Top 20: Villas à Porto Ercole

Tosco On comfort, the Villa in Porto Santo Stefano takes the lead with 8.6 vs. 7.3: a fenced 10x5 m pool, parking and 5 bedrooms with 4 bathrooms, ideal for a large table. But Villa Porto Ercole wins on location (8.1 vs. 7.4) and integration, with its renovated 18th-century former farmhouse, better suited to those who want the beach on foot and a traditional building. The two Toscane Cachée scores are identical at 7.3, and neither lists its price: it's up to you to choose between a spacious pool and coastal charm.

Tosco On ratings, the Villa in Porto Santo Stefano scores 7.3 against 7.0 for the BLUE HOUSE, with more complete comfort (5 bedrooms, air conditioning, fenced pool) and a sea view from the garden. The BLUE HOUSE, however, wins on location (7.6 against 7.4): the center of Porto Ercole is 4 minutes away by car. For a large group that wants a pool and space, go for the Villa; for a small group of eight that prefers to be close to the village, go for the BLUE HOUSE.

Tosco On the Porto Santo Stefano side, the Villa in Porto Santo Stefano takes the lead with 7.3 against 7.0 for Villa Cala Contessa, mainly thanks to comfort and amenities rated 8.6 against 7.4 (fenced 10x5 m pool, air conditioning, five bedrooms). Villa Cala Contessa, for its part, appeals with direct access to Giannella beach and its capacity for fourteen people, so it suits a large group that wants the sea right at the doorstep. Since neither listing specifies prices, I can't decide on budget.

Tosco The Villa in Porto Santo Stefano earns the best comfort score (8.6 against 7.9) with its fenced 10x5 m pool, its 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, and a sea view from the garden: it suits those who want a well-equipped property without needing the sea within walking distance. Villa Cornovaglia, renovated in 2024 and with private sea access, is for those who want to swim directly from the grounds, for 10 people. The two Toscane Cachée scores are close (7.3 against 7.0), and since no prices are listed, you'll need to check the budget before deciding.

Tosco Villa Porto Ercole comes out ahead on the Hidden Tuscany score (7.3 against 7.0) and especially on location (8.1 against 7.6): beach within walking distance, port very close, and a renovated 18th-century former farmhouse, with five air-conditioned bedrooms and a pool. BLUE HOUSE suits you better if you want a saltwater pool, parking and a sea view from the promontory, but you'll need the car to reach the center.

Tosco Villa Porto Ercole has the better score of the two (7.3 against 7.0) and a higher location rating (8.1 against 7.8), with a much better fit to the landscape (7.8 against 6.1) thanks to its renovated 18th-century former farmhouse. It suits a couple or a small group that wants calm, five air-conditioned bedrooms, a pool and the beach within walking distance. Villa Cala Contessa, on the other hand, is more for a large table of fourteen who want direct access to Giannella beach, with six bedrooms, a private garage and parking.
