in excellent condition, but with a steep uphill and some curves. It is easily passable by car or scooter. After the first time, and with Francesco’s directions, it becomes simple and familiar. My family has driven it with all kinds of vehicles since 1982, but we recommend not using very low cars.

Ferry booking:
We recommend booking the ferry well in advance, especially in July, August, weekends, and near holidays. We do not recommend coming to Giglio with very low cars.

Vehicles on the island:
To bring a car or motorbike (with Italian license plate) to Giglio Island during August, you must stay at least 5 days and fill out a self-certification to show upon arrival and keep inside the vehicle throughout your stay.

Food shopping:
Food shopping is your responsibility. We do not serve breakfast or provide catering. We are not a Bed & Breakfast.

Cleaning:
Apartment cleaning will be carried out at the end of the stay.
For one-week stays, cleaning will be done twice in total. The midweek day can be arranged directly with Francesco. For extra cleaning, please arrange with Francesco, bearing in mind that on the Island, cleaning is paid €20 per hour.

Low season information:
Off-season (from November to March), many tourist activities are closed. If you arrive with the last ferry of the evening, which departs from Porto Santo Stefano, please note that upon your arrival at Giglio at 8:00 p.m., grocery stores are closed. The island is inhabited all year round, so the pharmacy, medical center, some grocery stores, bars, and restaurants remain open year-round.

Neighborhood highlights

What makes the area directly in front of Villa le Rocce unique is the spectacular view of the Cannelle bay and the sea, which is part of the natural wonders of Giglio Island. Furthermore, the possibility of reaching the tourist port in just 5 minutes, while at the same time enjoying total tranquility, makes Villa le Rocce a truly special place. Here, one always has the feeling of being in a comfortable and quiet dimension, yet never isolated from the rest of the island.
For those who wish to explore the island, there are numerous opportunities for walks and hikes through the evocative landscapes of Giglio Island. Just outside the villa's gate, you will find a mule track that will take you to the Castle or to other paths that will allow you to tour the island, offering a unique perspective on its natural beauty.
A few hundred meters away, there is a second path that will lead you to the beach of Caldane, one of Giglio's hidden gems, where you can enjoy one of the island’s most beautiful seas.
Only 350 meters away, easily reachable on foot, by car or by scooter, you will find the beach of Cannelle, a place dear to the family and an oasis of relaxation.
If, on the other hand, you want to immerse yourself in village life and meet the locals, you can visit the Port, just 1.5 km away, the Castle, about 7 km away, or the locality of Campese, also about 7 km away, all easily reachable on foot, by car or by scooter.
All year round, from this side of Giglio Island, you can enjoy the magnificent spectacle of the sunrise. From the bedroom with bathroom, you can admire it comfortably lying in bed, as the sky and sea are tinged with wonderful colors in one of the most beautiful moments of the day.
In the evening, the villa’s unique location offers an additional spectacle. By turning off the lights and looking up at the sky, you can be fascinated by the Milky Way and surrounded by a starry sky so bright that it almost seems possible to touch it with a finger. This show is truly unique and nowadays can only be seen in very few places. Our hill is certainly one of them.
To this must be added the extreme proximity to the two beaches that, in my opinion, are the most beautiful on Giglio.

Villa le Rocce The Villa is located on top of the hill overlooking the Bay of Cannelle. The feeling you feel when you get here is that you are in a dimension where nature dominates quietly. Surrounded by greenery and in close proximity to the sea, which, seen from above, gives the feeling of being on a large boat, you can indulge in total relaxation in a setting equipped with every comfort. For those who wish, the option of taking short or long walks is right at your fingertips (trail to the Castle and trail to the Caldane). If you want to discover the life of the village with its inhabitants (whether the Port is only 1 km away and easily accessible on foot or by scooter car or the Castle 7 km away and reachable by any means of transport) you never have the feeling of being separated from the rest of the island. In close contact with unspoiled nature, surrounded by the sun, the sky, the sea, and nature, you can enjoy a truly privileged location. If you conceive of the vacation as an opportunity to disconnect from the busy rhythms and noise of the city, where time becomes an unusual dimension and more available to your needs and well-being, this villa is for you.
