The majestic white spiral staircase leads you into a bar lounge furnished with tables shaped like wild boars and a counter that is reminiscent of an unlikely science laboratory. Across the lounge, the panoramic outdoor terrace offers panoramic views of Orbetello Lagoon and Monte Argentario’s lush landscape. Welcome to Aper Bar, the design lounge bar in Porto Ercole and one of the coolest meeting spots in Maremma Tuscany.
