THE HOUSE
On the marvelous coast of Tuscany, just outside the town of Porto Ercole between two Spanish Fortresses of the XVI century appears this classic Tuscan villa. This residence is the larger part of the original villa. As you enter the private blooming garden full of flowers your attention will be captured by the large breathtaking terrace with an amazing sea view, together with the very elegant cobalt pool with salted water. The outdoor area is organized in different spaces with tables and sitting areas where you can relax and enjoy your holiday with friends and family. Inside, the house is elegantly decorated and the kitchen, just renovated, is equipped with all the modern appliances you need, including a separate laundry room with washer and dryer. Every room has independent air-conditioning and heating. The master bedroom, on the ground level, has an ensuite full bath with a large shower, two sinks and toilet and bidet. This bedroom opens directly on the patio that overlooks the sea, so in the morning you can enjoy this amazing view from your bed. The second bedroom is on the ground level as well with its ensuite bathroom and a lovely garden view. If you need a private working space, this room also has a desk and a chair, and upon request we can also set up a printer and a Dell monitor for your device. The third and fourth bedrooms are both at the lower level, just under the terrace and each has its ensuite bathroom and incredible sea views and a dedicated outdoor space. These three guest bedrooms can be set up with two single beds or with one double bed as you prefer. We take extra care to prepare the beds in the best way as we believe that resting well is an important part of your holiday: the mattresses are all covered with a soft cotton mattress pad, and all our linen are soft 100% sateen cotton and each guest has two alternative down pillows with medium and soft support for side and back/stomach sleepers. We also provide soft cotton towels and robes for the bathrooms and towels for the pool. The indoor living and dining area are very comfortable as well as the outside. Wifi has been upgraded in all the property so you can stay online also in the outdoor spaces.
HISTORY OF PORTO ERCOLE
Porto Ercole certainly is a very charming little town on the seashore in Tuscany: it is listed as one of the 100 most beautiful "borghi" in Italy.
Its history dates back to the time of the Etruscans over 1.000 years ago, then in the Middle Ages it has been a territory under the Aldobrandeschi family and later it became part of the Stato dei Presidi, under the Spanish King Filippo II. The three main fortresses built in the XVI century, are the mark left from this Spanish period.
For many years it has just been a village of fishermen until about 50 years ago it became one of the most famous Italian summer destinations. The town is also known because the famous painter Caravaggio died on the shore of the Feniglia beach just outside from Porto Ercole.
WHAT YOU CAN DO & SEE
Five minutes away, walking distance, from the residence there are two beaches with two very well organized facilities with beach umbrellas, sun beds, and small shacks where you can grab a salad or a sandwich. It takes only a ten minutes walk or few minutes by car to reach the harbor of Porto Ercole where you can find the restaurants, shops and even rent a boat to discover the coast from the sea, swim in the crystal clear waters and lay in the sun on the hidden beaches. You can visit the Spanish Fortress Forte Stella.
You can also take a walk in the heart of the historic old town along the tiny streets overlooking the sea. Enjoy great views walking, jogging or driving on the scenic Panoramic Road that will take you all around the Monte Argentario to the town of Porto Santo Stefano. If you are a golfer you can play at the 18 hole golf course of the Argentario Golf and Wellness Resort just 4,6 miles from the home.
This splendid residence is 98 miles away from Rome, 120 miles from Florence, 75 miles from Siena, 64 miles from Montalcino and only 20 miles from the ancient Middle Age village of Capalbio. You might also be interested in the Saturnia Thermal Springs that are only 30 miles away. There is so much you can see and do in this area !

Amazing villa in Porto Ercole, Italy
I hosted my 70th birthday party at the villa for the month of June 2023. I had 25 guests coming and going over the month and everyone loved the home. From the very start to the end, the villa was wonderful. The host and hostess (owners) were so welcoming and helpful. The daily assistance from the caretakers was accommodating and supportive. The villa was beautiful and comfortable. The sea below the villa was warm and fun. The pool was clean and inviting. Chef Chiara's cooking demonstrations and food preparation were fun with delicious and plentiful meals. I would recommend this home for anyone wanting a quiet and lovely villa on the Mediterranean Sea with nice little seaside towns for exploring, shopping and eating out. It is less than a 2 hour train or bus ride from Rome center or the airport. Thank you for the wonderful vacation!
Stayed 29 nights in Jun 2023

Our hobby is traveling, more than a hobby it is for us a great passion. Every trip we have been on is to us a "chapter of a book" that we very carefully guard. Once we are back home we start thinking about our next destination even if we do not know yet when we will be able to start writing this new chapter.
We have been traveling all across the world for years and we have learned about the importance of hospitality. We have been very fortunate to meet really incredible hosts that have made us feel at home in the most remote places in the world and helped us in showing the best that of each place.
Our mission is to make our guests experience our unique and genuine style of hospitality, crafted from passion and personal experience.
We do our best to make "our chapter of your book" a memorable experience for you.

Why they chose this property

This property was built more than 60 years ago from my father in law and it has always been our family summer home, for this reason we love it and take very good care of it.

What makes this property unique

The views of the sea and of the small island from the terrace are extraordinary beautiful at all hours of the day, from dawn to sunset, and also at night when the full moon is mirrored in the water and lights up the bay.
The perfect manicured garden is filled with colorful geraniums, roses, buganvillee, hydrangeas and agapanthus that create a Mediterranean atmosphere.
The outdoor covered patio is our favorite spot to start the day while having breakfast in the morning looking at the sea. The salted pool area is equipped with comfortable sun beds and umbrellas and is the best place to relax.
The property is located in a quiet area away from the crowds but still very close to the town that you can reach by foot. It is also very close to the beach and to the water, which allows you to go and come back to the house in about 10 minutes walk.
