Nature Experiences: From Parco della Maremma to Monte Amiata
The Parco Naturale della Maremma – also known as Uccellina Park – is one of Tuscany's most important nature reserves, renowned for its unspoilt dune landscapes, extensive pine forests and pristine coastline. Further inland, the wooded slopes of Monte Amiata, dotted with picturesque villages such as Santa Fiora, invite visitors to enjoy scenic walks, hiking trails and the tranquillity of the Tuscan countryside. Many of our holiday homes surrounded by nature enjoy breathtaking views across these protected natural landscapes.
Pure Wellness: The Thermal Baths of Saturnia
One of the highlights of southern Tuscany is Terme di Saturnia. Its natural sulphur springs and the famous steaming limestone pools of the Cascate del Mulino are among Italy’s best-known thermal attractions and can be enjoyed free of charge throughout the year. For those seeking a more exclusive wellness experience, the Terme di Saturnia spa resort offers a wide range of treatments. A visit can easily be combined with a stay in a country house in the Maremma.
The Flavours & Wines of the Maremma
The cuisine of the Province of Grosseto reflects the rich gastronomic traditions of the Maremma. Be sure to try Tortelli Maremmani, hearty wild boar dishes or traditional Pappardelle al Cinghiale – wide ribbon pasta served with a rich wild boar ragù. Wine lovers should not miss the opportunity to sample Morellino di Scansano, the Maremma’s flagship red wine. A holiday at a wine estate in the Maremma promises unforgettable moments of enjoyment surrounded by rolling hills and vineyards.
Festivals & Living Traditions of the Maremma
The traditions of the Maremma are still deeply rooted in its rural heritage. The Butteri—the region’s traditional mounted cattle herders—play a special role. Various local associations preserve this unique heritage by organising equestrian demonstrations and riding competitions.
One of the region's most famous historical events is the Balestro del Girifalco in Massa Marittima – a medieval crossbow tournament between the city’s districts, held twice a year. Village festivals and culinary events throughout the hinterland further enrich the region's cultural life, celebrating local traditions and regional specialities.
From your holiday accommodation in the Maremma, you can discover the region's living traditions through these unique events and celebrations.
