Location

The villa is wonderfully placed for visitors to explore this unspoiled corner of Tuscany, known as the Tuscan Maremma. It is well served by the Siena-Grossetto motorway (4km away), so it is easy to get around. The small town of Paganico is less than 5 minutes away. It is steeped in history, and visitors can see the remains of the medieval defensive walls and town gates. Here, there is a supermarket and some good restaurants.

Grossetto is only 25 minutes from the house. This lesser-known Tuscan city is a hidden gem. Visitors can wander through the medieval streets and soak up the atmosphere in the Renaissance squares. The city’s weekly market takes place every Thursday morning (8 am to 1 pm). This is the best place to find fresh local ingredients to cook at home.

For pure relaxation, head to the Petrioli baths (20 minutes). These natural springs have been popular since Roman times. You can book mud treatments, massages and other services to banish any stress.

Guests may want to head to the beach at Marina di Grosseto (35 minutes) or Castiglione della Pescaia (43 minutes). Here you can enjoy a range of activities as well as excellent restaurants and cafés.

The closest airports are Florence Amerigo Vespucci (1 hour 36 minutes) and Pisa International Airport (1 hour 45 minutes)
