About the home

This is a rare opportunity to stay in an elegant apartment within the walls of a pristine Tuscan National Heritage monument. La Rocca Spagnola, 1557, was built during the Spanish occupation of Tuscany and sits magnificently over the picturesque Marina of Porto Ercole. La Rocca is the perfect place for a quiet and peaceful retreat.

The apartment, La Santa Barbara (the gun powder room) features a large vaulted room broken by a stunningly designed mezzanine, elegantly furnished with period pieces. Comfortable accommodation for four with one twin room and one super king (on mezzanine) as well as fully equipped kitchen and bathroom.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
La Rocca is beautifully maintained with fresh herbs growing (to be picked and enjoyed!) and stupendous views to be savoured.
The fortress sits within easy walking distance to a rocky beach and the working Marina of Porto Ercole. A number of restaurants offer the opportunity to sample Tuscan cooking (and wine!) as well as numerous bars (cappuccino etc.!) as well as fish-markets, boutiques and grocery shops
Wonderful off-season too with beautiful, wild walks and ideally situated to explore the Tuscan Maremma and archipelago as well as easy access to Rome, Saturnia, Pisa, Florence etc.
Come home to a log fire and glass of rich, red, Tuscan wine!

Further details outdoors:

Guestbook for ROCCA SPAGNOLA,SANTA BARBARA,

Dear Dora
We did not get this message as we had already left, but it was not a problem as we arrived at 3pm and Franca just happened to be near the gate when arrived. She showed us around and was very helpful. Mathia was also around and he too was very friendly and helpful.
The apartment was lovely and the visitors book very, very useful, (unfortunately, I did not have time to add my comments to it, but I don't think I could have written anything other than how wonderful it all was). We had a fabulous time and being at La Rocca was very special. We had brilliant weather for the whole time we were in Porto Ercole (two and half weeks in total), so we had to time to spend days on different beaches or exploring Tuscany, Lazio and Umbria. We met up with family who have apartments in Porto Ercole and also old family friends who still live there. A group of us managed to hire a boat with a captain for two of the days. He took us around Argentario and over to Giannutri, which was superb and thoroughy recommended for anyone visiting.
We went to one of the concerts, (Flamenco dancing and singing). It was very enjoyable.
Thanks again for you help and info and would recommend La Rocca as great place to spend a holiday.
Regards
Anne
