Among the countless gems of Tuscany, the extraordinary territory surrounding the promontory of Monte Argentario: the heart of this wonderful land, Porto Santo Stefano
Among the wonders of Tuscany, the Argentario promontory and the town of Porto Santo Stefano represent one of the most fascinating destinations for those who love the sea, nature and history: breathtaking landscapes, crystal clear waters and a rich cultural heritage offer a unique experience.
The Argentario Promontory
Monte Argentario is a promontory located on the Tyrrhenian coast, connected to the mainland by two natural tombolos, the Tombolo della Giannella and the Tombolo di Feniglia, and by an artificial road that crosses the Orbetello lagoon. This particular geological conformation creates a unique environment rich in biodiversity.
The coast is rugged, full of coves, caves and hidden bays. The cliffs overlooking the sea offer spectacular views and are the ideal place for hiking, diving and snorkeling. Among the most beautiful beaches are Cala del Gesso, Cala Piccola and Cala del Bove, reachable only by sea or difficult pathways, thus guaranteeing an atmosphere of tranquility and isolation.
Porto Santo Stefano
Porto Santo Stefano, capital of the municipality of Monte Argentario, is the beating heart of life on the promontory. A picturesque seaside village that develops around its two main ports, Porto Vecchio and Porto del Valle, once a refuge for fishing boats, and today esteemed tourist ports, as well as locations for unmissable events. Among these is the Argentario Sailing Week, a spectacular international regatta which sees the participation of over 50 vintage and classic boats from various countries around the world.
Among the symbolic places of Porto Santo Stefano there is certainly the Spanish Fortress dating back to the 17th century, now home to a museum dedicated to the maritime history of the area. From here, the panoramic view of the coast and the Tuscan archipelago is truly breathtaking.
The seafront of Porto Santo Stefano is perfect for an evening walk among the bars that offer local specialties based on fresh fish and other delicacies of Tuscan cuisine.
The Argentario coast and Porto Santo Stefano are ideal destinations for those looking for the perfect combination of natural beauty, history and traditions, and want to fully enjoy a life that only the sea can offer, outside the box and in the spirit of tranquility.
