A holiday among nature, ancient villages and vineyards!
The Maremma overlooks the Tyrrhenian Sea, the territory is flat and hilly, the Mediterranean climate mild during winter and hot in summer. It is one of the most prestigious destinations in Tuscany that attracts international visitors, rich in history and culture but most of all natural beauty and landscapes. The Etruscan and Roman past of the whole area could fill entire chapters with stories as well as its present. Nowadays it is a WWF oasis dense with little villages which seem to stand still in time offering horizons painted by the emerald colour of the sea and the fiery orange of the sunset. But it is 'The Wine Road' and the unrepeatable cypress avenue that leads to Bolgheri that gives this place its incredible charm. Maremma is universally recognized for the gold of its lands and award-winning wines such as Sassicaia and Ornellaia, just to name the most famous ones. They set the backdrop for wine and food itineraries for tastings and guided visits to the best 'Super Tuscan' wineries.
Not to be missed nearby a visit to the ancient villages to enjoy moments of absolute peace that they induce, even if only for a walk. Among these, Sassetta with the hot springs, Populonia and the spectacular view over the Gulf of Baratti with the ancient Etruscan settlement, the Campiglia Marittima village surrounded by rich vegetation and typical countryside of the Maremma Tuscany, Suvereto included among the "Most Beautiful Villages of Italy” with its ancient olive trees and extraordinary vineyards, Castelnuovo Val di Cecina ideal for walking and trekking on Mount Cornate at an altitude of 1,060 metres. It is impossible to describe such a rich territory in a few photographs and words, but certainly the islands such as Elba, Giglio, Capraia, Pianosa, Gorgona and Giannutri, easily accessible from the nearby ports of Piombino and Livorno, to end in style by leaving the wish that you can go at least once in a lifetime.
