Villa Lentisco

About this property

Built into the cliff offering magnificent ocean views and direct access to the sea, Villa Lentisco promises guests to live out their Mediterranean dreams surrounded by nature in Tuscany’s Grosseto region.

Step inside from the patio to the open-plan living room that gets flooded with natural sunlight from early morning thanks to the large windows, and enjoy a cherished family time together in one of the two seating areas. With terracotta tiles underfoot, it stays cool in summer and offers plenty of space for unwinding. Exuding a charming ambience, here you can also find a dining corner with a large ornamental table made of stone. Direct access to a sunny terrace ensures you can switch between meals and sunbathing as much as you like, too. The bedrooms – located upstairs – are all traditionally furnished with double beds, while the bathrooms are awash with playful tiles in pastel hues which fantastically complement the house’s quirky, ‘70s décor.

Surrounded by natural beauty, the home perched on top of a steep cliff offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape, as well as direct, private access to the sea via a set of stone steps. On balmy evenings, retreat to the rear terrace to savour al-fresco meals and during the day doze off from the elevated platform equipped with sun loungers. You’ll be able to find plenty of shade under the pine trees, and the azure sea with waves lapping at the rocks is always within close reach. From the two private docks, you can dive into the water, or bask in the sun while watching the sun slip over the horizon from the comfy chairs.

The immediate location is great for those wanting to spend most of their time outdoors, taking in remarkable views, hiking through rocky landscapes and swimming in the crystal-clear sea. However, it’s easy to reach local restaurants and shops by just a few minutes' drive too.

Porto Santo Stefano is the closest town, with colourful houses, winding cobbled streets and plenty of bathing spots nearby. The old, characterful town is set on a hill above a bay with a natural harbour, trees and rocks covering the surrounding countryside, ideal for a visit on any day.

Conveniently positioned on the vibrant Tuscan coast, Grosseto offers a wealth of activities for holiday-goers, and shouldn’t miss from your itinerary. The entire historical centre is fenced with pentagonal Medicean walls, and there are plenty of interesting landmarks to observe here, as well as soaking up the old-worldly atmosphere, shopping and dining.

Villa Lentisco is located on Monte Argentario’s west shores – a small peninsula that forms part of Tuscany’s coast, not too far from the city of Grosseto.

Thanks to its elevated position, the villa enjoys one-of-a-kind views of the sea and surrounding cliffs, with an abundance of scenic points, hiking trails and remote beaches at your fingertips. Two of the closest spots include Cala del Gesso and Cala del Bove, both stunningly beautiful and offering views of the azure ocean pierced only by yachts cruising along the coast. The closest beach for swimming and sunbathing is Cala Piccola, and more sandy spots await further down south. Mar Morto - Spiaggia is truly breathtaking, while Spiaggia Le Cannelle features a Spanish tower and pebbled surface, excellent for snorkelling.

In 30 minutes by car, you can reach Ortobello, with its blue lagoon developed along a strip of land right in the middle of it. Have a look at the famous Spanish Mill, or visit the Archaeological Museum of Orbetello if you’re passionate about archaeology. In the historic centre, you’ll find shops, cafés and restaurants for unwinding and soaking up the culture.

The closest restaurant is 1.5km away, allowing you to indulge in local dishes without having to lift a finger. If you prefer to cook instead and make use of one of the many al-fresco areas, the supermarket can be found a 15-minute drive away in the direction of Porto Stefano. 

This town is the largest one in the area and features an ancient Spanish fortress built in the 17th century used to control the port during the Spanish occupation. The historic place now hosts regular exhibitions and events during summer which are worth a visit. Apart from the port full of fishing boats and yachts where you can observe the traditional village life, there’s also a pretty main square, Piazza dei Roni. Boasting terraced restaurants with a view of the sea, it’s the perfect place to indulge in some people-watching while enjoying a delicious meal and wine.

From the port, you can also easily hop on a boat tour or ferry to the nearby Isola del Giglio island. Together with 6 other islets, it forms a unique Tuscan archipelago which is home to sweeping beaches, sky-reaching cliffs and fascinating fauna and flora. History enthusiasts can explore the remains of the Roman villa of Domitius Ahenobarbus, as well as a small town centre for getting lost between crumbling buildings.

For more hustle and bustle, why not visit Grosseto, a comfortable 1-hour drive away? Of course, there’s a wealth of sightseeing to do here, and prominent spots and landmarks include the Cassero Senese di Grosseto fortress, many catholic churches and museums such as the Museo Archeologico e d'Arte della Maremma, with archaeological exhibits and mediaeval artwork with religious themes. Lazy days can also be spent strolling around the old town, peeking into boutiques and tasting the local cuisine.
