About Ansedonia
Ansedonia is a hamlet of Orbetello on a promontory just over 100 m above the sea, a short distance from the Roman ruins of Cosa. Mediterranean scrub runs down to two long dark-sand beaches, one facing Orbetello and the Feniglia tombolo and the other facing Capalbio, with free stretches alternating with beach resorts. The promontory has a Roman drainage cut, the Tagliata Etrusca, and the Torre della Tagliata, where Puccini lived and began Turandot. Homes are spread around the area, roughly nine kilometres at the widest. None has a pool, nearly all have a garden and most have air conditioning. Out of season the hamlet is quiet.

Cosa

Getting to Ansedonia
Rome Fiumicino is the main airport, just under an hour and a half by road. A direct bus to Orbetello station runs only twice a day and the train takes over three and a half hours, so a hire car is the practical way to reach and move around the homes.
When to go to Ansedonia
No home here has a private pool, so summer is about the beach, and most homes have air conditioning. Free stretches of beach alternate with beach resorts, so you can choose between a paid spot and your own towel. Some homes have a fireplace for cooler months. Check opening times at the beach resorts and Cosa museum before an off-season visit.
