A secluded paradise of peace and tranquility, the Maremma in Southern Tuscany is a hidden piece of heaven in one of the world’s most famous holiday destinations: Italy. A charming territory, the Maremma still maintains the artistic legacy of the region but is blessed with an unforgettable natural beauty and a history that dates back to the Etruscans and Romans.

Often neglected for the larger cities of Tuscany, the Maremma has remained sparsely populated, with much of the area covered with thick forests of chestnuts and beeches and sprawling green fields of olive groves and vineyards. The villages and towns situated amongst this natural paradise are charmingly small and lovingly maintained. Pieces of history, these beautiful communities transport you back to the grand and fascinating past of Italy, appearing exactly as they did centuries ago.

Staying true to its peasant roots and customs, the Maremma is highly renowned for its cuisine, local produce and regional products. Dishes continue to be prepared following ancient recipes and using the freshest local ingredients, demonstrating the inseparable connection between the cuisine, traditions and the land. The Maremma, with its characteristic hills, is also the ideal location for olive oil and high quality wines. The ample stretches of olive groves and vineyards have, over the years, become an iconographic symbol, an element which differentiates this Tuscan region from the rest of Italy.

An incredibly unique territory, the Maremma manages to seamlessly bring together the most diverse environments, from the waters of the Argentario Promontory and the charming medieval villages of Pitigliano, Manciano and Saturnia, to the peak of Amiata Mountain and the stretching rivers and valleys. Blessed with an ancient heritage the territory also plays an important role in keeping alive the Roman and Etruscan history of Italy and is home to many significant archaeological sites.
