Pic
Maremma Natural Park

Absolutely uncontaminated sorroundings, soft and wild at the same time. The Monti dell’ Uccellina hills, the pine woods of Alberese, the Ombrone estuary, the Trappola swamps , together they create a precious mosaic of ecosystems.

Pic
The beaches

The Maremma is wild and so are its beaches. They stretch over many kilometers and are backed by either sand dunes, pine woods or mediterranean maquis. There are only a few bathhouses and several points where you can access the beach for free. Plenty of open space to swim and enjoy.

Pic
Saturnia thermal baths

A half hour’s drive will take you to the famous sulphur springs of the Terme di Saturnia. Don’t miss the Cascate del Mulino, the spring’s waterfalls on the side of an old mill, which create small natural pools in the rock. Even in winter the water has a constant temperature of 37°C.

Pic
Wind and Kitesurf - Wind beach

In the bay between Fonteblanda and Talamone, only 3 km away, we find the "WIND BEACH", a special place for windsurfing and kitesurfing. The thermal wind can reach speeds up to 25 knots but thanks to the particular territorial conformation, waves are absent within the first two miles from the shore. Moreover the water is shallow up to 200 metres from the shore.

Pic
Pitigliano and Sovana

The etruscan towns of Sovana and Pitigliano are built on tuff rock cliffs. They were successively dominated by the Romans and the Lombards. The breathtaking view coming from the curve of the Madonna delle Grazie, is a good excuse to drive there and explore.

Pic
The Tarot Garden

The Garden of Tarot is the passionate work of the surreal sculptor and artist Niki de Saint Phalle. It’s immersed in the mediterranean maquis near Capalbio.

Pic
The WWF Oasis

In the Orbetello Lagoon and at the Burano lake, the WWF Oasis are located along one of the most important migration routes and are among the main wintering sites for birds nesting in Europe.

Pic
Argentario, Giglio and Giannutri

Within a short boat ride you can reach small rocky inlets where you can swim in chrystal blue-green water and enjoy the underwater marine life.

Pic
Etruscans and Romans

The Maremma has been the cradle of etruscan civilization. You shouldn’t miss to visit the archeological sites of Vetulonia, Roselle and Sovana. Also worthwhile a trip is the Roman archeological site of the Città di Cosa.

Red wine - The Morellino di Scansano

“He who knows how to taste does not drink wine, but savors secrets.” (Salvador Dali)
The Morellino di Scansano is a DOCG wine, native of the Maremma region around Grosseto, its history is quite impressive and dates back to the etruscan and roman times. We can recommend some excellent wineries for wine tastings and to buy directly from the producers.

Il Cielo stellato della Maremma

If we could see the stars from just one place on Earth, people would never stop going on a pilgrimage to that place for seeing them. – Seneca
Maremma can give you emotions even at night. The near-absence of light-pollution allows you to enjoy an amazing starry sky. At the „Valentina Nuova“ you can just look up at sky and the stars will embrace you!
