A beautiful house, clean and well maintained. The description of the house is fully accurate. All equipment necessary to make the stay comfortable is supplied and in good working condition. The pool was also well maintained and clean. Communication with the owners was always easy, friendly and fast.
The surroundings are beautiful and the night sky was the best I have seen in a long time (since there is few artificial light around). The pool is a few meters from the house over a small bridge, which made it easy for us to communicate to our kids where not to go alone for safety reasons. All in all, house, pool, and garden are perfect for just spending your day relaxing.
As described, the property is located "in the middle of nowhere", which makes much of its appeal. However, within about 20-40 minutes by car you can reach a lot of picturesque small Tuscan towns as well as the beaches around Monte Argentario. The nicest beach in the vicinity is probably Feniglia (just on the south end of Monte Argentario, close to Porto Ercole). It is a reasonably clean, sandy beach with lots of space of which only little is claimed by "stabilmenti balneari". The water is shallow, so an ideal spot for kids to try to learn to swim and build castles in the sand.
We also recommend visiting the hot springs at Saturnia and, if you are into snorkeling, renting a "gommone" (zodiac boat) for easy access to Monte Argentario's rocky coast. For lovers of modern art, Niki de Saint Phalle's "Giardino dei Tarocchi" is nearby as well.
All in all, we had a wonderful holiday and will gladly come back.
