The best things about this villa on the coast of Tuscany include the expansive sea views and sunsets, the charming kitchen and colorful dishes, the large private pool, and more. I’m sharing this home we rented in Porto Santo Stefano, Italy as my Five Faves with Cindy and Annie.
Porto Santo Stefano is about a two-hour drive from Rome. It’s basically an island but with a narrow bit of land that connects it to the mainland (so it’s actually a peninsula).

with beautiful sunsets.
2. Charming Well-Stocked Kitchen
We made some delicious meals in this well-stocked kitchen.
With produce from the farmers market (held on Tuesdays).
3. Beautiful Italian Dishes To Use Everyday
It’s fun to look into the cupboards to find pretty pottery.
Refreshing Fennel and Orange Salad recipe.
4. Private Pool
We enjoyed the large pool on the premises.
5. Beach Club Access
There is a private beach club built into the side of the hill that leads down to the sea. And they have an excellent restaurant there.
Those were some of the things we loved about renting this villa on the coast of Tuscany.

Enchanting, Mary Ann … absolutely enchanting. What a great getaway with your family … an amazing memories. I saved the villa for future reference … you always find the best places to stay. Hope you had an uneventful journey home. xo
Looks like it could be a movie set…how fabulous!!! Would love to know logistics/details how you got from Rome and then back to Rome airport? Did you have a car/van or driving service? Also how far is the market from villa? You have stayed in so many wonderful places over the years. Could this one be top of the list?
Fantastic Villa!! I would love to go stay at that home!! Italy is one of our favorite places!!
