Bohemian seafront house in Monte Argentario

Seafront residence with garden and direct sea access in a secluded and exclusive part of Monte Argentario, southern Tuscany. Surrounded sea and nature, this four-bedroom apartment nestled between Cannelle beach and Isola Rossa is very bohemian, full of antique furniture and asian statues. There are daybeds scattered in various in various parts of the garden so you can relax, read or rest surrounded by nature. The house even has an outdoor bathroom to shower while enjoying the sea view.
A central feature of this property is that it has direct sea access through a private footpath, so you only need to walk 200 meters and some 20 steps to reach the water. The bay in front of the house has flat rocks that create little pools particularly fun for little kids. In the summer months (mid-June to early September) this house give you entry privileges to the Cannelle beach club which is in the adjacent bay, only a 15 minute walk or 5-minute drive away from the house. The Cannelle beach club has a beautiful and immense pool (you pay a daily rate) and a members-only poolside restaurant. There is also another public cafe' and casual restaurant at the Cannelle pebble beach, where we also keep two sun-beds you can use for free.
This place is great for nature lovers, groups of friends and family holidays. It is not suitable for elderly or people with mobility problems because they might find a little too challenging walking on the seaside rocks or accessing the sea from the pebble beach (but they can still enjoy the pool).

Interiors:
The sleeping area consists of four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The large master bedroom features a king size bed with ensuite bathroom with large shower. The other three bedrooms are: one with queen-size bed, another with single bed that can be pulled out to become a queen size, and a third with twin beds (they cannot be moved). This last room is a second living space with television and games, however it closes completely if you pull the wooden doors (so it can be totally private if you wish). These three rooms all share one large bathroom, but there is another stunning outdoor bathroom in the garden with toilet, sink and shower. All beds have lattice mattresses and lovely feather or memory foam cushions. The spacious living room is under a lovely portico that has glass screens with a breathtaking view overlooking the bay. The indoor dining area opens onto this area. The kitchen is fully equipped.

Exteriors:
The gardens of this house are spacious and consists of three main levels. On the ground level, in front of the property, there is a large lawn where you will find an outdoor sitting area and a dining table that sits comfortable 8 people under a portico. There are also two four-poster daybeds for wonderful siestas. Beyond a little gate and overlooking the sea on the edge of the garden there is a wooden deck with sun-beds and an outdoor bathroom with hot water surrounded by nature. Here you can take a shower after coming up from the sea. The lower part of the garden is under the trees where there is another carved wooden daybed. From this area from this area you continue down along a small path towards the sea. Note that the house is surrounded by nature which also means wild animals from time to time. We have an electric devise that keeps them away from the top part of the garden closest to the house, but if you walk down to the sea or drive along the road in the middle of the night you could encounter some animals, including wild boars which are native to this area.

Location
The house is in a secluded area of the Monte Argentario, called Cannelle, and overlooks a landmark tiny island called Isola Rossa. On the horizon you can also see Giglio island and some days even Corsica. The Cannelle is a bay were there are about 50 villas and a beach club with cafe' and restaurant in the summer months. It is a great place to swim and relax. The water is crystal clear. Most of the coast here is smooth rock, but Cannelle also has a beach of pebble stones. If you like walking there are lots of hiking trails so this area is also pleasant in spring and autumn. The closet town is Porto Santo Stefano, a 15 minute drive along a beautiful panoramic road. This is where you do your shopping, rent boats or catch a ferry to Giglio or Giannutri islands. Rarely there is even a private charter to visit the legendary island of Montecristo, but you must book months in advance.

Privacy:
This house is part of a huge private villa called 'La Cornovaglia’ that has been divided into six luxury apartments each with their own private outdoor space. Although this property is very spacious you do have neighbours to respect.
