What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s built on what’s left of a 15th-century watchtower, but its 53 rooms and suites are elegant both in style and in comforts.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Monte Argentario's western cliffs look out toward Giglio and Giannutri, with Porto Santo Stefano just a short coastal drive away.
The rooms
Stone cottages stepped down the promontory feature tiled floors and private terraces overlooking olive groves or the open sea.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Scalloped parasols line the freshwater infinity pool, perched on the cliff terrace looking out toward Giglio Island.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Ristorante Torre d'Argento
Linen-draped tables on the open-air terrace serve regional Maremman seafood and local red prawns above the water.
At the table
Bistrot & Lounge La Torre sets cafe tables beside the Spanish watchtower for sunset drinks under the pines.
