VILLA CALA GALERA - PORTO ERCOLE

7 Bedrooms

Locarion and Surrounding Area
Monte Argentario is a large and hilly promontory in Southern Tuscany. Popular primarily with well-off Italians, the area boasts a nature reserve and some relatively unspoilt beaches. Long time ago this sizeable outpost of Tuscany was an island; later it became joined to the mainland by three sand stripes, which are now covered in woodland and separated by lagoons. Monte Argentario is part of the Province of Grosseto, an interesting area of Tuscany which is becoming increasingly fashionable as a holiday destination, also known as Maremma. There are two pretty harbour/resort towns at Monte Argentario which make good holiday bases: Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole. Porto Santo Stefano is on the northern side of the promontory, and is the largest town, served by ferries to the Tuscan islands. Porto Ercole faces south, and is a small and pretty harbour settlement. A third option is Orbetello, located on the central isthmus, between the two lagoons. The southern connecting isthmus is a pine-clad nature reserve (called the Tombolo), with a path for walkers and cyclists along its length. From here you can access one of the coast's quietest beaches.

Property 184302 is a large and secluded estate that enjoys terrific views of the Tyrrhenian sea, Porto Ercole with its fortress and its 2 harbours and the Tuscan Coast. The villa is located at only 1,5 km to Porto Ercole and about 2 km to 2 wonderful beaches: La Feniglia (a longest sandy beach close to a natural Oasis) and Cala Galera, a bay overlooking the sea with an astonishing view that stretch over southern coast of Tuscany until the Latium Region. Cala Galera is also the touristic port where you can moor or hire a power boat.
