The Maremma is one of the most fascinating areas of Tuscany, with its own strong, wild character that is very different from the normal Tuscan landscape. Consisting of part of south-western Tuscany, it is a variegated landscape, gentle and harsh at the same time: dense beech and oak forests alternate with olive groves and plains of wheat and sunflowers. The Maremma is one of the least populous parts of Italy, a place of large spaces where herds wander in a state of nature.
Even the coast is very varied: long sand beaches, forests that descend to the sea, steep rocks and pristine islands. In these suggestive glimpses of landscape, the visitor suddenly finds himself before a spectacle of medieval villages, fortresses, mighty bastions and ancient cathedrals and monasteries.
The extraordinary rich cuisine with both sea and inland specialities, accompanied by the Mediterranean aroma of its olive oil and farmed DOC wines are new experiences to discover while travelling in Italy.
