Rocchette is a small seaside resort that takes its name from the rocky peninsula where a beautifully preserved 11th century castle stands. This fortified castle, set on a dramatic cliff-top, 100 metres above the sea, was build to defend the Etruscan coast from the raids of the Moors.The castle is now hunting lodge and summer residence of the Marchesi Lucifero, also owner of the apartments.


Five minutes walk away from the castle, there are two typical scarlet red houses, originally built to serve the needs of the castle. Here are 5 apartments at the very top of the hill opposite the castle, surrounded by a pine tree forest, typical of the Tuscan coastal area.
