" Heartbreaking view on the gulf of Talamone in Argentario. 60 m2 +30 m2 of terrace, located 100 m. from the sea and 200 from the tourist harbor and the ferry boat leaving for Giannutri, Giglio and Isola d'Elba. At the same time, thanks to the wonderful step where it is located, it is quite and surrounded by nature. It's just like you were in a boat: from the rooms or from the terrace, in the mording you can see the sunrise on the sea in front of you, at sunset, after a day of sun and swimming, you can admire the view of fishing boats entering in the harbor followed by hundreds of seagulls: a real dream. Nicely furnished with italian taste, blue and white colors.

Hints and tips from the owner:
" 15 August Big Event "The Argentario Marina Palio" of the PortoSantoStefanoTown. The surrounding Etruscan area is full of beautiful little town like Tarquinia, Tuscania, Pitigliano, Sorano and Sovana. Capalbio at only 29 km with many restaurants specialized in the old country side cuisine of Maremma. Saturnia termal bath are also a must if you are in the area. We also recomend a visit to the internal highlands (25 km)in Scansano to buy the famous Morellino wine.
Porto Santo Stefano is not indicated in any Lonely Planet guide and to a limited extent, in other guides. In my opinion, this is a positive step forward. This is the reason why I have written few lines for my guests of the Terrazza dei gabbiani. I will be happy if you will enjoy things I like, I generally used to do when I was there.
Walk to the old light-house
This is an easy walk in the shadow good also for children (45’ minutes back and for). Get off the steps down to the road close to the see and when you have reached it turn left and carry on until the road ends. Then the road becomes a small track and goes up following the cost. Follow the track. On your right side you have Talamone and the Tuscany cost far. The track is small and pleasant and almost desert. At the end of the track you will find a small cemented road going down. Follow it and will reach the old light-house. The view is great with l’isola del Giglio in front of you and in windy days you may see up to Isola di Montecristo. During my walk I usually met Pippo, an old fisherman sleeping on the track under the shadow. A nice old time memory of the past.
Eat pizza con le acciughe e cipolle (pizza with anchovy and onion)
Reach the center of the village and go to old Church. With the Church in front of you on your right side, you will find a road, follow it and it will lead to the Forno (village bakery). Go in the morning. You may buy not only bread but also the typical pizza with anchovy and onion. I like it early morning, provided that you did good exercise before... It is recommended to eat it "
