Carmine

  • 8 guests

  • 3 bedrooms

  • 3 bathrooms

Carmine is a modern villa with all the trimmings, perfect for a big family who needs to get away from the hustle and bustle of the big city. Out here, you'll be surrounded by nature, fragrant gardens of evergreen herbs and views out to the open seas. Even though you'll need a car to explore the island comfortably, Sant'Ambrogio is only a few minutes away and you can easily stroll down for a nice meal at one of the osterias. If you're keen to take advantage of the peaceful setting and crack on with your reading list, feel free to camp out by the pool and go for a dip when it gets too hot to handle, then enjoy a casual alfresco meal followed by a drink on the terrace and watch the sun go down. The minimalist insides will quickly put your mind into a relaxed mood — the same goes for the serene bedrooms that are perfect for getting a good night's rest in preparation for tomorrow's adventures.
