Maremma

Maremma is the most authentic and wild face of Tuscany: an ancient land, wrapped in the scents of the sea and Mediterranean scrub, where the colors of nature change with the seasons.

Don’t look for it on a map: Maremma has no clear boundaries, but when you arrive, you feel it on your skin. It is a place of vast spaces and slow rhythms, perfect for those who love to travel in harmony with nature and rediscover authentic paces.

Its geographical boundaries are rooted in history: Dante, in the 13th canto of the Inferno, described it as the land between Cecina (Livorno) and Corneto, present-day Tarquinia.

Today, Maremma stretches across southern Tuscany, offering a variety of landscapes:

• The Coast, with unspoiled beaches and crystal-clear waters opening out to the islands of the Tuscan Archipelago.
• The Metalliferous Hills, guardians of medieval villages rich in history.
• Monte Amiata, towering over the valley and the nearby Val d’Orcia.
• The Land of Tuff, with the mysterious Etruscan “Vie Cave” carved into the rock.

Maremma is the ideal destination for outdoor lovers: you can explore it on foot, by bike, or on horseback along trails through forests, hills, olive groves, and vineyards, discovering ancient medieval villages and breathtaking landscapes. Encounters with wildlife are common: wild boars, deer, and foxes roam freely in this land.

The sea, on the other hand, invites you to dive into clear waters, enjoy leisurely sails along the coast, or experience thrilling wind-driven adventures.

In Maremma, flavor takes center stage: from traditional dishes to local specialties, everything is “made in Maremma.” Robust wines, extra virgin olive oil, cured meats, cheeses, and game-based dishes reveal the soul of this land.
