The interior design concept for 'il Salotto' creates a central connection between old and new and takes its guests on a journey of relaxation, enjoyment and comfort. In German, the name of the wine resort means “living room” or “having a good time with friends”. This is exactly what the interior architects used as the guiding principle for their concept and is reflected in the interior of the four stylish and elegant apartments / holiday homes as well as in the public area of ​​the resort.

Cabernet, Sangiovese and Merlot

The 'il Salotto' has three holiday homes with around 70 square meters that bear the names of famous wines.

In Casa Cabernet, Casa Sangiovese and Casa Merlot, guests immerse themselves in their own living room with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchenette, dining area and lounge and are welcomed with light colors and real oak floors. As soon as you step over the threshold, this creates a homely, charming and very cozy atmosphere that exudes authenticity and quality at the same time.

Other high-quality materials such as real leather armchairs, a fluffy carpet and the olive-colored sofa underline the theme of cosiness. The look is complemented with design details in greige and the use of real wood in the floor, ceiling and furniture - this exudes a natural warmth in the room. The large window fronts are enclosed by elegant linen scarves and allow guests a wide view of the paradisiacal landscape.

A design highlight: the travertine stone extracted on site in the quarry has its stage in the entire 'il Salotto' Wines & Resort and is sprinkled in all the bathrooms or in the small kitchenettes of the casas. This underlines the typical Tuscan style in a straight line and creates a symbiosis of old and new

The bedrooms of the three casas house a modern but at the same time very romantic four-poster bed and continue the style of the living room. Here, too, the color canon of beige, greige and olive is used and plays around the modern brass elements. In the bathrooms, Italian flair meets traditional and at the same time modern design details. Light tiles and traditional Tuscan fittings complete the look.

All three casas also have their own large sun terrace with stylish outdoor furniture and a chilled-out hammock - perfect conditions to unwind and forget everyday life at home.

Exclusive Morellino

The fourth apartment, the 'Villa Morellino', is a real gem in the middle of the dreamlike complex. On two floors with around 150 square meters, the traditional and modern design language is expanded again and leads to a sophisticated and stately interpretation. Many elements from the Casas can also be found here, but are complemented by real highlights. A private bar counter made of wood and with a travertine stone worktop fits tastefully into the living area. The indirect lighting on the counter and the cozy bar chairs made of brown leather complete the overall picture. Small and brightly upholstered seating niches with olive-green cushions on the entire large window front pull guests under the spell of the seemingly endless wine landscape around the tower room. Perfect,

The core

The 'il Salotto' offers its guests not only the stylish holiday homes but also public areas for relaxation. In the 'Sala Degustation' people come together to share experiences. Tuscan country house style is refined with modern elegance in two merging areas.

The central bar - as the center of the action - artistically stages the wines of the winery that have been specially made by the winery with an elaborate shelf with warm lighting. As in the 'Villa Morellino', the real wood front of the bar is refined with travertine stone and elegantly framed by the light leather bar armchairs. Indirect lighting at the bar and brass pendant lights above the bar create a warm and delicate atmosphere for the guest. Daylight streams through huge window fronts into the 'Sala Degustation' and plays around the oak floor in a picturesque way. A large community table in the center of the room, which impresses with its olive tree look, enables people to come together to enjoy the different wines together.

According to the motto 'carpe diem' and 'la dolce vita', the resort offers seasonal themed evenings and wine tastings with its own organic wines and culinary accompaniment. The interior designers deliberately designed the bar area with its own espresso corner to be rustic and at the same time very cozy.

Opposite the bar, you immerse yourself in a sea of ​​bright and inviting sofas, which were placed directly by the interior designers in front of the natural stone fireplace and thus allow a perfect view of the Tuscan landscape - a place with an absolute feel-good character. Olive green pillows and plants add real color accents. Here, too, the guests come together to have a cozy drink and to end the evening in a calm and tasteful atmosphere.

The icing on the cake

The outdoor area of ​​'il Salotto' Wines & Resort is the icing on the cake in this beautiful Tuscan complex. Two huge terraces with chilled but very high quality furniture in the colors greige and beige offer enough places to retreat to relax. A large pizza oven attracts guests on the east terrace and there is a cozy fire bowl on the west terrace for the right ambience for a sundowner. In the large pool, located directly on the slope, guests can cool off and enjoy the fantastic view of the expanse. Further down is the yoga terrace, which allows even more relaxation in the resort.

Another highlight: the wine cellar, which is located under the resort. This is where the fine wines from 'il Salotto' are stored and await tasting. Grapes, terroir and microclimate of the Maremma region are the best prerequisites for a particularly enjoyable note in wine.

In the midst of this extraordinary Tuscan wine landscape, a place has been created where indulgence is at home and guests can expect a truly exclusive holiday experience with tasteful, high-quality and authentic interior design.
