MORE ABOUT THE HOUSE AND MONTE ARGENTARIO

Our house is situated in the foothills of Monte Argentario, a mountain promontory with long sandy beaches and a rocky coastline in southern Tuscany. It is as suitable for smaller groups in September and October when the prices are lower and the weather cooler.
Most years you can swim right up to the end of October.

The house itself with 10 acres of land is a completely private place and yet only five minutes from the sea and the village of Porto Ercole with its pretty harbour, restaurants, bars and cafes

Apart from the views, perhaps the most striking feature is the wide-ranging terrace, planted with pomegranate, olive, pine and lime trees. Here you can eat out either under a pergola or at another spot looking across the sea. In the evenings the outside lights make the terrace seem to be a part of the house.

Nearby under the eucalypts you will find a ping-pong table and a trampoline for children. Elsewhere a badminton court close to the secluded pool for an after-game swim.

And only five minutes away is one of the most beautiful sandy beaches on the Tuscan coast. Extending from the Argentario in a 6 kilometre crescent to the mainland, the Feniglia has all the seaside facilities including bars, restaurants, wind-surfing, water and jet skiing.

Behind the beach is a magnificent pine forest with deer and other wildlife. Bicycles can be hired to ride through the forest and you can stop at various places along the way to swim and which is considerably less crowded in high summer - see photographs

⠀⠀⠀
SOME INTERESTING THINGS TO DO IN OUR AREA

Take a ferry to the nearby island of Giglio and eat at one of its excellent sea-food restaurants and swim in the crystal-clear water.

Follow one of the many hiking trails which will take you all over Monte Argentario, opening stupendous views up and down the Tuscan coast. One of them begins at the bottom of our drive.

Rent a boat and go round the Argentario visiting the blue grotto and the many small bays on the shore.

Visit the sulphur baths at Saturnia, an hour's drive from the house.

Don't miss the unique Etruscan tombs at Tarquinia.

Take a boat trip round the nearby lagoons where you could see flocks of migrating flamingoes (depending on the season) and other wildlife.

Visit the Tarot Garden designed by Niki de Saint Phalle near Capalbio, a hillside town 35 minutes from the house with first class restaurants and sensational sunsets.

Wander round the market which takes place every Monday in Porto Ercole and on Saturday in Orbetello.

Best family gathering villa
We were 12 with 4 grandchildren ranging from 2 to 6 years old and this villa had something for everyone. Some air conditioned and fan bedrooms, lots of bathrooms, a large living room, great outdoor space and amazing views. There is a lovely terrace with lawn where children play while adults rest, a pool nestled on a lower level far enough from the house so no safety issues, a trampoline, a ping pong table and badminton court! Perfectly located to enjoy beautiful beaches, charter boats for island hoping and dine in Porto Ercole (If you can find a parking spot!!) Lourdes and Luigi care for the house and gardens and are the most pleasant and helpful people I have met in a rental. A lovely cook is available, speaks English and prepares delightful Italian dishes. All In all we had the best time under the Tuscan sun!

A truly special place
A very lovely house and grounds. It is a clearly loved family home, spacious and relaxed and yet incredibly well equipped especially the kitchen which was important for us with 2 chefs in our group. The whole atmosphere of Casa Moorhead is welcoming - lots of comfy chairs everywhere enabling everyone to either join together on the beautiful main terrace with stunning views of the bay, or to just mosey off and do their own thing, reading books from the very interesting library on the other terraces or wandering down to the very private, beautifully clean swimming pool. The directions were good, given that it is up a fairly narrow lane and it really is 5 minutes away from Porte Ercole with great cafes and restaurants and a lovely wide safe beautifully kept beach. We were a group of 11 friends and family ranging from 30 to 87 and we all found it a truly special place.

Wonder in the woods
The house was lovely with plenty of space for everyone to have privacy and also with good places to be together. The terrace overlooking the woods and sea was spectacular both during the day and in the evening. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed using it to cook although we also had Giovanna cook for us on a couple of nights and that was even more wonderful! She is a great cook and a lovely person. The pool lower down in the garden was also delightful and felt quite private away from the house. This property is very much a home and is full of books and has cosy sofas and chairs if the weather is not clement. We were travelling with friends and family and we all loved the house and gardens. we hope to return.

A spacious welcoming home, uniquely and conveniently located for a variety of holiday activities
If you are looking for a spacious house hidden away on a coastal Tuscan hillside, but with access to a variety of places in southern Tuscany, Casa Moorehead offers a wonderful location. The house is spacious, but it is more than a house, it is a home, and we immediately felt at home there. Indoors or outdoors, the house is well appointed for holiday living, and the charming terrace places you in amongst the trees, but with view of the surrounding hills and the sea. Sunrise was a particular delight. We discovered that the house had a unique literary association, which added a special curiosity and dimension to our stay. The location places you within easy car travel distance of waterfront cafes and restaurants at Porto Ercole and Porto Santo Stefano, swimming beaches, islands off the coast, inland hilltop Tuscan villages and historic and modern attractions. And there are nearby shopping facilities for all your needs. Be prepared for a narrow road and driveway up to the house, but it is easily carefully navigated. We were a group of family and friends and thoroughly enjoyed what was an all too short 11 day stay. It was October, so pleasantly warm, not hot. John R

Wonderful family holiday
The property is rustic and has a great history. The highlights would be - spacious living area/views/pool/badminton court/table tennis/kitchen/terrace/outdoor dining area/cooks. In the heat of August it is a bit of a struggle to stay cool (no AC) but we coped nonetheless. Staff and owners are brilliantly responsive. Thanks to all!

Wunderbar geräumiges Anwesen
Wir (7 - 8 befreundete Erwachsene) hatten eine gute Zeit. Das Haus ist liebevoll und praktisch eingerichtet. Entspannung im Garten. Fein gegessen um den Runden Tisch im Freien. Schöne Ausflüge. Lourdes und Luigi haben einen guten Job gemacht. (Bei der Buchung war uns gar nicht bewusst, dass dieser Service dabei ist). Für 2 kleine Reparaturen haben sie sofort telefoniert und innert Kürze war die Sache erledigt. Den Abzug-Stern gibt es einzig, weil einer der Freunde auf den Rollstuhl angewiesen ist. Dabei ist der Eingang schwierig und der Weg zum Pool unmöglich. Der Vermieter hat uns nach dieser Rückmeldung mit einem grosszügigen Erstattungsangebot überrascht. Und dafür gibt es Zusatzsterne! Wir empfehlen die Villa Moorehead sehr gerne weiter.

Family vacation in beautiful Italian villa
Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay in your beautiful house, John, which met all our expectations. Very beautiful place with great views, short distance to lovely beach and charming marina in Porto Ercole. We enjoyed the very beautiful terrace and garden including swimming pool. We could easily stay 13 persons in this very spacious and well-equipped house with 5 bathrooms. Thank you, John, for your quick answers on every question we had, planning the vacation, and all your help and guidance. And thank you to the housekeeper and gardener for keeping the house, garden and pool in perfect shape during our stay.

Tolles Haus mit Charakter und Aussicht
Wunderbar gelegen, kurze Wege nach Porto Ercole und zu verschiedenen schönen Stränden. Grandiose Aussicht. Das Haus bietet viel Platz, könnte hier und da etwas renoviert werden, jedoch macht gerade dies den Charme aus.
