With opportunities for swimming, snorkeling, and sunbathing along the way, a boat trip from Porto Santo Stefano promises an amazing adventure amidst the stunning scenery of the Tuscan coastline.

A picturesque seaside village and holiday resort already appreciated at the time of imperial Rome, Porto Santo Stefano is located in the Maremma Grossetana and part of the Costa d’Argento at the southern end of Tuscany, It has a great seafaring tradition and is an active commercial, fishing, and seaside center. The town, known for its tourist vocation, is a center of international importance for sailing and pleasure boating. With Porto Ercole, it constitutes one of the two major settlements that make up the municipality.

The fishing boats and the ferries moor in Porto Santo Stefano. The small port of Pilarella, on the other hand, is the place for strolling and relaxing in this lovely place. The Lungomare, which begins with a dated and signed cast iron plaque, is like a gallery of authentic works of art in the open air, with the splendid compositions of the graphic design flooring by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

Attractions in Porto Santo Stefano Tours

1. The Spanish fortress

From the Piazza dei Rioni, a tangle of uphill streets takes you to the Spanish Fortress. Spanish Fortress dominates the Porto Santo Stefano from the top of its walls. It was built in the 17th century, during the Spanish domination. Today, it hosts the permanent exhibits “Submerged Memories” and “Shipwrights”.

2. The Mediterranean Aquarium of the Argentario

The Argentario Mediterranean Aquarium was inaugurated on June 15, 2001. The Argentario Mediterranean Aquarium was built to reproduce as faithfully as possible the most indicative ecosystems of the Costa d’Argento coastline. Seventeen tanks, seven very large, with hundreds of marine animal and plant species. Unique among all are the tanks with seahorses. Next to the larger tanks, visitors can admire a series of small thematic tanks that house the typical species of Mediterranean Sea.

3. The Convent of the Passionist Fathers

The convent, surrounded by generous vegetation, was built in the late 1700s at the behest of St. Paul of the Cross and is a place of peace, tranquillity, and great charm. The Passionist Fathers promote the memory of the Passion of Christ, live in community and lead a life of study, prayer and missionary activity.

The complex consists of a conventual part and the church. It preserves numerous relics of St. Paul and some important works including the “Presentation of Mary in the Temple” by Sebastiano Conca da Gaeta, a valuable nineteenth-century copy of the painting of San Michele by Guido Reni, and the “Madonna and Child” by Pietro Aldi.

On 12 December 2000, to the surprise and amazement of the monks present, Pope John Paul II stopped to pray in the small chapel of the convent.

In March we went to Rome to watch Italy v Wales, Six Nations fixture.
We had a wonderful time in Rome and everything worked perfectly with flights, hotel, rugby match and transfers. We would definitely recommend Bellarome Travel to anyone planning to watch rugby in Rome. Also very impressed with the service before our trip, quick responses to any queries as well as all the information we needed.  Thank you very much !

We just returned from a vacation planned by Daniel and the Bellarome team, and it was truly the trip of a lifetime! We have three sons, aged 21, 18 and 16, and we are all futbol/soccer fans, and a few of us enjoy history. Daniel understood this and planned an incredible ten-day adventure based in two cities, Manchester and London which included three soccer matches, four days of well-planned tours, reliable, on time transportations, and a special NYE dinner. We still had freedom to do some of our own sightseeing and plan our own restaurants. All in all such a fantastic experience for our entire family!

Bellarome Travel was recommended when our regular travel agent closed shop. So happy that we took the recommendation!  We made our travel arrangements just before Covid hit and had to postpone our trip many times.  Daniel, in particular,  was a huge support to us as we dealt with all the cancellations and rescheduling, while he had to deal with the uncertainty of the effect of Covid on his own industry.  Through it all he was kind, understanding, reassuring and supportive.  We finally made a flawless trip in May 2022 thanks to Daniel.  Highly recommend this company.

The hotels have all been lovely, with friendly staff and great service. Ideally thought out for location to the train stations, and for all tourist attractions and amenities. There were no issues with any of the train transfers, and all trips we booked  happened as planned. We have had the most wonderful time, and will not hesitate to call on you again if we decide to do another trip in the future. So appreciative of all the time put in to make this such a memorable holiday...Thank you so much Donna and Michelle ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
