Rising serenely above the Tyrrhenian Sea and gazing out towards the Bay of Talamone, Monte Argentario and the island of Giglio, Villa Talamo is an 18th-century former monastery that has been lovingly restored to create an enchanting, character-filled Tuscan home. Cocooned in a private 10-acre coastal estate with pool and direct sea access, the property offers exquisite seclusion, space in abundance, and a level of hospitality that has few rivals.

The Area

Located on the sea in the south of Tuscany, Villa Talamo is perfectly positioned for those who wish to experience some of the region's lesser-visited gems.

In terms of beaches (apart from the sea access at the bottom of the garden), there are numerous options nearby, including the long stretch of sand at Spiaggia dell'Osa, which is just a few minutes' drive away. Heading a little further south, a 20-minute drive will take you to the long, pine-fringed beach of Feniglia, which connects Monte Argentario to the mainland. Just to the north, the Parco Naturale della Maremma (also know as the Parco Naturale dell'Uccellina) is home to a series of gloriously unspoilt beaches, including Cala di Forno and Marina di Alberese. The park also offers great cycling, walking trails and plenty of organised activities.

There are numerous fascinating and beautiful towns and cities to visit within about a 30-minute drive. These include: Grosseto, with its fine historic centre, its 13th-century Cathedral of San Lorenzo and its Museo Archeologico e d'Arte della Maremma; Orbetello, the gateway to Monte Argentario; and the twin port towns of Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole on the northern and southern sides of Monte Argentario.

A little further afield is the picturesque coastal town of Castiglione della Pescaia (50mins), the mediaeval wine-producing town of Montalcino (1hr), and Siena (1hr). Should you wish to visit Tuscany's northern gems, including Pisa, Lucca and Florence, you'll be there in about two and a half hours.
