We are in the heart of unspoilt Tuscan countryside (Maremma) but just at 20
minutes from the sea.
Maremma is a large area in southern
Tuscany. It is a perfect
microcosm that stretches between the provinces of Livorno and
Grosseto. Maremma is unique because of the
variety of its territory: blue sea, long beaches, black rock, hills covered with
woods, marshes and flat lands, green hills and natural thermal baths. It's a
timeless region with ancient roots. Here the Etruscans and then the Romans
flourished for centuries leaving behind important traces in the Etruscan cities
of Populonia and
Roselle
and many archeological finds around the region. Maremma is not just culture and
landscapes; it is also a region rich in typical products to be tasted and
savoured while drinking a good glass of wine. Sea, hills and mountains melt
perfectly in its food, the acquacotta soup is a just one example. Sea and
fishing towns, mineral hills and archeological parks, tuff cities, Mount Amiata
and natural reserves. Art cities, medieval villages, Etruscan sites, museums,
churches and natural parks. A land as wild as the Maremma is a discovery every
single time you visit it! Countless bewitching landscapes stretch along 500km of
coast, from fine sand beaches to rocky coasts, all framed by the distinctive
Mediterranean flora. In
Tuscany
the seaside is a year-round destination: offering a mild climate even in the
colder seasons, entertainment, excellent cuisine and lots of water sports. But a
visit to
Tuscany's
coastline also means diving into the history and art of the region, with
historic villages and castles, art-rich towns and architectural jewels all a
short trip from the coast.
Tuscany
is a destination for everyone. If you're looking for relaxation and comfort or
you can't imagine a holiday without sport,
Tuscany
offers everything from golf to
windsurfing, sailing to canoeing and diving, thanks to the lively submarine life
and the numerous shipwrecks on the seabed - all things waiting to be explored!
Finish your visit to the coast with a trip out to the islands of the Tuscan
Archipelago headed by the Isola d’Elba, easily reached in just an hour by ferry. |
