Bengodi

Under two hours from Rome, this comfortably furnished house with magnificent lawned gardens and direct access to the beach, is an ideal retreat for relaxed summer living and is extremely popular with families. A small pool is an added bonus.

In an area famous for its Etruscan ruins, wildlife, pine forests and beaches, Bengodi is a much loved and very charming family home that has the most welcoming feeling imaginable. Special mention must be made of the exceptionally large sitting / dining room (with full size billiard table) which opens onto a shaded terrace. Those interested in an English garden in Italy will love its large and beautiful gardens created by its enthusiastic owner, with many species of roses. Extensive lawns slope down to a sandy/shingly beach with some rocks and pleasant swimming in the bay. In the evening, sitting watching the sunset with Talamone silhouetted across the water is a wonderful experience. Boat hire can be arranged to explore this lovely coastline, fashionable resorts and excellent restaurants. The wildly beautiful coastline of Monte Argentario is only a short drive away and more sophisticated parties may like to visit nearby Porto Ercole and the gourmet restaurant at the fabled Hotel Il Pellicano. Highly recommended – book early.
