Local area information:
The Tuscan Maremma offers a vast richness of places, country scenes and atmospheres which are not easy to describe or explain. You become immediately aware when you come for the first time from the north or from the south of the gentleness of the hillsides, the richness and particularity of the countryside, which is a small world in itself.
The first sensation it gives you is one of peacefulness. Your stay could then lead you towards the discovery of and interest in the history of the ancient civilisations which existed here for thousand of years, or else you may immerse yourselves in the extreme quietness of the parks and natural oases, or even combine an interest in the ancient communities with a strong curiosity for the rich tradition of its cuisine and wine.
Each holiday you will take in the Maremma could have the theme and excursions you prefer and which you most feel the need for. Apart from the places, the people of the Maremma contribute to this most particular atmosphere
