Sea, countryside, pine forests and Monte Amiata: the unspoiled nature of Tuscany Maremma

Once arrived in the province of Grosseto, the first thing that surprise the visitor is the beauty of nature. Here, nature dominates wild and protected. The landscapes are breathtaking and various. We have the classic Tuscan countryside, but also woods, pine forests and gentle hills. We have a crystal clear sea accessible from long golden beaches (Follonica, Castiglione della Pescaia, Marina di Grosseto, Capalbio Scalo, Giannella and Feniglia) as well as from romantic bays (Punta Ala, Monte Argentario, Talamone). We have the islands of Giglio and Giannutri. We have Monte Amiata, halfway between Maremma and Val d’Orcia (Castel del Piano, Arcidosso, Santa Fiora).


Moreover, characteristic medieval villages (“borghi”) enrich these landscapes: places to be discovered to travel through time.
