Villa Porto Ercole - Monte Argentario

Located within an exclusive part of Italy, in one of the most prestigious sections of the Argentario promontory, awash with incredible natural beauty, and set against the wonderful backdrop of typically Tuscan maquis, the villa offers guests a relaxing holiday immersed in lush landscapes just a stone's throw from the sea. The atmosphere is peaceful and family-friendly. Guests at the residence have private access to a delightful sandy beach, which is ideal for children and can be reached on foot within 10 minutes. With its local stone facade, the villa is tastefully decorated and features large windows. Spacious and well cared-for, the house comprises a lounge/dining room, 3 en suite double bedrooms, 1 twin bedroom, 1 room with a queen-sized bed, a bathroom, 1 utility room with toilet facilities, and a dining kitchen complete with a full range of domestic appliances, including a dishwasher, a washing machine, an oven and a fridge. Guests have access to the generously proportioned terrace, complete with sun loungers for some serious sun bathing, and a garden table and chairs that are perfect for savouring a barbecued al fresco lunch or dinner. The villa is the ideal base from which to visit places rich in Etruscan and mediaeval history, such as Pitigliano and Sorano. The thermal spa at Saturnia is around 30 miles away, whereas the ruins of the cities of Ansedonia and Capalbio are a mere 5 miles away. Every day, ferries depart from Porto Santo Stefano for the islands of Giglio and Giannutri. Porto Ercole plays host – within the Orbetello lagoon – to Cala Galera, the nature reserve protected by the WWF. The cultural capitals of Siena, Pisa, Florence and Rome are all within easy reach.
