| The apartment is in the beautiful Tuscan fishing village of Porto Santo Stefano, situated on Monte Argentario, an island linked by 3 causeways to the mainland. This luxery apartment comprises 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 en suite), a large living/dining area, state of the art kitchen and a large sea facing terrace. It was completely rebuilt when I purchased it several years ago. A wall mounted plasma screen with Sky satallite TV is situated in the sitting area. A Wifi router for internet access is installed and the password is displayed to enable clients to use their own laptops. A built-in illuminated barbecue and grassed area is adjacent to the main terrace. A second lower terrace exists for secluded reading and contains an outdoor shower. |

| The terrace really is the jewel of this property. It directly overlooks a small olive grove and then below that is the fishing village of Porto Santo Stefano. Approximately 30Km of Tuscan coastline is visible from the terrace. The terrace features a variety of high quality garden furniture. An adjacent area has a built in barbecue with lights. A 2nd lower terrace has a shaded area for reading and an outdoor shower. Underground car parking for 1 large or 2 small cars is attached to the property. The accommodation is not suitable for toddlers and young children due to lack of fencing. Older children are welcomed. A new 18 hole golf course and luxury spa is 10 minutes drive from the apartment close to the beautiful town of Porto Ercole. The town center is 15 minutes walk via a network of footpaths and steps or a 4 minutes drive. Several local intimate beaches can be found in the village but larger sandy beaches are located 10 minutes drive away. Porto Santo Stefano bisects the airports of Rome and Pisa. The drive is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes. The harbour and local shops are reached via steps and footpaths and takes approximately 15 minutes. A car is advised if you wish to explore the beauty of the locality. There are enough small shops and good restaurants to keep most people interested. It should be noted there are few foreign tourists in this resort - the majority of holiday makers being Italian. There are several small supermarkets and a number of smaller speciality shops. There is one shop selling only hand made fresh pasta - fabulous! Visit the Moletto for superb seafood on the seafront or Mama Liches directly on the beach between Orbitelo and Porto Ercole. There are 2 vibrant local markets in the village and Orbetello where the full flavour of Italian life can be tasted The 2 beautiful hill top towns of Capalbio and Magliano in Toscana are 25 mins drive away. These are essential visits, as is the nearby Island of Giglio which is reached by ferry from Santo Steffano. The walled town of Giglio Costello contains a maze of tiny streets and is quite beautiful and unspoilt.. |
