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.
