Dinner beneath the Tuscan stars

Highlights

The call of Tuscan tradition, the sea breeze and the stars will accompany you in a luxury candlelight experience overlooking Monte Argentario, a magical place far from the noise of the city:

  • Welcome arrival
  • Romantic 4 or 7-course gourmet dinner with local produce

Discover together with Civitatours this magical place far from everyday life.

With this offer Civitatours propose its beloved clients a luxury experience in a unique and magical location on Monte Argentario: choose this gastronomic and dinner beneath the Tuscan stars journey that involves all the senses and you won’t regret it! The restaurant is located overlooking the sea of Argentario, in a panoramic position that contemplates the cliffs of the Cala from which it takes its name, the silvery sea of the promontory and the islands of Giglio and Giannutri.

The restaurant has a splendid terrace connected by steps and vegetation, a place where you can find yourself in contact with nature. The Saracen tower built by the Pisans in the 15th century, which overlooks the estate and shines under the starry sky, is also evocative. It was from this watchtower, which has remained intact over the centuries, that the dream of entrepreneur Carlo Bertuzzi and his partner Nina Benini began.

The couple bought the tower in 1957 and imagined a structure of great quality and hospitality, immersed in the unparalleled nature of the Argentario. Have a special dinner beneath the Tuscan stars!

Over the years, the location has hosted the overwhelming love affair between Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, as well as leading figures in politics and show business, becoming a popular destination for travellers from all over the world.

From 2019 onwards, the hotel will be transformed into a Boutique Hotel: the aim is to offer guests an authentic Tuscan experience, in what is still a place where silence, privacy and spectacular views over the Argentario sea are true luxury.

The Chef is Francesco Carrieri, a proud lover of the Maremma tradition. His cooking philosophy focuses on seasonality and quality: only the freshest raw materials are used, which arrive in the kitchen strictly from local suppliers. The menu changes every month according to the ingredients.

You can taste the Tuscan tradition in every mouthful, from the Mugello meat slices to the pasta, but also in the more innovative dishes such as the raw prawns and burratina cheese and the ribollita and ricciola croquettes.

There are also vegan, vegetarian, gluten free and children’s menus. Special attention is also paid to allergies and intolerances. We are all set up for a perfect dinner beneath the Tuscan stars!

Our wine cellar offers a wide choice of Italian wines with a particular selection of Tuscan and unique products from our promontory.
