History of the Castle of Talamonaccio

In the 19th century, the military fortification turned into a private residence.

By the way, it was here that a fragment of the James Bond film "Quantum of Solace" was filmed.

The main building (castle) is two-storey. Let's go inside.

Passing through the main entrance, you find yourself in a cozy lobby. It does not at all resemble the gloomy interiors of medieval hotels - it is a bright Mediterranean-style room. Also on the ground floor there is a kitchen and three bedrooms - each has its own bathroom, decorated in soft milky tones.

We go up the stairs to the second floor, into the living room. Its windows offer stunning views of the azure expanse of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Cozy sofas and armchairs, a fireplace, a dining area with an antique table of the 16th century, an antique kitchen set that serves as a mini-bar - you can spend long hours here with a friendly conversation. There are also modern amenities such as air conditioning and a 32-inch SKY LCD TV with DVD.

Through the living room we go out onto a small terrace and admire the stunning views of two picturesque bays: Porto Santo Stefano and Talamone. If you look closely, you will see a charming village in the north and three islands - Giannutri, Giglio and Monte Cristo.
