About this property

Lentisk is a beautiful one bedroom house on the fashionable peninsula of the Monte Argentario. Surrounded by both olive trees and vineyards, Lentisk overlooks the sea, with unspoiled view of Mediterranean, Giglio Island, Monte Cristo, and at sunset, Corsica. The house has been recently restored by her owner, Camilla Grimaldi, and sits on a impressive wine and olive oil estate called Poderi di Capo d'Uomo, which is set in its own bay, dominated by a Spanish built 16th century tower (which is the logo of the wine estate). It is called Lentisk, after the many lentisk plants around the terrace.

Lentisk is a one bedroom property, though can sleep another couple on a sofa bed in the sitting room. The house benefits from a stunning terrace with an outdoor 'sitting room' where guests can dine on a table made from a large olive oil mill-stone, which can seat up to 12 people. The house also has a sitting room, fully fitted kitchen, bathroom, air-conditioning, fans, working fireplace for the winter, car parking and is in a secluded part of the estate, providing privacy (the house is approx 90m2, excluding the terrace). We have our own friendly and professional staff that manage the property, and if booked in advance, can provide other services such as cooking and shopping.

The house also has direct private access to the clear sea below (4 mins walk), with a stone platform that has a ladder allowing access to the sea.

The Monte Argentario, has been a popular destination since the Roman times, nowadays for the European jet-set, and is famed for its vistas, nature and beautiful and clean sea, and is perfectly located to explore other parts of Southern Tuscany, for example Capalbio, Magliano, Tarquinia, Maremma National Park, Saturnia, among others. The estate is ten minutes drive to Porto Santo Stefano, the local town where you can find restaurants, bars, banks, boat hire, chemists, ferries to the islands and other amenities.

The closest airport is Rome Fiumicino (1.40mins drive). Pisa airport is 2 hours drive.

Lovely cottage and stunning location, and some disappointment

Everything about this cottage was stellar, the views, the amenities, the location. We were disappointed at the surrounding property has been impacted by drought or other neglect, so the vineyards were dead, and the olive trees under stress. The club and pool were never promised, but we hoped they might be available to us. Ocean access was via a rough path and very limited. Overall, I highly recommend this listing, but encourage transparency about the current conditions.

Wonderful setting with picture perfect views

The property is in a very quiet setting, which was perfect for us, with a superb outdoor area for sitting, eating, and enjoying the Tuscan sunsets. The indoors were great; modern, well equipped, spacious and very comfortable. We had a lovely stay, it was a pity that it wasn’t longer. Bug repellent is highly recommended!

Monte Argentario Dream

Overall this is such an amazing property and we feel lucky to have stayed here. There was some miscommunication with the check-in process, our email stated we should meet at the winery at 4pm but when we called, they told us check-in wasn't until 5pm. Ultimately, they were very accommodating and rushed to meet us and get us inside since we were traveling with our baby. Hopefully instructions can be updated for the next guests. The house itself and surrounding property is truly unparalleled, the view is uninterrupted and you are able to relax with the sound of the sea below. The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and is decorated very tastefully. We also loved the 'locals' - friendly cats who live on the property! I would highly recommend a small car as the roads are quite narrow and the turns to get down to the house are very tight. Definitely spend a day at the beach club on property, an unforgettable time!

About the host

Hosted by Camilla Grimaldi

Camilla Grimaldi had contemporary art galleries in Florence, Rome and London, and is now an art curator for Photo London and art advisor. Camilla also spend a lot of time at Capo d'Uomo, running her olive oil and wine estate.

Why they chose this property

Lentisk is part of a large, wine and olive oil producing estate called Poderi di Capo d'Uomo, right on the sea, yet sits in a secluded area, surrounded by vines and olive trees. Guests can visit the wine cellars and try one of the 6 different wines made on the estate.

The house has been recently restored and has all the comforts one could wish for, and is well managed by the estate staff. Being on the sea, the views are stunning, and enjoy a perfect sunset every evening. You can use the direct path that heads down to the private stone platform allowing sea access.

There are also a number of walks. one to the tower which is the highest point of Monte Argentario, or to the cape which gives its name to the estate, Capo d'Uomo.
