CAPO D'UOMO
Near PORTO SANTO STEFANO


Sleeps 10

Perched high up, on the edge of a privately owned peninsula, the houses seems to grow out of the rocks, which plunge down to the Mediterranean. With its newly completed heated pool and fantastic views looking out over the sea to the island of Giglio (and Corsica on a clear day), Capo D'Uomo provides the ultimate holiday retreat.

The distinguished owner of Capo D' Uomo had a very fixed idea when he was looking for somewhere to buy many years ago. He found a perfect place where he has successfully cultivated a working estate. Capo D'Uomo sits within the 125 acres of this stunning landscape, thick with vines and olive trees and blessed with the ever changing views of the sea.

Dedicated to the Monte Argentario region, this owner's continuing passion and personal interest has encouraged the rebirth of the local farming activity to co-exist in harmony with the inevitable face of tourism (very strictly controlled on the Monte Argentario).

An immaculate drive lined with pine trees leads you to Capo D'Uomo. Spread across two levels of large, spacious traditional terracing, the property provides modern stylish accommodation in a unique, unspoiled location, which would appeal to those looking for undisturbed, peaceful surroundings. The hexagonal shaped main building houses the living / dining room with access through an ultra modern kitchen well equipped with stainless steel surfaces, large "state of the art" ovens and huge American style fridges, unarguably a dream work space for any serious cook. Air conditioned bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms, fridges and telephones in every room, provides ultimate comfort..

An unobtrusive, caretaker couple ensures that all needs are attended to. Outside, a sophisticated "al fresco dining room" serves as a pleasant shaded area from the heat of the day, while truly coming into its own at night with romantic views to a starlit sky, waves lapping on the rocks and Giglio romantically silhouetted against the horizon.

Whatever the time of day, we consider this a perfect position to enjoy a glass of white wine made in the owner's personal cantina, and more importantly from the vines that you see in front of you. For more energetic individuals, there is a steepish 10 minute walk down to private beach club (open from June 1 - Oct. 15), or alternatively for those less inclined to physical exertion, it is a 3 minute drive. Here you can swim off of the rocks in the sea and follow it with a fantastic lunch in the club restaurant. A truly exceptional property in a spectacular location. Early reservation suggested.
