Family Friendly Mediterranean

Consider a quieter apartment-style stay with additional space and a more residential feel. A kitchenette and flexible living areas can be especially convenient for families seeking an easy, comfortable rhythm by the sea.

Itinerary Two: Monte Argentario

Day 1 — Toward the Mediterranean

Arrive in Florence and travel through southern Tuscany toward Monte Argentario. Settle into your seaside accommodation, then take an introductory walk along the harbor before dinner.

Day 2 — Porto Ercole

Spend the morning exploring the waterfront and surrounding streets of Porto Ercole. Follow the walk with a long seafood lunch overlooking the marina.

Day 3 — Another Day Without Plans

Enjoy the spa, read beside the pool, or take a relaxed drive to Porto Santo Stefano. Some of the most restorative travel days are the ones left open.

Day 4 — The Coast at Your Own Pace

Visit Porto Santo Stefano, explore the Orbetello Lagoon, or spend another quiet afternoon by the sea. Choose one experience and allow plenty of time to enjoy it.

Day 5 — One Last Tuscan Day

Savor a final breakfast overlooking the Mediterranean, then spend the day revisiting a favorite place or simply enjoying the coast. A sunset aperitivo makes a fitting final evening.

Day 6 — Return to Florence

Travel back to Florence after breakfast, allowing time to enjoy the changing landscape and stop for one final Tuscan meal along the way.
