Overview
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.
What you should know…

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LentiscoVilla 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.

Region
The picturesque Siena, located in the heart of Tuscany, Italy, is a mesmerising destination that encapsulates the essence of Italian culture, history, and natural beauty. With its rolling hills, charming medieval towns, and renowned art, Siena offers a captivating experience for travellers. One of the region's most famous attractions is the historic city of Siena itself, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The city's unique feature is the Piazza del Campo, a stunning shell-shaped square that hosts the world-famous Palio di Siena, a thrilling horse race held twice a year. The Torre del Mangia, a towering bell tower, offers panoramic views of the city and surrounding countryside, allowing visitors to fully appreciate Siena's historic and architectural splendour.
Tuscany
With its rolling fields, historical heritage and a cuisine that’s a delight for all the senses, it’s no wonder Tuscany is one of the most popular regions in Italy for holidaymakers. Yet even with its popularity, you can still kick back in one of our luxury villas in Tuscany and feel peace, tranquillity and the joy of seclusion.
This is one destination that really does have a little bit of everything for everyone, whether you’re travelling with family, friends or are just looking for a romantic getaway with that special someone.
Kids
Best Suited For: TeensThe peninsula is ideal for older children that favour hiking and adventurous experiences, but families with smaller children will still be able to find relaxing spots and sleepy villages that offer more peace.
Get the family ready for a wholesome hike through the breathtaking landscape and walk to Cala del Bove, a scenic point from where to soak up amazing views. From here, a rocky path leads all the way to a small beach Cala Piccola with mellow pebbles and clear, blue water tucked into a picturesque rocky cove offering a cosy feel. There’s also a restaurant nearby if you or your little ones get hungry and need to refuel.
The north part of the peninsula offers more exploring opportunities, with castle ruins, further vantage points and historical landmarks to discover on foot or by bike or car. After a wholesome day, recharge your batteries in Porto Santo Stefano – a central town with a port, fortress and a waterside promenade flanked by plenty of restaurants, gelaterias and cafés. From here it’s super easy to organise boat trips and excursions, catch a ferry to one of the nearby islands or visit Argentario Aquarium, a large aquarium where you can observe local fish and other marine animals.

Movie-like villa!
Short stop in this beautiful villa, the most beautiful place of my trip to Italy.
Going down the stairs and arriving at the sea was magical every time. The rooms, the terraces, the living room and every place in the house is beautiful and well cared for. The view is magnificent and the sunsets leave you breathless.
I truly recommend everyone to stay in this movie-like villa. -
The house is magnificent
The house is magnificent, well maintained and cared for. The private access to the sea gives the possibility to fully experience the beautiful sea of Tuscany, is a dream villa! The owner also arranged for us boat trips and dinners with the chef that made our stay even more enjoyable. We will be back soon.

Really really happy to stay there
Amazing villa with an incredible view, we have had a really beautiful vacation in this house that is really magical. The sea access gives an incredible feeling and the location is something that I never see in my life. Really really happy to stay there.
The Tuscany countryside is also near from Monte Argentario so we have had also a full day in vineyards and Tuscany hills.
