Vista dei Forti Porto Ercole, Tuscany Sleeps 6 guests, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms DESCRIPTION Maritime pine and palm trees, tall cypresses, shrubs and colourful geraniums help create the perfect Mediterranean atmosphere of the lush, south facing garden surrounding Vista dei Forti, where gazebos and shaded terraces have been thoughtfully designed to maximize the outdoor living space for a relaxing holiday. Traditionally built and furnished with Italian country furniture, this villa will give you the real taste of Italy’s relaxing lifestyle and would make the ideal base to explore the entire Argentario peninsula. In fact, just 1.5 km away is Porto Ercole, one of the two harbour towns of the peninsula, (the other one being Porto Santo Stefano, with a regular ferry service to Isola del Giglio), offering a selection of small shops, restaurants, pavement cafes and a charming marina. All around Monte Argentario you have a wide range of beaches to choose from, as well as tennis courts, horse-riding and an 18-hole golf course. Recommended day trips may include the picturesque hilltop town of Capalbio and the splendid natural park of Uccellina, on the Tuscan mainland or the unique Etruscan heritage in Tarquinia, northern Lazio.

INSIDER TIPS A small villa ideally placed to explore Tuscany, Lazio and Umbria, which enjoys the sea views from its elevated position. You will love the terracotta colour of this property which sits in a totally secluded setting. If you don't fancy eating at the villa, why not try Osteria dei Nobili Santi in Porto Ercole (incidentally, Porto Ercole is listed among the 'Borghi più belli d'Italia' = Italy's most beautiful villages)? The service is great and the food is even better; I never thought you could prepare so many delicious dishes with pumpkin flowers! The wine is also worth tasting and so are the chef's fresh pasta creations. The easy access to Isola del Giglio, and three of the most impressive regions of central Italy, namely Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio is only one of the reasons for staying at Vista dei Forti. SERVICES Included: 2 hours maid service 3 times per week. WiFi internet. Pool towels.Extras: Winter heating & air conditioning (for excessive use beyond 300 kw/h).
