The Maremma area
The estate, surrounded by vineyards and fields, is located
in the southern part of Tuscany, in the lee of the Monte Argentario
promontory, between Porto Ercole and the ancient medieval tower
of Talamone. It lies in the heart of the Maremma area,
5 km from the enticing, crystalline waters of the sea, making this area the
"pearl" of Tuscany.
The estate's privileged location makes it easy for guests
quickly to reach the nearby natural parks (such as the Maremma and Uccellina
Parks), nature reserves (such as the Orbetello Lagoon)
and WWF oases, famous for sightings of rare animals.
The area is uniquely rich in major archaeological sites, such
as the Vulci Archaeological Park, and is endowed with marvellous
museums, such as the City of Cosa Museum, alongside the excavations
of the splendid Etruscan city, and the Tarquinia and Vetulonia
museums.
The area is only an hour's drive from Sovana. Nearby, you will
find Saturnia, with its famous hot springs, and the medieval centre
of Capalbio, now a jet-set holiday resort. And Rome,
Siena and Florence are but an hour and a half
away by car.
Nearby, there are wineries producing and selling both quality red wines, such as
Morellino di Scansano DOC, and elegant white wines, such as the famous Vermentino
DOC from Capalbio. The winery owners are always pleased to offer tastings
of the wines they so expertly produce from their famous vineyards.
Your stay will be all the more enjoyable thanks to the many sports activities on
