On the incredible cliffs of Argentario, with an unrivaled sea view, we find this beautiful 30.6-hectare estate with vineyards, wine cellar, accommodation business and direct access to the sea. Villas and cottages offer a total of 19 bedrooms and 23 bathrooms and the buildings boast high-quality finishes with a sober and elegant style.
This incredible estate is the result of lifework and passion for the area: the owners (who have had the estate for over thirty years) worked tirelessly to create something unique on the slopes of Monte Argentario, an area of rare beauty and strictly protected, and their determination led to the creation of an unrepeatable property.
The estate is accessed via a private road closed by gates offering uttermost privacy and safety: facing west, the shape of the estate recalls an amphitheater, protected to the rear by mountains sheltering it from winds. This is what makes the property well-suited to produce wines. The modern cellar exploits the vineyard (1.2 ha) to produce up to 13,000 bottles of wine.
What's more, western exposure offers every night breathtaking sunsets, with the sun diving into the Tyrrhenian Sea next to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
From the estate one can quickly reach several centers of Argentario with their services (Porto Santo Stefano, Monte Argentario, Porto Ercole) and other cities of Tuscany (Grosseto, Orbetello, Saturnia, Punta Ala, Montalcino, Siena). In just over two hours one can also get to Rome (170km; 2h 20’). The closest airport is Grosseto (53km; 55’) but for intercontinental flights we strongly suggest the terminals of Rome, Pisa, Florence and Bologna.


DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDINGS
Access to the property is via a private road (which then split into two separate paths) in excellent condition. Unlike common countryside roads, the owners applied a concrete surface which makes the road incredibly uniform and easily drove on. Walls supporting the terraces are made out of reinforced concrete as well, so to ensure maximum resistance, and are then covered with local stones that fit very well with the surroundings.
The first path descends towards the sea and leads to part of the vineyards and four residential buildings. The other road leads instead towards the upper part of the coast and to the remaining fields, the business center and other residential buildings (here below a description of the buildings following the order they are encountered moving along the roads).
