| summary= The small port of '''San Stefano''', with its two harbours, '''Porto del Valle''' and '''Porto Vecchio''', lies on the N side of the prominent Argentario peninsula on the Tuscan coast of Italy. The island of [[Giglio]] lies 12 miles WSW and the island of [[Elba]] just over 40 miles NW. Yachts generally either anchor moor in Porto Vecchio or moor on the pontoons of the tiny Porto Domiziano marina in Porto del Valle. Both harbours get very busy during the summer season and it can be difficult to find space here.  Shelter is poor in both harbours with strong northerly winds and probably untenable in gales from this quarter.

The prevailing winds along the Tuscan coast are from NW or W and are mostly moderate, rarely rising above force 5. Close inshore, a yacht will often encounter SE or even S winds, especially around the offshore islands, or long periods of calm. A depression passing to the N along the line of the Alps will sometimes cause a ''libeccio'', a strong SW wind that occasionally reaches gale force and causes a heavy swell. In winter, the ''tramontana'' is a very strong N or NE wind that blows down off the Alps and can affect most of the NW coast of Italy.

Santo Stefano, with Porto Vecchio (right) and Porto del Valle (left)

The small port of San Stefano, with its two harbours, Porto del Valle and Porto Vecchio, lies on the N side of the prominent Argentario peninsula on the Tuscan coast of Italy. The island of Giglio lies 12 miles WSW and the island of Elba just over 40 miles NW. Yachts generally either anchor moor in Porto Vecchio or moor on the pontoons of the tiny Porto Domiziano marina in Porto del Valle. Both harbours get very busy during the summer season and it can be difficult to find space here. Shelter is poor in both harbours with strong northerly winds and probably untenable in gales from this quarter.

Navigation

The rocky outcrop of the Argentario Peninsula dominates the flat land to either side and is visible from some distance off. From N and W the lighthouse of Punta Lividonia is easily identifiable. The harbours of Santo Stefano lie in a bight on the E side of Punta Lividonia. Porto Vecchio is a small, open quayed inlet at the northern end of the town, whereas Porto del Valle half a mile SE is enclosed by two prominent breakwaters and entered from NNE.
