Casa Mori: A farmhouse with a stunning view

After a siesta to recuperate from the wild winding road to this glorious part of the world (located on the western tip of Monte Argentario) you can start to appreciate the handsome Farmhouse and the architectural know how of maximizing light, space and comfortable luxury, in this off the beaten track property.  And the feel of the house is in keeping with the soul of the place: rugged and homely.

Sleeping up to 9, Casa Mori offers guests all-encompassing, inspiring panoramic sea views, along with a beautiful swimming pool carved carefully into some pristine white decking, with many sun loungers on which to perch and dry off from the pool. The Farmhouse is surrounded by a beautifully well-kept garden, a key feature of which is the pergola where days should be spent playing cards, having long fresh lunches and fully embracing outdoor summer living. Another factor setting this Villa apart, aside from its entirely unique position, is the fact that you have private sea access directly from the foot of the garden. Indeed, the sloped and hardy walk leads to a picturesque semiprivate cove and pebbled beach – the perfect sun trap or pick-up point for a day exploring the coast or islands of Giglio and Giannutri beyond, on a private chartered boat.

This Robinson Crusoe getaway is best enjoyed by sporty families or a small group of friends, who are looking for an immersive, romantic escape, a short distance away from the atmospheric Porto Santo Stefano in the hills below.
