La Fontanina
High above sea-level lies this beautiful, exclusive restaurant, up in the green hills and over looking Argentario. This was recommended by Jo and Griff Rhys Jones (British comedian, writer, actor AND classic yacht owner). It's where they like to go, much akin to other classic yacht owners, while attending the Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge at Argentario.
Ristorante La Bussola
Local resident and well known photographer – America (nearly, and almost Italian, at least in his heart), recommended this restaurant that's run by Mauro and Yula Piani.
You'll find seasonal fish of course, dishes influenced from further in land. This is an award winning restaurant boasting locally sourced produce and convenient location, near the ferry landing. There are lots of restaurants in Porto Santo Stefano so decide carefully and book ahead.
Hotel La Caletta
Its location takes your breath away, just in front of the sea and in Porto S. Stefano down town, the Hotel La Caletta offers rooms with seaview, seaside and private dock, and a magnificent panoramic terrace to watch the classics racing if you're not taking part.
Some of the most regular participants to the Panerai Classic Yacht Challenge stay here so book well in advanced.
