Stunning sea view cottage, surrounded by vineyards, with beach access: 'Lentisk'

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.

Check-in is between 4pm and 8pm, check-out is by 11am.

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!

I almost don’t want to write a glowing review because I don’t want the secret to get out about this place. It’s perfect. If you’re looking for peace and tranquility away from the hustle and noise of crowded beach vacation spots, this is the place for you. The view was incredible, the cottage so clean and comfortable, and though it felt remote it was still close enough to everything. I hope to visit again next year.

Seaside cottage extraordinarie!
From beginning to end Camille communicated responsively to all of our questions and requests. We were greeted by Maria who provided an excellent introduction to Lentisk. We were charmed immediately by the amenities and quaintness of the cottage. The views, comforts, and proximity to Porto Stefano are primo. Our wine tasting was fun with Ilio as he engaged with us and our desire to learn Italian and more about their wines. The olive oil has proven to be our favorite of all that we have tasted in Tuscany. We look forward to ordering vino from them! Anyone who is a guest of Lentisk will be so happy with their decision to holiday there!

Pictures are not enough
The online pictures do not do this place justice. The views and location are absolutely amazing. The house is more comfortable than I expected and everything seems fairly new. But the reason you would stay here is to get away from the crowds elsewhere in Monte Argentario and have this stunning seaside view all to yourself. The private sea access is also incredible - there is a rock to jump off into deep water and you'll have the place to yourself. Set among grapevines and olive trees, what else do you need. With all the isolation, however, is a bit of a challenge getting here although after successfully getting to the property once it was easy. The roads are very narrow though. Our visit could have been improved if we would have been told to follow the signs to the Capa D'Uomo cantina and turning right to pass through the green gate before you get there (you'll have to get buzzed through with Camilla's name). At the T in the road, you drive right to go down to the private beach club (also amazing) by driving past an old "do not enter sign" and drive left to a white gate that you can pass through after you have the clicker you've picked up from check in at the cantina. Anyway, a small price to pay for a chance to stay at this beautiful property!

Fantastic location if you want peace and quiet. Lovely cottage with great amenities and scrupulously clean. We were left a lovely welcome pack of the vineyard wine (beautiful) plus some essentials. The views and outside living areas are spectacular. Stefano and Maria are lovely and very helpful. We would definitely recommend this property but suggest a small hire car to navigate the local roads (ours was far too big) and brush up on your Italian.

Million dollar view
If you like waterfront and mountains-look no farther. Beautiful Mediterranean style house is a place you can relax and at the same time enjoy water on the wonderful Tyrrhenian sea. Great wine tour at the location with Marco, great owner and many restaurants and shopping activities at the nearby town San-Stefano..

Beautiful, beautiful views!
We had a really great time staying here, the views are absolutely stunning. It was so dreamy to wake up there every morning and have have breakfast looking out over the bay. Perfect too for watching a stunning sunset and the stars at night will take your breath away (just make sure you have some bug spray!). The cottage was very comfortable, the mattress was good and so slept well all week. It did lack a few things in the kitchen such as spoons (only had teaspoons, forks and knives for some reason). We purchased a tea towel and a sponge for cleaning up as they were absent too but they were just little things that were easy to purchase for our stay. Check in was easy and friendly. I would recommend a small‘ish size car if visiting as navagating your way up and down from the property is not for the faint of heart. We would have really appreciated some sort of welcome/information folder that you usually receive with holiday lets as we had no idea what to do with the bins or where to find things mentioned such as the walks in the area and steps down to the bay, so perhaps this could be considered for future guests. It’s a great place overall and I would highly recommend staying here if visiting the area!

Wir haben einen wunderschönen Urlaub in einer ganz besonderen Unterkunft verbracht. Die Lage ist unbeschreiblich schön. Sehr ruhig, tolle Terrasse, wunderbarer Blick auf das Meer. Unsere Jungs hatten viel Spaß beim Springen von den Klippen am eigenen Meerzugang, wo wir fast immer ganz alleine waren. Mariagrazia war sehr nett, allerdings nicht darüber informiert, dass wir mit Kindern anreisen. Insgesamt eine wirklich ganz besondere Unterkunft, wenn man die Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit mag. Ein sehr gutes Restaurant ist zu Fuß in ca. 15 Minuten zu erreichen.

Capo d'Uomo: mare, natura, emozioni...
Non conoscevamo l'Argentario e mai avremmo pensato di trovare un mare così vero, limpido e vivo. Ma soprattutto soggiornando ai poderi di Capo d'Uomo abbiamo avuto la possibilità di viverlo in assoluta tranquillità e riservatezza, immersi tra vigne e uliveti, con un mare che ti abbraccia. Sempre. Vedere i delfini seduti sul divano del porticato è un'emozione che non ti puoi aspettare. Passi il tempo nella speranza che si ripeta. La passeggiata che ti porta al mare a tratti stanca le gambe, ma esalta i sensi, per terminare in un angolo di blu che ruba l'ultimo respiro. Profondo, immenso. Tutto tuo. Il sogno comprende anche un ombrellone nella splendida Cala Piccola dove i pesci sono li' ad aspettarti per una nuotata insieme a te. Lasciati guidare. Consiglio: prima di svegliarti passa al ristorante di Giampiero, almeno per un dolce. Esperienza da riprovare. Tutto.
