Location
The promontory of Monte Argentario is known for its exceptionally mild climate. Surrounded by sea, it is connected to the mainland by a causeway and a man-made isthmus. Argentario’s unique landscape offers wonderful hiking and cycling routes through the lush Mediterranean scrub, with panoramic views. However, the area’s main attractions are the unspoiled coves and beaches around the promontory. Some have sunbeds and cafés others, such as Cala del Gesso (20 minutes) and Cala Grande (22 minutes), are off the beaten track and so quieter. The closest beach, La Soda, is just a 3-minute drive.
There are two towns in Argentario. Porto Santo Stefano (10 minutes) is a popular resort. From here you can catch a boat to the island of Giglio which makes a great day trip. The town has all the amenities you need and hosts a weekly market every Tuesday. Here you can find the freshest local ingredients to cook at home. Monday is market day in Porto Ercole (13 minutes), the other town in Argentario.
To the south of Monte Argentario, Porto Ercole is considered to be one of the prettiest towns in Italy. Narrow lanes lead to it Medieval centre and the Church of Sant’Erasmo, where you will find the tombs of former Spanish rulers. Both towns have a wide range of excellent restaurants to suit all budgets.
For more active guests there are several diving centres around Argentario, as well as sailing schools and charter companies offering fishing or day cruises. There is also Argentario Golf Club (13 minutes) for a round of golf in breathtaking surroundings.
The closest airport is Rome Fiumicino, a 1 hour 45 minute drive away.
