More details

Our house is situated in the foothills of Monte Argentario, a mountain promontory with long sandy beaches and a rocky coastline in southern Tuscany. Most years you can swim right up to the end of October.

The house itself with 10 acres of land is a completely private place and yet only five minutes from the sea and the unspoilt village of Porto Ercole with its pretty harbour, restaurants, bars and cafes

Apart from the views, perhaps the most striking feature is the wide-ranging terrace, planted with pomegranate, olive, pine and lime trees. Here you can eat out either under a pergola or at another spot looking across the sea. In the evenings the outside lights make the terrace seem to be a part of the house.

Nearby under the eucalypts you will find a ping-pong table and a trampoline for children. Elsewhere a badminton court close to the secluded pool for an after-game swim.

And only five minutes away is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the Tuscan coast. Extending from the Argentario in a 6 kilometre crescent to the mainland, it has all the seaside facilities including bars, restaurants, wind-surfing, water and jet skiing.

Behind the beach is a magnificent pine forest with deer and other wildlife. Bicycles can be hired to ride through the forest and you can stop at various places along the way to swim - see photographs.

.Other expeditions:

Take a ferry to the nearby island of Giglio and eat at one of its excellent sea-food restaurants and swim in the crystal-clear water (see photographs)

Visit the sulphur baths at Saturnia, 90 minutes drive.

Rent a boat and go round the Argentario visiting the blue grotto and the many small bays and take a picnic with you.

Take a boat trip round the nearby lagoons where you will see flocks of migrating flamingoes and other wild-life (see photographs)

Wander round the market which takes place every Monday in Porto Ercole and on Saturdays in Orbetello

Follow one of the many hiking trails which criss-cross Monte Argentario, revealing stupendous views up and down the Tuscan coast. One of them begins at the bottom of our drive.

Airports: Pisa is 2.5 hours drive from the house, Rome Fiumicino 1.5 hours, Rome Ciampino 2.5 hours

Interaction with guest

We (the owners) live in the UK so will not be on hand for any advice or help needed, but you can always contact us either by telephone or email at any time during your stay at the house. If a problem arises you should initially tell the cleaner, Lourdes, who comes up 4 times a week or Luigi, the gardener who will be there most mornings. They both speak Italian and Lourdes speaks Spanish as well. But if a problem is not being resolved quickly enough or completely, please get in touch with us directly. And you should also contact us if it is anything to do with the internet because neither Luigi or Lourdes has any experience in this field.
